st. Johnsbury came up also to attend the
reunion.
Remember the concert to be given by
the Kellogg Bird Carnival Co. next Friday
evening. This is to be a very fine enter
entertainment and no one should fail to
hear it. The committee were very lucky
in getting this company, as nearly all their
available time was booked early in the sea-
son.
| Harry Parker, Publisher of the Bradford
! Opinion was in town last week, making
Mr. and Mrs. Elliott of Hotel Barton a
brief visit. Some Springfield, Mass. drum
mers who were hotel guests at Barton
recently, represented that it was really the
pleasantest and best kept hotel they knew
in New England.
Congress assemblies to-day in extra ses-
sion, under call from President McKin-

will be the passage of several appropria-
ton bills which President Cleveland failed
to sign, the enactment of new tariff bill,
if it can be carried in the senate, and some
minor legislation.
Edward Girard, young man from
Derby Line, has come in here to do tailor
work. He has secured a room over the
meat market in Sewers block, and is al
ready for business. There is enough of
this work to be done here to keep him
busy, and we hope the people will remem-
Der Mr.. Girard when they have any work
in his line to be done.
The Montpelier Seminary Banjo Man
dolin and Guitar Clubs assisted by other

Bean & Winslow who are running
large horse and training stable, having
at times over thirty horses, with several
hostlers and training men, sold carload of
horses week before last to a Springfield
or New York party. They sold one pair for
500. One of these was the E. B. Robinson
colt of this village. Horses are purchased
with reference to good style and speed,
and they are sold as. drivers chiefly.
j. w. Murkland had quite violent at
near being pneumonia. DR.. Skinner has
been laid up with sickness just at a time
when his professional services were great
ly needed. There is scarcely a house in
this vicinity where more or less of the
family have not been sick with what is, or
for the want Of better name, is called,
grip.
Mrs. Charles A. Robinson of ST. Johns
bury died at her home, March 8, and
her remains were brought here on Thurs
day last for burial. Mrs. Robinson has
been i'll for long time, her sufferings be-
ing very severe much Of the time. She was
a resident here for some years before her
marriage and removal to St. Johnsbury,
and was much esteemed. She leaves hus-
band and son, who have the sympathy of
many friends here and elsewhere.
We notice that the Furniture Worker,
journal published in Cincinnati, has very
complimentary mention of the Percival
Manufacturing Co. of this place. The ex-
celIent character of their goods, the fair
ness and promptness of the men, the late
increase in their business, requiring the
use OF the large building near the freight
depot, their railroad facilities and other
advantages are mentioned, and they are
commended to the general trade. We are
glad to s!second the notion
There are many in this county who re-
member and now know Capt. Riley E.
Wright, son of the late Erastus Wright of
Coventry. Soon after the late war he
moved to Baltimore, Nd, an entered into
the practice of the law, where he has been
both popular and successful. We see by
the Baltimore american that he has re-
Gently been appointed judge of one of the
city courts of Baltimore. The American
speaks very highly of his ability and fit
ness for the position in an editorial article.
The village seemed to do wise thing at
the village meeting in retaining the old
board of trustees. They rendered excel
lent service last year in helping to COM
plete the electric light plant, and ought to
be kept in office until that matter is fully
Strengthened out and got upon paying
basis. They have had liberal tax voted
and will have a large sum of money to ex-
pend this year. We hope that there may
be some permanent improvements made
on the highways of the village. Our neigh
bors from outside who come to this vii
lage to do business ought not to be ex-
pected to carry all the mud of Main street
back into the country on their wagon
wheels.
The village meeting held last Tuesday
evening was the most quiet on record.
There was no balloting and not much ex-
element over anything. The reports of
the different officers were read and accept
ed The old board of trustees were elected
for another year. Ell. G. Pierce was elected ]
