The parade of "Sousa's Band" up
Main and Maple streets provoked a
good deal of mirth. The music was
of most weird and blood curdling
character and most of the boys who
took part in the burlesque of the
famous organization, took care to
be disguised, but the Clarion notes of
Billey Pope, who served as drum
major and prompter, were easily dis
tinguished. Billy clearly has future
before him.

Marshall, Leon Macutchan, Leo
Moody, John Campbell, Jim Camp
bell and Grover Luce. Individually

progress, but what the composite
result will be is tale yet to be told.
The streets were filled with Grang-
ers and their families yesterday, on
their way to Palisades Park, where

the pleasure of the occasion and those
present appeared to enjoy themselves
thoroughly. Big delegations were in
attendance from Waterbury, Water
bury Center and Morrisville as well
as Stowe. While the speaking was
all pronounced of very high order

enthusiastic over the address of Hon.

Saturday, Aug. 10, and was the more
memorable because Mrs. Allen retains
her health and mental power to an I'M

Mrs. Cornelia Seaver at Stowe Lower
Village, and Mrs. Seaver says that
Mrs. Allen has daily assisted her in
the lighter household duties; that
she has been able to read a short
time each day and that she has a
clear memory of events occurring in
her girlhood. Over fifty of the rela-
tives and friends of Mrs. Allen called
upon her Saturday and extended
their congratulations. Two neices
were present, they being her nearest
living relatives, and four generations
were represented in the gathering. A
picnic dinner was served after which
Rev. Mr.. Clapp, pastor of the Metho-
dist chnrch, conducted devotional
services, and one after another left,
wishing Mrs. Allen many added years
