Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1893-01-02

a new pattern Of dynamos
and motors that is taking the cake
everywhere it is known, being very
light running machine, and OF high
generative power, the simplest ma
chine on the market to-day, the pref
test design and the cheapest first
class outfit we know of. They are be-
ing sold on their merits, and will be
set in beside any machine costing
twice the money. This company have
put their prices where they are within
the reach Of almost any individual or
town, and their terms are easy and
they guarantee satisfaction. Mr.. Buzz
zell is a pusher, and we have no
doubt he will make a success Of this
with his machine business. They will
issue new price lists and circulars at
once.
All lovers Of music should make
their arrangements to attend the con-
vention of the Orleans Co.Musical As
ISOLATION to be held in the new Lane
Opera House, Newport, VT, Jan. 10,
IL, u and IS, 1898. The talent engag-
ed is by far the finest ever brought to
this county, and it is confidently ex-
pected that the convention will excel
all former efforts of this association.
BIaisdells Orchestra is too we'll known
to require mention in the way of
praise. Mrs. Shepard, whom every
\ l
ent as usual. Mr.. D. M. Babcock, the
basso, is one of the finest, if not the
best, in New England, and it is only
at rare intervals that our people have
an opportunity of hearing artists of
his stamp. The other talent, Miss
Hamlin, soprano; Mr.. Cushman, ten
or and Miss card, elocutionist, are all
of the first rank in their profession
and the committee feel that they are
to be congratulated on securing SO
high class of artists. 1t is hoped
that all interested in music and in
this Association will make an especial
effort to be present and thus further
the effort for the use of music in Or
leans county.
The remains of Mrs. Luther Merri-
am. a former resident of this town,
were brought here for burial on Thurs

North burying- ground on Friday.
Mr.. Merriam died some thirty years
ago, and Mrs. VI. went to Massachu-

The year 1892 was not a remarkable
one in growth and improvements, ex-
cept in the erection of the new manu-
factory, built by the Peerless Co. of
Newport, n. III. We call to mind the
improvements made on the Benton
buildings, occupied by Merton Lewis.
The barns were moved, nicely finish
ed, and the whole set Of buildings
painted, much to their Improvement
and appearance. Mr.. Hazen built
small set of buildings OH Church st.
and Geo. Keaten laid the foundation
for set Of buildings to be erected in
the spring. The school-house was en-
larged by putting a primary school
room into the ell, and a set of water
closets was put under the house with
other improvements. E. E. Liddell
put new windows into his house and
made extensive repairs; he also con-
verified his barn into a pleasant tene-
ment, fitting it up in good style. j.

large foundry building to be erected
in the spring. d. W. Brown put up
shed building near his house, and E.
w. Barron a large wood shed in the
rear of his buildings. The American
House was considerably improved, a
set of water closets, bathroom, etc.,
added. III. o. Whitcher made quite
extensive repairs on his buildings, as
did E. N. Randall, his neighbor. Chas.
w. Preston bought lot of N. M.
Scott and put up and nearly complet-
ed pleasant and convenient cottage
house. Henry Fairbrother is building
