bles. The trip will be of six or eight
weeks duration and will embrace

ton, Burlington, Plattsburgh, N. Y,

dence, R. |.
| Mr.. and Mrs Luther Adams recent
ly received fifteen relatives at one
time, all spending four or five days
very pleasantly, coming from Ran
dolph, Post Mills and Concord. On
the Sunday spent there nineteen per-
sons came to church from Mr.. Adams
house, and on the same day the same
party with the Hadley family, aggre-
eating 20 persons, sat down to tables
spread at the Hadley home.
A very ungainly gotten up turnout
attracted much attention on Port
land street Tuesday afternoon. A
wagon of somewhat ancient origin,
with canvas top, pair of bronchos
and the driver, Bishop S. Ash, a man
sc years of age, who had driven the
team from Oregon across the Rock
les to Vermont, and within a few
miles of his destination at Irasburgh.
He stopped five days at the Chicago
Fair, where he was entertained in
great shape.
A very pleasant event took place
Tuesday afternoon at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. III. S. Putnam of Ell
more, it being the marriage OF their
daughter Gertrude to Geo. l.. Bates,
one of our rising young men. The
ceremony was performed in pleas
ing manner by Rev. Mr.. Seymour.
The parents, relatives and few
friends of the happy pair were pres
ent. They received many beautiful
gifts and the best wishes of a host OF
friends. They are soon to take up
their residence in Morrisville.
The male quartette of the Dudley
Buck Glee Club, an incorporated body
of twenty men, of Pueblo, Col, gave
a most enjoyable concert at town
hall on Wednesday evening. A ma
jority of the numbers on the program
received hearty encores. With voices
harmonizing in pleasing manner,
an organist of marked ability, and
Mr.. Cornell as soloist, they can but
rank high in their work. Through
some lack in advertising as well as a
fear on the part of many that the
hall would be something likened to
an oven on such an intensely hot eve
ming, the attendance was far below
what it should have been.
SCHOOL MEETING.
The number was small of our citi-
zens who we're interested and turned
out to the special School Meeting last
Friday evening Plans for the need
ed improvements we're submitted and
a statement made concerning the
proposed work and the cost of the
same. After general discussion of
the points presented, the meeting
voted to authorize the Prudential
Committee to expend a sum not to
exceed $500 for the purposes contem-
plated in the warning, providing the
town, by it's Directors, appropriate a
like amount. 1t is estimated that
$500 will accomplish what is needed.
In reality but 5000 of that amount
will come out of the town funds, as
the village district appropriates 500
and pays in taxes one-half of the bal
ance. Work upon these changes is
already under way and will be pushed
as rapidly as possible, as school be-
gins Wednesday, Aug. 30.
THE CHURCHES.
Rev. E. P. Seymour presented a
practical sermon on Faith " at the
Cong'l church Sunday morning. In
the evening Rev. B. n. Seymour of
Washington, depicted in "a forcible
manner " The Christians High Call
ing"
A special meeting of the United
Workers will be held this WED eve
