The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1884-03-05
Waterbury,.

JAMES TwIGG has returned to Waterbury
and rented the Bakely house. Mr.. Twgg ex-
poets to commence work for c. G. Warren in
the spring
j. G. GRIGGs has been enlarging and improv-
ing his facilities for storing boots and shoes,
and his stock and store will be in good shape
for the spring trade.
THE storm and blow on Friday last was the
most severe this winter. All the hill roads in
Waterbury ard Stowe were almost impossible,
even the stage road to Morrisville was badly
blockaded, but Bert was through nearly on
time
MYRoN GRAVES, who sold his farm not long
ago and made a journey West, seems so we'll
satisfied with Vermont, that he has bought Of
G. f. Moody his farm near Colbyville and
about mile from the village The price paid
Is reported at 81 800. We are glad that Water
bury is not to make TO the West forced con-
tribution OF 80 coed citizen as Mr.. Graves
THE winter term of the village schools closes
this week. The schools have been somewhat
broken up by sickness, and rumors of sickness,
and their efficiency to some extent impaired.
Still we understand matters have gone on very
smoothly and 1t Is apparent that good work has
been done. The examinations should be well
attended so that all may know from personal
observation how faithfully both teachers and
| pupils have attended to their duties.
"ENLIsTED for the War" was well played by the
| schoo-chldren Friday night to good audience,
notwithstanding the roughness of the weather.
| The entertainment was a financial success.
| The following is the cast Gayle Clifford, Lot
| tie Carpenter; Mrs. Trueworth, Nina Bruce;
| Matte Trueworth, Eva Evans; Wilder ROwell
Dan c. Richardson; Robert Trueworth, Bert
F. Atherton; Hosea jerks, Edwin Boyce;
Hiram jerks, Frank Caldwell; Crimp, Fred
Caldwell; General Grant, Lester Wrisley; Col
onel Boxer, Charlie Rolfe Guard, Malie Wash
burn Many of the young people seemed en-
tirely at home before the footlights, and played
| with professional ease and smoothness. The
wish has been expressed to have the play re-
| peated, and we believe that repetition would
be as profitable as it certainly would be ac-
ceptsbe.

past seven o'clock, there will be public read
