THE COUNTY AND ELsEwuERE.


POULTNEY.
Mr.. Horace Campbell of this place, who
was elected Worthy Chief Templar of the
Rutland County Good Templars Union,
last week, Is one of the veteran guard of
temperance, and the honor conferred upon
him is deserved recognition of his SER
vices in the cause For more than thirty
years he has been consistent and I'M
flinching advocate of temperance, even
amid the bittercst personal opposition. AS
an officer of the law, and an individual, he
has given attention TO the execution of the
prohibitory law without fear of consequent
ccs or favor to any man. 1t is an auspici-
Gus sign for the temperance cause. when
those who have fought its battles arc thus
honorcd.
The second and third chapters of the
Life of Horace Greeley, by Ingcrsoll are to
be devoted TO his residence in Poultney.
The foundry of Rugglcs & Co. are doing
large business. They have during the

Poultney has never observed Decoration
Day since the beautiful custom of strewing
flowers upon the graves of the gallant dead
was established We suppose one reason
is that we have no post of the Grand Army
of the Republic to take the lead. This
should he no longer assigned as reason,
when we see hundreds of other towns
where no Grand Army organization exists,
observing the day solemnly and appropri-
ately. Surely we have as energetic and
patriotic a people as other communities
and it but needs few to take the initiative
and our whole people would come out to
its observance. We have beautiful flowers
to strew and as noble soldiers lying in our
cemeteries as any people. No town sent
forth more gallant men-Capt Ruggles
and Darrah, Lieut.. Babcock, Privates
Lewis, Merlng, Stevens, Beals, Whalen
and others-and they surely are deserving
at the beautiful ceremonial of the annua
decoration of the graves within which
they sleep. We hope our people may We
arrange for Decoration Day. 1t needs bu
some of our citizens to take action for thu
arrangements. they are simple and require
but little time or expense.
