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.
