and others to get their items and ad-
vertisements in early for the next
three weeks. Let the matter reach us
as early as Saturday morning if posi-
BILE.
We give this issue of the MONITOR
very largely to the County Fair and
other local matters. The things Of
this great country must wait,so far as
this paper is concerned, till next
week.
A CARD.-We desire to extend to
the people of Barton our most sincere
thanks for sympathy shown and for
assistance rendered at the time of the
burial of our beloved husband, father
and friend, Timothy G. Kimball. May
the Lords blessing be upon them all.
Mrs. MARY KIMBALL,
Miss MAY KIMBALL,
AND FRIENDS.
Capt. Averil and wife Of Westmore
have extended cordial invitation to
Quimby Post and the Relief Corps, to
visit them on Tuesday of this week.
If the day proves stormy, Wednesday
will be taken for the ride. 1t is I'M
necessary to say that the visit will be
an enjoyable one.
Arthur @. Randall, postmaster at
St. Johnsbury has made arrangements
with the Weather Bureau, whereby he
will receive each morning weather
predictions for the next day, the same
to be posted in the post office. He
offers to send the predictions to all
the postmasters in the vicinity SO that
they can be posted in the morning.
We understand that Mr.. Webster will
post in this office.
G. @. Tower could not quite get
over his itching for the lumber bust
ness and has just closed a trade for
the timber on about 1900 acres on the
the north slope Of Mt. Mansfield. The
most of the land is we'll timbered and
is almost entirely spruce. He is ne
gotiating with parties now for the
purchase of machinery for a steam
mill which he will probably build this
fall. He will either build a mill, or
contract with parties TO build it, and
then manufacture the lumber by the
thousand.
We hardly suspect that the people
realize how good fair the n. @. Fair
Association hold each year at Lyn-
donville. They call it the old-fash-
toned fair, and it is gotten up on the
old plan, but is all the more interest
ing for that. The show is always
good, and they have method there,
which we do not see elsewhere, of
getting matters off on time and ac-
cording to the program. This year
the 18th Regt. VT. Vols. meet there on
the 26th inst. for reunion exercises
with the expectation that Co. Proctor
and Lit. Col circuit will be present.
Methodists and many others in Yer
mont, where he is we'll known, will
learn of the death of Rev. Richard
Morgan with much grief. He was sta
toned. at Ludlow this year and had
gone to Cobleskill, N. Y, on vaca-
ton visit, where himself and wife
were visiting Mrs. Morgan's sister and
relatives While out riding in a team
four of them were thrown out by an
accident to the wagon and fright to
the horses. Mr.. Morgan's neck was
broken, Mrs. Morgan was badly hurt,
and all were injured. Mr.. Morgan had
preached in Lyndon, had been presid-
ing elder ten years, and secretary of
tho Vorp,opt Nopforanoo txuoptv- fiva
years. 1t is said that he had always
had great fear Of carriage accidents
and dreaded to ride behind a horse.
The Good Templars had a very
pleasant entertainment at their last
regular meeting, which consisted in
part of paper, edited by Misses
Mae Robinson and Nellie Case. Near
ly all of the pieces were original, and
the wit and humor column had some
very nice hits in it for nearly all the
members. The reading by Miss Lena
Dewey was much enjoyed by all while
the singing and other exercises were
fully up to the standard. The next
regular meeting will be "Patriotic
night,'' and the exercises will be un-
der the direction Of Nellie Case, and
will be very interesting to the older,
as well as the younger members. Let
all come to the regular meeting at
7:30.
