WARDSBORO'S
GREAT EVENT
Celebration and Dedication
Yesterday.
NEW HALL GIVEN TOWN
BY James NJ Gleason of Boston in
Memory of His Parents Three Thou
sand People Attended Exercises
Winners in Athletic Events.

July l., 1907, will be remembered for a
long time in Wardsboro. On that occa'
sion fully 5000 people from various parts
of this and adjoining counties gathered
in that town to participate in mann
moth celebration The reason for yester-
days event was twofold. In the first
place it was the birthday of independence,
and for that reason the time was consid-
cred appropriate for dedicating the new
hall which has been built for and given
TO the town OF Wardsboro by one of its
illustrious sons James NJ. Gleason OF Bos-
ton. as a memorial to his parents All the
details of the celebration were well ar
ranged and the various events were car
ried out according to schedule, Early IN
the beautiful marning people began to ar
rive in all sorts OF conyeyances and the
forenoon trains brought still more.
The celebration opened officially with a
parade Of antiques and hornbles at $3.50,
4 large number of vehicles were in line
and the procession was led by the Wards.
boro cornet band Prizes were awarded
to the 4. Z. club and to John Scranton.
Next came the athletic sports, which

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
Lyndonville Young Man Tried to Pass
Bogus Note.

Elbridge A. Carpenter, % and stu.
dent at Tufts medical college, Med
ford, Mass, is in Jail at st. Johnsbnry
having confessed to the crime of for
gerry. The young man has been staying
with his wife for month at Webb $
hotel in Lyndonville, his former home
and where his parents now reside. a
year ago he negotiated as loan Of $3.50
at the Merchants National bank in
st. Johnsbury, which was signed by
him and endorsed by Albert I. Evans
of st. Johnsbury Center and Edward
c. Graves of Lyndonville. Carpenter
presented a note Monday for 5000,
signed by himself and bearing the al
legged endorsement of Messrs. Evans
and Graves and of Jennie B. Folsom
of Lyndonville The clerk of the
bank compared the signatures with
those on the first note and his suspi-
cions were aroused by differences in
the handwriting He notified State s
Attorney Guy W. Hill, who interviewed
Carpenter. The young man declared
that he had seen the three persons
sign the note. Mr. Hill then asked
Carpenter to accompany him to the
homes of the parties mentioned, and
they started at once.
While on the way Carpenter broke
down and confessed that the sigma
lures were forgeries. He was immedi'
ately placed under arrest and taken
to the Caledonia county Jail. 1t is ex,
pected that the case will be disposed
of next week. 1t is understood at
st. Johnsbury that Carpenter is want
ed to answer charges of similar crimes
in Massachusetts.

of this gift. In this hour of hope and
in the sunshine of this generosity we may
in retrospect contemplate what our town
has been and has not heen-what II may
and may not hope to be-
Nature did not endow this town with
great wealth OF soil, nor with riches IN
mine and quarry. Hard labor and the
sweat OF honest toll has been the price
paid for all the material gain these hills
and valleys have yielded. God has not
ordained that great population shall
make their home within these borders.
Warlsboro was almost the last town in
southern Vermont to be organized. Her
lands were sought only after adjoining
tracts had first been taken. The charter
OF the town granted by the legislature IN
l7s0 recites that there Is a tract OF va
cant land within this state which has not
heretofore been granted. Each pro
prictor was required to plant and cultl-
vate tive acres Of land and build a house
at least Is feet square within four years
after the war would permit. These same
proprietors and their grantees followed
ihe custom of the time aud cleared and
settled the highest hills The passing
years soon removed the cause for such
selection. and time has made the valley
rather than the hill the better and more
convenient location for the home. Many
OF those early settlements have become
deserted farms. Old Wardshoro Common
on the hill was for more than % years
the center of the town life. SiXty-four
year. ago the town voted that its meet
iugs should he held in the old church
which stood on this spot, and here they
remained until the condition Of the build
ing forbade its further use, so that in
1886 the west village took the town meet
ing. The town will now by unanimous
voice establish itself here for so long as
these walls shall stand.
You have given US, sir, the incentive to
appreciate all this. and that is your great
est gift. The hope OF Wardsboro is that
those who know it, her sons and daugh-
tiers. shall tel it, and within these Dor
ders there shall come to live people who
seek not material gain but those greatest
gifts of God, pure air pure water, con
tantment and peace of mind. You have
set rs thinking that in Wards boro is a
good place to live; you have helped us

Advent Minister Hung Himself.

