Montpelier and Burlington.
In spite Of a late spring and period OF
drought that has made the village gar
dens about as productive as the desert Of
Sahara, o. 5. Chamberlain has succeeded
in raising tomatoes which ought to take
the prize at the new state fair in White
River Junction. One OF these "loye
apples measured IL inches in circum-
ference and weighed pound and a half.
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. ID. Wheeler of White
River Junction received a telephone mes
sage last Thursday, saying that their
daughters, Lucille and Marjorie, were in
an automobile accident at Moline, ILL.,,
where the young ladies were visiting and
that Miss Marjorie was seriously injured.
Later more reassuring news came from
the doctor, with whose family she is stay
ing, that she had suffered compound
fracture OF the left elbow, which might
result in stiff joint, but that she was do
ing as well as could be expected. Upon
receipt of the message, Mrs. Wheeler left
at once for Moline.
Rev. George +. Ladd, formerly pastor
OF the Cong1 church OF this village, has
received call to the pastorate of the
Congl church in the city OF Red Oak,
Iowa. He has accepted the call, resigned
his pastorate at Westerly, r. l., and will
move with his family to Iowa so as to en-
ter upon his work there Sept. 10. Red
Oak is one OF the best towns OF its size
in the state and the call, which has come
to Mr. Ladd is very gratifying to him
and TO his friends. 1t is understood
that for number OF years he has had the
wish to locate in the West, and the pres
emit opening seems favorable one.
Ray Ordway assembled baseball team
last week which played Bethel at Bethel
Friday afternoon, being defeated, 10 to 6.
Bass and Connolly were the Randolph
battery; Dutton and Mcintyre for Bethel.
Saturday. the Randolph boys went to
Woodstock. expecting an overwhelming
rout at the hands OF the world-beaters"
of that town. They-did get beaten, 10 to
6. but made quite creditable showing,
all considered. In the first inning RAN
dolph batted in five runs off "Bill' Shaw,
but in the second and third woodstock
got after Rogers Of East Bethel, who was
in the box for Randolph, and laced out
eleven scores. Then "Jack" Vail went
in and held Woodstock to four more runs
during the rest of the game, Randolph
adding one in the ninth. Woodstock has
a stronger team than last year, but our
bovs think that another time they could
give it a good argument.
