Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1885-09-28

will be held on Saturday evening at
the new post-ofiice to consider the
matter.
The veteran soldiers of Orleans
county are agitating the project of a
grand reunion of all ex-soldiers of the
county at some convenient point next
summer. AS there will be good
representation of the county veterans
at the fair this week, it is proposed
that all interested in the plan meet
in the rear of the judges stand on
the ground, Wednesday, at about
80 p. M, and talk the matter over.
Reunions in other counties have been
held this summer with success, the
one in Windsor county being attend
ed by 5000 persons.
Somebody started a smallpox
story to hoax an ignoramous at one Of
the shops and it proved considerable
of joke. There has been no small
pox here, and we hear of none near
er than Montreal. Don't get scared
to death, and be careful if you hear
any rumors about the disease not to
report them as facts, adding largely
to them at that. People are given
to lying in times of excitement es-
pecially. Keep in mind the story of
the petrified Frenchman up at Acton,
and the reports about the Arabs who
fed their bears on babies.
From hot, sultry day on Tuesday
and a rain storm Tuesday night,
there came on violent snow storm
which lasted nearly all day. Snow
lay on the highlands at least six in
ches in depth, and trees and bushes
were bent to the ground with the
weight of snow. The weather was
no colder than it had been previously
but the look was like mid winter.
We hear there is consi dearble I'M
harvested grain, here and there, and
that great deal of corn is standing
yet. The coolest inhabitant" has
been consulted and does not remem-
Der such snow storm in September.
The 10th animal meeting of the
n. E. Branch of the Woman's For
eign Missionary Society will be held
in Burlington, VT, Oct. and 8.
This is the first time the meeting has
come into this state, and it is hoped
this part of the state will make an
effort to enjoy the occasion; very
attractive program invites your at
tendance. Each local organization
is entitled to a delegate. Any ladies
attending will be heartily welcomed;
return checks furnished. For enter
tainment address, Miss Mary Walk
er, No. 347, South Union Street,
Burlington, vt.
Hon. Geo. M. Dewey of Michigan,
who lectured here On Tuesday night
under the auspices of the Templars,
gave a very interesting and useful
address. He dwelt largely on indi-
vidual responsibility; the education
of the youth and building up of
public sentiment. He favored total
abstinence and the humiliation of
alcohol. He believes in prohibition
when sentiment is up to it, license
and restriction when these are most
efficient. Mr.. Dewey is a pleasant,
forcible and convincing speaker. He
has long been Good Templar and
considers it one of the most stable
and useful temperance organizations
ever started in the temperance work.
FAIR NOTES. THE weather this
morning is most promising, and ev-
is getting ready for the fair.
The Fair Ground Co. propose that
the best of order shall be maintained
on the grounds, and that drunken
ness, liquor selling and gambling
shall be squelched and the offenders
punished at once.
A very large number of horses are
entered for the races-probably the
largest field for years. The Uttons,
the St. ,JohDsbury horses, the Cana
dians, and the sharp steppers in Or
leans county are all to be here.
The West Burke Ladies' Aid So
ciety will run the victualling house,
and that is good guarantee that it
will be well done.
Premiums for Hereford stock were
accidentally omitted.

ty who want to show their skill on

lay and Wednesday to show Hand
Fire Extinguisher. A large fire will
De built and he will show how easy
t is to extinguish it by hand gre
nades. 1t will be an interesting ex-
We again urge upon the people the
and advantage of taking
everything of worth TO the fair. Let
is have one that is worthy of the
county.
