The Campbell Re.UniOn
AS has been often exclaimed with til

| AS has been often exclaimed with the
| poet:-
| "And what is so rare as day in June7
| Then, If ever, come perfect days..
But this year June has had very few
'periect" days, therefore members and
invited guests of the Campbell Reunion
Society to the number of about seventy,
who assembled at the home of Mr.. and
| Mrs. II. H. Hyde at Centerville for their
| 34th semi-annual reunion, were truly
| thankful for the perfect day which June
| "a, 1916, proved to be. However, 1t
should be noted that whatever the
weather may have been when it comes
to the time for the June meeting OF this
society the day is invariably mild and
fair-and this one was just as usual.
Dinner, and the usual feast of good
| things it was, was served at noon. The
afternoon was spent in social intercourse
and during that time the guests were en-
tertained with several piano selectio ms,
beautifully rendered by Miss Marjorie
Gates. Delicious lemonade was served
during the afternoon. The time passed
all too quickly and the guests departed
with pleasant memories of this reunion.
The attendance was unusually large
and to Mr.. and Mrs. Hyde are due much
credit for the success of the affair.
Among those present were Mrs. David
Sherwin, who reached her 8Oth birthday
Tuesday of this week, and Mrs. Lucy
Campbell, widow of Calvin Campbell,
who is in her send year. Mrs. Camp
bell is the oldest and last surviving men,
Der of the original Campbell family and
she has been present at every meeting
of the society. May she be permitted to
attend many more. Nobody enjoys
these gatherings more than she. Besides
representatives from the home town
there were present members from Nor
risville, Hardwick and Barre.
The event was another Of those mem
orable occasions for which the society is
noted and the large attendance isevidence
that the interest is not waning, but rather
is looked forward to year by year by
those who take pride not only in belong
ing to the society, but also in the fact
that they are descendants OF worthy
family, whose memory they will ever
cherish and whose good deeds and exem-
plary lives they strive to initiate
TNoTR.-Thls report is from another source
than the Secretary; her relationship and modesty
being such that she could net give the event the
write.up it merits.-ED

LAMOILLE COUNTY COURT

Court came in Tuesday morning to dis
pose of the court cases remaining on the
trial list, and had busy day, eight cases
being disposed of.
The following cases were heard on the
report of masters, auditors and referees,
and are all with the court for Judgement
F. R. Child v. j. B. Stewart, an accounting
both in law and chancery. Heard on ex-
captions to the report of Special Master
and Referee, j. Ward Carver. Fleetwood
for plaintiff; Maurice for defendant.
B. A. Hunt v. r. H. Fuller, Surviving
Partner. An action of book account, to
recover for services claimed to have been
performed for the defendant and his moth
er. Hunt, pro Sc; Maurice for defendant.
J. 8. Emery, Collector, v. BERTHE Hunt
Sheldon; w. g. Jones, Collector, v. BERTHE
Hunt Sheldon, and Town of Johnson, and
Town of Eden v. BERTHE Hunt Sheldon.
These four cases were all suits for the col
lection of taxes assessed on land formerly
owned by 8. A. Hunt in Eden and John
son, on the grand lists of 1910 and 1911.
Fleetwood and Hulburd for plaintiffs !;
Hunt for defendant.
In the divorce case of Susie A. Grant, ".
f. p. Grant, an order was made for the
payment of temporary alimony of $500 per
week, and counsel fees of $50 to the attor
neys for the petitioner. Maurice and Hull
burd for the petitioner; Fleetwood for pc
titionee.
Henry j. Beyor of Morrisville was
brought into court upon an information
filed by States Attorney Maurice, charging
him with grand larceny of trunk and
contents from the station at Morrsville,
the property of Mrs. Charles Whitney.
Beyor pied guilty, and was sentenced to
not less than two years nor more than two
and one half years In the House of Cor
rection at Rutland, at hard la Dor. He will
be taken down by Sheriff Town Thursday
morning. This makes the fifth plea Of
guilty to serious crimes this term, and is
probably record for this county. Beyor
is young man, but has made his mark in
the stealing line in Morrsvlle lately.
Among the other thefts with which he is
connected, are that of a rain coat from one
Wilkins with an umbrella to help the coat
out; a bicycle from Ned Foss; and pack
age of child's clothing from the wagon of
Arthur Stowell under the church sheds.
His sentence ought to be lesson to some
of the other sneak thieves who have been
operating in Morrisville this spring. r.
W. Hulburd was assigned by the Court as
counsel for the respondent.
At 4:35 the Court ordered the Sheriff to
make proclamation that the June Term of
the Lamoille County Court had adjourned
without day, and when the sonorous voice
OF the Sheriff had so informed the audi
ence, the June Term was a thing of the
past.

A Wrong Guess

A Middlebury correspondent of the
Springfield Republican has been having a
bad dream. He dreamed that, in case
Carroll S. Page was elected United States
Senator he would ere long resign, and
that, by preconcerted arrangement, the
then Governor, the Hon. Horace F.
Graham. would appoint young Red6eld
Proctor in his place.
This Middlebury man must be iguo-
rant of at least three things, else he
would never have ventured this predic-
tiou First, of certain unwritten Yer
mont history which began about the
time that Hon. D. J. Foster was first
elected to Congress. Second of the
nature OF Senator Page, if he thinks that
he would campaign to secure a reelection
only to relinquish the prize to apother.
Third, of the character of Mr.. Graham,
if he thinks that he is a party to any
such prediction pledge. And we might
say, fourth, if he thinks that any such
specious methods are necessary for the
political progress of Redfield Proctor the
Second He can stand on his own merits,
and appeal to the people of the state on
his own record, as he makes it, and get
whatever promotion he may have earned
when the time comes.
We advise our Middlebury friend, who
ever he may be. to stop eating mince pie
before he goes to bed, and then he will be
less liable to such foolish and impro babe
dreams.-Springield Reporter

TRADE WAR WITH

The possibility Of a trade war with

Another difficulty which the Gov

there was 80 much cargo they were
justified In not taking that OF q doubt-

take the matter.up shortly with the
