Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1898-06-02
On the Corner.

..And the william still pursues them
was the song of the club last nlght US
they read with great surprise their "oce1
ret" meeting "of the previous night
vet they have not been able to discover
the Inspector. Having failed every hlhe
thew desired to dodge "Yours Truly
the club did not feel in the best OF humo
for their last nights meeting, and search-
ed all the afternoon for a meeting place
where they could be free from the In
spector's eyes and ears. They found !,
or at leastthought so, when at the soun
of the TIN pan quartette they assembled
in the old shed used by l.. }. Bolster as
a store house for wood, being formerly
used by the G. II. Hunton Granite Com
pany. But alas for the hopes OF these
poor outcast members of the tamous
club, they will again be doomed to dis
appointment when they learn today thar
the Inspector was hid on the roof ana
here gives the acts executed by the kick
eds last night. No discussion was made
by the Upper Set" concerning the lat
est news from the seat OF war, but the
local topics were at once taken under
consideration. The poet was on the pro-
gramme for one of his latest "fish /
Poems" but for fear of being drafted in
the second call has gone to Groton Pond
on a fishing trip. The following pro-
clamation was read by the Boss,
PARADISE FOR TAX DODGERS.
Know All Men By This Scoop:
That the city Of Barre will long be
famed in every section of the country
as the peaceful home where all men
who wish to enjoy all the modern i'm
provements of a hustling city, spend
their winters outside of the city, and
return at the opening of summer, can
rest undisturbed by the visits OF the
Assessors or Tax Collector. Come all
We millionaires, wheat kings, beef en-
perors and -four spectators, and retired
granite dealers to our tax dodgers para
disc and rest in the shade of local I'M
provements, which those who have no
fortunes with which to travel over the
earth or hunt western wild game, have
paid for that our city might be in the
front rank Our doors are open, our
city waits for more recruits of the fast
increasing colony of Barre tax dodgers"
While the Inspector has nc comments to
make on the above production yet ii has
many indications of being based on GER
tain facts which have com to the atten-
ton Of Barre people. What it means
perhaps the TELEGRAM Readers can
answer? Who knows?
But there came another subject : 6
debate, which was an occasion Of mucl
loud talk. This was the reported pur
chase of park IN the farm of Marvin
for the electric railroad company. Thu
l%oafers saw that here would be an excel
lent loafing place for the gang. Blu
the Inspector understands that loaf
ers will not be allowed there I'm
less they have five cents for a fare
Before the park matter was dropped
the Boss announced that he would short
ly appoint delegates to visit the brancl
club at Williamstown to inquire wha
inducements could be made for building
a summer line from this city to William
stown springs and have a park and no
tel erected and constructed at that place
What a Sunday afternoon outing such 8
ride would be for the Industrious work
men of this city. A west side citizen
undertook to reopen the sewer question
but having a big ''chestnut bell" with
me | gave it a sharp ring, and the club
thought it was the fire alarm, rather thar
any out of date alarm used by
TIE INSPECTOR.
