The following resolutions were adopted
by Brandon Grange No. al on the death of
Sister Mrs. Horace +. Barnes, which oc-
CURED on the 18th INST.
RESOLVED, That In tho removal OF another OF
our members by death we recognize the hand
Of our Heavenly Father, ''who doth not aiilct
willingly nor greve the children OF men," and
knowing that ale dOeth all things WELL" we
bow submissiyely, feeling assured that what is
our loss Is her eternal gain.
RESOLVED. That In her death We recognize the
loss OF one who was in many respects model
Patron OF Husbandry, for she was not only an
admirable housekeeper and great worker,
but was also well posted In all the practical de-
tails and many OF the scientific principles OF
agriculture. Very few women, or indeed even
men, had a clearer insght into what Is neces-
sary TO make farming a success, or more per-
slstent VIII to carry their knowledge into prac-
teal effect Although she was latterly de-
prlyed by sickness OF the privilege OF meeting
with us. yet her interest continued undated
and constantly had at heart the prosperity Of
the Grange.
Resolved, That these resolutions be entered on
the records OF the Grange, and copy be fur
nished the Brandon Union and Rutland GLOBE
for publication.

Fourth Of July.

Editor Rutland Gl0je :-Ao the great
centennial is upon rs, and as everybody
cannot go to Philadelphia on the Fourth of
July, are we not to have, and shall We not
have a celebration in Rutland worthy OF
the occasion Shall Rutland-a town
whose early history runs parallel with the
revolutionary strugg le-neglsct to show
her patriotism and appreciation Of the great
event soon to burst upon us, "the one
hundredth birthday Of American iDdepend-
ence ~
Is it not high time for The people Of Rut-
land to awake to this subject, and COM
mence the work of preparation The time
is short let us have all old fashioned Gel.
ebration, OF one worthy of the occasion,
and let us smell gunpowder on that day !.
Putting TO shame the folse prophets, hurl-
ing back into their teeth the epithet of
the demagogues who have prophosled that
republic could not live a hundred years;
and ae this Is the frat one, have we not a
right to rejoice. and do we not owe it to
the memories of the revolutionary heroes
TO celebrate this day?
| would that not only the old bell at
Philadelphia, whose tongue first pro-
claimed "liberty throughout all the land
unto al TIE inhabitants thereof" should
open her month, but that every bell in the
United States should strike the joyous note
at sunrise on the morning Of the coming
Fourth of July, and would also like to
hear the thunder Of "a FOUNDER from
every mountain peak throughout this land.
Let US have celebration in Rutland.

does the fault le2 1t lies at the door OF
the individual votcr-no where else. The
responsibility for this condition of things
rests upon all good citizens who stay away
from our village elections and allow them
to be captured by men who have no inter-
esis to serve only their personal ambition,
or to assist some personal friend or ward
politician to the office Of highway commits
sioner.
Let us turn out to man to-day, and
remedy these evils. 1t ls in our power to
do so. Let us elect our business men to
business ofllces--men of tried experience,
who have the ability aud nerve to strike
at the root of our village affairs and finan-
cial troubles.
when such men as George A. Merrill,
j. NJ. Haven, John B. Page, James II.

John w. Cramton, N. L. Davis, George X.

The Village Election.

