Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1900-11-12

The story is being told that certain
worthy democrat who lives short distance
from this village drove in to town We'd
nesday to get the election returns. 1t
might seem that he had been certain of
Bryan's election and had laid in rather
heavily in expectation of a celebration for
when he was prepared to return to his
home he went for his team, carefully un-
hitched the halter took it in his hand and
started on foot for his home. When he
reached there his wife took him in hand
and soon succeeded in getting him in a
suita bic condition to return for the team
which he accordingly proceeded to do.
Fortunately the horse was accustomed to
standing without hitching and was found
quietly awaiting the owners return.
Mrs. Ida V. Woodbury. gave an exceed
ingly interesting talk on the work of
the American Board of Missions at the
Cong1. vestry last Monday evening.
She spoke of the future of the black peo-
ple-now nearly ten millions in number
enough to people the western half of the
United States and New England, exclusive
of Rhode Island, with a population equally
as great as at present. Of these, thousands
at this time cannot read their ballot. The
cold white star that shone upon the Negro
when freed, must be vitalized, and this is
work for the church and school. The
sMountain Whites, :" the Rip Van Wrinkles
of this century, most interesting people,
were wildly pictured in their homes
where Mrs. Woodbury. has been. Some
j. e IL
sake of education were given. These peo-
pie have an especial claim upon US from
the fact that they were largely instru-
mental in preserving the union in the
Civil war, commanding an advantage of
position that might easily have tdrned the
scale the other way. Much progress has
been made here in recent years while
much remains to be done.
