Six 'Prep" Schools Have Track Meet.

The academy interstate track meet
at the ST. Johnsbury fairgrounds on
Saturday, May 81, was a success from
every point of view. Brattleboro and
Rutland, who had been expected, did
not compete, and this gave the games
the zest of keen competition they
would not otherwise have had. Island
Ponds entries furnished several sensa-
tions, Stevens in the quarter was clev-
er, and Marsh ran the best schooIboy
mile seen in Vermont this spring.
Dave Mills of st. Johnsbury was the
star of the meet, taking three frsts.
Rowell of Craftsbury showed himself
to be regular athlete and with a lit
tie experience will be star. Lyndon
Institutes entries showed up we'll
Varney, Hall and Hutchins being es-
pecially good. Peacham and Hard
wick did not score heavily but it is
their first year at track and each
team had several likely men in its
squad who show promise for next
year.
The cup was won by ST. Johns
bury academy.
Total score. Island Pond, 81: Hard

District Meetings.

District meetings held at West
Charleston, Troy and South Albany
were fairly well attended. A good
number of committee members at
tended these meetings besides a large
number of other people interested in
the work of the Farm Bureau. Miss
Sarah Petit of Washington, Miss
Charlotte Pierpont and J. E. Carrigan
of Burlington, told of the work of the
Farm Bureaus in the state of Yer
mont and in the northern and western
states of the United States. 1t is
hard to realize at times that in being
member of the Orleans County
Farm Bureau one is a member of
vast organization which in time will
include the largest part of the men
and women in the rural districts of
he United States. The work of the
Farm Bureaus of the United States is
vet in its infancy.

Rev. W. A. Warmers Resignation.

I " -" w Cl1
/ (The following is from the last is
sue of the Express and Standard, be-
ing printed anonymously
We're sorry our brother has left us.
His service with US is no more;
His absence has truly bereft us
And countless the hearts that are
sore.
His work was comforting sorrow
And thousands his pity has blessed;
Who'll fill his place on the morrow
With bereaved and sorely distressed?
We hoped he'd dwell with US ever
Till he heard the plaudit "well done"
That nothing our union would sever
Till wearing the crown he had won.
A sage likens words fitIy spoken
To pictures and apples of gold.
We treasure his words as token
And prize them in values untold.
Of words and word-painting amaster,
His pictures we watched with delight;
1t seems nothing short of disaster
That we should be robbed of their
sight.
His flowers of fancy refreshed us
Aesthetic-his genius excelled,
A "golden-mouthed" prophet" he
blessed us
Our closest attention he held
An artist of wonderful powers,
With diction exquisitely sweet;
His eloquence poured out in showers
With wit and rare wisdom replete.
Kind voice and dignifed bearing,
And grand picturesqueness of style; .
While speaking his features were
wearing
The sheen of an innocent smile.
The county is lonesome without him,
It's conscious each day of its loss;
Sweet memories hover about him
Reluctant-we take up the cross.
In vain do we search for another
To fill the large place in our heart
Our preacher, companion and brother |
And grandly to act every part.
Conscientious in his preparation,
Each week bringing forth something |
new;
So brilliant was his conversation
1t sparkled like showers of dew.

sweetness,

and yet so retiring,
He always disparaged his gift;

But he'd not accept the uplift.

The lambs and the sheep of his flock.

His storehouse of blessing unlock.
