a it's because of the town having $50

plot in the rear of town hall.

The Lamoille Valley Medical Asso
t citation holds its regular monthly
} meeting here Thursday of this week
Papers will be read by Drs Bushnell
, Genge and Melville. At this meeting
also occurs the annual election o.
officers. While these meetings are
not public, we believe our readers will
be pleased to learn that this organi
cation is for the benefit ofthe medical
fraternity and is resulting in good to
the physicians of the association and
thereby benefits the public.
If you don't believe that Doty has
the largest and most complete stock
of furniture and household goods OF
nearly every description, just call in
and look over his large establishment.
He has one of the largest furniture
houses in northern Vermont and his
stock is made up ofthe best of goods,
as we'll as cheaper grades. He has
recently put on another addition
which gives him more and better
room to display his goods. While
he has a large trade in Morrisville,
there is scarcely a day that he does
not ship installments to other towns
in this and neighboring counties.
Parties about to setup housekeeping
or those who intend to furnish their
homes will do well to call on him.
We looked into Fosters Marble
Works one day last week and found
''Ed" as busy as ever. Hehas now a
| larger trade than ever before and is
compelled to call in extra help in or
der to keep his orders closed up. He
has several fine Jobs under way at
present, among them being monu-
ments for the following parties DR..
f. NJ. Nichols, Francis Wilder, A. A.
Earle; also one for Norman Adams of
Eden, and one for Timothy DEMO of
Bakersfield. These monuments are
of handsome pattern and we doubt
not they are sold just as cheap as can
be had of any travelling man. Mr..
Foster always guarantees his work
to be satisfactory and no one is OBJ
liged to accept what they have not
purchased.
The question concerning the closing
of the barber shops on Sunday is not
yet solved 1t is the evident desire of
a large majority of our citizens that
such work, like other business, be
confined to the six working days
The States attorney was in town on
Saturday, and visited Mr.. Peters
shop, requesting him to discontinue
opening his place of business on Sun
day. This Mr.. Peters failed to do,
however, and on Sunday, as one week
ago, he conducted business behind
drawn curtains. The point of law in
the case simply comes to the question
sis this a necessary eyil?" to which,
it seems, every fair-minded resident
of a small country town like this will
answer. no. The claim made by some
that the proprietors of the other
shops want to crowd Mr.. Peters, be-
cause he would not agree with them
on scale of prices, is entirely with
out foundation.
Remember the opening concert of
the lecture course by the Boston Ri
walls at town hall this Wednesday, |
evening. The violin, Nero" to be |
used at this concert by Mr.. NOVEL;, !
was formerly owned by the Gar of
Russia and is valued at $4,000. B.
ii. Sanborn, who is well known in
Morrisville, writes US as follows, in
regard to the singing of Miss White:
| see from the CITIZEN that Miss Priscilla
White is to sing for you next week, and |
want to urge all of your readers to go and
hear her. She is friend of ours at Wellesley
and has made great reputation for herself.
She has recently come from Europe and is
singing even better than last year. do not
believe the people OF Morrisville have had
chance to listen to so good "a singer as she is,
and it will be a long time before they will
have another, and no one will go away from
that entertainment disappointed. l write
this gratuitously aud without her knowledge
and it is the first time | ever did it.
ORDINATION OF MR.. SEYMOUR.
The ordination of Mr.. Seymour on
Thursday passed off very pleasantly
Notwithstanding the weather. There
was a good number present from out
of town, all the churches invited ex-
cept four being represented. The ex-
animation in the morning brought
out little debate, but the differences
were only in the way of stating the
same belief. The excellent and we'll
served dinner interrupted the exami-
nation, which was continued after
dinner Oh the subject of probation.
At the fellowship meeting, a paper
on Christian Fellowship" full of in
terest, was read by Rev. Mr.. Bying-
ton of East Hardwick. Then follow
ed discussion and prayer. There were
present neighboring pastors of other
denominations, and others had sig
nified their intention to respond to
the invitation extended them, but
were prevented.
The ordination service in the even
ing was one of unusualinterest. After
opening service by Rev. Mr.. Bying-
ton followed the sermon bV Rev f.
T. Fairbanks, DID,, OF st. Johnsbury,
which was full of good points. The
speaker succeeded in his effort not to
follow in the beaten track, aud show
ed how to "see man" as Jesus did.
The charge to his son by Rev. B. n.
Seymour of Washington, d. c., was
earnest and beautiful Rev Mr.. Drew
of Stowe, made the ordaining prayer.
Rev. F. c. Taylor of Hyde Park, re-
ferred to college days spent together,
and welcomed the new pastor to the
county. Rev. Edwin Wheelock very
fittingIy addressed the people, and
Rev. Mr.. Whitman of Wolcott, made
the closing prayer, followed by the
benediction by the pastor.
The music deserves special mention.
The church choir under Prof. Whipple
rendered an anthem, and the local
quartette beautiful TIE Deum. The
organist was Miss Lothrop of Bel
] lows Falls.
