Successful Fishing Trip-Nit.

There are several would-be-catchers
OF fish in town who are not SAVING
much about a recent expedition that
was organized with the intention of
beating anything of the kind that ever
originated in Bradford. For a week
or more the members of this crusade
laid their plans, consulted the latest
authorities on the art of fishing and
mud worms and mapped out a menu
for their wives to provide. 1t was to
be the fishing event of the season.
Amateurs like H. J. Kemp, L, r,
Woods, V. A Doty, H. E. Prescott, F.
E. Prichard, Warren Goodwin, ct
cetera, were to be made ashamed of
the little strings they imagined were
boys at a circus when told of what
these experts with rod and line, these
old hands in selecting the finest fish
from brook or pond, had accomplished
in few hours. Saturday afternoon
the expedition left town. In it were
John Strong, Ira Rowland, w. H.
Noyes, George Hardy, E. B. Shumway
and three Of his men. The last words
to their wives was to have the griddle
hot on their return, ready to make
them good meal of fish on short no.
tice. Arlington pond, fifteen miles
from here was the destination. They
arrived there at about p. m., loaded
with provisions, fishing paraphernalia
and bait that was warranted to catch,
kill or cure. Judging from the result
the killing power was the strongest
for after spending several hours on
the pond in search of hornpouts these
fishermen only succeeded in extricat-
ing from the water two small bass.
They then retired for the night. rest
ing their bodies on new mown hay in
a hay loft and dreaming the sweet
dreams of sharks and whales that
honest fishermen tell about catching.
Sunday was spent in divers ways and
it is said that an impromptu prayer
meeting was led by Noyes though
some are a bit disinclined to believe
this. Anyway the entire catch of fish
was two bass and those were caught
Saturday night. The expedition re-
turned Sunday afternoon. They
found the griddle hot but the griddle
foundeth not the fish. From a good
time standpoint the trip was a success,
but that's all. The eyes of the anna
teurs remain normal in size but the
mouths are inclined to expand when
these experts walk by with an humbled
appearance.

Wrongly Stated.

A sketch of the life of the Rev. HI.
T. Barnard in the Express and Stand
ard and which the Barton Monitor
copies by request, contains these SEN
tcrEes "Mr. Barnard leaves his pres
ent pastorate because of the financial
embarrassment of the town and church.
During his five years ministry in Brad
ford he has raised $4,000 for the church
and 5000 for missons." The author of
the article was misinformed. In COM
pany with the people of numerous
other Vermont towns and of villages,
towns and cities throughout the coun-
try the people of Bradford have suf-
fered financially during the hard times
but the above statement is entirely
wrong. The town is not and has not
been financially embarrassed. There
is not more beautiful village in Yer
mont than Bradford and probably not
one of its size so well equipped with
modern cOnvepiences, such as water
system, concrete walks, electric lights,
etc. Everything is well kept up and
there is nothing to indicate financial
embarrassment. Mr.. Barnard will
leave town with nothing due him from
the church. Finances have nothing to
do with his departure. A new minis
ter will be engaged and his salary
raised. The church will continue to
do good work as it has in the past.
The $4,000 raised during the past five
years was not raised by Mr.. Barnard.
1t was raised by the church for church
expenses. 1t was raised by commit
tees and officers appointed for that
purpose. With the 5000 raised for
missions Mr.. Barnard is in part re-
sponsible. The article was evidently
written by one who knew little about
Bradford and who was given his in
by some one not over par
ticular about giving people facts, and
winch if given truthfully would not
have left an unfavorable impression of
our thrifty village and it's sturdy and
honorable church and society.

Sudden Death of Mrs. Gosha.

Mrs. Thomas Gosha died suddenly
about / o'clock Tuesday morning. She
was about Monday, working all day, and
was seen on the street that evening ap-
parently as well as usual. For some
years she had been hard sufferer from
asthma. Not long after retiring Monday
evening she was evidently taken with a
bad attack of her trouble. Mr.. Gosha
awoke about midnight and found his wife
at the outside door, in the open air, strug-
Cling for breath. He got her some water
and held her in his arms for awhile but,
seeing she failed to improve, left her Just
long enough to run across the field to +.
0. Kennedy's for help. He returned in
about ten minutes with Mrs. Kennedy.
But it was 100 late. During his. brief alb
sence Mrs. Gosha had expired. Heart
failure was undoubtedly the cause OF her
death.
Mrs GoSha was born at Three Rivers,
2. e., SO years ago. Her maiden name
was Elmira Gaudette. When IA years old
she married Thomas Gosha in Lyndon,
vile. Right after their marriage Mr.. and
Mrs. Gosha came to Bradford, where
they have since lived with the exception
of a few years between 1865 and 1870, that
they spent in Lyndonville. She is sur

The inteTment was in the cemetery on

was a well-knOwn person in most of the

A Splendid Entertainment.

The song recital by Misses Florence

pupils of Marie Seymour Bissell OF
New York city, assisted by Miss Alma
Mabel Clough, pianist and elocution-

church Wednesday evening was a

program consisted of eleven numbers,
varied, well selected and splendidly
rendered. Miss Florence Sturtevant
sings soprano and Miss Alice Sturte-
want alto. Both have excellent voices,
sweet, clear, of good volume and har-
monizing perfectly. The way they
handle their voices, the ability with
which they interpret the spirit of the
compositions and their stage appear
ance tell of natural talent cultivated
by hard and faithful study under the
best instructors. The concert was a
