put last fall are terrible.
Isn't it about time to get the Village
Improvement Society into operation?
1t looks as though there need be con-
siderable done. A little work done
early this week might be of advantage.
The poor New Highlander who sur
wives the long and dreary winter
might anticipate some little pleasure
for the next six months, if the base
ball season did not set in when the
winter went out.
We are glad to note that the ST.
Johnsbury CaLedonian has put itself on
the right side of the question on the
Sunday Press excursion business. Mr..
Stone, although he is officially con-
nected with the Association, will not
go to Chicago on Sunday.
Business at the Peerless factory is
going on swimmingly. New machines
and new help are added and about
1900 garments are got out and shipped
daily The railroads have SO arranged
the matter of freighting that stock
and goods are received and shipped
satisfactorily.
Special fare has been arranged for
those who wish to attend the Lieut..
Peary lecture to be held at ST. Johns
bury on Friday afternoon next. By
taking the Air Line afternoon train
down, the lecture can be heard and
return made on the mail train. Fare
from Barton, 81; from Newport, $1.35.
It would be a convenient and court
eous thing for those who are to enter
tain Conference guests this week if
they would meet them at the trains
and escort them home. A large share
of them will come on Tuesday night
on the mail train; those coming from
Franklin county will arrive on We'd
nesday at 1:3O p. M; a few will come
to- night.
Mons. Myot, who was here recently
repairing and tuning organs, has been
Of late repairing an old English pipe
organ at Lyndon, which was used
many years in the North church at
very satisfactory instrument of it
when it is overhauled. He did a very
good piece of work at the Methodist
church here in putting the old church
organ in repair. Tt seems almost as
good as new since it was fixed up.
The MONITOR next week will be
largely devoted to matters pertaining
to the Conference. We shall get out
large edition and be prepared to
furnish all the conference friends and
attendants with the paper. We shall
give the appointments and pretty
full account of the proceedings of all
the sessions and the anniversaries,
with such extracts from the addresses
and sermons as our space will permit.
The paper will be of much value to
all our readers. Orders left at this Of
fee or with the publisher will be filed
at once. The. first edition next Mon
day will be out within few minutes
from the time the appointments are
read, and in season for those who take
the forenoon train for the south and
the noon train for the north.
A very neat and useful directory
has been published by the pastor, F.
W. Lewis, for the use of the Confer
ence people and such as are to enter
tain those who are to be among US
this week. The directory contains the
names of the members of the Confer
ence, official visitors, invited guests,
visiting delegates from other demon
nations, and other parties expected,
and the places where they will be en-
tertained while here. The directory
also gives the program Of exercises
and the time of the arrival and depart
ure of trains and mails. While every
exercise will be of interest, and all
the speakers who are to address the
Conference are men of ability, the ad
dresses of DR.. Payne on Tuesday ev
ening, and of Chaplain McCabe, on
Wednesday evening, and on Thursday
afternoon, and the addresses of Dr.
J.W Hamilton, late of Peoples church,
Boston, and the illustrated lecture fol-
lowing, by DR.. Stevens of Philadelphia.
