Rev. L. II. Elliot of Waterbury
preached here last Sunday, giving a
very able discourse in the interest of
the Vermont Bible Society. AT the
close a collection amounting to $40
was taken for that cause. In the
evening he gave an Interesting talk
on "Sins of the tongue"
E. T. Damon, representative of the
celebrated "Blasius pianos, will
spend the summer in this vicinity.
Mr.. Damon is a very competent
tuner, to which we can testify, and
his services may be secured by send
ing your address to the Hotel Phoenix.
Reference, c. H. Crane, or Miss Irish,
Morrisville.
We went to church Sunday night
and deposited our $3.50 umbrella in
a rack along with lot of others.
When we went to 90 home our UNI
brella was gone and in it's place was
one worth about so cents, of course
it was a mistake, but why wasn't a
S. 90 umbrella left, that is what we
would like to know.
c. H. Crane is achieving consider
able notoriety as an expert electri-
clan. His ability to repair lamps
and insert fuses with the current ON
was fully demonstrated on recent
occasion. The electricity melted his
knife blade and gave him quite a
tickling sensation; but he got his
work in all the same.
E. T. Damon of Boston has been in
town several days tuning pianos.
Mr.. Damon understands his business,
doing his work thoroughly. Heis also:
a violinist, and several evenings the
past week gave the guests at the
Phoenix some excellent music. With
Mrs. Crane at the piano and c. Fl. at
the flute, the music was of high
order.
Memorial Day will be observed at
this place. Besides the Grafton by
g. M. Powers, Esq, there will be
vocal and instrumental music, reci-
tations, etc. 1t is expected that the
No. Hyde Park Drum Corps will be
present and add to the success of the
occasion by its inspiring strains.
Everybody cordially invited to be
present.
A party in honor of bis twentieth
birthday was given Walter Manning
last Friday evening. About forty
we're present and the evening passed
in a most pleasant manner. All en-
ioyed themselves hugely. The young
man was the recipient of several
presents. John Forster acted as
J caterer and served refreshments of
the choicest kind.
Frank True and 81. NJ. Noyes both
have strong ideas as to what con-
stitutes blasting powder. Henry
attirms that Frank can't work off
sporting powder on him for blasting
} powder and Frank thinks it difficult
: to make ii. NJ. believe that blasting
! powder, like everything else, has
changed and improved ''since Henry
was first on earth"
Last evening just as Minors milk
J team had about completed business,
: the whifti etree dropped on to the
) horses heels, causing him to run
away. Clinton Stygles, the driver,
3 jumped off and grabbed the horses
: head before it had gone many rods,
thereby stopping him, but not before
Q the shafts were broken and the har-
l ness somewhat demolished. The ac-
9 cident might have been much more
serious but for Stygles' presence of
D mind.
' Give the enlarge-your-p photograph
t man the go-by. Do not take any
| stock in his oily sayings. He isn't
travelling about the country for his
: health-it is money he is after-and
he will not give you something for
nothing. Not only does he misrep-
resent the quality of the work to you,
but in order to secure your work he
: makes misstatements az to who has
given him orders. If you have work
of the kind you want done, give it to
!, some reliable photographer to do.
1t will be done better and much
8 cheaper in the end.
