A union congregation filling the
Methodist church to overfowing lis
tened to Miss Ethelynd Gould in the
rendering of several selections appro-
pirate to- the occasion on Sunday
evening. While the speaker no doubt
would be seen and heard to better
advantage in a more varied program,
still the rendition of the sacred and
pathetic selections of the evening
proved her natural and unaffected
ability.
L. J. Thompson, who has for sew
eral years been reading law in Hen
dee & Fisk's office, and who was ad-
mitted to the bar few weeks since,
finds an open field and seemingly a
very good opportunity for the prac-
tice of his chosen profession at VOL
colt, to which he soon goes. l.. j.
has lots of friends hereabouts, who
will wish him abundant success there,
at the same time regretting his alb
sence here.
A short time ago a man went into
a certain blacksmith shop here to
have his horse shod. As tie flies in
the shop bothered the animal to a
considera BILE eXetnt, the owner forth
with proceeded to keep them off while
the job was being done. When the
operation of shoeing was completed,
the aforesaid owner presented bill
of five cents for keeping the flies off
his own horse, as partial offset to
the blacksmith's charge.
At the Sunday morning service in
the Cong'l church a formal letter from
Rev. G. N. Kellogg of Norwich, Conn,
accepting the call to become pastor
of the church here, was read by Dea-
con Gleed. In the absence of pas
tor a brief sermon was selected and
read by H. C. Fisk, and notice was
given that there would be a general
rally at the parsonage on Tuesday
to clean up and put things in shape
for the new pastor and his family.
The village Trustees have posted
notices forbidding coasting on any
of the village streets. excepting the
hill at the south end of High street.
People are also requested to refrain
from hitching horses to electric light
poles. The poles are to be painted
and kept in good condition and the
hitching of horses will not promote
their attractive appearance, to say
nothing about the dangeri in monkey
ing around the poles when the elec-
tricity is streaking by.
i A. G. Afford of the "Alford Sport
/ ing Goods Co.," of Baltimore, Md,
one of the largest of it's kind in this
country, is a Lamoille county boy
and although it has been several
years since he left his native heath
he retains a warm affection for Yer
mont. He is a regular reader of the
NEWS AND CITIZEN, and in remitting
for the same this week has a word to
Say about the glorious Republican
victory, and adds
81 notice in your heading of the late cleo
|
in the "Soid South although mention is
made of the three congressman elected by
| the Republic in this state. This is only a
part of our glory, hOwev r, as the Republi-
cans OF this city elected a judge of the supe-
rior court and for the first time in history a
ma ority in the city council, II out of %.
There is now good prospect of sending two
or three more Congressman from this state,
as three of the defeated candidates will con-
test with the Democrats, who were undoubt-
edly elected by the grossest frauds, as has
already been shown. We expect to elect a
Republican Governor and Mayor next year
and are feeling very jubilant."

LAST WEEKS "sHow."
Morrisville has, 10 the past few
months, suffered the appearance of
too many "cheap john travelling
