romantic charm and wild simplicity
which it had when Champlain's cauce

The sentiment expressed for its

from one who is associated in rne pub

American Commonwealth was proceed

oratory.

The oratory at the Champlain ban
quet in Burlington the other night
was hardly up 10 a very higa stand
ard, and consisted mainly in the usual
conventional exchange of diplomatic
phrases and rhetoriacal generalities
between the President and the
French and British ambassadors
PostmasterGener Rudolphe Lemi-
eux of the Dominion of Canada spoke
fiuently but too long and should never
have said some things at all. His
prophecy as to the political promotion
OF Governor Hughes, while awaken
ing very hearty response from his
hearers, never should have been in
dulged in by foreign guest on such
an occasion especially in the presence
of the President of the United States.
Governor Hughes always speaks en-
tertainingly and TO the point, but he
was kept until the last and even ais
crispness and power to hold could not
Offset the fatigue that was more or
less generally felt by everybody in
the room. All in all, Vermont would
not have considered it. very good af-
ter-dinner speaking if her own sons
had been responsible for it on some
local occasion.-St Adams Messen.

lake in America and one services of the
Tercentenary celebration has been to
bring this truth 10 The atttnti, l. of
people aside from those of Vermont
and New York.
Lake George has its charm in clear
water, abrupt mountains and prec-
ipices, many islands and half myster-
ious vistas formed by lake and is
lands, but Lake George is often gloo-
my and oppressive except in the fair

perspective and constant varying love

his summer vacations fer 4 lifetime
on and around Lake Champain with

tons. In speaking of Ambassador
Bryces address. at Burlington the New
York World says
Ambassador Bryce's plea for the
preservation of the Lake Champlain
region in its natural wildness as
national pleasure ground will strike
responsive chord in all nature lovers.
Mr.. Bryce well says that
''As wealth goes OIL increasing in
those regions f the Middle West TO
which nature has given a richer soil
and a profusion OF minerals hut far
less beauty, as wel-a as in the gigantic
cities OF the East, there will be an
ever-increasing longing Oncng the
people to enjoy the scenic loneliness

 Greensboro and vicinity have had en- tirely too much rain of late In April the rainfall at this place was 9.64 inches, and in May it was SPA inches, making
 a total of 17.SS inches for the two months. The rainfall for June so far has amounted to 2.65 inches. So the total rainEall here since April 1 amounts to | 20. 53. Almost the average amount has | fallen since January l. The rains have been so distributed as to make the farm lands almost, if not entirely, unavoidable since April 1, and this has gotten to be a very serious matter with the farm CTS of this section.
 Mrs. Phares Coleman, son and daughter of Montgomery have been the guests here this week of Mrs Colemans mother, Mrs. M J. Peterson.
 John A. Straiton has enlarged his wood- working plant here by adding thereto a sawmill of 5000 feet daily capacity.

MISS CAMPBELL GIVES
 BRIDESMAIDS, LUNCHEON.

Miss Mary Campbell was the pretty hostess at bridesmaids luncheon yes terday in compliment to-Miss Lucille Gas ton. Her guests included the brides maids who are to be with Miss Gaston at the altar with the addition of two sub stitutes.
 This was one of the most artistic af- fairs yet given in compliment to the popular bride-elect and Miss Campbell presided over the luncheon table and it's surrounding beauties and belles with not able grace. The butterfly motif followed was especially appropriate and decora- tive. A large placque fashioned ,of field daisies and interspersed with ferns in the tables center suggested a miniature daisy field. Floating above were bright winged butterflies tossed here and there by the fragrant breezes entering through the shaded easements. The chandelier hang ing above the daisy field was in the semblance of one large daisy blossom.
