"The Only Newspaper"

What the prominent citizen said few
days ago about the TELEGRAM being
about "a hours ahead of any other Barre
paper seems to he true, and it can also
be said to be As hours ahead OF any

The EVENING TELEGRAM Saturday
published the account of the Washing
ton County Democratic Convention,
The editor who darcs publish the as
sertion that he owns the only newspaper
in Barre comes out As hours later with
practically the same account.
All things come to those who wait
but do the people of Barre prefer &c
wait "a or As houls for the news when
they can get it on time?
Our City Attorney and City Constable
were both nominated for County offices
Was this of any interest to Barre people
or could they just as well wait is hours:

Waste Basket Mistakes.
BY TIE OFFICE KID.

We rode to the capital last night in
one of those closed cars and were happy
TO witness the fact that no heads were
smashed by coming i'll contact with
trees and poles.
The Kid fears a strong attack OF the
blues unless the ice cream man comes
down in price, or we take course 10
cure our craving for the frozen.
People on Elm Street Monday after
noon would have guessed that the
Mayor was under "marching orders
judginc by the way he hustled along
with we'll known citizens OF that locality
The "only newspaper" gave some
alleged news last night in the announce
ment that the Democrats OF this county
had nominated certain men for county
Offices. We remember looking at them
in another Barre paper Saturday. What
speed.
The City Attorney is in demand these
days. He ought to have a special trolly
car for his private use.
With the city Judge and the trial JUS
tee arrayed there is likely to be large
crowd in the court room.
Think of there being an excursion te
Plattsburg last Saturday and not al
arrest on Sunday. The Kid Is glad tt
sly Il a. Barre has only temperate citi
ZenS.
The Kid fears some of the motermer
and conductors will have to change
their height if the winter cars are to bt
used all The time.
There is a musical organization il
the city that the Kid intends to take tt
the Central telephone Office soon an(
have them give a concert for the whole
city. DO any of the members object
There are number of city officials
that the Kid hears are first class check
er players, just come round to the OF
flee some day, and let me get hold O.
you and there will be "vacant chairs
around the checker table.
There was such heavy shower las
night, that my sister stayed at home

The heavy rain of yesterday turned
the streets into vast rivers and lakes,
and when electric car number 10 at
tempted to run up Washington Street
hill against the current they found more
than they bargained for. The water
flowing down the hill had deposited
about four inches of sand on top of the
rails at the bottom, and when the car
struck this they, of course instantly
grounded. The electrical display which
followed was very brilliant. After
trying several times they at last sue
cecdcd in backing back, then the con-
ductor and moterman secured shovels
and worked for ten minutes digging out
the rails. They started up the hill with
a rush and when last seen were still
going.

CINDER PATH MAY BE BUILT HL-
TWEEN BARRE AND MONTPELIER.

For the past two years at various
times the bicycle riders in this vicinity
have been considering the building of
some kind of a cycle path between this
city and Montpelier. Within the past
week the question has again been agi-
tated by many bicycle riders and it is
now proposed to call meeting in the
near future for the purpose of consider
ing the construction of such path.
1t is likely that the meeting will be
ncld in this city some time within the
next two weeks. when the estimated
cost of such road Or path will be pre-
scented by those who have investigated
the matter.
The promoters of the plan have fgur-
ed that if each bicycle rider in Barre
and Montpelier would contribute one
dollar for the fund that enough money
could be secured to build u cinder path
