says very few have attended to the
matter as yet.
E. T. Wilson, artist, has recently
finished some large and fine pictures
of the Methodist and the Congrega-
tional churches in this village. There
ought to be good demand for them
among the people.
Mr.. Hartwell and Miss Whitney,
clerks in the Geo. Ell. Davis store, ar
ranged very beautiful show window
last week in remembrance of Easter.
They displayed Easter lilies, pot5ed
plants, goods, etc.
Mr.. Emerson, president Of the Peer
less Co., was here last week with Or
ders for new goods, sufficient to keep
the mill running till June, with a con-
siderable increase in help. This will be
good news to those who are employed
in the factory.
We hear that little child Of Nellie
(Mathewson) Waite Of ST. Johnsbury

paralysis of the brain on Saturday
last. Mrs. Waite is in Florida on ac-
count of serious illness, and the child
was being cared for by Mrs. A. b.
Mathewson in the mothers absence.

one. Admission, Is cents.
Mrs. James Cook, mother Of Horace
Cook, and sister of the late Maj Hor-
ace Pierce, passed away yesterday,
after q short illness with pneumonia,
aged about SO years. Mrs. Cook has
been wel-knoWn resident Of this
town for many years, and has been es-
teemed by all who knew her. The flu
neral services will be held at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Cook on Wednesday, at
10 O'Clock a. m.
Mr.. Alchurch, whose family have
resided in the @. j. Ufford house the
past year, has moved to one of Hen
ry Gays tenements on Lincoln St.
Mr.. Alchurch has been gardener for
the Fairbankses heretofore, but we
hope he will remain here this year and
help our village people to better adorn
their yards and flower gardens. Let's
give him work and keep him in town.
The friends of Rev S. B. Currier,
former Method dist pastor in this town
and county, who left this state for
Florida some years since, at the time
an almost helpless paralytic, will be
pleased to learn that he has SO far re-
covered as to be able to walk and to
do considerable preaching in his To-
cality. Nothing but a courage and
persistency peculiar to this man
could have brought him back to such
state Of health.
We, the teachers of Barton Acade
my and Graded School, do extend to
our Superintendent, Rev. j. K. Fuller,
our heartfelt thanks for his hearty
cooperation with us in our work, and
for his kind, encouraging words. We
regret that other duties will nor per-
nit his serving longer as Superintend-
ent, but we still hope to receive an
occasional visit from him.

@. P. Jenness, since he took the
post office, has made some changes in
his rear office that add much to it's
convenience. It is saying no harm Of
any one else to say that no postmas-
ter in the last twenty years has kept
a cleaner, more orderly Office than Mr..
Jenness. His Office is not a smoking
room, loafers' stopping place or the
politicians resort. Seems as though
with his republican surroundings Mr..
j. might get on the other side Of the
political fence before the change Of
of 1896 occurs.
We see by soma New Hampshire pa
pers, that our old friend, F F. Cheney'of
Glover, is figuring somewhat con-
spicuously with the Populst party in
that state. We had hoped that this
fallacy had passed into such stage
and condition that all Vermonters
would have discarded it, He must
clear his head OF these notions pretty
soon or we shall be obliged to dose
him with the MONITOR. If that will
not cure him we recommend that he
go out to Ohio and enlist with
| Coxey.
