Vermont Veterans in Boston

The Vermont Veterans Association o
Boston, composed of men from that
state who served in the Civil War, held a
reunion and banquet at Young's hotel
Friday night, Gov. Fletcher D. Proctor
ofVermont and Gov. Curtis Guild, jr., OF
Massachusetts being the guests of Honor.
Gov. Guild spoke briefly in his usual
interesting manner. Gov. Proctor de-
liyered an extended address, touching
upon the high quality of patriotism
among the men of the Green Mountain
state. He declared that the nation has
shown appreciation of the sacrifice of
her soldiers in the civil war. but de-
precated the tendency to obliterate too
entirely the memory of that struggle.
He said that the public should not be
allowed to forget that war or the sacri-
fee demanded of its soldiers, or the
principles that made the war necessary.
To perpetuate such memories was the
best way to have future generations
prepared and willing TO take up the
defense of the government if the occasion
should arise. He said he would like to
have the flag and Memorial day mean
more and more of a sacred character
than at present.
At the suggestion of Mayor Boynton
of Everett, fraternal message was sent
to Frederick Holbrook of Brattleboro,
the war governor of Vermont, on the
occasion of his 9th birthday.
Almost One Hundred Years old.
Mrs. Betsey Human Carpenter. aged
90 years. S months, and % DAYS. died

deal Of interest last year in purchasing
and preparing Christmas gifts for her
grandchildren. great-grand- |
and great-great-grandchildren,
and looked forward TO her Tooth natal /
day with marked interest. She wrote
cards for all her Christmas remen1bran-
les. Up to within a short time this /
venerable woman had full possession of (
all her faculties, was active and cheerful. (
and evidently enjoyed life.
Instantly Killed.
Thomas Hardigan, employed at the
Mountain mills, in Wilmington, was
killed instantly soon after going to
work Monday morning. A scantling.
