There will be no general state celebra-
ton of Old Home Week The observance
of the reunion festival will be confined to
local celebrations. In some counties
however, it is proposed for the towns to
Unite in a county celebration in the
shire town. These celebrations will very
largely partake of the nature of a great
family reunion. The general features of
Old Home Week will be family reunions
and greetings to returning friends, public
receptions to visitors by town or city
officials, grange meetings and reunions of
grand army and other organizations,
coaching parades and athletic sports, ex-
Cursions and piCnics; an old folks din
rer, clam bake or barbecue. Other fea
lures will be an old folks concert, or an
uld-fashioned musical festival, camp-fres,
band concerts, and other entertainments.
The red letter day of Old Home Week will
te Friday. August 16 This is "Benning
ton Battle Day" and also a legal holiday.
This will be the day for the Old Home
Week exercises. In some towns there
will be a parade of military, semi-mili-
tary and civic organizations. The histori-
cal exercises will consist of an Grafton by
some distinguished son of Vermont, ad
dresses by leading citizens and visitors
with music and other entertaining fea-
lures"

Horse Killed in Runaway.

Saturday afternoon about four o'clock
a runaway occurred on our streets which
resulted in the death of one of the horses
of Meaney & Meaney's meat market,
after a half hour of somewhat sensa-
tional scenes in the street front of the
market. w. n. MaXfield of Athens was
loading a chamber set into a double
team owned by Nelson II. Pima in the
rear of George Z. W'cIchs furniture store
on Canal street, when a train passing
sounded the whistle suddenly and startled
the horses. They ran out from behind
the block and through the square not do
ing damage until Meaney's market was
reached. The delivery team stood in
front of the door facing the square and
the running horses tried to go one each
side of the Meaney horse, striking the
lole into its breast about u inches. The
running horses were thrown down on
top of the injured horse and were caught
without other serious damage. The load
of furniture was spilled around the
stleets. Mr.. Meaney's horse bled pro-
fusely, and DR.. Pike did what was pos
sible for it, but the injuries were so
severe that it was decided to kill it
little later The horse was an excellent
one and had been used for that market
eight years.
