the creamery considered it advisable be-
fore making any further shipments, to
communicate with these parties and ascer-
tain the situation. Acting under this
decision, o. II. Smith, president of the
directors, was given long-distance tele-
phone connection with these parties at
Boston Thursday afternoon and was adj

trucking and were therefore not affected
by the strike and future shipments would
be cared for as usual, thus relieving the
directors of much anxiety and fear that if
shipments were made at present they
would be held up in some railroad freight
yard.
| NJ. Frost of Montpelier, consulting
engineer for the Molly's Falls Electric
, Light and Power Company, was in town
on Thursday to put the fni, hing touches
upon the electric appliances at the plant
and inspect the completed work of the
line. The first field current from the
! plant was sent to Cabot between eleven
1 and twelve o'clock that day. We will not
attempt to picture the scene at Cabot, de-

J in taking part in the coming musical fes-
tival at Barre at the Methodist church
a vestry next Wednesday evening at eight
.. o'clock, to form class for rehearsing the
E music that is to be taken up at that con-
vention.
r Owing to the inclemency of the wealth
4 er, the bad travelling and prevailing dis
temper the attendance at the two days
musical convention was not such as was
hoped it would be, but sufficient num-
Der were present so that very good cho-
rus was organized and fully sustained the
prediction in last weeks paper that the
, stay-at-homes would miss the best must
cal treat of the season. The association
will not profit by the convention but it is
hoped that the treasury will not be depict
ed any thereby. The officers of the asso-
citation feel much indebted to those who
came from adjoining places and by their
aid in chorus aud solo work added much
to the success of the convention. Among
those were Clifford Bliss, Miss Grace
Bliss and Miss Kate Hammond of Calais,
Mrs l.. Alice Fisher and Miss Cora
Lance of Cabot, Prof. Stone of Goddard
Seminary, Mrs. A. c. Hall and Mrs j.
Downs of Putnamsville, Herbert Kelton
and James Young of East Montpelier.
The work of the soloists was highly pleas
ing, nearly every member being obliged
to respond to encores and special mention
might be made of each one did space per-
NIT. Last but not least the chorus was
ably directed by Prof. G.. f. Dudley of
East Montpelier whose ability in this di-
