Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1890-09-15

Marvin Dingman, who leased the Crys
tai Lake House about wear ago, is
among those who are sojourning in Can
| ada. He hired the Crystal Lake House and
began the sale of rum. He was fined $50
about fair time and later was brought be-
fore Justice Barnard, who bound him up
on 80 offences. The grand jury of the
county has heard his case and bring in a
bill against him. Dingman was advised
to keep a good, clean, temperance house,
but he chose to do otherwise, and now
fears the House of Correction.
The Annual Reunion of the Orleans
County Veterans Association will be held

ening. Music by the Barton Landing
Military band. Special invitation to all

Per order En. Conn.,
The Barton Cornet Band at late meet
ing chose the following officers Pres,
Martin Drumming; vice Pres, A. S.Drew !;
Sec, II. B. Gordon; Treas, Thomas Mar
tin; Leader, j. w. Batchelder; assistant
leader, II. B. circuit. Two meetings
week will be used for practice for the
present. The band is in good playing or
der and has cash in the treasury. 1t is
credit to the village, and we hope our cit
liens appreciate the advantages of hav-
ing a good band. There is some little
complaint because the fair company hired
an outside band to play at the fair, but it
is presumed the choice was made on the
lowest bid for services.
We hope the people of this county
will make extra efforts to make the
county fair successful. More than here
tofore it is in their hands. A large num-
Der of influential citizens have guaran-
teed the premium money and premiums
will be paid. The fair will be excellent
in the line of horses without any doubt,
and it ought to be made so in every other
line. We notice that there will be con-
siderable stock, and other products from
without the county. Some of the exhib-
its of the state fair are to be brought
here. The New Process Evaporator Co.
"a new thing in the line of sap evap-
Grafton, fruit evaporation, jelly making,
ETC., which attracted much attention
among sugar makers and fruit growers,
is to be here. There will be a better
show of sugar apparatus, machinery,
ETC., than usual. Let's all take hold and
make the fair worthy the county.

Co. Is reunion was a most enjoyable
4 bo f,.,
which kept many away. A poem by Mr.
Marsh and an Grafton by James Hall were

best of all in the opinion of the boys was
the presence of their Capt, Robert Noyes
