The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, December 21, 1888 Cuttingsville 12/21/1888 Mrs. Wesley MARTIN is slowly recovering from a paralytic shock sustained while visiting friends in Granville, N. Y., some weeks ago. George GOODRICH met a large black bear in the road between HOSKISON's and Ludlow, last week. His attention was first called to the animal by his horses throwing up their heads and refusing to go; he looked for the cause, and saw bruin turn out of the road and shamble down the hillside into the woods. Two or three gangs of Swedes and Italians have been chopping wood and sawing logs, in and about town. Still lumber manufacturers cry out against removing the duty on lumber, alleging they cannot compete with foreign labor, while they employ foreigners instead of American laborers, "Oh, Consistency, thou art a rare jewel." R. D. BUCKLIN has placed in position some very fine Scotch granite monumental work at the graves of G. W. FOSTER and Mrs. C. E. ADAMS, in Laurel Glen cemetery.

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, December 21, 1888 North Shrewsbury 12/21/1888 Rodney BURDITT, who has been for many years engaged in the manufacture of lumber and chair-stock, finished up last week, and transferred his mill to his son, Allen, who proposes to push the business with vigor. We are pleased to not that he is employing all our young men who need and are willing to work. Among the number we mention Myron ACKLEY, Harley HEWITT, Joseph BARRETT, Fred and Frank JOHNSON, with his brothers Elwin and Altie BURDITT; and as most of our Green Mountain boys know how to chop, drive a team, or run a mill, we expect to hear a good account of them. We congratulate the boys on securing so good a job for the winter. Our venerable neighbor Jabez BUTLER had a slight shock of palsy, last Thursday, in which for a time he lost the use of his limbs. Dr. RUSTED was called, and by his help, together with the excellent care the patient's faithful wife gives him, he has been prevented, thus far, from dropping into the sleep of death. The old gentleman is very grateful for the filial affection shown him by his daughter, Mrs. GUILD and her husband, who happily live under the same roof and can and do hasten at call to his help when needed. We learn that our enterprising townsman, H. G. HEWITT, who has been ready to buy all the fat livestock our farmers have had to sell, for several years, and for the past year has run a meat-market in Rutland, has taken in as a partner Mr. WHITNEY, late conductor on the Vermont Central railroad, well known for his urbanity. We wish the new firm abundant success. We are pleased to add that Irwin HEWITT is retained by the firm as one of the helpers.

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, December 21, 1888 Mechanicsville 12/21/1888 T. A. COOTEY has bought a "Gold Mine" suckling colt, and C. W. PRIEST a two-year-old of the same stock, for breeding purposes, this Fall. If you want to see good-looking thoroughbred Holstein cattle, go to N. B. PINNEY's farm. J. W. THOMAS killed two hogs, this Fall, some fifteen months old, that dressed ten hundred and sixty pounds. C. W. PRIEST has bought of S. M. DICKERMAN all the land on the east side of the road on the Thomas DANA farm, including the house and wood-lot on the same. P. E. CHASE has more logs in his mill-yard than ever before in the month of December. Mrs. O. B. CALL was brought here to be buried by the side of her husband, the 17th inst. Marshall COLE of Brattleboro and Horace COLE of Felchville were in town, this week. Marshall TARBELL is still busy, this season, in lumber interest and getting off railroad wood. Since the first of last June he has cut and delivered to the railroad, from the L. A. IVES lot, some twelve hundred cords, finishing up that lot. In the past six weeks he has bought some half a dozen other smaller lots, that he is now operating on; and has recently bought some hundred cords of ash and oak in Pittsford. If the days and nights were only longer, he would do still more business than he can do now. Now, gentlemen, tax payers of the town, who are still behind in taxes to the amount of about four thousand dollars, would it not be in order to step up and pay your taxes so you could save some interest money to help pay for breaking out roads this winter? The funeral of Mrs. Oscar COLE of Brattleboro was held in the M. E. church, last Monday afternoon, Rev. Mr. HANDY officiating. George CHASE, who is attending school at Montpelier, has been home on a vacation, recently. There is to be a horse trot on the pond, for a blanket, Christmas day. None can compete for the blanket who live out of town. The horses are to be four years old. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton [email protected] Dummerston, VT
