LOCAL UNREST

The ladies Of the Barre Congregation
al church have reserved a warm place
in their hearts for the present chief
executive Of the state. During the
course Of the Vermont doctors banquet

marked:
"Erhis is the best banquet / ever
attended

which the chief executive poured out,
for the menu was an excellent one.
