A Corn Husking.

A merry party of about 40 St. Johns
bury young people hired Austin Morrill's
bus and went to Ora N. Drew's in North
Danville last Thursday evening to attend
a corn husking. The party was shown
to the barn, where there were about 200
bushels of corn waiting to be husked
and the young people attacked this with
such vigor that it was all cleanly husked
in about hour and half. 1t was then
announced that supper was ready and
the young people repaired to the dining
room where substantial supper was
served. 1t is useless to enumerate the
articles served, as it was supper the
like of which only a farmers wife can
make, but if there was one thing that
will be remembered longer than any
other it will he the delicious pumpkin
pies, which disappeared as if by magic.
After supper Mr.. Drew opened his house
and the young people enjoyed good
time until late hour. Mr.. Drew gave
the husking at the request of the young
people and it was much appreciated.

Stockholders Meeting

A meeting of the stockholders Of the
st. Johnsbury Shoe Co. was held in the
Board Of Trade rooms last Saturday
evening to make definite arrangements
about closing up the affairs OF the com.
pany. After very warm discussion
about winding up the affairs, ballot
was taken and the directors were in
structed to close up the affairs to the
best possible advantage and divide the
proceeds among the stockholders. Many
letters have been received in regard to
running the factory. but one from c,
Languine, a man now in France was the
most businesslike. This gentleman
claims to know the shoe bus:sess thor
oughly and returns from France about
the first OF December, and will come here
and start the factory himself If proper in.
ducements are offered, or will run it as a
corporation with good, substantial men
behind HIM. This letter was we'll receiv'
ed and it is possible that there may be
some arrangement yet made by which
the factory may be run as benifit to
the town.
1t seems that there is now on hand the
machinery, building, heater and $21O0
in cash and when everything is disposed
of there will be from $500 to $500 on
each share of stock to divide. 1t would
take from $1,000 to $4,000 as work
ing capital to run the factory and 1t was
the general opinion that money enough
had been spent and that it was best to
close up at once as the building was
growing old, the me chinery rusting and
the rent going on.
Qhite lively discussion was had in re-
gard to the directors buying the $4,000
worth OF stock from c. A. Calderwood,
as some OF the miner stockholders
thought that the directors were over
reaching them and would get about 100
cents on the dollar while they would get
only about 20 cents. This was denied
by the directors who said they would
share all losses with the others.
It.appears that there is some irregular
ity about the lease of land on which the
building stands, but it is thought that
this can be satisfactorily settled.

The Nelson Will Case.

This case which is being tried in the
Orleans county court involves about
$40, 900 and is being tried by some OF
the best lawyers in the state. The case
has occupied the attention Of the court
for month and will not be completed
this week. The lawyers for the will OF
B. M. X. Nelson are W. P. Stafford, John
Young Of Newport and Mr.. Miles OF
Barton. The lawyers for the contes.
tants of the will, Lizzie G. and George H.
Davis, are Henry c. Bates, Charles A.
Prouty, now of Washington. and F. w.
Baldwin OF Barton. The case is an ap-
peal from county court admitting the
will to probate, and the contestants
claim the paper purporting to be the
will is not such; that its execution was
produced by undue influence; that Nelson
was not OF sound and disposing mind.
They also claim that Nelson was under
contract with the contestants not to
make the disposition OF the property as
provided in the will. The Importance OF
the case keeps two of the attorneys
away from the legislature, Senator-elect
Young and Henry c. Bates, the leuten-
ant. t.governor-elect.

Woman's Club.

