John II. Walker, 80, of East Barnard
was at the last town meeting, voting every
/ ballot with the vim of a young man ac-
cording to his conscientious belief, ana
taking the risk OF a late dark ride over
| these hills. Chauncey A, Walker, John
| brother, only a few years younger, was
one OF the first and last TO vote: MT
Walker told me he had never missed a
/ freemanis meeting since coming OF age
more than sixty years ago. To such men
Vermont owes her reputation as the star
| that never sets.
DIR. Joseph Bowman OF Minneapolis,
MINI. is visiting old friends in Barnard
and looking over the hills and wales where
| he raced in boyhood days. All are glad TO
see his familiar face again. Dr. 10. Is
/ great grandson OF Rev. Joseph Bowman,
! the first settled minister in Barnard, whose
preaching was paid for by a town TAX
until some wicked sinners began TO kick,
saving they didn't believe in bis doctrine
and olght not to be taxed for hearing IL.
/ This led to the organization Of the Con-
1 gregational church where the Rev. Joseph
! preached many years and was very much
/ beloved. He had no trouble in proving
\ his doctrine by the Bible and his large
congregation every Sunday was convnc-
/ ing proof that they believed IN It's truth.
! on course there would be some boilers
who favored local option, but a large
majority were faithful and believed the
wicked should be everlastingly punished.
/ DR.. 10. inherits this gospel fact and TO all
appearance belongs TO the heavy side.
i L. II. Blackmer, senior member of
! Blackmer & Post Pipe Co., ST. Louis, Mo-,
made a flying visit to Barnard, his native
/ town, last week. Mr.. Blackmer is the
eldest son Of Lucian Blackmer, ESD, a
/ former resident and large property holder
/ in this town, who lived here many years
and was very prominent in town affairs
and still at four score Is hale and hearty,
| spends his summers in this vicinity and
winters with his -on in st. Louis. l.. k,
i or Young Lucian as he was familiarity
called, commenced his business education
/ in w. c. Daniorth's store, where he soon
showed a remarkable talent as manager
| From a boy to a man OF p he was faithful
| to every trust and became one Of the most
popular youngsters ever raised In Barnard.
/ lnheriting from both father and mother a
strong desire and love for a business life
larger than Barnard could afford, he took
the advice OF oft-quoted Horace Greeley
and went West, where his capacity found
| large field to expand in the great, grow
| ing city OF st. Louis. And now the boy
/ who bought and specialized in squirrel
skins and whatever his companions had to
4 sell, stands at the head OF perhaps the
! largest manufacturing firm Of the kind in
the West. All rejoice IN his success.
WORLDS FAIR.
Quite a good many people from Barnard,
and the best horses, attended the Worlds
fair in Tunbridge. Altho' the weather
was bad, rain and mud did not prevent
about the usual crowd tax ing this annual
| outing.
When we consider the terrible blow
| Vermont's law courts gave this society in
the Benedict case, also the weather clerk s
adding kick by giving three nasty, wet
days for the 1902 exhibition, we wonder
that they can exclaim like the great Web
ster, II still live ~
With indomitable Yankee pluck and
some new blood infused, the people OF
lTunbridge and nearby towns have carried
through a successful fair, with an average
attendance
Thanks TO the farmers OF this vicinity,
Barnard furnished five premium stations,
but we missed Chester Cady and his flock
Of thoroughbred Cotswold sheep. o. l..
Cootey, also, with his premium steers, was
conspicuous for his absence, but on the
whole it was an average exhibition.
We predict that another year, with
three good days, the Worlds fair in point
of exhibition and attendance will be a
record breaker for Vermont.
