News and citizen. [volume] (Morrisville, Vt. ;) 1881-current, 1886-07-15

Neighbor Strong our enterprising
merchant now boasts of a family OF
three, his pair of fine boys being
made happy by the advent of a bran
new sister. We extend congratula-
tons.
Some newspaper man, who has
been there says: Newspaper editing
is a very funny amusement. If you
give a man a puff, he never sees it I;
but let n line against him appear
and he sees it before the paper is off
the press and while he would not
say =" thank you," he has time to run
ali over town TO denounce the editor
who seeks to print the news. Twas
ever thus"
The creamery troubles are not all
confined to Hyde Park. We learn that
''there seems to be some dissenting
voices at the Westfeld creamery. Geo.
R. Hoyt is general selling agent for the
butter, and altogether has doubtless
made good prices for the patrons.
Nevertheless there is some dissatis-
faction, and last week a team took
the Lowell portion of butter 20 that
place and sold it to Henry Noyes, a
buyer" So says IN exchange.
Harvey Putnam, Esq. of Montezu-
ma, Iowa, and Mrs. Arvilla Miller, his
daughter, from Boone, Iowa, are visit
ing at Abel Putnam's. He is in his
seth year, but appears as Young as
many men Of 20. His brother Abel,
our respected townsman, is nearly 80,
but is very active and would be taken
for a man much younger than he is.
Mr.. Putnam has three brothers and
all Of them though far along in years,
are remarkably hale and hearty.
The Boston and Lowell stockholders
have voted to authorize the purchase
of the Lake Road, and the purchase
will probably be effected in the not
distant future. When the Boston
and Lowell took possession Of the
Lake Road it was with the option of
buying it in three years, the Boston
and Lowell in the meantime paying
the interest on the sun agreed upon
a. the purchase money and the OPP
ton therefore has yet nearly two
years to run. The probability is,
however, that the purchase will be
made before the expiration of the op-
ton.
