The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, November 23, 1888 Windham 11/23/1888 The stone bridge at the foot of town hill is completed and a good one it is, too; but it has cost something. Mrs. James STEARNS is slowly failing. Mrs. L. M. EDSON is very low, with little hopes of recovery. Fred S. WELLMAN starts for Ohio, ths week, we understand. Jester P. SMITH, the photographer, has taken up his abode with Ezra PIERCE, for the present. A change is being made in the road, district No. 6, for winter travel, commencing just down opposite of the house known as the Sim PIERCE, place, and continuing down the little brook just over the Grafton line towards the Widow HOLDEN's place--a very good change. Now let the fathers of the town carry the good work farther and see what can be done on the Mill road (so called). It is the mail route and is traveled four times the amount the other road is, and is not half as easy to keep broken out. Let the selectmen lay a winter road say commencing near BALLOU's house and running west of the fence in the meadow, then through S. A. HOLDEN's land toward the pond bridge; then we can have a road through town all winter. J. E. GOULD has been granted a small pension of $2 per month and about $600 back pay, which was opportune and thankfully received, his wife having been almost a helpless invalid for nearly twenty years; his health is poor, but Cleveland had no chance to pass his veto on that pension bill.

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, November 23, 1888 Chester 11/23/1888 Last Thursday evening, about 8 o'clock, the fire alarm sounded, and flames were seen issuing from the barn of P. H. HUTCHINSON, situated on upper Main street. The house had been uninhabited for many years, except at intervals, but it was filled with furniture, valuable books, silverware, etc., as Mr. HUTCHINSON spent his vacations here. the barn was filled with hay, and the fire evidently started by a lighted match applied to it. Just before it broke out, a man was seen to run out on to Church street, between H. B. BOOTH's and the blacksmith-shop, and make his way over the hill towards the North street. Undoubtedly this person was the incendiary, but for what purpose it is difficult to decide. The insurance on the property was small. It was fortunate that the fire occurred at the time it did, when everything was soaked from the rain, or the loss would have been much greater. Heroic work was done by the Depot firemen, and the South Street citizens evidently appreciate it, which they will show in a substantial way. G. A. ORDWAY and Miss Lizzie WHITMORE were united in marriage, before a few relatives and intimate friends, by Rev. T. S. OCKFORD, Thursday morning. Charles WALKER has an upholsterer from Boston at work for him, having added that business to his furniture. Charles ROBBINS and G. H. HILTON started for Omaha, Neb., last week, and will visit other points West in the month or more they expect to be abroad. F. W. PIERCE is now domiciled in his new home quarters over the store.

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, November 23, 1888 Springfield 11/23/1888 Grand Republican torch-light parade and illuminations, Saturday evening, celebrating the late Republican victory. Several hundred torchbearers marched in procession over the route laid out by the committee, nearly every residence in the village being illuminated--but very few dark ones. The band and drum corps accompanied the procession throughout their long march of about five miles, furnishing excellent music. Refreshments were served at the town hall. Springfield never showed out brighter lights than on this occasion. (You don't suppose this paper is a Republican partisan paper, do you? RHB) Monday afternoon the remains of Mrs. Charles HEMENWAY were brought here from Brattleboro for burial. Mrs. HEMENWAY had for many years been a resident of this town, but removed to Brattleboro about two years ago. She had been a great sufferer for many months, with cancer of the breast. Mr. H. has the sympathy of his many friends here in his great affliction. Harvey PARTRIDGE aged 65, died Tuesday night with pneumonia, after a short sickness.

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, November 23, 1888 Felchville 11/23/1888 Fred CADY is gaining slowly. Albert KENDALL is quite sick with a fever. We have heard that Galen TARBELL has the mumps. Hugh WHITE and wife are in Boston; will be gone about two weeks. We made a mistake about the saw-mill, last week. It is now owned by Alfred MEGRATH, instead of WARDNER. The remains of G. A.

They arrived here in time for dinner; and as GODDARD weighs about 225 pounds we presume WITHINGTON relished his dinner. The wheeling was the result of an election wager.

