entertainment and should draw good


made up from the Summer School students
| on the fair ground last Friday afternoon.
| The students had not practieed together,
consequently they were unable to put up
very scientific game. Score 20 to 4 in
| favor of the village team.
| The village sidewalks are being repaired
! in very good shape. The plank walks
have been fixed up and strengthened, and
concrete is being put in from the Jenness
| corner up Church street; the walk at this
end of the street is to be covered over with
concrete so as to make it higher and
wider.
We desire to extend our thanks and ap-
probation to those who sympathized and
helped us during the sad trial attending
| the death of our husband and father. To
| the Orders assisting and to those friends
whose proffered help was received we are
under especial obligations.

W. Fl. Ford, who will be remembered as
a former station master here, but for the
past few years has served as clerk for H.
E. Folsom of Lyndonville, has been ap-
pointed train master of the Passumpsic
division of the Boston & Maine road. In
making this appointment the officials of
the road have paid deserved compliment
to his ability Mr.. Ford is a young man
and by diligence and careful attention to
his business has gained the position he
now holds
Mr. H. w. Morgan of Boston, who has
been stopping at Hotel Barton for some
time, is talking of settling in this village.
His brother, F. B. Morgan, who is now in
California, will come here and they will go
into business together. Mr.. Morgan is
trying to hire some rooms for store, but
if he fails in this they may build block.
Mr.. Morgan is a young man who seems to
have plenty of pluck and enterprise and if
he and his brother settle in this village
they Will receive the hearty support of the
people.
II. M. Maxson, one of the Summer
School instructors, lectured last Thursday
evening on Switzerland. He spoke of its
beautiful lakes and other scenery; of the
people and their political organizations;
he also spoke of their love of liberty. He
told of their way of living, etc. He also
spoke of some of the vices to be found in
quite an idea of life in Switzerland. The
lecture was interesting.
G. FL. Libben exhibited one of the Edi-
son Microscopes in Sewers hall last Sat-
urday evening. Many who attended ex-
pected it to be similaI to the fake shows
which have been along, but they were
happily surprised. Of course it could not
comprise all the things given in the large
cities, but it gaveawhat itsclained&to and
objects in motion and except that there
was no sound it was as natural as life.
The entertainment will be repeated this
evening and should draw good house.
In looking through The La,U Students
Helper, a paper published in Detroit,
Mich, we find article on Corporation
Law as Speciality, written by G. F.
Mathewson of New York. Mr.. Mathew
son treats the subject at some length,
showing the requirements ola corpora
ton lawyer and the course for the law
student to pursue if he wishes to make
speciality of this line. Mr.. Mathewson
went from this town to New York and is
now one of the firm of Strong, Harmon &
Mathewson, with a wide reputation as
very successful lawyer.
O. w. Smith of Pennsylvania, a former
resident here, was in town for few days
last week. Mr.. Smith was called to Low
ell, Mass, by the death of a brother-in-
law, and came from there to this village.
He has been appointed by the governor of
the state of Pennsylvania as delegate to
the Farmers National Congress to be held
in st. Paul, Mimi, the first of September.
The Pennsylvania papers speak OF Mr..
Smiths son, G. o. Smith, as doing a big
business as a contractor. He has just
taken the contract to build several miles
of railroad for the Erie company. We are
glad to see the Barton boys prosper,
they appear to wherever they go.
o. FL. Mossman received news Saturday
evening of the death of his daughter Ger
trude at San Bernardino, Cal. Miss Moss
man had been gaining since the operation
at the hospital was performed, and it was
thought that she might recover. The par
ticulars of her death have not been re-
ceived. Miss Mossman was born in this
village, attended the schools here and
graduated from the academy; she after
wards went to St. Johnsbury and grad
uated at the academy there. Later she
went to Boston and took course at the
Bryant & Stratton College and after grad
uating there she worked for a time a
stenographer for a firm in that city. Last
June while stopping at home she had an
attack of pleurisy with effusion from
which she never recovered. The water
settled around her heart and in the end
doubtless caused her death. East Novem-

and sister, went to California in hopes
that the change might benefit her; for
time she was thought to be gaining but
