Rev. O. D. Clapp's lecture at the

The presentation of the nautical
drama Messmates' by the Dramat-
ic club on Wednesday and Thursday
evenings last week was a successful
affair, both in finance and point of
enjoyment. The characters were well
taken in the most part. The play
was prepared quite hurriedly, which
will account for the rather awkward
pauses and promptings which Oc-
Cured occasionally both nights. The
house was crowded the first night,
hut not largely attended the second
From the remarks that are made,
and the mistaken idea seemingly held
by a recent lecturer here, it seems
proper for us to say that of the $4,000
worth of liquor sold by our town
agent last year, over 40 per cent, or
or nearly One-half, was to people
residing out of this town; and
this selling to non-residents was not
without the approval of the county
commissioners. Morrisvilleis becOm-
| ING quite a center for trade, and peo-
pie buy their liquor where they do
| their business. So the statement
that Morristown has had a supply
equal to over two dollars worth for
every man, woman and child is erro-
neOus.
1t was with some fear and trembling
that ten of our young men made ar
rangements with the Montpelier Mill
tary Band Orchestra a few weeks
since to come here and give concert,
guaranteeing them a certain amount
and their expenses, but the crowded
house which greeted the Orchestra's
appearance here on Friday evening is
proof that our community and the
citizens of towns in the vicinity know
a good thing when they see it-or in
this case when they hear it. The or
chestra was in first-class play, with
ten members upon the platform, ac-
cOmpanied also by Mr.. Bancroft, the
favorite tenor. The program from
first to last was a taking one, and
furnished a musical treat not often
enjoyed As will be seen by the pro-
gram given below, local talent had
part, and where all, both of orches-
ira and local talent, have done so
successfully their part, we will not
attempt to particularize The gross
receipts amounted to $50, a sum
more than sufficient to meet all obli-
cations, and the boys are naturally
well pleased with the results.
