MORRISVILLE.


In speaking of Masonic install
lation as occurring last Wednesday
evening we were misinformed.
a Carroll Randall was up Greensboro
way Saturday, on the first fishing
trip of the season. Trout for dinner
Sunday.
Leon Bracket proposes giving an
undivided attention to photOg-
raphy and has withdrawn from a
partnership with L. f. Rice.
The large delegations from the Re-
lief Corps and G. A. R. post which
met at the depot, William McClintock
and the remains of his sister, Mrs.
Lizzie Clark, testified to the esteem
in which both were held by the or
CARNATIONS here, of which they we're
formerly members.
From the reports of inspection
officers given through Division Com
mander E. T. Monahan's latest cir
cular, it is seen that 6. W. Doty
Camp No. so of Morrisville is of the
first-class with a mark of SO per cent.
The marking ranges from % at
Huntington down to Is per cent at
Montpelier.
Parties who are known took hooks
from Whitney's mill on Sunday and
proceeded toward the upper end of
the pond, where they rolled lot Of
logs into the water, the logs being
owned by different parties, who had
them separated in piles. Somebody
has got to settle up damages, so
says Mr.. Whitney.
Some discussion of the pros and
cons attending the questions of pol
icy, legality and common practice,
as found Ornot found in the fact that
the Board of Listers have tackled the
electric light plant and the water sys-
tenn constructed by the village cor
poraton and place the two in the
taxable list, has taken place in the
past few days. What may constitute
the real and which the personal es-
tate of the village in this connection,
and what offset, byreasOn of indebt-
edness from the bond issue, are ques-
lions that come up. AS bond issu-
ing expert, Grover Cleveland might
be able to unravel the mystery.
The beautiful Grecian architecture
of the summer resort Hotel
Choate," up off from Maple street,
easily outstrips anything of the kind
in Vermont, if not in New England.
For guests who can stand a possible
damp evening air, there is nothing
in hotel architecture that can come
near it. The blue vault of heaven,
the waving branches of maple trees,
the sweet heritage of mother earth
mingled with the lullaby of the crick-
cts and tree toads, soothe the weary
guest to refreshing sleep. No eleva
tors that don't elevate, no stairs to
climb, no fire escapes that don't
escape, no sitting atmosphere of
narrow, contracted rooms, no, no, as
a summer hotel it is out of sight and
best of all, it's all on the ground
floor. The date of this seasons open
ing is not yet fixed.
1t is noticed that quite a number
OF people about every day IN the
week with a letter in their hand, rush
into the post-office with a desperate
hope that that letter will go on that
very mail. Many times finding that
the mail bag has started for the de-
pot, or if not started has been closed.
If the latter is the case many times,
the post.ofice people with a bland
smile, as though it gave them inf
mite pleasure, unlock and open up
the bag and hunt out the particular
package of letters into which the
particular letter should GO, and just
by the squeak of fraction of a mo-
ment get the bag in readiness for it's
departure. Such experiences would be
avoided if the public becomes ac-
quainted with departure of trains
and remember that twenty minutes
are allowed as between closing of
mails and train time.
