News and citizen. [volume] (Morrisville, Vt. ;) 1881-current, 1894-05-10

F. C. Peck, the telegraph messenger
and express manipulation, recently
appeared in a bran new uniform of
the same pattern as those worn by
city messenger boys. He is notquite
as slow as the city boys, however,
and Bloom Palmer is authority for
the statement that Fred oils his shoes
before starting out with a message
to keep from forming "hot-box' in
them.
Lamoille Grange holds its next ses-
sion on Thursday, May 81, aud it is
expected the picnic dinner will bring
a good attendance. 1t will be an all
day meeting, with the forenoon de-
voted to the regular business of the
order, then dinner, and music, essays
and literary work in the afternoon.
G. H. Terrill will have a Babcock
milk tester in operation and members
desiring to know the exact standing
of their cattle for dairy use will do
well to bring samples for testing, and
as the operation is short the more
samples the better. A pint jar is
given as about the proper thing for
shape of vessel and quantity of milk.
The Mortified News has these
pleasant words concerning the chair
man of the coming Republican State
Convention
The Republican State committee
will find that it made no mistake in
it's recent choice of George M. Powers
of Morrisville to preside over the Re-
publican State convention in June
He is a chip off the old block, or in
other words he is the son of Yer.
mont's already distinguished Con
gresham, Judge H. H. Powers. BY
the way, it will now be in order fol
some Democratic contemporary tC
rise up and inform a long suffering
! public that the Republican party
never recognizes it's younger members
