NOTABLE EVENT.
Saturday afternoon, August q, the neigh
pors and friends paid visit to Mr.. and Mrs.
Lew Burt, it being Mrs. Burt's Seth birthday
MRS. Burt was born August 27, 1872, her
maiden name being Mary Jane FLOYD, and
she is a sister of the late Harry Floyd of
Westminster. Between 60 and 70 years ago
she married Levi Burt of the south part of
Walpole, who was born May IL, 1872. They
are both quite smart for people of their years
and enjoyed the gathering at their home.
Among the guests was William Hooper of
Walpole, who was born in February, 1872.
he walked 10 and from Mr.. Burt's, dis
tance OF two miles each way, not from neces-
sity but from choice, as'he preferred to walk.
among the guests from out of town were
Mr.. and Mrs Bacon and two daughters from
Buffalo, N. Y, and Miss Fuller of Rutland,
vt. Mr.. Burt when young man played the
bass viol in church and he now feels quite
proud of his instrume1 and although he dill
not play on it he brought it out and showed
it with evident delight. He sang hymn of
the olden time very finely. Miss Fuller also
sang some very beautiful pieces. Miss Fuller
is one of the best alto singers and also fine
performer on the piano. The music, both
vocal and instrumental, was of the best
The crowning feature was the tables which
were spread out under the trees and were SO
feet long, bountifully loaded with cakes, ice
cream, coffee, bananas, watermelons and
apples. Much credit is due their son, Alonzo
Burt, for the beautiful arrangement of the
fruit and cakes on the tables. A large birth
q lay cake with the years 1872, 1898, in the
frostlng on the top was the gift of Mrs.
Henry Graves and looked very we'll. Mrs.
Burt exhibited cake which was presented
to her on her 80th birthday. Between 40 and
oO guests took supper with them and right
social good time they enjoyed. The presents
were pretty and useful. Mrs. Burt has only
three relatives on her side, outside of her |
own family, nephew and two nieces. Mr.. |
Burt has goodly number of relatives but |
lew OF them we're present. Mr.. Burt's son, |
Alonzo, lives at home with his parents |
Eighty.six years is long time when we look |
ahead but the past seems short. May Mr.. |
and Mrs. Burt be spared to celebrate good /
many more birthdays and all as pleasantly as |
this one. Mr.. and Mis-. Burt live in the |
south part of Walpole.

On the Congo.

The Congo railroad has been COM
pleted at last 1t has cost hundreds Of
lives and vast sum OF money. Eight
years ago last March the first sod was
turned for the building of this railroad.
and on March 16, this year, the loco
motive stood at last on the shores Of
Stanley Pool, at Dolo, the inland term.-
nus of the road. From this point the
fifty steamboats, that are plying on the
upper Congo may load with freight
brought by the cars and carry it many
hundreds of miles on the main river or
on it's northern and southern tributa-
ries to the heart Of inner Africa The
great fact is that 10000 miles of navi-
gable waterways in the interior of Af-
rica have been placed in steam COM
munication with America and Europe
by the completion OF this railroad.
