Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1886-06-28


in this village, on Saturday evening,
July Sd. Quite large sum of mon
ey has been raised, and the "pyro-
technics" are already purchased.
Much of it is called water fireworks.
and will show to great advantage on
the water. A band will he present
if the negotiations do not fail. The
exhibition will be a very pleasing
one.
We are panied to hear of the death
of Harrison Earle. brother of A. A.
Earle which occurred in Hartford,
Michigan, June 18th. Mr.. Earle
resided in this village some years,
working in the Standard office, and
himself and family are pleasantly re-
membered. He pursued his trade
some years and finally started up a
paper in Hartford, called the Day
Spring, which he made successful.
He was esteemed for his frank, man
ly qualities, and his community suf-
fers great loss by his death.
The MONITOR man is under renew
ed obligations to large number of
friends in his own town and various
parts of the county for kind words,
efficient service, land generous support
at the late county convention. When
an editor gets dragged into politics,
and modestly sticks up his head, he
is pretty sure to meet class Of po-
litical rivals and enemies who will
not belittle his faults or magnify his
virtues. We are glad to have afford
ed opportunity to few to do their
utmost in our behalf-over the left.
If we should happen to be placed IN
any position of honor, they will not
in any sense be responsible for our
failure. We like the exhilarating
breeze that lively enemies are able
to create, and have not word of
complaint or censure for any.
This thing came unsought, as those
most conversant with the matter well
know, and we entered the canvass
with great reluctance. Once IN we
had no longing desire to ''get left, "
and the friends came up nobly to the
rugged task of putting us on board
the political train.