Mike TOLE is helping E. L. MACK at the blacksmith shop. E. W. SMITH has just returned from a week's visit to Boston. H. L. WADLEIGH has moved on to his new purchase-the LOVELL place. Winter's compliments; and how does 1 below 0 suit you, this morning. A. A. BALDWIN is home from Pennsylvania, not finding things there to his liking. Mrs. Geo. C. KNIGHT is spending the week with her daughter, in Bellows Falls. Mrs. F. S. BROWN and family will occupy a part of Mrs. SLACK's house, this winter. Col. D. J. SAFFORD and daughter Cora A., of Morrisville, are guests at A. F. SHERMAN's. Mrs. Betsy MEYERS, from Ames, Iowa, is again the guest of her niece, Mrs. S. P. SHERWIN. G. H. LEVEY and F. O. KNIGHT have been in Montpelier this week, on Masonic business. John BOYLE, Mrs. READY, Mrs. HAYDEN, and Mrs. DILLON, are still under the doctor's care. There was a "dog" around the moon, yesterday morning; which means snow pretty soon. George ADAMS was up from Bellows Falls over Sunday, being the guest of F. W. SHERMAN. Mr. and Mrs. Leon E. MAYO, from Brattleboro, have been spending a few days with Mr. M.'s parents here. Saturday gave about two inches of snow; which lasted but a day or two; however, except in shaded places. Miss Carrie SLACK has returned from Pottsdam, N. Y. Miss Mary SLACK is expected home from Maine next week. "Captain" SULLIVAN has backed out of his horse trade with I. N. WADLEIGH, thinking a beast nearer his own age would be more desirable. Quite a party of her friends "surprised" Miss Maude HARRIS, Tuesday evening. Miss HARRIS will attend school at Bradford, this winter. Representative LOCKWOOD did not return to Montpelier till Wednesday, being still incapacitated for business by illness. Mrs. L. accompanied him, this time. Henry SHAFFNER was fined $10 and costs,--$14,--last week, for breach of the peace. This was an outgrowth of the BRAGG-SHAFFNER imbroglio, noted a few weeks since. T. B. STONE killed a pig, the other day, eight and one-half months old, that dressed 337 pounds. PAFF had it. This porker takes the medal, so far as heard from this season. Mrs. G. S. BRIDGE and daughter Lena started for Minneapolis, Minn., Wednesday, for a visit of some length with relatives. They were accompanied for some distance by Mr. B. Wednesday morning was the coldest of the season--from 2 to 5 above zero. Yet few were aware of the low notch to which the mercury had fallen, owing to our peculiarly dry atmosphere. The Congregational sociable was held with Mrs. WINCHESTER, on South Hill, Wednesday, the company rendezvousing at Miss Maddie BILLINGS' in the Lower Village. Rev. Geo. W. PERRY, state geologist, will deliver at Hammond hall, next Monday evening, his lecture "A Trip to the Moon," illustrated by stereopticon, many of the views being real photographs of the moon as seen through the most powerful telescopes. The band went to Proctorsville, Tuesday night, to help the citizens of that place celebrate the election of HARRISON and MORTON. Fireworks and a torch-light parade were among the features of the occasion. Arrangements have been perfected whereby Episcopal services will be held here each Sunday. Rev. T. S. OCKFORD of Chester will supply on alternate weeks, and Rev. Mr. ATWELL will be here at least once a month. Mrs. G. W. BILLINGS and daughter have been spending a portion of the week in Rutland with the former's brother--M. H. GRAVES. Mr. G. has secured a lucrative position in Cohoes, N. Y., and is about moving there. B. F. WHELDEN's infant son has the measles; supposed to have contracted the disease from a mattress used by the other children when they were ill some weeks ago, though the bedding and rooms had been renovated and purified since. There was an alarm of fire, Tuesday morning at about 8 o'clock, F. W. PRIOR's house being discovered afire about the chimney. The engine responded, but the conflagration was subdued before the machine reached the scene. No great damage resulted. L. G. COOLEDGE, secretary of the Rutland Market-Day association (if that's the name), has been in town and vicinity, the past week, seeking