MIDDLEBURY MASONS.


II
MIDDLEBURY, May 1j.-This was great
day in the history of Union lodge No. ,,
Free and Accepted MaSous of Middlebury.
1t was the Tooth anniversary Of the char
tering Of the lodge, and was observed to-
night in manner entirely appropriate to
the occasion. At 5 o'clock the members Of
the lodge and many visiting friends, with
the public, gathered in the lodge rooms in the
Probate block, and after the usual prelmi-
naries, Historian Henry L. Sheldon of Mid
dlebury was presented and gave n very
thorough and interesting sketch of the Mid
dlebury branch of the order, of which the
following is a brief abstract:
Most of the settlers of Middebury came
from Connecticut and the charter for Union
lodge No was obtained from the grand
lodge of that State and was dated May ID,
1894. The lodge was fortunate in having
for members some of the most distinguished
men in Vermont It's first officers were:
Col John Chapman, master; Joel Linslcy,
senior warden; Lewis Mcdonald, junior
warden. and Rev. Thomas Tolman, secre-
tary. The grand master and senior
warden of the grand lodge of Connect
cut came here to institute the
lodge and install the first officers.
The first meeting was at the inn of Samuel
Foot. The next year the meetings We're
held in the Mattocks tavern and aiterward
in the Markham tavern After various
changes in the location the rooms at present
occupied became the lodge rooms in 1924
When the lodge suspended in 1880, III con
| sequence Of the anti Masonic excitement,
| Edward ID. Barber started "A paper here
which was exceedingly bitter against the
order The lodge made so Masons before
! 1900 and 36I before the suspension. Caleb
Morton is the oldest member living, having
been initiated in 1853. Union lodge was
| the fifth in the State to organize before the
State grand lodge, which was organized the
same year and holds its centennial next
month The records of Union lodge, com
| plcte for 100 years, are of almost priceless
value, and with only two exceptions are the
| only complete set now in existence of the
Vermont lodges chartered previous TO the
| general SUSPENSION in 1880
Rev. Mr., Blunt next gave an account of
! the origin of Masonry. The meeting then
adjourned to a banquet at the Addison
| House, which opened at 10 o clock, The
banquet was one Of the finest ever spread in
| Middlebury and it was n late hour when the
celebration of the hundIedth anniversary
came TO an end.

COTTON MILL MEETING.


A meeting of business men under the aus
pieces of the Board OF Trade, to further dis
cuss the proposed new cotton mill, was held
a the y. NJ. c. \. building Tuesday evening.
President Lyman of the Board presided and
A. G.. Whittemore was elected secretary.
Col. L. a. Woodbury. said that W. f. Dra
per, jr., of Hopedale, Mass, of the firm of
g. f. Draper u Sons manufacturers of
mill machinery, with Mr.. Hines, the pro
moter and superintendent Mr.. Sheldon the
architect, and Mr.. Sears the contractor,
had spent the day in looking for a site for
the proposed new mill. Their presence and
their representations had further strength
ened his opinion in the feasibility of the
scheme. II had been decided that the Addi-
tion was not desirable place for the mill
because of lack of water, "A large supply
being needed. \ tract Of land belonging to
II. X. COnger, east of the railroad track
and north OF a street leading from Pine
street west met all the necessary require
mcnts. The tract contains ID acres and
Mr.. Conger had made a satisfactory price,
agreeing to take his pay in the stock of the
new company. 1t is proposed to erect a
three story brick mill, 2SO feet long and / Is
wide, exclusive of the engine and boiler
house The engine will be 500 horse power
from 700 to 500 looms Mr. Hines has
raised SEQ 600 out of the necessary $3.50,
600 and the local committee has obtained
>;}2 600 out of the necessary 500, 600. The
Drapers have subscribed H5O, 600, because of
their confidence in Mr.. Hines, and Mr. Sears
has promised 81 600.
Mr.. Draper gave some of the reasons why
Burlington had been selected. There were
no labor organizations in Vermont: coal is
lower and freight rates better here than in
Massachusetts. He claimed that one man
could run 16 Of their looms as easily as
eight of the old style, the looms turning out
as much and better cloth. \ change in the
tariff would affect the price of print cloths
very little. 1t is good time to build n mill
and new mill is better than an old one.
The plant will probably be doubled i'll the
next five years. About 300 hands will be
employed at first.
Messrs Hines, Sheldon and Sears fol-
! lowed in the same strain. Briefly, they
said that a mill could be built now II per
cent cheaper than ever before and 10 per
cent cheaper here than i'll Massachusetts,
There is room ON the ID acres of land for
four mills The facilities for handling coal
| and cotton are excellent. The building can

months and ready TO begin work in III
months.
Mayor Van Patten expressed the hope
that all present would aid the committees in
raising the necessary balance Of SlN,O ,OOU
within n week and &. +. Smith referred to
the enterprise as something which continued
to look better as an investment, the more it
was looked into The meeting then ad