The regular October meeting OF the
Woman's Club was lecture by Miss
Frances ]. Dyer Of Boston upon "The
New Marvels OF Science" This meeting
was under the auspices of no especial
committee, but was arranged for by the
president, Mrs. Ruthy Fairbanks. For
an hour Miss Dyer held the interest of
her hearers as she spoke Of the advances
in science during the last century, touch
ing upon telegraphy, the telephone and
the phonograph and dwelling upon the
possibilities of each. Miss Dyers de-
scription of the transmission by tele.
graph from Key West to Boston, of the
half-tone pictures of General Maxine
Gomez and the American cruiser Mont
gomery was most interesting.
AS motive power electricity is accom-
plishing marvels, but compressed air, the
cinderella of Mechanical Arts" bids
fair to become its rival. Making an ap-
shown how the evils OF tenement life in
the large cities are being overcome by
the application of hygienic laws to every
day living. Following so closely upon
the scientific lecture by Prof. Bracket
last month this meeting was one oi
special renewed interest.
In current events Mrs. Helen Higgins
gave a review of Events of National
and International Interest" and proved
that we are living in an era OF confidence
and good feeling. The paper closed with
this conundrum:
why is the emblem of the United
States more enduring than that O
France, England, Scotland or Ireland p
The answer is found in the following
verse;
"The lily blooms but day,
The rose from its stem must sever,
| The thistle and shamrock decay,
| But the stars shine on foreverl"

Pleasant Words.

Pringle, son of A. B. Pringle of st.
Johnsbury Center, will be interested in
the following paragraph in the Congre-
gationalist concerning Eastport, Me:
"The city is prosperous this year and it
is likely to make marked strides in the
future by reason OF the near completion
OF the Shore Line Railway. For the first
time in its history the whistle of loco
motive was heard here few days ago.
The church has been making steady
growth in every direction ever since the
pastorate of Rev. H. N. Pringle began,
eighteen months ago, and the people are
greatly encouraged. The house of wor-
ship is now in excellent repair and the
society is in good condition to exert a
leading influence in the expanding life of

Getting Ready to Face the Music.

Arrangements for the seasons work
by the Choral Union are moving along
smoothly, and already over ninety sing
ers have given their names as members
of the chorus. The first rehearsal is
booked for Tuesday evening. Nov. 1, and
by that time it is confidently expected
that there will be membership OF 125
or over. The cooperation of every
singer in St. Johnsbury is invited, in
order that the success of the seasons
work may be even more signal than
ever before. Membership tickets for the
chorus can be had OF the treasurer, H.
E. Smith, at the First National Bank, as
well as of the secretary, c. H. Horton,
and also at Bingham's drug store. 1t is
hoped that all who have given their
names will get their tickets as soon as
possible, in order that the membership
may be in readiness for full evenings
work at the first rehearsal. Mr.. Blais-
dell, who has so successfully directed the
chorus for the past three years, will con.
duct the rehearsals, and this fact is a
guarantee of irst.class musical discipline
for all who attend. 1t is proposed to
sell, in addition to the regular chorus
membership tickets, what may be known
as patrons, or associate members
tickets; these will be sold at the same
price as the others. So, and will admit
the holder to attendance at the rehears-
ais during the season, and can be ex-
changed, when festival week arrives, for
full set Of concert tickets, including
reserved seats. These tickets are for the
use of all who are interested in music
and the Choral Union work generally,
but who do not themselves sing; and it
is hoLed that large number OF patrons
or associate members may be secured.

Curious Clocks.

c. E. Simanton has on exhibition two
very interesting clocks. One is run
by electricity and is marvel of in
genuity and simplicity. 1t contains only
FIVE wheels and is run by two storage
batteries. AS the pendulum is started
the arc gradually grows smaller until it
comes in contact with magnet which
draws the pendulum out again. This
operation is repeated over and over
again and is so accurate that the clock is
perfect time piece.
The other one is made entirely by
A. S. Haskins and N. r. Young. The
frame is made OF wood and represents n
house with a windmill pump attached.
AT each quarter hour the wheels are set
in motion and the pump works to per-
lection for two or three minutes. 1t is a
beautiful piece of workmanship ana is
also correct time-piece.

fault of offers no, the law. Friday a
large delegation from the convention
enjoyed an excursion to Benning ton.
