that would naturally be aroused by
the many and great concentrations
given him now he will be well worth
a large patronage here. Give him
full house.
Rev. Mr. Corliss, has been engaged
to supply the pulpit of our Free Bap
fist church on Sunday afternoons for
the present, some physical infirmity
preventing his taking the pastorate of
a church otherwise He is not an en-
tire stranger to the Free Baptist
church here and is man of such abil-
ity and character that much will be
expected from his ministrations.
Loren Webster, a son of Mrs. Fred
Whitney, and recently married, re-
turned from visit here to Bellows
Falls last Friday, where he is en-

cessful young man, we congratulate

Miss Myrtle Seaver closed last week,
a term of kindergarten teaching here
in our village and both her pupils and
our place are to be congratulated on
having such teacher in our midst.
With the two years kindergarten
work done in the Springfield training
school and her qualifications and love
for the work, she will naturally find
a larger field for labor than our place
at present can afford
Will Simons, q son of Lucius S. ST.
mons, whose life has been mostly lived
in Vermont and Northern Illinois, till
going to Louisiana year or so ago,
thinks the weather of last winter there
was the most delightful winter wealth
er that ever he knew. He works there
at his carpenters trade.
There are those here who, in COM
pany with great number elsewhere,
mourn with unfeigned sorrow the
death of George Lamson in Barre last
week, at the age of nearly fortysix
years. Born in Brookfield where his
early years were lived; later going to
Barre as student i'll the old academy !;
and then taking up the granite work,
that he then prosecuted so successfully
for years, we do not forget that he was
the son of very worthy Williams.
town woman, Mary, daughter of
the late Ariel Crane. Esq, whose fam
lily for years was so well and SO favor
ably known, in the earlier history Of
the town, though now no member of
it is living here. Let no one begrudge
u.s. then, if a laudable town pride leads
nc tn f.1a 81 n which
made Mr.. Lamson the man that Barre
now so greatly mourns. So far as
Williamstown can claim any share i'll
his business life, it is in connection
with quarry within its limits, yield
ing some of the very best Barre gran
lite, so called a quarry that he, with
our townsman, j. X. Prize, bought in
1882, and that has been largely devel-
oped, since, under the company name
of Wells, Lamson q Company, a
company that has also done a thriving
| business in Barre as manufacturers
of monumental work. Whatever else
of ill health Mr.. Lamson may have had,
in late years, we are told that on the
occasion of President Roosevelt's visit
! to Montpelier he went to that city and
| took cold as he returned to Barre on
an open electric car, pleurisy followed
and he was never well after that. He
was never married, and is survived by
only the two sons and two daughters
of his father, the late John Lamson S
family. The outward tokens of love
and respect as shown by the citizens of
Barre at his funeral last week Thurs
day, we doubt not manifested but
feebly the general and great sorrow of
heart for his death.
