the last of last week from their visit
of three or four weeks.
Miss Sarah Rublee returned home
last Thursday night from another
years work at the New England
Conservatory of Music, Boston. She
was accompanied by Miss Sleigh, for
merly of Johnstown, Penn. the scene
of the great food, and Miss Melon
aid of Ottawa, Canada.
Young America has one less bell to
ring on the Fourth of July. The bell
for so many years speaking out of
the Congregational church tower in
the early hours of Independence Day
must be silent this year. Last Thurs
day saw it lowered out from the
steeple and now it is mute and
motionless, until it shall be given a
better place in the new church tower,
where we trust Young America will
be able to find it for many long years
! to come.
Childrens' day was observed by the
Congregationalists in their Sunday
service. The interior of town hall
was very prettily decorated with
plants and flowers and the exercises
by the children were very well rem
dered. The pastor made a few re-
marks appropriate to the occasion.
The Sunday-school met as usual, but
there was no evening service. This
weeks Thursday evening prayer
meeting will be union meeting with
the Methodist people in their vestry.
Regular preaching service will be
held in town hall next Sunday morn
ing, the regular bi-monthly com
muniOn service which would have oc-
Cured at that time will be post
pOned.
The Wolcott Toys came down here
last Thursday to return the visit
made them the week previous by our
Furnishing base ball aggregation
styled the new No Names. No one
would ask for a prettier game of ball
than the first three and a half or four
innings, when the contest was nip
and tuck, with not many runs and
ties, blanks etc. But after hat the
Wolcott's went all to pieces, com
pletely, winding up with the No
Names having Twenty-Five notches
in the stick, and Wolcott but two.
There were such evidences of the
visitors being ratified that the home
team put up thirteen runs in one in
ming. Aninterestinggame spromised
in the proposed game between the
new ball team here bearing the same
name that was so hOnOrably sus-
tanned by the old team for several
years, and the survivors of said
team, representing the palmy days
of base ball in Morrisville. When the
new and the old No Names meet on
the field of battle it will be war to
the better end.
Hon. DIN Merrill of Enosburgh
Falls was in town last Thursday in
consultation with Hon. z. K. Gleed.
Mr.. Merrill is chairman of the Re-
publican State Committee, of which
Mr.. Gleed is a member. The former
has mapped out plans for the work
of the interesting campaign which
will be waged in Vermont from now
until the September elections, and
particularly during the month of
August. There is no trouble but
that Vermont elects a Republican
Governor and other officials, but the
question is by how much will she
elect them. When it comes the time
to vote on that day in early Septem-
Der every voter has duty with him
self and his neighbor. Morristown's
vote will decide the number of votes
it will have by delegates in the con-
ventions two years hence. Our pres
ent number is five in State and Dis
trict and fifteen in County Conven-
tons. 1t would seem that these
figures, il the voters would come out
and vote, would easily be changed to
seven and twenty-one, while eight
and twenty-four would be possible.
