tees of Salem Station.

Tho trustees of Salem station, Nj. e.
Church Soulful held their annual meet
ing in tho pastors study Tuesday night.
The president reported the property in

ditures: Sixty dollars for wiring the
church with electric lights, IS repairs to
furnace, $50 for furniture in the pulpit.
$50 for furniture in the parsonage and
S6.42 on the fence between the church

Will Henning. son of the deputy shcr-

Alta meeting of the Salem Musical
Association Tuesday night, at the
Female Seminary, about twenty five
members were in attendance, notwith-
standing the inclemency Of the weather.
The committee reported constitution
and bylaws, which were adopted. Mrs
Paul Davis was appointed pianist, with
Miss Florence Baird as assistant, after
which pleasant hour was spent in
practicing different selections. Great
enthusiasm was manifested, and it is
certain that for timo it will be quite
the proper thing to belong to the asso
citation, which, when fine fine weather
sets in, will probably have sixty mem
bers. The next meeting will be held
at the seminary Tuesday at s p. III.
The success OF the Salem Electric
Light Company exceeds the greatest
expectation, of the most sanguine of its
officers. The fifty arc lights furnished

brilliance, giving general satisfaction.
In the stores, lodges and churches about
300 incandescent lights are now burn

Deadly A-tisiery.

The new German artillery which will
shortly be introduced is said to be the
most terrible war instrument ever pro-
duced. Experiments made at the Inter
bogk ranges deeply impressed the ex-
perts, the kaiser being present. The
first shot, fred at target placed fifty
PAGES from wood, missed the target
but plowed its way through the wood
for fifteen hundred feet. The splinters
of n she'll burst by the new powder

feet. A shell fired ut an enormous tar

Rich FOREIGNERS.

Berlin's richest citizen has an annual
income of S750,00O. But two persons
in Prussia paying an income tax are
richer. A man (said to be Rothschild)
in Weisbaden is taxed on an income of
Sl,o0o,OoO, and another (said to be
krupp) in Dusseldorf is taxed on 81 $780,
900. Krupp stands at the top in the
l2Sth class of income taxpayers. The
income tax rolls for 1892 show that in
Berlin in the last year the number of
"thaler (75 ccnts) millionaires" has in
creased from 1913 to 223, and that of
''marl (25 cents) millionuircs" from
LOSS to l,1G7 Prussia has but 565 sub
jects whose annual incomes arc more
than $50, 900 each.

The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1892-08-19

One of the pleasantest occasions of
the season was the fair at Village Hall,
Wednesday evening, given by the la
dies of the Congregational Society.
The articles of needle work pictures,
ETC., for sale upon the tables in the
hall were most of them the handiwork
of ladies connected with the society,
and were of the best quality of mate
rial and workmanship. They sold
very rapidly at private sale during the
day ana the balance was sold at auction
in the evening. Ice cream and cake,
nuts, candies, lemonade, flowers, but
ton-hole bouquets, etc., were also on
sale. But the great attraction of the
occasion to people outside was the
program upon the stage in the eve
ming, The managers were fortunate
in being able to bring together to take
part In the entertainment, ladies and
gentlemen who are artists in their sew
eral lines. Miss Alice Brock of Wells
River opened and closed the program,
with some delightful songs. She
charmed her hearers. The piano was
made to give out some of its sweetest
tones under the skillfol fingers of Mrs.
Sadie |. Kershaw of Lawrence, Mass,
sister of Mrs. Colourn, principal man
ager of the fair. Miss Clark of Buffa-
10, who is visiting her friends, DR..
Jones' family, recited selection from
Shakespeare, in way that gave her
auditors keen appreciation of the hui
morous scene. Miss Gertrude Jones
played with such skill upon the piano
as to draw from one of the best musical
critics in the audience, basket of
flowers. Miss Maude Clarke sang
beautifully and was loudly applauded.
Miss Minnie Marshall of Boston, well
known here, as Bradford is her birth
place, recited some humorous selections
in manner that completely carried
away the audience. She was twice en-
cored. Mr.. Walter C. Low of Brook
Ign, N. Y, surprised his friends
by his excellent singing. His rich bass
voice charmed all within the hall. The
artists were all enthusiastically APP
plauded and encored at least once each.
The hall was beautifully and tastefully
decorated, the audience of about three
hundred was the best our town can
furnish for such an occasion and every
thing was very satisfactory, especially
the receipts in money which exceeded
$780, The expense will probably fall
short of 1926. Too much credit cannot
be given Mrs. Colburn and the corps
of ladies who assisted her, for this
very pleasing and successful enter
tainment. The management express
their thanks to all who took part in
the entertainment, including especially
the Bradford Cornet Band, which
played excellently and whose fine APP
pearance was greatly improved by the
very handsome uniforms in which
they appeared for the first time. They
deserve encouragement by our COM
for the time and expense they
are putting into their work.
