It was decided to have the wedding at
the groom's home in Lebanon, since the
bride had devoted her life to Salvation
Army work and her mothers home was
far away.
Two colored women, Mamie Williams
and Jennie Woolson. who had been in
Burlington soliciting funds for mission |
airy purposes, were arraigned Aug. 8,
charged with the larceny of suit case
and contents from G. w. Brown. The
theft occurred on the B. & L. train,
which the women boarded ct Jericho
and, during Mr.. Browns absence, occu-
pied his seat in the car. They left the
train ct Essex and when Mr.. Brown
reached Burlington he found his grip
missing. Railroad Policeman Michael
Sullivan Of Essex arrested the colored
ladies, who said that the suit case was
apparently without an owner so they
took it, intending to report the find to
the proper authorities. They were fined
f5 and costs each, and settled.
The Socialists party Of Vermont filed
petition in the Office of the secretary OF
state July 81 relative to the right to q
place in the official ballot at the regular
biennial state election next fall. The
vote cast in 1906 was not large enough to
entitle the party to have its candidates
placed on the ballot, but petition was
circulated and over 300 names, more than
the required number, were secured and
the list of nominations made at the state
convention held at Barre June 20 was
fled the last day it could be done legally.
Sufficient names were not secured in the,
First Congressional district to permit OF
q nomination, only 200 out OF a necessary
300 being obtained, but more than
enough were signed to Q petition in the
Second district. The Congressional NOM
inee of the party is Timothy Hers OF
Barre.
Charles A. Plumley has filed at the
Washington county clerks Office the as
signment of the store and goods from
Joseph Denny of Mortified to Marshall
d. Smith OF that place. The list OF &C
counts show that Mr.. Denny has accounts
due him amounting to s10s4.0s while he
owes for groceries and provisions
s2526.29. His personal property is es-
timated at S1006.40 and be has stock on
hand amounting to s1347.27. He has
been running grocery store in North
field for two years and has apparently
been doing good business. This assign
ment is made for the benefit OF creditors
who brought suits amounting to about
$500. Mr.. Denny, who thinks he can
pay 100 cents on the dollar, takes this
way to avoid going into bankruptcy.
Dull business conditions in Sorthfeld
caused the failure.
The Vermont companies, Knights OF
Pythias, made q good impression upon
the thousands of people, and especially
upon the scores of Vermonters, who lined
the course Of the parade through Boston
streets Aug. 4 in connection with the
grand encampment being held on Frank
lin field. There were in line 5, 100 Pyth-
, ians in uniform and Is bands, including
$50 PLAYERS, making 5, $50 tho marched
! in the parade. Two dozen states were
represented in the procession, which took
an hour and fifteen minutes to pass Civ
en- point. The Vermont Pythians occu-
pied q position well to the fore in the
second regiment, and were commanded
, By Mai. c. NJ. Wiley, with Major Hoyt as
aide-de-eamp. There were q band and
eight companies from Burlington, st.
