Gov. Grout is receiving the condolences
of his friends, on the bunged eyes and
distorted features portrayed in some of
the alleged portraits OF him which are ap-
pearing in the newspapers. No doubt our
really good-looking governor will be able
to live these down.-Free Press -saasza
The above refers to matter which the
MONITOR has spoken of before, and now
we have to plead guilty ourselves. We
used some plate matter containing the
Governors message and ssbunged'' the
eyes of our esteemed friend, badly. Fortu-
nately he is known by the most of our
readers and they will not measure his
looks by the pictures published.
The village trustees are adding a new
dynamo to the electric plant at Clyde, lay
ing some foundations for the new and old
machine, making an addition to the pow
er house and putting in a few lengths of
steel fume. The first dynamo was being
over loaded by the number of lamps used
in this village and at Island Pond and the
new power seemed necessary. The double
dynamos ought to be sufficient for the two
villages for some time to come. More of
our village people ought to take the new
lights this fall. They are convenient, safe,
brilliant, and it is believed cheap. Most
users are on the meter system and hardly
know yet what the cost will be.
