Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1882-03-20
Tho loot,,ro Of Rev. G. Fl. Sweat

of Barton Landing at the hall on
Thursday night was highly spoken of
by all. Mr.. Sweat has a pleasing
address, fine voice, and the happy
faculty of saying things well. The
net proceeds of Rev. A. NJ. Wheelers
donation was S116.30.
In our statements last week rela-
tive to town-meeting, town expenses,
etc., we stated that the expense this
year was enhanced by paying for old
lawsuits. This was an error, the
bills referred to came into the account
of 1881. The past year the expenses
in this direction were very light.
J. P. Ellis, well known in this Vi
entity, who has long been in the firm
of M. A. Lewis & Co., Boston, has
formed new copartnership under
the firm name of j. P. Ellis & Co.,
% Summer street, where they nave a
small ware and notion store. Mr..
Ellis extended acquaintance and
popularity ought to insure good
business.
The MONITOR subjects itself to
just criticism in running an adver-
tisement for a class of reading which
we do not read or commend. The
ad. came from an old agent, and got
into the paper when the editor was
not in condition to know what his
advertisements were. We intend to
watch this department of the paper
closely, but once in while get sold.
CARD.-The undersigned desire to ex-
press their heartfelt thanks to their par
ishioners and friends, for the encourage
ment and cheer given them by their pres
ence, and other unmiStakable evidences
Of kindness and good wishes at the dona-
ton on Thursday, the 10th inst. A dona-
ton of SIG in cash is a practical express
sion of good will and large liberality. A
thousand thanks and God bless you,
kind friends. A. NJ. WHEELER.

Our immaculate brethren of the
EgpreSs have discovered another typ
ographical error in the MONITOR which
they spread before their small circle
of readers, much to their amusement,
we hope. There ought to be some
thing in that somber and leaden Jour
nal, once in a while, to enliven it's col
umns, even if it is a brothers faults.
By the way, neighbors, have you for
! gotten that most unfortunate mistake
of yours, some time since, when you
undertook to quote the price of an
article in cents? If so, you can doubt
less remember the high compliment
/ you paid that steward, at the Mem
| phremagog house, last summer.
Wouldn't he be a pretty good judge
of that "soup"?
Nine good pieces of music are sent
