least, to be given a fair trial.
Charles L. Kenyon of Providence,
r. l., who is a guest at The Randall, |
has very kindly consented to favor |
MorrisviIle people with an organ re-
cital on Friday evening of this week.
The COng'l church will be open for
that purpose on that evening and a |
cordial invitation is extended to all |
who may wish to enjoy this musical
treat. Mr.. Kenyon is organist in the
leading church of Providence, is an |
instructor of marked ability, and an
enjoyable program may be expected. |
The fact that for II years MIR. Ken
yOn has continued as organist of one
of the largest churches in city of
100000 or more people, is evidence
enough of his ability. No admission
fee and no collection.
At the Congl church on Sunday
morning the pastor, Rev. Mr.. kel-
logg, prefaced his sermon by a brief
address TO the children, using the
text, Honor Thy Father and Thy
Mother" The text of the morning
sermon was found in James ! 81,
and formed the basis of a concisely
put practical sermon, the leading
thought brought out being that there
has been and is too much theoretical
religion and too little practical reli-
gion in the world. In the evening an
audience of nearly 300 was present.
Prof. A. A. Hadley of Pennsylvania,
a former resident of this town, gave
an enjoyable organ recital, and the
pastor made brief remarks. Prof.
Hadley's rare skill as an organist is
too we'll known here to need COM
ment.
The annual State camp meeting of
the Seventh Day Adventists of Ver-
mont is to open here Aug. 23d, con-
tinuing until Sept. Sd. As is indicat-
ed by their announcement, this is
State affair, from the fact that the
annual conference of that denOmina-
tion is held here during the series of
meetings. Orville Choate's grove, on
elevated ground east of Maple street,
has been leased for the purpose, and
all the level space at the top of the
hill has been entirely changed in ap-
pearance. All bushes and underbrush
have been cut and removed, the trees
trimmed up, and the uneven ground
leveled off, making a very attractive
grove. The entrance will be at the
head of Cherry avenue and a good
driveway has been made. On the
#plateau a large canvas tent will be
used for public services, while large
number of tents occupied by camping
parties will be grouped about it. On
Sunday, Sept, 2, teams will run from
the village to the grounds to carry
passengers.
CORPORATION MEETING.
For a genuine razzle dazzle of ideas,
discussion, motions, amendments and
cOuntpr-motions, Tuesday evenings
corpora ton meeting will certainly
be allowed to Inappropriate the bis
cult" as it were. 1t would take a
half dozen nice, large, double barreled
monographs, with automatic switch
backs, together with large and
brainy force of expert stenogra piers
: to catch in detail the work of that
meeting, but briefly stated, the cor
poration will ask the coming General
Assembly for a charter for school
) district No. l. The electric light
: question is under consideration, and
will be investigated by a committee
: composed of Messrs. Powers, Slocum

system and cost of a new independ-
: ent plant, will be further investigated
by the Trustees The village will
buy at reasonable price, or put in
, a plant of it's own. They will not
paw $22, 900, Warren & Summerville's Is
, price. Reports and further action at
: adjourned meeting next Tuesday eve

! A TRUE ACCOUNT OF THAT ASSAULT"
e Mr. EdtOr:-
| So many people have asked about the as
sault of O. Hare and have been so erroneously
informed by Others concerning it we wish tc
. DISTINCTLY STATE that the man waited by
side of road for us to pass, as we were driving
: leisurly along two and half miles from Nor
: risville and after we quietly passed him he
commenced to swear and curse and use
threatening language, then whip his horse
y and chase on after us. We kept ahead O
k him for a little until we saw he was bent OF
Y running into our buggy, when we drove clear
: out and gave him the whole road, but he
dashed after us and onto our buggey, VERY
L PLAINLY meaning to overturn us. He first
: locked onto the hind wheel and drove some
h distance; when we succeeded in clearing from
= him there he locked to the inside of fore
z wheel, and we escaped from that after some
J, rods of click, click of broken spokes when hC
!. the third time drove in such manner onto th(
!, outside of fore wheel as to turn our wheel
but our hub dashed every spoke from his
wheel thus disabling the gentleman from ac
n complishng his purpose. The man was
brought to trial (?) next morning and plead
> guilty, to charge OF the State for disturbing
d the peace, before the Sheriff and Justice o
O the Peace, was fined $5 and cost the small
n est lawful sum-aDd discharged, without tn,
presence or knowledge of even the granC
. Juror who brought the case or any witnesses
+ No one was notified when the trial was tt
n take place. 1t is currently reported tha'
! O'Hare himself said he ran into us purposely
Z and that he did not do as bad as he mean
n to do These are the true facts of the case.
