The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1909-07-01

Two pale feet crossed in rest
The race is run.
Yet, twill only be a sleep:
When, with songs and dewy light
Morning blossoms out of night,
She will open her blue eyes
Meath the palms of Paradise,
While we foolish ones shall weep"
Our old townsman Daniel D.
Royce, who is just getting up from
illness in Barre City, was out here
visiting with old acquaintances one
day last week. He used to be one
| of our busiest farmers and prosper
ity has followed him for years. He
can now be aman Of more leisure
and his travels over Uncle Sans
domains, with eyes and ears and
mind wide open, have given him
fund of information that we person
ally are only too glad to draw upon.
Mrs. Oliver Bacon, born Phebe
Hibbard now of Elmore, is visiting
friends in this, her old home.
1t is rather painful to hear our
farmers prophesying "a short hay

Some thirty or more busy men
at the Italian granite shed, owned
by the late Messrs. Lynde and La
throp. and the hum of machinery
there makes it nice place to visit,
] if one likes that kind of thing.
( We went to this shed one day last
week to see some fine work that
was being done by an Italian carv-
err, in bas-relief, on a block of gran
tie. The figure was that of an angel
sitting by the sad sea waves" the
work of an employee of the two
Passera Brothers. Any visitor at
this shed will be welcomed who de-
sires to see the same piece of work.
Gene Call, son-in-lay of the late
Lyman A. Work, is the carpenter to
have in hand the building of Fred
Poor's farm house.
The two brothers, Will and Rob-
bic Duffus of the Stanford Univer-

mer school that can be made to
count for them in their University
course.

sity at Mortified seems to be forg-
ing ahead as shown by promo

We count one of our privileges
that we are under the same ROOT
with the cornet of our new conner
VIII E. Randall, son-in-law of Rev.
William Schofield. For some years
past Mr.. Randall has played in ar
orchestra in one of the Chicago
churches and his playing of sacred
music is beautiful We are glad tt
say now that here is hope that hi
will be heard occasionally in the
near future in some of the musica
services of the churches here.
