Resolved, by his brethren OF Green Mountain
Lodge No. SI4, X. II that in his death we have
met, with loss in the removal of q worthy, en-.
thuiastic and efficient member of our order whose

Adopted unanimously.
Our parks now present a most

ID by the trees standing in them.
Why cannot our parks, at least the east
tide one be made to remain as beauti-
hi by keeping its rank growth down
vitha lawn mower? The hay cut
rom 1t amounts to but little, and the
yillage could we'll afford to pay the
mall sum which keeping 1t moved
would cost. Anything done to in
,rease the beauty of our village Is
worth doing, and there is hardly an eye |
nut would be daily gratified at the |
light of well kept lawn in place of
growing hay or stubble. A speci-
men of the effect which might be pro-
luced may be seen in the beautiful
avn of G. S. Wainwright, which can
70 no more of qualification to its
'wner than it is to those who pass by
lis grounds. Householders ought to
,ay more attention to the grass surfa-
es in view from the streets, which can
70 made 80 beautiful at little or no ex-
'ense. 1t is little things like these,
.eeping trim and clean the grounds
bout the residences, which make q
'illage pleasing to the eye. Middle
Jury is favored by nature in its situa-
ion, and can be easily made the most
village in the state if only its
itizens would take the matter in hand.
The W. T. U. of Middlebury held
Is annual meeting in the vestry OF the
church, on the afternoon of
Wednesday last, May IS. The devo-
ional meeting opened with singing,
cripture reading and prayer. Mrs.
u. E. Hamlin presided. Mrs. Ladd,
he returned missionary, was present.
The Bible reading was well conducted
md charming to listen to. The bust
Tess meeting opened with Mrs. Z. A.
in the chair, who called for
he secretary's report of the last meet
ng and of the year. The treasurer's
eport followed, which was read item
~ item, and showed that the expendi-
IRE of the society had increased, but
hat the treasury was far from empty,
md still the society was far from bank |
'npt by any means. The address of
he president was so good that 1t was
lesired for publication. Then the
,hairmen of standing committees gave
review of the work in their particu-
ar line, all crowded full of interest to |
he listeners. Delegates TO the Addi-
ION county convention of the w. &. Il.
D., to be held in Vergennes, were elcc-
ed as follows: Mrs. Severance, Mrs. |
Button, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Mead and |
Mrs. Hamlin, with Mrs. Barrows as al |
ternate. Mrs. Alternately, correspond
ing secretary, read letter from Mrs.
E. p. Hooker. While the committee |

were called upon for remarks. All re-
sponded most happily. Officers were
elected by ballot. There are still some
vacancies TO be filed. After adjourn
ment and supper, preparations were
made for the sociable. In the evening
Ice cream was sold at ten cents a sau-
GER, cake free. A snug little sum was
realized. We hope that the boys who
30 freely turned out their ten cent pie |
ces to the temperance women will be |
as willing to support and assist when
they are men. That time will soon be
here. Our heads will not be much
greyer than they are now when their
strong, young shoulders will be bear
ing the bur ens of the race. They will
soon step into their inheritance. The
pulpits, the law offices, and the profess
will soon be theirs. In time
they will own the mills and the facto.