The village election which takes place
to-day promises to be the most spirited oil
any municipal contest for several years.
In nearly ali the wards there is a warm con-
test, and the local politicians are busy
presenting the claims and laying pipe to sc.
cure the election of their favorite. What
the result will be it is impossible to predict.
The candidates are numerous, some self.
constituted and others presented by theil
friends.
We learn of no contest over moderator,
and presume Hon. NJ. G.. Everts will bC
elected. George X. Bottum will be re-
elected clerk without opposition, as well
also Collector George Willis.
The canvas for water commissioner has
been quite vigorous. The names men
toned are N. L. DAVIS, Joseph NJ. Dayis,
Thomas Ross, John Q. Ryan and J. b.
Kilburn.
The contest for trustees is confined to
the limits Of the several wards.
In the first ward, William B. Thrall,
Col. George A. Merrill, J. NJ. Haven and
George Il. Cheney are mentioned.
In the second ward the candidates are
John B. Page. Dennis Kingsley, Il. p.
Spaulding, j. II. Goulding
Third ward, James 81. Putnam, j. d.
Hanrshan, II. C. Tuttle.
Fourth ward, N. It. Page We have
heard no other name mentioned.
Fifth ward, John W. Cramton, the pres.
ent Incumbent, and Charles L. Stimson.
Sixth ward, George r. B9tt0m, d. Z.
Nicholson, Rufus Frost, Shubel Tyler,
and E. F. Sadler.
Seventh ward, James Levins, D. G,
Pierce, John p. Collins and Z. L. Foster.
For municipal judge-Hon. Jacob Ed
gerton, the present judge Henry Hall,
esq; George E. Lawrance, esq. P. II.
Kendall, esq.
1t is said there will be considerable con-
troversy for chief engineer aud assistants,
but we fail to hear any objections to oui
present efficient chief engineer, Walter C.
Landon, who will undoubted be elected
without opposition.
The contests bid fair to be sharp in the
first, second and seventh wards.
We quite agree with correspondent or
village affairs that the time has fully come
when Rutland should select her very beat
business men for the position of trusteef
and some most excellent names have beer
suggested in nearly all the wards. What
ever may be the result OF the days strife
we hope the very best men be selected tol
the various offices, for if there was ever {
period in our history when the best mel
were demanded at the front it is the pres
emit, and the warning voice of heavy taxa
ton and burdensome debt should be heart
and needed.

[From the Kendall County, Illinois, Record
Death of Mrs. McCloud.

1t is a painful task to chronicle the death
of anyone, but doubly 80, when called up
on to record the death of an old and ts-
teemed friend. Mrs. Lucy Ann McCloud
departed this life March 25lh, 1875, aged
05 years, 8 months and 10 days.
Although the dread moment had been
looked for, for several days past. II was
none the less severe to the family, and
large circle of friends when II did come.
All her children we're with her at the last
moment except Mrs. William Smith, Of
Kankakee county, who had been with her
but short time before. but had returned
home thinking abe was better. 1t will be
shock to poor Belle when she hears OF her
mothers death Deceased was woman OF
marked energy and will, working her way
from poverty up to competence which she
now has left. Devoted wife, a loving
mother, and kind friend. She
will be missed who can tell how
much, from that family circle. Not
withstanding the almost impossible
condition of the roads, there was very
large turnout of relatives and friends to pay
last tribute to the departed one. The
funeral services were conducted at the
Plattville church by the Rev. Mr.. Bibbins,
who preached very feeling sermon. and
spoke words of comfort to the mourners
aud the congregation generally. MIR. aud
Mrs. McCloud are natives of Rutland, Yer
mont, where they were married in 1886
two years later they emigrated to Illinois,
and settled on the farm they now occupy
at her death 40 years they have travelled
hand 10 hand together, but now the link Is
broken. She was buried March 9th, 1876,
in the Plattvlle cemetery. The funeral
was largely attended by the early pioneers
of this section of the country; among those
we noticed were Daniel Plat, John Litsey
and wife, II. Ricketson, G.. w. Edmonds
and wife, John Boyer, the Affords, and
many others, all old friends and neighbors
of forty years standing,
The above account is in error in one par
ticular. Mrs. McCloud, whose maiden
name was Rowe, was native of Windsor
instead of Rutland. At the time of the
marriage of the late Governor Williams,
however, Mrs. McCloud, then only six
years old, came to Rutland, and remained
with and in the employ of his family from
that time until her marriage in 1886 and
in Rutland until her removal to Illinois in
1929
