The village schools commence August
%, with full board of teachers as fol-
lows Prof. Taylor in the academic de-
partment; Mrs. w. H. Taylor in the
grammar grade; Miss Emma Whitcomb
in the primary and Miss Mary Ward mu-
sic teacher.
More or less of the boys have been i'm
CaIlng the. quarry-men and have done |
considerable drilling: among them Har.
ry Drenan, who had been Cautioned
against using powder, but since Mr..
Cobb has been at work blowing out the |
ledge on his lot, he with one or two asso- |
GATES thought they would try it. So |
they got some powder and for fuse used
twisted rag dipped in kerosene. Har-
ry Ilghted 1t, but it was too quick for
him and his face was badly burned, but
his eyes, fortunately, were not seriously
injured. The lesson, though severe, will
be good one.
A petition has been circulated and pu
merously signed for town meeting TO
see what action the town will take in re-
gard to means of increasing the granite
business here, and by so doing call in
men who will build houses and increase
the grand list. We think our people will
see an increase next spring. Titus dwell
ing house, Aiken's and Shattuck's stores
and Cobb's new building must add from
four TO seven thousand dollars to the tax
able property of the town, and so make
every ones tax little less in every part
of the town. We hope the town will see
fit to do something to encourage some
company to locate their finishing sheds
here.
The Republican rally and flag raising
was success. The officers of the Re-
publican club appeared promptly at p.
NJ, and followed by the Hardwick band
marched to the poles that had been cree
ted between the Dawson and kittridge
blocks, when the 1910 veterans raised
large flag to the breeze amid rousing
cheers for Harrison and Morton. The
young Republicans, not to be outdone,
had prepared smaller, but new flag,
bearing the same names, and that was
soon thrown to the breeze near the AIKEN
block. The procession then formed ana
to the Town Hall, where the
speaking was to take place, and in few
the hall was well filled. The
1910 veterans and older men were invited
% seats on the 2faSform. Prayer was of
cred by Rev. G. L. Wells, followed by
| selection from the band. The Presi-
lent then introduced Prof. Taylor as the
irst speaker, who spoke briefly to the
young men. He was followed by Hon.
Henry G. Bates, Esq, of st. Johnsbury,
n torcible and convincing speech. He
was followed by Col. Geo. Fl. Blake, of
'he Barton Monitor, in his usual happy
style, that made everybody feel glad that
they had heard him. After vote of
thanks to the speakers and band the meet
ing adjourned to, what we hope by the
heip OF the State committee, larger
rally later in the month, when speakers
from oGher sections of the State are ex-
pected, and the executive committee of
'he club are in hopes to secure the pres
ence OF the next Governor, Hon. William
L: Dillingham;. The business manager
OF the st. Johnsbury Republican attend
ed our rally and took notes. The club
LOOK rooms over the store of 1. P. Titus
TOT headquarters, where everybody is in
Vlted to come in and spend an evening
and read the papers on file. The young
