VHIage'Improvements Contemplated.
The incorporated village has
pur-
chased a gravel bank near
the .one
recently bought by the town on the
river road to Orl ns, and will use the
gravel from t s bank to improve the
streets of the village this summer.
These banks have only recently been
discovered and should prove a source
of much good to both the town and
village. It is hoped that operations
can commence within the next week
and several teams willTbe put on the
job. It is understood that Main street
will be resurfaced and South Church
street will probably be graveled. The
trustees have also- decided to experi
ment to a small extent with oiling the
streets this season and have contracted
for oil from the Standard Oil company,
who will also do the work of putting
it on with their automatic pressure
carts.
Another improvement in the village
will be the new sewage system, which
has been talked for several years, and
which it was voted at the recent
village meeting to commence this
summer. This new sewage line will
run near the brook which cdmes down
past the Mrs. Ruggles property and
one line will branch off after going
through the underpass near Reirden's
and run to the McLellan and Gil more
section of the village, while the other
will be laid up Lincoln avenue to High
street and offer easy access to houses
on Lincoln avenue, and a part of High
street. v -
It is contemplated also putting in
an under street drain from the post
office to the sewer near Batchelder's
storei and then grading and building
up the street around the park. No
portion m the village needs the atten
tion more than the square. ..All other
streets in the village were dry while
the stree,t in -front of the Seaver block
and Batchelder and Pierce & Barrows
blocks was a mud-hole this spring.
Mrs. Mary Hafford.
Another of our old time citizens,
Mrs. Mary Hafford, died at her home
on' Lake street April 27. The funeral
was held on the 29th at St. Paul's
Catholic church and interment in the
Catholic cemetery at St. Johnsbury,
beside the remains of her husband, who
died in 1870 and was buried there as
there was no consecrated ground here
at that time. Her maiden name was
Mary Dolan. She was born in Ros
cray, Tipperary county, Ireland, Aug.
15, 1822 and married there to Thomas
Hafford Sept. 29, 1849. They soon
crossed the ocean and first made their
home in New Hampshire but came to
his town in 1857 with the railroad, by
which he was employed until his death.
They were the parents of seven chil
dren, but she is survived by only four,
three sons and a daughter: Edward
and Mary in the home here, Thomas
of Lyndonville and John of Ports
mouth, N. H. .And so one who cov
ered nearly a century of life, more
than half of it in our midst, has passed
from among us. "None knew her but
to love her, none saw her but to
praise.

FLOODED ! A
This is "Free Monitor Month" and
the number of people who have asked
to have the Monitor sent them during
May in accordance with our offer, or
whose names have beerrsent by others,
has nearly swamped the office. One
man asked to have the Monitor sent to
over 20 of his friends and we are glad
to do it Others have given us many
names and every mail has brought
letters and postcards from individuals
who want it. The telephone has also
been busy. But we are glad to get
them all and every one will get the
Monitor every issue 'in May. We
merely ask those who have requested
it, to have patience and if the paper
comes a day late, remember it is be
cause our normal mailing facilities
are warped ouj; of shape.
Incidentally this flood of names is a
tribute to the value of advertising.
Not alone in the Monitor has this
campaign been advertised but three
competing local papers have been
used to advertise "Free Monitor
Month." We trust that . everyone of
the 891 who receive the four free
copies of the Monitor will read and
enjoy it. That's the Monitor's joy in
doing this somewhat expensive bit of
publicity work. .
Methodist Episcopal Church Notes
We are glad to welcome our pastor
back for another year
Sunday morning the pastor used for
his subject. " Is Christianity a Delu
sion?" Text found in Ezekiel 21 :21.
If you follow the way God has point
ed out, you will surely be right. God
has set guide posts, danger signals and
warnings all along the way, so there
is no excuse for us to go wrong. We
have not the slightest reason for think
ing we can lead a bad life and at the
end get a seat in heaven. We cannot
sow thistles and reap a bountiful har
vest of roses. We have proof that
Christianity is no delusion by the way
many Christians have talked when
dying. Stephen, Paul, McKinley,
Moody and many others. Christianity
producing such .glorious results cannot
be' a delusion. " -

Landslide at Willoughby.
A big landslide occurred at Willough
by lake during Thursday night, when
immense rocks starting from the

way down the mountain side and
plunged into the lake. One big boulder
estimated to weigh from ten to twenty
tons, landed in the road and in a
measure blocked the road for a time.
Nearly every spring there are slides on
this side of the lake and no little ex
pense is involved each season in road
repair caused by them.

BARTON 17, CRAFTSBURY 11.
In the first game of the season,
Barton academy defeated Craftsbury
academy at Craftsbury Saturday by
the score of 17 to 11. Because of the
wet field, and rainy, cold afternoon,
the game was loosely played onpaoth
sides, although now and then were
flashes of real baseballs Wallace
Abbott, pitching this first game for
the locals, handled the position well.
He struck out ten men and allowed
but seven hits. Craftsbury used three
pitchers in a vain attempt to keep our
boys from hitting the ball but when
the smoke of battle had cleared away,
our fellows had totaled 16 hits. Com
stock, W. Abbott and Emerson each
got three hits and Sears four. The
Barton infield is playing a good game,
but the outfield needs considerable
training in order to cover their terri
tory and play the game as they ought.
For Craftsbury Williams and L.
Heidger excelled. The trip to Crafts
bury was made in automobiles, which
encountered some very muddy roads.
A party of high school girls also
motored to Craftsbury to see the
game.

CAMP ABNAKI.
Byron Clark, state secretary of the
Y. M. C. A., gave an illustrated lec
ture on "Camp Abnaki" at the high
schooLThursday evening.
Camp Abnaki is the summer camp
which the state Y. M. C. A. maintains
and is situated on North Hero Island,
Lake Champlain. The pictures which
Mr. Clark showed began with the
entrance to the camp and illustrated
all phases of camp life. A day at the
camp is a busy one, beginning at 6.30
in the morning when everybody arises,
and lasting until 9.30 at night bed
time. All the sports and activities
that a normal boy enjoys, are indulged
in, such as swimming, boating, base-i
ball, tennis, track meets, hikes, fish
ing, etc. Parents and boys often find
the question of how to have the boys
spend the summer vacation is difficult
to solve. This camp answers the ques
tion in the best manner possible. For
the nominal cost of $5.00 per week,
which is really cheaper than it costs to
have a boy stay at home, a boy can
spend his vacation at a busy healthful
camp where he can enjoy endless
pleasures, in a safe, sane manner. The
purposes of the camp are threefold,
to develope the educational side, the'
moral side and the physical side of
every boy. We suggest that the par
ents of Barton, before deciding about
their sons' vacations, give Camp Ab
naki serious thought

INFLUENCE.
Just as soon as you begin to
think or do something you begin
to have influence. Influence Is
something you can't keep at
home. And when it gets away
from you you can never recall it
Your influence makes you
something of somebody else.
Influence, has no boundaries.
Once started, though it may
seem ever so trifling, sjet It may
have as its destination the far
thermost corners of the earth.
If you would get a conception
of power, realize the Influence
of a strong man. George Mat
thew Adams.
