The l4Ist Anniversary Of
the Birth Of Robt. Burns
OBSERVED BY LOCAL CLUB
The Affair was a Great Lite
erary Treat and was a
Most Enjoyable One

For the ninth time in the history
OF the Burns Club in Barre the
members of that organization gath
cred last night in Miles hall to pay
homage to the peasant king of song
and verse, the peoples bard whose
name and works are now and ever
will be enduring in every nation and
in every cline, Robert Burns of Scot =
land. There were but 35 out of the
80 members present, owing to the
fact that several of them have left
the city, but those who remain did
full justice to the occasion and pro-
duced literary treat that is rare in
deed. Each member of the club is a
thorough student of Burns and their
gathering together signifies that not
only will the hours passed be happy
ones, but instructive as we'll.
The hall was decorated with large
number of pictures representing scenes
and faces portrayed in Burns poems,
and over the stage was hung portrait
of the poet upon background of the
Union Jack and Stars and Stripes, on
either side of which was portrait of
Abraham Lincoln and of the statue of
William Wallace.
Dancing was INDUCED in during the
evening, excellent music being furn-
ished by Messrs. Angus, Morgan and
Edwards.
The exercises were opened with
grand march led by President and
Mrs. Robert 1nglis followed by Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Campbell and the
rest of the party. This was brought
to close with Scotch reel danced
to the inspiring strains of the bagpipe
played by Piper George Edwards.
After this, all took their seats at
the well laden banquet tables. Presi-
dent Inglis arose and made some very
appropriate remarks, the substance
of which was that once more the club
was gathered together to tell in song
and story of their undying love and
admiration for Burns and their father
land and to celebrate the 141st ami
versary of the birth of one who of all
others shall be dear to the hearts of
Scotchmen us long as the world lasts
Few of us one year ago would have
believed it possible that the following
January we could sit down to Our sup
per with the knowledge that the
Burns monument was clear of all
debt, but such is the case.
The first number on the program
was the singing of the song "There
Was Lad Was Born in Kyle" by
Messrs. James Anderson and Robert
Inglis, Mrs. Charles Laing and Mrs.
William Morrison.
This was followed by the clubs
tribute to Robert Burns and it was
ably responded to by Chas. Campbell.

London, Jan. 26.-Probably as the
immediate effect of the abandonment
Of Spion Kop by Gen. Warren, orders
have been issued to have the fourth
cavalry division in readiness to en-
bark early in February.
London, Jan. 26.-Gen. Butler re-
ports the British casualties Jan. "a as
follows: Killed. officers six, non-com-
mssoned men IS. Wounded, officers
-, non-commssioned men 142. Miss.
ing, 81 men.
The despatch is dated this morning,
so there is no delay between Gen. Bull
lcr and the war Office.
The killed include Col. Buchanan
and Riddell Kings, of the Royal
Rifles.
1t is not clear whether the casual
ties include Spion Kop or not.
London, Jan. 2G.-Advices have
been received from Spearman S camp
that Gen. Woodgate has snccumbed
to the wounds he received in the
attack upon Spion Kop.
London, Jan. 26. The scout f. r.
Burnham, now on his way back to
South Africa, expressed considerable
satisfaction at the news Of the capture
.of Spioa kop. He said to a representa-
tive of the Associated Press:
" 1t is evident that the Boer posi-
tion is being shaken, and I do not
think it will be long business now to
drive the Beers out of the Drakensberg
hills. We shall then reach a rolling,
open country, where there is chance
to display tactics and undertake flank
ing movements and cavalry operations.
But the Beers are sure to make a
most determined stand around Pret-
oria. 1t will not take long to reach
the Boer capital, but the siege of
Pretoria will be both long and diff
cult. =
Burnham sails for South Africa Sat
urday on the steamer Scot, totake up
his appointment on Field Marshal
Lord Roberts personal staff. He says
Ingram, another scout, leaves San
Franc isco forthwith to join him in
South Africa.

SUGAR MAKERS s.TTENTIoN
An Appeal to Atte2. tie Annual
Meeting Feb. 9TH.


Since the members of the Maple
Sugar Makers association hold their
annual meeting at this village next
week, Feb. 7th and Sth, it is to be
hoped that all who are interested es-
pecially those who are engaged in the
manufacture of sugar will be in at
tendance. It seems clear that this
industry, on which Vermont holds a
patent, owing to its geographical To-
cation and climatic conditions, ought
to be so managed as to be among the
most profitable of her harvests.
While most sugar makers are aware
that a Sugar Makers association
exists, and that it's works for market
ing are located in this town, but few
understand what the purposes, aims,
objects, etc, of this organization are
The question is often asked, ''What
does this organization stand for? In
what way can we, as sugar producers,
receive benefit from it? Now, gentle
men, will you give your time to come
and hear these thousand-and-one ques-
tions answered by men who are en-
gagged in this enterprise and who are
engaged in this enterprise and who
are supposed to know whereof they
speak?
While it is not certain nor perhaps
expected that every sugar maker in
the land will become a convert to all
the notions and methods suggested by
this organization, yet information
may be gained, some ideas may be
brought out, some facts arrived at
that will be of immeasurable help
along the lines of making and mark
citing this delicious sweet. 1t is by
means of discussions, drawn out be-
cause of holding these meetings and
Institutes, that we are able to arrive
at entelligent conclusions.
Practical experience and scientific
knowledge are not infrequently made
to harmonize in such gatherings-a
combination that no farmer who eX-
poets success to crown his labors will
fail to make use Of. If there be a
class of farmers, as is often alleged,
that do not leave their work or give
themselves time to think, let them
avail themselves of this opportunity
to hear those who have given thought
to the subject in question, and there
by reap the benefit of their thinking.
We believe in the holding of such
meetings and that they broaden the
field of intelligence and develop a
higher standard of thought and ac-
tion.
Please remember the dates and bear
in mind that the word is "Welcome. :"
Low rates for board and good services
will be extended to all. If any fail to
secure such, please do us the favor to
report at once to V. l. Spear, or Dana
H. Morse. Randolph, vt.

Spion Kop could only be held at a
frightful cost of brave men, and the
garrison that evacuted the hill Sc
easily and pretended to be surprised
were only doing their part in well
planned coupe. The terrific hail
storm of shot and shell that the Beers
poured upon that hill was more than
flesh and blood could stand, and Gen.
