The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, July 5, 1889 North Shrewsbury 7/5/1889 At the late village school meeting, George WORKS was elected committee; Willard GUILD, clerk and treasurer; William ALDRICH, moderator; D. H. COOK, collector. Seven months school was voted. We are pleased to note that the school teachers, as far as we have heard, in the four districts nearus, have given good satisfaction; viz., Anna NOYES, Mrs. WALKER, Kate WATERMAN, and Delia BARBER. Lyman COLBURN has returned from Boston, where he has been engaged on the street cars for some time past. Miss Lousie JOHNSON of Mechanicsville is on a visit to her sister, Mrs. Wilson ALDRICH. H. C. GLEASON, who runs the largest cheese-factory in town, has two more patrons over last year. He is making 13 1/2 cheese per day; and as he has a first-class cheese-maker, the quality is excellent. Well Shrewsbury is noted for its good cheese. Elton BURDITT is circulating a petition asking the government to establish a post-office at Burdettsville, or what is known as Shippy Hollow. It is being signed quite generally. It would be a great convenience to the people in the north-west part of the town. Luther LORD has this pleasant reflection, at least, on looking back on his 8 years service as mail-carrier; that he has been faithful and that the people appreciate it. George WORKS succeeds Mr. LORD as mail carrier. He has bought a new stage, and seems desirous to have things comfortable for passengers. Your correspondent was pleased to note the improvements that have been made, recently, in the neat little village of Shrewsbury. First, the church has been re-painted on the outside, and now with the beautiful grove of maples in front it presents a very inviting appearance. Secondly, the school-house has been re-shingled, and H. C. GLEASON, who owns nearly half the village, is improving his horse barn by raising the roof and slating it.
