spicuous among which was an immense

Come to the Fair.

Tie Caledonia County Fair next week
promises to be the most successful fair
ever held in St. Johnsbury and if the
weather is good there will be great
crowd here the last two days. The rail-
roads have made special rates and will
run extra trains in all directions and the
people will be here. With so many new
and novel attractions the people cannot
fail to be entertained, while the entries
already received by the secretary show
that there will be plenty of live stock and
produce and good Floral Hall display.
Mr.. Eastman has arranged to exhibit his
phonograph on small platform and ex-
poets that everybody on the grand
stand can hear his wonderful machine.
The japanese day fireworks will interest
all as they have never been shown here
before. Prof Bonette is general favor
lite here and his hot air balloon ascen-
sions on Wednesday and Thursday alter
moons will attract large crowd. The
vaudeville performance between the heats
on the days of the races are another new
feature that will be sure to please. Carl
Turner has received about 100 entries
for the bicycle parade and it will be the
hnest ever seen in St. Johnsbury. Taken
altogether the management believe they
have arranged for the best iair that has
yet been held in St. Johnsbury.

Woman's Club.

The social science committee furnished
the programme for the September meet
ing of the Womans Club and Mrs.
Laura Merrill, chairman of the commit
tee, presided. A paper, "The Value of
Fads," by Mrs. Lila Patterson was first
given in which was brought to notice
many OF the prevailing fads. Some were
deprecated and Others were suggested
which might be made valuable helps to
comfortable living. The paper abounded
in wit and good sense.
The last part Of the afternoon was
given to talk by Prof. S. Fl. Bracket
on "The Mitigation of Human Suffering
due to Recent Scientific Discoveries" As
to science in general all scientific work
is in the line of the higher culture and the
devotees of science have always been
ready to give their time for the investi.
CATION of truth, finding their reward in
the pursuit of knowledge in itself. Aside
from the discovery of anasthelics, that
OF the Roentgen or X ravs is one of the
greatest achievements of modern times.
By electrical demonstrations, supple.
mented by blackboard drawings, it was
shown how the test of this wonderful
discovery is being applied to surgical
work. The lecture was illustrated with
photographs taken by Prof. Bracket
with the microscope.
Current events were given in three
minute talks by Mrs. Martha Titcomb
and Mrs. Abbie Perkins on Vacation
Rambles." Mrs. Titcomb gave an ac.

Company d at Home.

A telegram was received Saturday from
Camp Olympia to the effect that Com
pany would arrive in st. Tohnsbury
Sunday at about 1890. Although the
time was short the citizens hustled
around and made preparations for a
fitting reception for the company.
AT about half past 12 the grounds
around the depot literally swarmed with
people and there must have been nearly
5000 spectators present. The train was
about 80 minutes late and when it did
arrive was received with salute which
plainly showed the feeling of the crowd.
AS the train rolled into the station
numerous railroad torpedoes were dis
charged and cheers burst forth from
thousands of throats. As the company
alighted they were surrounded by rela-
tives and friends and many touching
scenes occurred as they were greeted.
Finally line was formed which con-
sisted Of detachment OF police, the St.
Johnsbury Band, the Boys Brigade,
Chamberlin Post and Company D, headed
by Maj. Bonnet. AS they marched up
the avenue lined with people the air was
filled with cheers for the company, it's
gallant major and captain. The pro-
cession moved to the Armory, where the
boys were served with an abundant re-
past provided by the ladies.
1t was a day Of gladness for the SOL
diers and for the people Almost no
mournful faces were to be seen and the
boys were received with smiles and
laughter and hearty congratulations
Although the boys have seen no actual
fighting, their thin faces and worn ex-
preston showed the privations which
they have undergone in the last three
months. For time after the boys
entered the Armorv they were surrounded
and greeted by relatives and friends.
Rev. Thomas Tyrie, acting as chaplain
OF the day, requested that the doxology
be sung, after which he offered PRAYER,
and the boys seated themselves at the
table to enjoy the repast which awaited
them.
When the Vermont Regiment was
given 30 days furlough a number of
men were Obliged to remain at Camp
Olympia and do guard duty, and three
were taken from company D. The ones
left for guard duty are Corporal Morris
and Privates Smith and DeMarche.
