The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1891-05-14
LONDONDERRY.

For those who desire novelty and
change this climate seems to be spicy
enough to satisfy the most exacting
taste. One day we shiver under furs
and heavy clothing, the next we find
the temperature 81 degrees and win
ter clothing is cast aside only to be
donned again the following day. The
marvel of it lies in the fact that there
are not more sick from these sudden
changes.
The Ladies Of Londonderry met at
Union Hall on Wednesday of last
week for the purpose of organizing a
Ladies' Aid Society-the funds to
be used for needed repairs on the
church. Officers for the society were
duly elected, those appointed being
Mrs. L. P. Sheldon, Pres. /; Mrs.
A. H. Stowell, Vice Pres. Mrs.
David Parker, Sec. /; Mrs. Annie
McWain, Treas. There were also
six directresses chosen, to superin-
tend the work of the meetings. The
work will consist Of fancy and useful
articles which will be made for fair,
given by the society sometime in Au-
gust. All ladies are cordially invited
to join the society at any of the regu-
lar meetings.
The cheese factory is fast assum-
ing the proportions of building, the
roof having been raised this week.
Even a cheese factory adds a little
glory to this populous town.
Miss Inez Wescott left home Mon
day morning for Newfane.
Will Walker, the blacksmith of
this place, has moved into the house
owned by Mrs. Taylor.
The play "Two Orphans" given
at Union Hall May LIST proved to be
quite success financially. The au-
dience was large one, the larger
proportion showing an appreciation
of the clubs efforts in their behalf.
In the gallery we were sorry to no
tice an element of discord which does
not belong, strictly, to the manners
of well bred people, and it was a
question in the minds of many,
whether these gentlemen" were not
some stray cowboys from the wilds
of Texas or inhabitants of the upper
galleries in dime museum.
Fishing seems to be the order OF
the day. Brook trout are little shy
as vet and are not tempted from theil
hiding places, in any great numbers.
The lake fish are more venturesome,
a catch Of forty pounds having been
taken the past week.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. Stowell eel
ebrated their fortieth anniversary by
inviting a few intimate friends tc
their home Monday evening.
Forty years of married life seems
a long time as one looks back upon
it, but for this happy couple the years
seem to have yielded harvest of per
petual youth. Mrs. Stowell is as
young and active as any person in
the village, taking hold of all public
benefits with a zest and interest which
the young folks might do well to en-
ulate. We trust there are many
happy years still in store for them.
