Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-03-16

the city for the past few weeks, called
here by the death of her brother, the
late Perley Chandler, left last night
for her home in Paw Paw, Mich.
Mrs. w. G.. Kimball of Worcester,
Mass, who has been spending the
winter in the city with relatives, left
last night for Northfield, where she
will remain for few days before re-
turning to Worcester.
The Rev. Mr.. Mitchell of Alimonte,
Ontario, arrived in the city today.
He will assist at the exercises at the
Presbyterian church tonight and will
remain several days in the city with
his brother Rev. r. II. Mitchell.
Yesterday was sad day for those
who depend upon Vlles' Electric pow
er to run their machinery 1t has
been almost year since similar diff.
ficulty has been caused by suspen-
sion of the power from that source,
but accidents are bound to happen and
the TELEGRAM must suffer from such
occurrences as much as every one else.
If advertisers have any desire to
reach the people of the surrounding
towns and also majority of the peo-
pie within the city limits, there is but
one course for them to follow. That
is to advertise in the TELEGRAM. A
good business man always acts accord
ing as his best Judgment teaches him
will be most beneficial to him. Hence
a good advertiser naturally desires to
place his advertising where it will
reach the largest number of people.
The TELEGRAM subscription books
are always open to the inspection of
advertising patrons.
The local milliners are returning
from their trips to the large cities to
attend the spring markets, and they
have laid in good stock Of fancy
head gear for the inspection of the
ladies in this vicinity. The other To-
Cal merchants are also making prepa-
rations for lively spring trade, and
we most sincerely advise our readers
to visit the metropolitan stores of
Barre before making their necessary
purchases elsewhere. 1t will not only
encourage the enterprising merchants
of the Granite City to give the great
est possible satisfaction to the public,
but the patrons themselves will find
that they can secure better bargains
and more up to date goods at Barre
stores than anywhere else in Yer
mont.
Rev. Et1ie X. M. Jones will give
lecture in the Hedding Methodist
church next Tuesday evening, March
20, on Unlversalism. This will be
the third lecture given by our local
pastors on their own denomination in
the Methodist church, and it is desir-
ed that all the young peoples societies
will be represented in large numbers,
for it is for the young people especial
ly that these lectures are intended,
although everybody is cordially invit-
ed to them. The purpose of the lee
lures is for the information and literary
value we derive from them. We are
always glad to hear Mrs. Jones any
where and every where, and we are
sure of an interesting discourse from
her this evening. This lecture
will be free to all and will begin at s
o'clock.
A good word can be said for Alder
man Abram Mann for his avowed
course of action at the first meeting
of the aldermen. The set of rules
governing the preceding boards of al
dermen was presented for adoption.
The rules were all right and Mr.. Mann
had no reason to doubt their excel
lence. But he declared his intention
of never voting upon any subject with
out first Investigating it, or without
having a thorough. knowledge of the
matter under consideration. He was
informed by one of the veterans of
the board that he would have to vote
upon lots of things he didn't know
anything about, but he stuck to his
principle just the same, and the prin-
ciple seems to be good one, even if
itEoes conflict with any ideas firmly
established by long usage.
