The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1901-12-11

The, dramatic lecture on Thursday
evening last, by Leonard Carver, was
Jean Vatican: a character study III
conscience" To some it was immense
~ interesting, but perhaps to more, it
was much less so. But we suspect 1t
will lead to more reading of Les Mis-
cradles. In any event there were
some most important and beautiful les
sons brought out by the lecturer.
We anticipate II popular lecture next
Monday evening, Dec. l6, the fourth
in our course, by Hon. j. Wight Gid
dings, of Michigan. Next month will
have but one entertainment III our
course for us, but it promises to be
one of the best, by the Hungarian
Gypsy Orchestra.
The Grearson- Beckett granite com
pany has recently set up two good
monuments in cemeteries III Chelsea.
Foreman Charles G.. Moore had the
charge of putting them i'll place..
Dennis Carlin, longtime engineer
for the Grearson- Beckett Company, is
at work for the Fontana Brothers.
On our table are two photographs.
One is of the family of dear friend,
whose acquaintance we nj ade in In
diana, nearly thirty years ago. There
were ten children i'll the family,
which with the royal hearts of father
and mother, made the principal as
sets of the family. Prominent in the
group is the oldest son, who was fine
scholar as lad. The second picture
is charming picture of home and
family group i'll one of the large and
noted cities of the west, i'll which the
lad of the first group figures as the
head of the family. Today he is
professor in the State university of
one of the western states. We cannot
now tell all that these photographs say
to us, but they have one lesson for our
boy readers III the Waterman, and
that is that it pays to get the best edu-
cation possible, and that one does not
need to be daunted by the fact that
one has not large pocket book to
draw on i'll trying to get such an edu
cation.
A recent call for red albumen at the
drug store of Fred A. Ainsworth by
one of our poultrymen, led to the dis
covery of the fact of, to us, a new
food for egg production. Just now
1t would sem that all hens lay golden
eggs. The Italians here are said to
be large consumers of eggs.
We hardly recall a year when at this
time the water III our springs was so
low as at present. Unless thaw and
rain come soon, the prospect in our
village is not very pleasant to contem-
plate.
Clayton H. Martin, in connection
with other physical ailments, suffers
from rheumatism, and at present is
not able to go to Montpelier for cleo
trical treatment.
Our old townsman, Asa B. Harring-
ton, of Barre is said to have lately re-
ceived much help from DR.. Lewis ID.
Martin, after months of intirmity in
with he had failed to get help other
wise. We are told that physicians of
another and orthodox school, have
been sending friends to the doctor for
that treatment, who is said to have a
large practice.
Potatoes are good thing for our
farmers this year, who have them in
quantities Irving Covel raised $40
bushels of marketable ones, and on a
certain late occasion was not willing
to fill an order at seventy-ti five cents
per bushel.
Already for Christmas at Homer Fits
with the largest showing of holiday goods
that the store has ever made. Special
agent for Santa Claus.
