II is acknowledged at last in London
that the Boer war has been revived in a
most dangerous form. In spite OF Lord
Ritchener's rigid press censorship the
fact has trarspired that the invasion of
Cape Colony Is a serious matter, and that
the burghers have been largely re-en-
forced by the Cape Dutch, who, on the
whole. are little short of being in open
and general rebellion. The end of hos
;iiities is By no means in sight, and the
prevalent condition of European high
politics does not suggest much comfort to
the British Government.

The centennlal Anniversary.

The anniversary Of hundred years OF
Methodism in Barnard, held in the NJ. f.
church Aug p and IS, was an enjoyable
occasion, very helpful and inspiring and
one long to be remembered.
The church was tastefully decorated
with evergreen and a nice display OF pot
ted plants, ferns and golden rod. In front
on the left side were the figures 1901 in
evergreen, on the right side were the fig
ures 1901 and between them the word
welcome. The weather was all that could
be desired.
The opening sermon Tuesday evening
was preached by Rev. w. NJ. Newton, pre-
siding elder Of Montpelier district, who
was born and reared in the town of Bar
nard and formerly member of the local
church. His text was Ecclesiastes 40 and,
referring to conditions in olden times and
comparing with present conditions, he
argued that they were not better in those
times than now.
The centennial prayer meeting Wednes-
day morning was led by Rev. Guy Lawton
of Thetford Center, after which Rev. A. l..
Cooper. ID. d., of Randolph delivered a
carefully prepared and interesting histori-
cal address, taking US back into the past
for more than century. Barnard was at
one time the head of a circuit comprising
large area Of surrounding towns.
Il was in the early days an important
appointment in New England and two
annual conferences were held here, one in
1911 and again in 1874. Ii is said that
Bishop Asburv came to this first confer
ence in covered carriage, the first one
ever seen il Barnard, and that George
Cox, then boy OF u years, washed the
carriage for the bishop. Bishop Asbury
did most of his travelling on horseback
but in later years. being troubled BY some
infirmity, friends in Philadelphia purehas-
ed for him carriage, which explains how
be came to Barnard at this time in this
way. This was not long before his death.
Barnard was served by some strong men.
DR.. Cooper had with him book which
was Of interest from the fact that it was
printed in Barnard in the early part OF the
century. It was in the old style OF English
and the letter 5 resembled an I.
The ladies had provided an abundant
supply OF refreshments and free dinner
and supper were served at the town hall.
In the afternoon addresses were deliver
ed by the following former pastors: Rev.
9. A. Emery, Guy L.Ewton, S.P. Fairbanks
and u. II. Smith. Rev. W. H. Wright.
who served the church in 1858 and 1854
was present but not well enough so that
he felt like speaking. Rev. VI. B. Parou-
nagisn Of Pittsfeld, who was born in Cap
padOcis across the sea, also delivered an
address. "reminiscences were given BY
Ora Ellis. NJ. Fl. Billings and &. j. Allen.
The pastor read an interesting sketch of
the late George Cox which WIS written BY
DR.. Gardner Cox Of Holyoke. Mass.
In the evening love feast was led BY

gave testimony for Christ. after which
Rev. Geo. W. Hunt delivered a powerful

Windsor County Reunion.

Barnard's great day, Aug. 2sth, dawned
/ fair and all the town was out in flying col
ors at an early hour, ready to welcome
guests to her annual soldiers reunion.
Patriotism was at large on every side.
| Private homes and public buildings were
artistically decorated for the occasion,
among those most noticeable being the
Silver Lake House, Wayside Inn, postof-
| flee and p. b. Hadley's cottage and the
stars pangled banner waved over the
/ square.
By nine O'Clock our little village was
alive with teams and people. From hill
and vale, north, east, south and west did
they come, some on wheels-others IN
/ single teams flor il was a great day for the
gentleman and his LADY,, and stil others
in two and four horse loads, until the
town was filled to overlooking.
At ten O'Clock the procession formed in
| front of the Silver Lake House marshaled
| by II. A. Wood. Following came the
Woodstock Military band, the veterans in
line, a comrade of the George G. Randall
post Of Woodstock bearing the flag, and
long line OF citizens in carriages and on
foot.
Upon arriving at the grove the associa-
tion was called TO order by President John
Gilman Of Prosper. Prayer was offered
by Rev George f. Huntley OF South Franz
| ingham. Mass, and after music by the
Silver Lake choir Rev. Edward Mitchell
Barney Of Beverly. Mass, addressed the
people. His eloquent words were full OF
praise and feeling for the loyalty of our
soldiers, as were those az the speakers who
came after. He held the audience with
rapt attention to the close.
The dinner hour was a pleasing feature
OF the day and to the on-lookers a picture
indeed. Not only was the occasion a re-
union OF soldiers but reunion OF families.
All over the park were gathered family
circles about a feast fit for a king.
What the nation needs is more times
like this when ell people lay aside the cares
Of life and become young and festive to-
gether.
The afternoon session opened with mu-
sic. Addresses were made by Rev. VIII
mond A. Warner OF Bethel, Capt. H. n.
Bruce of South Pomfret, Rev. W. II. Ryder
Of Gloucester, Mass, and Rev. G. Z. Hunt
ley. We would not forget to mention the
solos rendered by Miss Grace Darling Of
Manchester, y. H.
The reunion OF 1901 will pass into his
tory as the largest and most successful of
any vet held. After the closing exercises
at the park many adjourned to the ball
game on Thompson field between the I
Prosper and Creek nine, which resulted in
victory for the Creek boys with a score
Of to 6.
In the evening residences were illumi- /
mated with Chinese lanterns and Wyman's /.
full orchestra of Gaysville furnished mu- /
sic for the annual hop at the pavilion I
under the efficient management Of G. ID. /
Cushing.
May Barnard witness for many years to 4
come the annual reunion OF the veterans 1
OF Windsor county.