Rev. Frederick W. Fairbanks of
West Derby, an Advent Evangelical
clergyman, about 80 years old, com
mitted suicide Sunday by hanging.
About 8 o'clock in the morning Mr..
Fairbanks told his wife that he was
going for walk. His prolonged abb
sence caused anxiety and a search
was made. His body was found hang
ing from the limb of a tree near the
reservoir Of the Newport Water com
pany. a few rods from his home. No
motive is known for his act.
Mr.. Fairbanks was well known as
preacher Of his denomination
throughout northern Vermont and
Canada, where he had held many pas
torates. Recently he had been en-
gagged in evangelistic work. He is
survived by wife, three sons and two
daughters.

He then briefly alluded to the principal
acts on the part of the government, OF
Great Britain towards the colonies that
led to the convening of delegates at
Philadelphia in September, IVA, to pro
test against the usurpations of the moth
er country in imposing eXhorbitant taxes
and at the same time denying the
colonies the right of representation. Lex
ington and Bunker Hill were fought, and
the following winter the Congress was

Child Killed at a Wedding.

Antonio, the three-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Angelo Mono of Sudbury,
was run over by a hack and killed i'm
mediately after returning from a
church at West Rutland Monday after
noon where Mr.. and Mrs. Gatetano
Ambrosina were married. The acci-
dent occurred in the yard of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Agastino at West Rutland
where the wedding was held. The boy
was picking up candy in the yard
thrown by guests from the house, as
the couple alighted from the hack,
Some candy hit the horses, which were
made unmanageable, running over the
bow. He died in two hours.

July 4, l776, the Declaration of Independ-
ence declaring all connection between the
colonies and the government of Great
Britain totally dissolved, and in support
of it they each pledged their lives, their

Congressman Haskins spoke of the long
years of war, hardship and suffering en-
dured, resulting in the acknowledgment
of their independence and their right to
govern themselves, and after speaking OF
the expansion of our territory to the "a
ciic ocean, the contest between the
friends of freedom and slavery for the
mastery. he briefly sketched the causes
which led to the war of the rebellion.
He then referred to the tremendous
progress made by this country during the
last 42 years, saying he believed that the
people of this nation were the chosen OF
God to extend unto other lands and to
other people the great blessings we enjoy;

DILLINGHAM; to Visit Russia and Austria

Senator Dillingham; of Vermont,
chairman of the United States immi-
grafton commission, now visiting Eu.
rope, arrived in Vienna Saturday. In
order to facilitate the work of the
American commission it has been de-
cided to assign separate territories to
the members. Accordingly, Congress
man Bennett of New York will cover
Greece and Asia Minor, Senator Lat
inner of South Carolina and Congress
man Burnette of Alabama will 60 to
Germany, and Congressman Howell of
New Jersey will visit the Scandina-
Wan countries, while Senator Dilling-
ham and W. R. Wheeler will study the
emigration methods of Austria-Hun-
gary and Russia.

A comparison of these figures with
thousands of coupons were held back
until the closing hours. The force at
the Reformer office was swamped
with the work incident to the close of
the contest, Monday and Tuesday,
and the Don c. Stiles company writes
that the votes on Tuesday landed in
their office like bomb. The total
number of votes cast for all contest
ants was 1926.
The greatest interest, of course, cen
tered about the Brattleboro division,
where ii became apparent that the
fight was between Miss Mather and
Dr. Lynch. Both had many friends
and the advantages were about equal
but Miss Mather, being a young wo-
man. and both herself and her father,
E. Z. Mather, having worked strenu-
ously for the prize, finally won out.
There is every reason to suppose that
all the candidates are satisfied with
the result of the contest, and that there
is no i'll feeling.
In the second division the remark
aDlc lcau OF MT. fOutlt over al uluei
candidates, proves that he is popular
man in his section, and should be very
gratifying to him. In spite of the
fact that there was no effective COM
petition in this district Mr.. Follett s
votes kept coming in.
In the third division the votes were
quite close as one five year subscription
for Miss Higgins of Hinsdale would
have been sufficient to put her in first
place. The voting in this district was
necessarily smaller as it was confined
to contestants outside of the state,
but the final vote shows that there was
considerable interest at the end.
The winners will go to the James
town exposition under the guardian
ship of the Don c. Stiles company Of
st. Johnsbury, a most successful agency
for travel and touring parties, and will
in all ways be treated with the same
courtesy and attention as members of
the party who pay cash. The party is
expected to leave Brattleboro July 22.
Further particulars in regard to the
trip and the close of the contest, with
pictures of the successful contestants
will appear in the Reformer next week.
