When we were young there were
20 young Americans to open the
Fourth of July. Promptly when
the town clock struck II every
bell in town rang out loud and clear,
with two cannons. Each one did
what they pleased. Now we are
"only 7" with a policeman patrol.
Family and feebly the church bell
rang out, but the bells on the other
side of the River foated through the
air. A rather still troup paraded
the street with sleigh bells and
big fire crackers that walked up a
few sleepy heads, and with a good
bonfire on the common the night
passed away. The sun shone out
bright and clear and little Henry
rushed out on to the street to rush
back, ooh, Grandma, there's a
man straddling the rope that holds
the fag!" Sure enough, "Here's
to the Sheriff." were plainly seen
when the flag assembled high, the
man silently came down to hug
the guide board for hours in front
of our Block. A few placards
were seen, some up high, some
down low, here and there, well
printed, stamped with advertise
ments and jokes, to give us who
stayed at home-for some enjoyed
a ride to Fairlee-something new
to laugh and talk about. A good
heavy shower, acceptably received,
brought the day to a close. 1t did
not hinder the boys and girls from
enjoying their fireworks and graph
aphone.
The Congregational Church was
closed last Sunday.
Madam Mary Talbot was pleased
last Monday by a visit from her
brother, Henry B. Gould Of Warren
N. H., accompanied by his son, a
cousin of Mrs. C. j. Pike, Frank c.
Gould and daughter from Silver
Lake, Conn, in their auto. Mr.
Gould is SO years old and has been
blind for seven years but he comes
now from a hospital at Portland,
Maine, with his sight restored.
On Monday, Prof. Martin and
family, of West Newbury, Mass,
were in town calling on friends.
DR.. Hazelton keeps hearing good
news from his wife.
Mrs. Lizzie Tilton of Chicago
and Miss Lizzie Merrill of Lisbon
are boarding at the Crawford House
for a short time.
DR.. Oscar Worthen arrived on
Mary Burbeck is at home.
Last Tuesday a travelling man
came to the Crawford House for
the night. After making necessary
repairs with his auto the next day
gave three of our young people,
Ethel and Arthur Crawford and
AFRO Shepard an auto ride to
White River Junction. After being
well fed by Mrs. Jennie Clark
Fellows they boarded the six o'clock
train for home with joy and happi-
ness.
Mrs. DR.. Stearns and Joe arrived
on Monday.
For some time George Kimball
has been up to Bethlehem, over
Sunday. Now it is reported that
he is attracted up there.
Lucia Tewksbury arrived home
from st. Johnsbury, where she has
been for few weeks.
Mrs. Frank Morse of Lisbon came
down Saturday morning to visit
her niece, Mrs. c. White, who later
in the day rode out to Benton to
visit friends over Sunday.
Not only are we having good hay
weather, but heavy crops of hay, as
Elmer Blake found out last week
on two acres of land, across the
road, (the field used a few years
ago for a fair ground, actual
weight, 6 tons, 1890 lbs. 6 good
loads.
A lady, while enjoying ice cream
in the new rooms with the NJ. f.
recalled the past when
Mr. William Page and family
lived in Mrs. Randall's house, one
of the many good times was an old
time sewing circle. The house was
well filled at an early hour in the
afternoon and after the young
lasses, not a few, patched and
talked Of matches, all were invited
down into the dining SOON, now
in use, to eat supper. A simple
menu of biscuit opened and spread
with butter, two kinds of plain cake,
minus frosting, tea and coffee.
