THE ORANGE co. TELEPHONE co.
statement From Mr. spear with a Few
Comments

NoHafhFtt1
C.L. Spear president Of the Orange
County Telephone Co, IN a c0mmunica-
tion to citizens Of this city says
II wish to say to the citizens Of your
city that the franchise as advocated by
the city council which will require the
wires Of this company TO be placed under
ground, win, fear, prevent the company
from entering your precincts for some
time to come and perhaps forever, Our
company do'n0t deem such request on
the part Of the city ds necessary or just,
especially considering the localities asked
for and the freedom given other wires in
that section. II the citizens Of your CITY
are to be deprived Of the immense terri
tory which our service will open up to
them. it Is today ia a measure their own
fault as they understand the entire cir
enmstances, and united action on their
part Is anxiously awaited By our conf
pany."
The franchise recently granted the Or
ange County Telephone Compang by the
Barre city council provides that the com
pany shall put its wires under ground
when 50 directed BY the city council At
ter granting the franchise the city council
adopted a resolution that the company, Il
it enters the city, put its wires under
ground from the intersection Of Elm street
and Eastern Avenue to the central office.
As the Orange County company only asks
to run its wires to the house Of Mrs. Boyee
on Elm street, there would be only about
800 to 800 feet of street In which ii would
have to bring its wires.
If the company should enter the central
office at Oh. Dodge's store from Brooklyn
and Burnham streets, it Is not required to
put any part Of that wire under ground.
The New England Telephone company
was recently given permission to put its
wires under ground on North and South
Main streets from the fork shop to semin-
arg street, Washington street to Church
street and all intersecting streets, the
only street on which the Orange Coun.
ty company have been requested to bring
its wires.
The Times has advocated the granting
Of franchise to the Orange County Tele-
phone Co and hopes to see 1t establish a
service in Barre, but it does not believe Il
should be granted greater fayors than are
granted another. The city does not ask il
to do what others are not doing and If
Mr.. Spear Is really In earnest In his de-
sire to enter Barre there is nothing to pre-
vent him but his own dsinclination-a and
not the fault Of the citizens, Or city eoun.

Baptist Church.
In the Baptist church last evening A.
w. Keene of Boston, who is spending the
summer in Barre. gave talk on music,
which proved Of special interest TO the au-
dience. He traced the art from the early
Egyptians through the Hebrews, Greeks
and Romans till its burst into the bloom
of a fine art with Palestrina in 1880, and
valuable lessons were drawn of music's
influence upon us mentally aud morally.
In speaking of so.ealled classic music
Mr.. Keene said "Nourish the child's
mind with melodies Of Mozart, Mendelss-
ohm and others Of that class till his 18th
year and not only viii his music life be
a happier one, but he will then prefer
the music Of Handel and Haydn to the
popular melodies of the day
He then asked, Ibid you ever know a
person to turn to the husks, after having
fully enjoyed the garden Of Beethoven,
Schubert or Mendelssohn2n
In speaking Of teachers and teaching be
said that while the veterinary surgeon
must pass an examination before he Is
permitted TO treat our horses, dogs, cats,
any charlatan is at perfect liberty TO work
upon the throat and lungs Of human be-
ings with any vocal method he pleases and
the results are disastrous to both voice
and health. lie declared that If the voice
Is properly used it win not sound old and
worn at the age Of forty, but will be fresh
till the time OF our three score and ten
also that misuse of the voice is the reason
we have so few tenor singers, Besides his
own Illustrations Of the theme, selections
were sung by Mrs, Goss and Mr.. Yiau Of
Montpelier and Miss Plnkie Lewis d

She NIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD
Uae says a woman Can't Do II?

A lady living in Providence, R. l.,
whose eighteen-year-old son was
taken down with stomach and bowel
troubles during the hot spell in
June, has had an excellent oppor-
tunity to know the wonderfully bene-
fetal results from the use of Abbey's
Salt OF Fruits in just such cases.
She did not fool with drugs, did
not pay a dollar for doctors bills,
but with a woman's keen wit she hit
the nail squarely on the head by Civ
ing her boy the natural tonic laxa-
tive and stomach corrector, Abbey S
Effervescent Salt. The lady says:
When my boy was taken i'll and
seemed on the verge of mental col
lapse, | at once gave him Abbey S
Salt OF Fruits, which | had used my
self with excellent results many
times before. His entire system
responded to the magical power OF
your wonderful remedy. In ten
DAYS his stomach and bowels were
as strong as ever, and he is now in
perfect health. | am filled with
gratitude and admiration for Alb
bev's Effervescent Salt, which on
several occasions has brought hap
piness into my family"
