The BredIe's concert on Saturday
evening of this week, promises to be
one of the best entertainments of the
season. The full orchestral selections
and the solo parts, selections by the
banjo, mandolin and guitar clubs,
and the many attractive features
promised, make program rendered
pleasing, by reason of its constant
change. La the current slang,
Beedle's orchestra ampntates consid-
cradle CONCEALED aqua pura, or in
other words, they "cut some ice," in
the musical world. Better secure
your seats. The company appear in
Hardwick the night before and will
remain here at the Randall over next
Sunday.
Hon. T. A. Lake, the genial horse
fancler, came to town the middle of
last week and remained over Sunday.
Mr.. Lake is an extensive lumber deal
err at Rockville, Conn, and is, when
at home, a very busy man. Horse
buying or developing is merely a side
issue with him. An innocent diver
sion, or as he puts it, "a little knit.
ting" Whenever he gets a little rus
ty by reason of close attention to
business at homo, re packs his grip
and comes to MOrrisville, looks over
his eight or more fine specimens of
horse flesh at UJton's, rides behind
them, buys new one, or sells one
and goes back home renewed in
health and fresh for business. He
speaks very highly of his impression
of Morrisvile and its people.
The siXty-seven new volumes Just
received for the public library have
been catalogued and are now ready
for circulation. They are a valuable
addition to our we'll selected library.
The circulation has largely increased
during the past yearand more books
are in great need. The reading room
in connection with the library has
good number and variety of maya
zines and papers and is well patroniz-
ed, but many more might and should
avail themselves of this opportunity
to secure information upon current
events. The rooms are particularly
attractive of an evening now, since
the putting in of electric lights, which
has been a great improvement.
On Monday a party of Morrisville
people, younger and older, married
and single, went to Stowe on the leap
year plan. 1t was claimed by the
ladies who conducted the whole affair
with such certain success, that no
one knew for a moment who any one
else was to "take" and yet the cruel
men folks say it is a fact that all the
female portion held a secret session
and parceled off the victims, having
thoroughly understood who was to
ask who, SO that no lady, young or
old, might be humilated by receiving
the ''mitten," or so there would be
no duplicates or something of that
sort. All hands had an immense
time. A dance was held, Prof. George
ElmOre's orchestra furnished music,
and an excellent supper was served
by mine host Lovejoy of the Green
Mountain Inn. Morrisville men folks
are impressed with the conviction
that they were royalty treated. The
menfolks were a tired set when they
reached home Tuesday morr ing. the
party having danced 26 long figures,
and not blessed man had the
courage to say no, but had to "toe
the mark and dance out everyone OF
the numbers.
