Willard M M. Taplin, ]. G. Gray, C. w.
Cook and w M. Wright. Major Grout
of Derby, and Henry c. Bates of ST..
Johnsbury were present and each spoke
for short time on the current topics of
the day. The Major spoke of the good
times that the democrats had promised
the people of the country four years ago if
only they would vote the democratic
ticket. He lixened the party to a doctor
who always had some new remedy which
was sure cure for everything. He also
spoke for a short time on the silver issue,
showing that it would be misfortune to
the masses of the people. Mr.. Bates in
his remarks commenced with the free
coinage law of 1892, and showed the effect
of the legislation on the currency to the
present time. His argument was clear,
easily understood, and much appreciated

The attractions of our beautiful lake
appear to have at last begun to attract the
attention of our townspeople in earnest.
Since Messrs. Kimball and Percival
bought the property at Silver Cove and
began to improve it, each season has seen
more people spending their vacations
across the lake, and this year there is quite
a settlement. Mr.. Kimball's family have
been at SomerviIe Cottage since the mid
die of July, with several guests. Messrs.
Murkland and Gay with their families
have been at their cottages more than any
previous season. Mrs. S. NJ. Cheney has
enlarged her cottage by the addition of
two wings and veranda extension which
gives the camp a greatly improved APP
pearance. During the past week she has
had Miss Annie Beebe as visitor, and the
Misses Gustin of Stanstead will be her
guests the coming week. Mr.. and Mrs.
Clifford and friend are occupying Mr..
Webster's cottage, and among the camp
ers are the Messrs. Miller at Rawson's
Landing, and Messrs. Currier of Barton
and Rawson of Bennington, who have
pitched their tent at Point Webster. The
lots along the lake shore nearly all
taken, some of those most recently sold
being to Mr.. Geo. FL. Davis of Barton and
Mr.. F. E. French of Boston. Next sum
mer will probably see at least two more
cottages erected, and the number of
campers will be materially increased.
