To the friends and neighbors who rendered assistance and consolation in our late bereavement, we return heartfelt thanks; also to those who furnished flowers on the occasion of the funeral. Mr. and Mrs. Moses SNOW. A. H. LOCKWOOD has bought A. J. BROWN's stock of goods, will add to it, and will resume "trade" here. This will be good news to the public, for "Isaac" is one of those genial fellows whom it is a pleasure to deal with, and whom one does not grudge the best end of a bargain. A citizens' meeting to discuss the market day problem, was held at W. D. BALL's store, last Friday evening. G. W. BILLINGS was chosen chairman pro tem. The chief business transacted was to choose a committee to circulate a petition for a market day; viz., J. A. DENNETT, Geo. W. BILLINGS, and Chas. RAYMOND. B. F. WHELDEN has sold his building lot on main street, adjoining A. J. BROWN's store, to Mr. BROWN; consideration, $500. The lot has been appraised by listers at $700, and Mr. WHELDEN has paid taxes on it at that rate for six years; but having decided that there is little likelihood of his ever building thereon, he let it go to someone who will. Howard post, G. A. R., at the annual meeting, last Saturday evening, chose these officers for the year ensuing: A. T. MOORE, commander; J. Y. RAISTRICK, S. V. C. ; W. W. FISH, J. V. C. ; R. E. HATHORN, Q. M.; O. GASSETT, surgeon; Charles H. RAY, chaplain; M. M. TARBLE, officer-of-the-guard; delegates to the state encampment, Charles H. RAY, L. O. WEEKS; alternates, H. L. WARNER, John McGOWAN. Landlord E. P. WARNER of the Ludlow House has levanted; the cause, wanted at County Court for second offense under the liquor law, for which he was under bonds. There is said, also, to be information filed against him sufficient to insure him a long term at the workhouse, should he return. Under the new law, jumping bail is little avail except as a temporary evasion; a bench warrant is now issued in such cases, and a vigorous prosecution made obligatory upon the states attorney. All things considered, Ludlow air would seem to be anything but healthy for the absentee for some time to come. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton [email protected] Dummerston, VT
