Waterbury Items,

The services at the Congregational church
next Sunday will be conducted by Rev. G.
Il. Merrill OF St. Johnsbury.
The date set for the opening OF the village
schools is september IS, it having been
thought best to postpone it until after the
fair.

boys went to Barre on Saturday and met
defeat at the hands OF a similar team. The
score was 80 to 8.

was assisted at the Sunday morning service
by Clarence Davis, who sang tenor. May
his voice be heard often

Methodist church next Sunday evening,

The concreters have departed from our
peaceful village and the melodious song
of the grease needing iron roller will be
stilled, for this season at least. There re-
mains but one street in all the village
which has no concrete, and we should be
satisfied now il we ever expect to be.
Mrs. Daniel Russ died last Friday and
was buried from the home of 1. II. Elliott
Saturday. The intense grief caused by the
sad death OF her husband, last spring, was
more than she could endure. With the
loss OF reason came sickness and a steady
failing Of strength, until after great suffer-
ing, she passed away.
The press for the Waterbury Record has
arrived. Furthermore, it is set up and
seems to be ready for business. In the fu-
ture, it is expected, nothing but model
sheet will issue from those doors, through
which for ages past there has come the
greatest periodicals of the day. The Record
Is expected to come forth full fledged rep
resentative of Waterbury, editorials, locals,
and advertisements, all home made. We
feel sure that the politics will show up on
the right side, and that the sheet will fall
into line with the long list of Vermont
weeklies representing the best interests of
the Old Green Mountain State.
