The selectmen are putting a sub
stantial fence around the Brown park
and this will soon be opened. Some
of our people who have not visited
this place will do well to go up there
and see what a pleasant site 1t is. By
and by, when the Improvement Soci-
ETY. can get around, it will be put in
better order and will be what Mr..
Brown intended it should be-a pleas
ant and creditable thing to the town.
There are, of course, some dead men
in town, who have not yet been buried,
who object to expending any money
for a thing of this sort.

Mrs. Perry died on Saturday night
and her funeral will be held at the
residence of j. P. Baldwin tomorrow
! CTuesday) morning at 10 a. m. Mrs.
Perry has been aresident of this place
nearly all the time for over thirty
years and few persons had more warm
| friends than she. She was kind, neigh
borly, genial and thoroughly good.
She has suffered long and patiently
with an incurable ailment and her
death had been expected for several
weeks. She has been tenderly cared
for during the last of her life by sisters
and other friends. She survived her
husband, the late DIR. F. M. Perry, by a
little over seven years.
We mentioned last week the fact
that there had been some alarm in this
section in regard to the amount of
money invested by the Passumpsic
| Savings Bank in Western loans. We
! have since received a statement from
the bank which we will publish next
week. The statement makes a very
! excellent showing for the bank. While
| considerable money is loaned West,
much of it is in town, county and school
bonds which are accounted as good as
loans can be. A bank must invest in
something, and it would seem the Of
ficers of this bank had been wise in
placing their money out.
Saturday proved a rainy day and
interfered considerably with the ar
rangements made for Decoration Day.
Quite delegation from this village,
attended by the band, went to So. Bar
ton in the morning and assisted in the
ceremonies there. No procession was
formed and there were no ritual pro-
ceedings at the cemetery. The people
gathered in the hall in the afternoon
and the Post performed a brief me-
mortal service. The band and the
choir furnished excellent music, and
the audience including the G. A. r.
| Post, the Sons of Veterans, the citi
zens and children made up a large
number. Col. Powell of Richford was
present and gave one of the very best
Memorial addresses ever made in this
town. 1t was interesting in historical
frcts, appropriate to the day, felici-
tOus and eloquent. The Post and
whole audience were very much pleas
ed with it. The band, considering the
old leaders are gone, did itself much
credit.
