The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1903-11-05

line WALDO, u sister OF the late CaleD
Waldo, and of the third wife of the
late Jonathan Lewis. Miss Waldo
went years ago to Ohio, where she
taught school and later married Mr..
Davis. -Four Sons were born to them
in Ohio all of whom we're soldiers in
the war of the rebellion. Mr.. Davis
moved from Ohio to Kenosha, Wis,
where her father and mother died.
Miss Davis lives not very far from Mr..
Dowie's Zion City and gave us some
interesting facts concerning the city
and its Inhabitants. So near is Ken
osha to Zion City that Dowieites con
stantly come there in their religious
work. They go about from house to
house, by twos ring the door bells and
their salutation as the poor is opened
is "Peace to this house" If invited
in they talk of their work and if not
they leave leaflets to do what they
cannot do further. Zion City has the
merit of having no saloons, no tobac-
co, no profanity nor are drug stores
allowed, Mr.. Dowie being the heal
er(O. The city opens its doors to va
riOus if not all nationalities and we
judge it is not hard to guess what
many of its inhabitants are.
The treasury of the Universalist
ladies' society was fuller by some
$l2 after the Sturtevant sisters con-
cert last Saturday evening, that they
had provided for our public. Add to
this the satisfaction they feel over
the concert itself. The concert is
pleasantly spoken of here.
Rev. Almon Shepard and wife,
whose home is in Tunbridge, are
visiting Mrs. Shepard's brother, @.
U. Lathrop, of our village. One
would like TO know how Mr.. Shepard,
now almost ninety-two years of age,
has maintained such remarkable
health. of body and mind as to seem
like man, say score of years
younger We know of no other case
like it. Does not his calling, and
out door life, i'll the past, account
in part for it?
Some thing more material than
GHOSTS seemed to have been abroad
here last week Friday evening, that
was observed for Halloween. " "In
the wee small hours beyond the
twelve, zone of our church bells began
to ring OF course it was supposed
to be an alarm of fire, and nothing
else could stir our village like that,
with its poor equipment for fighting
fire. At the ringing of midnight
bells, all are minute men, here.
This pen is not very used to describ-
ing such feelings AS came out that
night, when the real facts were
known, and we pass on. There were
three cars at our railway station, that
other than steam power was applied
to that night, and they were moved
and left, one beyond the crossing,
north, one on the crossing, and the
other south of it No GHOSTS ever
did that. One of our hustling mer-
chants, who takes an early start with
"A delivery wagon to the quarries,
found that the same had been "deliv-
cred" elsewhere during the night
and the effect on his feelings was any
thing but hallow-ing Now we know
of few or none, who would deny good
wholesome fun to boys, men or
ghosts, but that nights sport (?) was
"a little too much for the public to
bear with unrufiled feelings.
We hear hay quoted as worth $15 a
ton here. We judge there is not the
usual amount of ensilage put up by
our farmers this fall, and, perhaps
by considerable.
Mrs. Orcutt Abbott and daughters
