News and citizen. [volume] (Morrisville, Vt. ;) 1881-current, 1893-01-25

The farmers and those interested
in organizing a Grange in this tow
are requested to meet at the tow
hall next Tuesday, Jan. 31st, at p
m. 1t is expected that T. G. Bron
son of East Hardwick, who was ap
pointed by the State Grange as
deputy to organize new oranges, will
be present. 1t is hoped that all in
terested will attend, as it is DESTROYS
to have large list of charter mem
bers.
1t seems likely that nothing will
come from the scheme lately talked
of, to start a door, sash and blinC
manufacturing business here TN,
plan seemed hardly feasible, as tn,
gentleman who proposed it wanted
someone else to put in just clever
times as much cash as he was ready
to invest. Morrisville will welcome
and encourage as far as possible any
manufacturing enterprise with bot
tom, and an assured future, but it il
doubtful if she is in a frame of mine
to do very much experimenting.
The annual firemen's ball on Fri
day evening was pleasant occasion
to all those who attended. An excel
lent supper was served at the Ran
dali and everything passed off in
good shape, excepting that the de.
partment failed toreceive the support
of the large majority of the dance.
going people of the community. The
end in view was a social good time
and a benefit for the uniforming OF
the companies. The boys are obliged
however, to draw from their treasury
money to make both ends meet.
The next entertainment in the lee
ture course will be lecture by A. E.
Winship of Boston, Wednesday even
ing, Feb. 8. Subject, "America's To-
morrow" Leominster, Mass, Enter
prise says, "This lecture was otsim-
ply MI hours entertainment, but an
active force to lift, direct and strength
en- the life." In order that all may
be able to learn something of Ameri-
cas- tomorrow, which, indeed, is all
uncertainty, and more in the mind s
eye than in fact, the price of admis-
sion will be 25 cents. Mr.. Winship is
one of Boston's best men, and lee
ture full of force and good influence
may be expected.
1t looked for while on Friday at
ternoon as though the firemen were
in for serious prelude to their an
nual ball. The fire alarm called quite
a crowd to Mr.. Leach's, on High
street, where chimney burning out
had started quite a blaze in the attic
and roof. 1t was extinguished with
snow and little water, with no seri-
Gus damage done. Late in the night
while the firemen were at the Randall
for supper, some excitement was
caused by a smudge in an upstairs
closet, caused by a match being
thrown upon the floor. Rugs and
carpeting were brought into effective
service and the fire thoroughly smooth
cred before any damage was done.
The midwinter meeting of the La
noble County Christian Endeavor
Union was held in the Cong'l church
here on Tuesday. 1t was one of the
best and most largely attended meet
ings in the history of the Union.
Every society in the county, we be-
lieve, was represented. The topics
throughout were both interesting
and practical. The evening address
by Rev. Mr. Gallagher of Montpelier,
on "Power," was a mastery effort
and held the close attention of large
audience. n. M. Pratt, delegate for
Chittenden county to the convention,
was sent by the First Congregation
al church of Burlington. He spoke
very enthusiastically on" Bible Train
ing"
Mr.. C. A. Sanders has an interest
ing letter from Rev. j. Edward Wright
who, with his family, is making an
extended foreign tour. The letter
was written in Berlin, Prussia, Jan'y
7th, and relates of his tour through
the more important European cities,
including Rome, Naples, Venice, Pom
peii and many others; also boat
trip up the Rhine, through the St.
Gothard tunnel, etc. Of Berlin he
says the days are extremely short,
but the mercury has not shown it
colder than 50 above zero. Mr..
Wright expects to start on the home
ward trip in about a month, going
by way of Holland, Belgium, France
and Great Britain, returning to his
work in Montpelier, where his church
gave him a years vacation.
Every person coming from town
hall on Saturday evening was enthu
siastic in praise of the entertainment
given by the Schubert Male Quartette
and the three lady specialists as their
support. The company was intro
duced by Col. Gates, mot as the Chi
cago Worlds Fair, but some of the
fair from Chicago" and it is but fair
to state that their reputation as ar
fists which had preceded them, was
even more than fairly we'll sustained.
To say that this company of ladies
and gentlemen stands at the very
front of any musical aggregation
that has visited Morrisville, puts it
mildly. The quartette in the rich
melody of the combined voices, is
simply immense. The young ladies
in their special work each won the
sympathy and applause of the large
audience. Every number upon the
program received an encore save the
last and that only because ii was the
last. The company left here on Mon
day for their next stand, Nashua.
