The campmeetng closed yesterday af-
ter most successful week. The attend
ance was large throughout, the interest
good, and everything was quiet and or
derby. Sunday was the great day of the
spiritual feast. The weather was all
that could be desired and the attendance
was immense, nearly four thousand peO-
Pile being present. In the morning Rev.
G. M. Curl of ST. Johnsbury preached an
impressive and powerful sermon-one of
the very best ever preached at this camp
meeting; and Rev. Mr.. McKensie of New
York and Rev. Mr.. McAnn officiated in
the afternoon and evening, respectively,
with great acceptance. Not the slight
est disturbance was reported throughout
the week. Officer Joseph A. Noyes wore
the badge of authority but there seemed
|
use. Mr.. Noyes for a number of years
has been chief police of the grounds and
has proved himself to be the right man
in the right place.-RepubIicGn
The failure of Ira w. Cunningham the
past week for sum variously estimated
at $75, 900 to 800, 900 fell suddenly upon
the community and involves his brother
John T., and w. A. Densmore who had
signed his notes to the amount of $4,000.
The failure was caused by suits brought
by Canadian banks against Ira Cunning
ham and Mr. Densmore. His assets are
only few mortgages and the creditors
will get a very small share of their due
from the property. His fathers estate of
some 900 is already swallowed up by
notes which he endorsed for his son and
which can hardly be reckoned as assets.
Mr.. Cunningham has tried to carry more
business than one man could tend to and
has never given his personal attention to
the details of the work. As grain deal
er he has involved A. III. Mcleod & Co.
and Griswod & Pearl, both of st. Johns
bury. Mr.. Mcleod has claim of several
hundred dollars and Griswold & Pearls
claim is between $4,000 and $4,000, about
one-half of which is secured. Mr.. Gun
ningham had partner in the wood, lum-
Der and farming business in Ayers Flats,
Canada, who is believed to have long
pocket. This is a splendid property but
is already mortgaged for $4,000 or all
= hat &c
ningham and G. P. Chase started the Cal
edonia Box company here with a capital
of $4,000 where at least 5000 was need
ed. The factory has been run at loss
the hands have not been paid since June
and it is doubtful if this will pay its cred
itors more than 5 cents on a dollar
About year ago Mr.. Cunningham was
D admitted into the wholesale boot ant
j. shoe firm of j. P. Foster & Co., Boston
to bolster their credit. Besides all these
= irons in the fire he has been part owner
!, with ID. M. Silsby in two farms here. He
has been in the habit of borrowing large
amounts from the banks in the last few
, years and his creditors are largely con
:, tractors and banks in Canada. Ever!
bank in Caledonia county except the Dan
vile bank has had dealings with Mr.
Cunningham but the Lyndonville nationa
bank and the st. Johnsbury banks will
lose little or nothing as they claim to b.

and Lyndon savings bank may not far

are stuck for ST., 900 apiece. 1t is fortu
