The Montpelier Benevolent Educa-
tional Association held it's last annual |
meeting in the Kellogg Hubbard IL
brary building on Friday evening. |
The reports were read and the asso-
citation voted to place the money in |
the treasury, $29.e7 in the hands of
Mrs. @. W. Guernsey and Mrs. G. B.
B. Denny to be used, in their discre
ton, for charitable purposes In |
view of the fact that the work of the /
association has grown less and less,
and the interest has waned, it was /
deemed best not to elect a new board |
of officers. The association has been |
in existence for over ten years, and in
its earlier history did considerable |
amount of work. But the non-elec- |
tion of officers on Friday evening |
marks, practically, the end of the or
ganization.
