South Barnard Saturday evening, Jan. ~. |
Altho' the night was dark and rainy, one
OF he most uncomfortable OF the whole |
winter, yet the house was packed TO the |
doors. Barnard, RridgeWater, Pomiret /
and Woodstock we're we'll represented, |
All enjoVed the fun galore. The Aihens /
family, Seth and Fred, with Alice and |
bora, took the house by storm IN the cake
walk. They seem TO be the stars OF the |
season. Much credit is due the managers,
Chas. II. Badger, Miss Julia simmons and

mosquitoes, came back to Barnard and

SHOWS and blows, heat and cold, sunshine
and shadow in Barnard and Bridgewater,
Chateaugay (5hadagee). During all this
time he has been a single maker and has
probably split, shaved and packed more
spruce shingles than any other living man
In the state OF Vermont. A few years
since he bought the Thomas Carlin farm,
running into debt for the same. Now he
has finished paving the last note, altho'
not due until next October, aud had the
pleasure Of seeing the mortgage dis
charged and the satisfaction of having a
nice home, clean and clear, with good
buildings, plenty OF fruit and 200 acres of
warm, sunny land, we'll assured that no
more moving will be required during the
evening of his life We congratulate you,
Al, on your success. Mr.. Kendall is the
father OF the only M. N. Of Bethel, the
man who killed John Jewet's wild Gal.

"FAcE ABOUT"
These words came from Hon. John f.
Fitzgerald, Democratic Congressman from
Massac husetts, to the leaders OF his party
at n meeting OF the Jackson club, Bunker
Hill St, Charlestown. Mr. Fitzgerald IS
one OF the most prominent Democrats in
Congress, and two years ago was the ouly
one In AL New England. he is ready TO !
admit that the Democratic party at the
present time is not In a good position be-
fore the people OF this country and 1t
seems to him the part OF wisdom for the !
leaders to look about them and see wheth
er they are in deep water or aground. He ,
also freely owns hat he was one who, both
in and out OF Congress, opposed the ex. J
pansion movement OF President Mckinley,
but recent study OF the situation has con-
WINGED him that the prosperous, rushing
times in all our manufacturing cities, the
whirling OF machinery and advance OF
wages, happy homes OF operatives and all
lsboring classes, is largely due to the open
door OF the East, 6
lie further says the South in manuiac- Z
turing cotton and the West In boots and &
shoes, " it'll the raw material at their doors !
have come to stay, and In competition
New England must suffer. Millions OF :
people Ia Asia and the islands OF the Pa.
cihc are nearly ready and must be clothed
and shod, so, as New England man and
one OF her representatives, MIR. Fitzgerald
is ready TO about face, rendering AL possi-
BILE aid to the administration In finding
an outside market for the great surplus OF
manufactured goods, which will soon be
turned from our mills. This, and this on.
ly, will keep our wheels in motion and
continue the present prosperity OF the
country.
One remark seems to be true, "The Re |
publican party Is always fortunate in
raising the opposition of Democrats to is
sues that eventually become popular"
Strange that the senior senator OF Mas
sachusetts, who has sulked so many days
In his tent, should be shown the right
path by this Boston Democratic Congress-
man
We are also well pleased that Geo. f.
Edmunds, Nermont's fsvorite senator in
former years, has at last pulled nimselito-
gether, later sitting by the waysldeJ
struck his gait and will be in at the finish
with the leaders.
Senator Eugene Hale, Names idol,
made one OF two breaks at the start, but
Is now going level and will not be last.