signatures to a petition favoring the present half-fare railroad rates to Rutland, Tuesday of each week. It is presumed he was more or less successful among the large penny-wise-pound-foolish class, who seemingly have no discernment beyond prospective immediate gain. The friends of Miss Thirzah M. SNOW, in this place will be interested in the fact that she was tendered a birthday party at her home in South Boston, the 10th inst., when she was the recipient of many beautiful presents, among them a gold watch and chain from her uncle, James C. HORWILL. The company numbered about fifty, and many who were unable to because of the weather sent congratulations. We learn that F. W. SHERMAN's business East is to make arrangements to locate in Denver, Colorado, where he has taken an interest in an electric-light company in which he has been elected secretary and treasurer. The position was offered him by the president of the company, who is a banker at Colorado Springs and an old acquaintance. Several of our citizens are testifying to their faith in "Frank's" judgement and capabilities by liberal subscriptions for stock in the concern he represents, the prospects for which are unusually bright. The THOMSON-HOUSTON is the system used. Some of the merchants of the place met at BALL's store, Monday morning, to take action in the matter of a petition against the discrimination of the railroad in favor of Rutland by granting half fare on market day. Mr. BALL was chosen chairman, Chares RAYMOND secretary, and J. A. DENNETT treasurer. After some discussion, E. A. HOWE and R. E. HATHORN were chosen a committee to present the petition before the legislative committee having the matter in charge, Wednesday. L. C. HOWE, C. H. HOWARD, and G. P. GALE, were chosen a committee to circulate the petition, and a long list of names was secured in the brief time remaining for the work. The Universalist fair, Wednesday, was quite a success. Over 200 admission ticket were sold, and probably an equal number of supper-ticket. An elaborate silk crazy quilt was disposed of by guessing at the number of seeds in a pumpkin. F. O. KNIGHT, Dick LANE, and Charlie PECK, guessing the same--225 (the actual count showing 227)--and will therefore have to gamble for the prize. A very pretty and elaborately embroidered quilt was voted to Miss Hattie FULLAM. A rug to be given the person guessing nearest to the number of tooth-picks in a certain bunch, is also unawarded by reason of too much unanimity of opinion--Mrs. J. SIMONDS, Miss Lizzie SPAULDING, A. K. GOULD, and A. C. HESSELTON, guessing 149 (150 being correct.) The Grammar school closed last week. Those having no register-marks are--Blanche BROWN, Leon COOLEDGE, Guy MAYO, Lewie PIERCE, Ethel SPENCER, Henry WHELDEN; absent one day or less--Mamie REED, Emma WILDER, Maude WHITE, Charlie WALKER, Glenn WHITE, Jamie GILL, Winnie LANE, George LEVEY. The "A Class" closed its career in the grammar building with appropriate exercises, which were attended by a goodly number. Little Blanche BROWN, in behalf of her class, presented the teacher with a handsome copy of Shelley's poems. E. Belle COOLIDGE, teacher. School in district No. 6 closed Nov. 2d. Number of scholars, 15. Those having no marks against there names are Byron LIVINGSTON, Pearl LIVINGSTON, Mamie LIVINGSTON, Ernest DIX, Ella SPAULDING, and Ervin SPAULDING.

The following pupils had no absences or tardinesses through the term--Ada WILDER, Alonzo CROSBY, Romeo EARLE, Frank ELLISON; Maggie RILEY, perfect in attendance from the time she entered the school; Clyed SUMNER , absent two days; absent but not tardy--Johnny CROSBY, Albert MERRILL, Freddie WETHERBEE, Nellie WETHERBEE.

Nearly every house occupied by Republicans was illuminated, and many were handsomely decorated with the national colors and Chinese lanterns, as were the places of business; while those of the Democrats were conspicuous for their darkness, with a single exception, where a transparency was displayed with the motto "Right will no always win: Truth crushed to earth will rise again."
