Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1884-04-07


issued in due season.
Our old friend A. A. Earle, who
has apparently been doing well In the
newspaper business at White River
Junction, is in his glory again, hav-
ing started up :: big quarrel with Roy
al Cummings, also well known in
this county. 1t seems that one of
Earle's hands had falling out with
the proprietor and thereupon started
up rival paper, hiring Cummings to
do the printing. This was enough
to call down the vengeance of the
editor on the poor job printer and
hence the scurrilous articles in the
Landmark. Earle is nothing except
in a fight and always "cleans" himself
out when he has one.
O. F. Badger having read the sto-
~ in the Monitor about the Danville

straw in my barn, and about that time

ing in the April following l heard some
small chickens peep In the barn and
made up my mind that they were I'M

ems all smart as crickets" Mr.. Bad
ger will please take his place at the
head.
