McINDOES FALLS.

On May % Mike Carrigan, a trim
mer in mill here, came very near los
ing his life, but escaped with fracture
of the leg. Complete recovery is ex-
pected.
At Mrs. McGraw's there are now two
cases of fractured limbs, one case of
tuberculosis and one of pneumonia.
The Connecticut River Lumber Co.,
are averaging to load ten cars day.
A prettier procession has not been
seen in McIndOes for long time than
was seen Decoration day. The Good
Templars in regalia, the school children
with their neat sashes and flags, the
relief corps with their insignia, and
last, but not least, the veterans as they
marched up the street on the way to
the cemetery, stopping to salute com
rade John S. Hight, who is confined to
his bed, calling wildly to mind a
scene quite different from this one
June morning some % or % years ago
when some of these same men left quiet
homes and pleasant recollectiOns for
the seat of war.
G. G. Chase has for the second time
got the splints removed from his arm

Teachers Meeting.

Teachers meeting was holden by
superintendent Dart assisted by Prof.
Campbell on Thursday. Most of the
schools closed and the teachers attend
ed. 1t was regretted that Prof. Will
son Nevens had returned 10 Maine.
The forenoon session consisted of BIZ
bic reading and prayer by Mr.. Dart
and discussion of grammar by sever
al teachers. The town superintendent,
w. L. Leonard, said he began the study
with an advanced book and did not
understand it until he took diagram
book in later years. Mrs. Ella Nc
Loud thought it great help for be-
ginners. Miss Nelson had often seen
where diagraming was carried to ex-
cess. Mr.. Dartt thought so too, as
other parts of the study became neg
lected sometimes, but that it was use
ful for illustrating like map drawing.
Warner Drenan agreed with Mr.. Dartt
Much prominence was given reading.
No one should teach who did not give
much attention to instruction in PEN
manship. Discipline came up in the
afternoon. Mr.. Bridgman recommend
ed active, vigorous discipline. j. H.
McLOud had found his strong right
arm effectual. Some teachers from
adjoining towns would gladly have
attended if the notice had been more
extended. Much credit is due the
town superintendent for thoughtful
ness and kindness. The lecture We'd
nesday evening was instructive and
well delivered.

Death of Gen. Stannard.

Gen. George j. Stannard, Vermont's
foremost soldier, died at Washington
June ], of pneumonia. Gen. Stannard
was born in Georgia, this state, Oct
20, 1920, making him 65 years old. He
was one of the earliest to volunteer
his services to the governor when Fort
Sumter was fired upon, and during the
entire war distinguished himself on
many a battle field. History records
him as Selling and holding most i'm
pOrtant point at the battle of Gettys-
burg, and with his brave and invinci-
BILE Vermont troops he perhaps did
more than any other one man to turn
the tide in favor of the Federal forces.
Gen. Stannard leaves a wife and three
daughters, his only son dying few
years since. He was wounded severe
ly several times, and lost his right arm
at Fort Harrison. He held the office
of dOorkeeper of the house of repre-
sentatives, and was in discharge of his
duties when stricken down with dis
ease. His family reside in Burlington
where his funeral will be attended Sat-
urday.

One of the practical advantages
growing out of the observance of Me-
mortal day is the disposition manifest
ed on every hand to ''fix up" For
one week in the year the grand
army is sort of mammoth village
and town improvement society.
Rev. Edward Fairbanks of the South
church preached deeply interesting
memorial sermon at McIndoes' Falls
last Sunday. Austin Goodell post, G.
A. r. was present in uniform. This
post is composed of veterans on both
sides of the river.
Benjamin Foster, who has just re-
turned from Gettysburg where he has
been putting up the soldiers monument
recently completed by the Lairds,
picked up an assortment of bullets, a
IL pound solid shot and variety of
fragments of grape, canister, ETC., and
brought it all home with him present.
ing the relics to Post Chamberlin.
The committee of arrangements hav-
ing in charge the various exercises of
Memorial week were E. L. Hovey,
George r. Crosby, w. w. Sprague, P.
D. Blodgett, Henry Barry, c. E. Put
ney, j. A. Paddock. They deserve
much credit for the manner in which
their work was done. Commander
Paddock is to be congratulated on the
success of the whole affair.
The new grand army grave marker,
intended to permanently mark the
graves of deceased soldiers, are very
tasty affairs. The design is an enlarg-
ed partial representation of the regu-
lation grand army badge, supported by
standards which hold it upright and
firm in the ground. The upper trefoil
is elongated into miniature canon
with conical bore for the reception of
varied sizes of tiagsticks.
A word is due the organizations that
appeared in the procession Monday,
though where all did so we'll it is diff
cult to discriminate. The sturdy
marching veteran, of course, was the
prominent and most interesting fea-
ture of the procession. Many of the
st. JOhnsbury guard are also members
of the grand army and their ranks
were not as full as usual, but they pre-
sented fine appearance and marched
we'll. The Moose River encampment
appeared in uniform and won many
compliments for the fine display they
made. This was specially gratifying
as fully one third of the number never
before appeared in public in regalia.
The st. John Baptiste society was out
in full numbers, fine looking body of
men, and was not excelled in march
ing, and as to the students, we'll they
are noble set of fellows and deserve
special mention not only for their ma
neuvering but for their gentlemanly
department..

Major Henderson, appeared with his
Horace Greeley drum and golden drum
sticks. Such vigorous drumming and
such laundering noise hasn't been
heard hereabouts since the ice went
out of the Passumpsic. The small
boys hour had come and the performer
was recalled and called again in re-
Spouse to their shouts and the applause
of the audience. The performer imi-
tated a train of cars going up the
"Petumpsicn road, and no end Of other
things that little imagination helped
to make real. In response to encores
he sang the song of the army bean, a
bit of gOOd-humored nonsense, and a
very poor piece of machine poetry
Harry May sang three numbers, the
last in response to an encore, in an ad
mirable manner, being accompanied
on the piano by Miss Howe.
Captain Blodgett, who was the mas
ter of ceremonies, then introduced
Major r. V. King who delivered a
somewhat extended and finished ad
dress that was well received by the
audience and would probably have
commanded still closer attention and
greater interest had the hour been
earlier, and then this unique and high
ly successful concert closed the days
exercises and the Memorial observance
of 1856.
