Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1898-06-04
On the Corner.

"BOttled up" III the NellS hi''i Avn
road yard under the frame OF the trav-
cling derrick the club met last hlgh'
while the Inspector looked on from
above as he Heard the praises OF the
Critic sung from the crowd assembled.
The minutes of the last meeting having
been spread upon the records the cl''D
was ready to hear the report OF the oele-
gate sent to investigate the branch cluD
at Chelsea. This member stated that
the Shiretown members bad decided TO
engage in the stage business and woulo
put on another stage between this CITY
and that handsome town, as in the oplli-
ion of the Chelsea members it was al
most certain that the place needed anoth-
cr stage. The agent also reported tha'
Chelsea would make strong KICK
against any division of the county or the
placing of any town in Washington
county. Well as the Inspector views the
matter who can blame them? In re-
gard to the stage business it would
seem that the club are in error, and
that already there are plenty of modes
of transportation between this city and
our neighbors at Chelsea. Regarding
the division of the county it is one of the
idle rumors that come rs often as a
change in Vermont weather. No Or
ange county town will be taken from
the county for long time to come, and
unless affairs take very sudden change
Orange county will remain intact. Only
a few scheming politicians desire any
change.
The members of the club were given
much enjoyment as a wise lad who had
Just joined the club told of the adven-
lures of one Billy, a six-foot giant who,
anxious to get into the good graccs OF
one Of The Granite City's charming dam
sells, proceeded to spend an entire day
assisting the young lady washing board
ing house dishes, and doing other house
hold work, but when the evening was al
hand the young man, the would-be ola
dies Man," was doomed to be dissap-
pointed, for he discovered the tickle
ness of woman, for the young lady for
whom he had toiled at the dishwashing
table did not know him, and now "they
never speak as they pass by"
The main question of the evening was
the action of the government in reject
ing the postoffice bid offered by the city
council. A majority of the club We're
boiling mad at the council, and claimed
that the city fathers had purposely made
their bids on other than proper blanks
and that the various conditions were
made simply because the council were
following the wishes Of the mayor and
with every expectation that the govern
ment would never accept the bid. Such
men were denounced as not being able
to understand the wishes of the voters.
and various other slanderous remarks
We're made against the council. Now
the Inspector would notify these
"Chronic Kickers," who never did and
never will be of any benefit to this city,
that the city council has done exactly
right in being careful in making any
trades with the United States govern
ment. Where shall the postoffice be To-
Gated, in Miles Curriers' or Morse's
block? The club will probably decide
the question in very few days. And
of course when such an organization de-
cldes the question there will be no need
OF any additional investigation by the
postof1ice department.
The club are showing their patriotism
in very effectual way and have al
ready ordered three carloads of tooth
picks for the boys of Company f. Noble
club, what great gift for our heroes
The "razor-back hog" would look well
roasted on fire made of the toothpicks.
What other use they could be to to COM
PIANO E is the question that perhaps the
Critic will answer for
