THE VERMONT PHOENIX AND RECORD AND FARMER Friday, December 4, 1885 West Townshend Cider-mill closed for the season, after an unusually large run. A literary society has been organized, which meets at different places and is quite interesting. Several couples attended the exhibition at Jamaica on Thanksgiving evening, and pronounce it first class. A committee has been appointed to see about having a Christmas tree, and as they are of the go-ahead sort, we expect they will decide to have one. School opened Monday with 40 scholars and Miss Emma HOUGHTON of Brattleboro as teacher. The hens and turkeys about here are allmad because Sid GARFIELD doesn't own them, since he has built that nice house for his--and we don't blame them. The new store on the corner is doing quite a flourishing business. S. E. WILLIAMS, our new postmaster, has greatly improved the driveway around his house. -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT
