WRIGHT Henry S. Wright of this
place died at Brattleboro on Tuesday

Barnet, but for many years he had
been a resident of this village. More
than 30 years ago he was in the meat
business here with Lambert Hastings,
and afterwards with Leonard Penni-
man; but for some years past he had
been out of active business. Mr..
Wright was man of strict integrity,
correct business habits, very methodi-
cal and careful in all his work, and an
ardent temperance man. During the
great religious awakening of 1875 he
came out pronounced Christian, and
with over so others, ranging in age
from 20 to IL, yrs, unitedwith the North
COngre gational church Un confession
of faith. Mr.. Wright leaves wife,

THE w. G. It. U. STATE MEETING.

THE w. @. Il. U. STATE MEETING
much belated report of the state
w. c. t. U. meeting from the state SUI
perintendent of press work, Mrs. M.
p. Moore, reaches us too late for news
but room is found for some items of
interest. At the close of DIR. Bradford's
remarks he exhibited badge bearing
the words, "Preside in love-" which
the president of the convention wore
during the meetings, and which was
the keynote of the convention. Mrs.
Elmer, superintendent of the lecture
department, reported that lectures to
to the amount of $500 had been en-
gagged which included such names as
Mrs. LivermOre, Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. Fos-
ter, Mrs. Barney and Mrs. Lathrop.
Mrs. Perkins time might have been
filed in solidly from January until
September could she have given it.
Among those who addressed the
convention were Mrs. Housh, Mrs.
Perkins, and Mrs. Hunt. The election
of officers was announced last week.
Says Mrs. Moore: "When Mrs. Per-
kins' election was made unanimous
(save by one vOte) and so declared,
the enthusiasm of the delegates was
unbounded. AS by one impulse they
rose to their feet and with waving of
handkerchiefs, floral offerings and re-
peated applause, manifested their de-
light at the reelection of their below
ed and honOred president of whom our
gifted secretary, Mrs. Housh, justly
said, 'she has won all hearts, she did
preside in love beautifully and impair
tally" Delegates to the national
convention were elected as follows:
Miss Nina Morgan, Bennington Mrs.
Clinton, Middlebury Mrs. d. L. Full
er, Montpelier; Mrs. Adna Brown,
Springfield; alternates, Miss Anna c.
Park, Bennington Mrs. B. H. Day,
Underhill; Mrs. S. M. Damon, Wood
stock Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden, Lyndon.
Delegate at large, Mrs. E. B. Lund,
Burlington. Alternate, Mrs. w. p.
Smith, st. Johnsbury. The next an
nual meeting of the union will be held
at Woodstock.

DOdging Duties.


While O.. F. Russell of East st.
JOhnsbury was quietly working in a
field last week with mare which he
recently bought of Summerville man,
stranger appeared and asked first the
value of the mare, then if she was
bought for breeding purposes and
finally said he guessed he would take
charge of her as she had been Struggled
in over the line. AS Mr.. Russell soon
satisfied the officer that he had honest
ly bought the horse, the seller was
next visited and gladly forked over
$25 to avoid further trouble. The Of
ficer had long list of names of those
in this section who had bought snug
gled horses, most, perhaps all of them,
having been deceived by the sellers.
These horses were got across the line
on the pretense that they were to be
used for breeding purposes but were
sold to farmers for work horses.

A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.

There were two or three accidents
more or less serious on the closing days
of the fair. John Shay of West Con-
cord with his wife and child were seat
ed in team on the the green, inside
the track when the horse ran, jumped
over and broke the rail about the track,
tipped over the team and the horse fell
on Mr.. Shay injuring him somewhat
but not seriously. The child was also
injured but not killed as was reported.
Nelson Congo of Miles Pond while
driving about the fair grounds in a
wagon ran into one of Hartshorn &
out and it was feared badly injured
and Congo was injured about the head.
The accident was due to Gonyo's care
lessness.
While Frank Joslyn was returning
from the fair, passing over the dry
bridge at the railroad crossing, the cars
frightened his horse which jumped
over the rail, damaging the carriage
and harness but hurting no one. 1t
was narrow escape.
Mrs. G. j. Humphrey, while eating
dinner at the Universalist eating house
Friday, partly swallowed a chicken
bone that would neither come up nor
go down. Physicians were summoned
and she was finally relieved, but not
before all in that vicinity were
thoroughly frightened.
Mrs. Luther Brown of Coventry left
her team by the roadside near Fair
banks village Friday and with others
began climbing the hill to see the
races. While trying to get over the
fence she fell and broke her right arm
just above the wrist. She is now do
ing well.
w. T. Hincks, academy student from
Bridgeport, Conn, while trying to get
on to Estabrook's express wagon near
N. M. Johnson's on Railroad street
Friday was thrown to the ground and
was run over by John McCutcheon
team which was following after. One
thill struck the young man in the back,
tearing his coat and waistcoat to rags
and knocking him down, both horse
and wagon then passing over him.
Hincks was apparently walked over by
the horse and run over by the wagon
and was knocked senselcss but came
out of it all right the next morning
without having sustained severe in
inrieS.
