their annual meeting last evening, paid
a splendid tribute to their president,

by recollection for the fourth time, BY
presenting him a large purse Of money,
representing not 50 mnch gift to be
measured by dollars and cents, but as
expressive Of the good win ana the ap
probation Of his associates in the gran
ite Industry. The presentation was
thorough surprise to President Alexand
Ier, and to use the words OF one man,
''it took the wind completely out Of his
sails It was, indeed, a fitting recogni
tion Of his valuable services TO the asso-
citation.
Fully fifty manufacturers gathered in
their rooms in the prindle & AYerilI
block, and the meeting was one of the
best ever held By the association. After
several matters Of business had been dis
posed of, Hugh ]. NJ. Jones of Jones
Bros. arose and proceeded to make Pres.
Iident Alexander uncomfortable. His
speech in presenting the purse was
neat one. he said that he believed any
man who had done his duty is deserv-
ing Of recognition. All eyes were turned
toward the president Of the association.
He was nnslispecting. Then turning to
Mr.. Alexander the speaker said: Il
present you, Mr.. Alexander, this purse
as token of our feeling and regard,
land as a recognition of the splendid
manner in which you have conducted
yourself as president OF this association
believe that the manufacturers will
agree with me that whenever any trouble
has arisen in Barre and President Alex
ander has been appealed to he has given

Ter, / do not want You 20 accept this
for what it is in dollars and cents, but
simply as a token Of our feeling.
The recipient was 50 embarrassed that
he was unable to make response for
a time. Sandwiches and coffee were
Air. Alexander had recovered enough from
his .surprisesto tender Il hearty thanks
to the donors. The gift was from the
association and from few who are not
members OF the association. The officers.
elected for the ensuing year are as fol
