The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, February 5, 1886 South Londonderry 2/5/1886 Zeno BABBITT, son of Cyrus BABBITT is visiting his parents. Mr. PIKE wife and child, from Wilmington, are visiting relatives here. Mrs. WIGHT continues to improve. Miss Emma ROSS is at work for her at present. We learn that F. WINCHESTER, our hardware merchant, is under the weather. Mrs. Geo. HUNTINGTON returned, last week, Saturday, from a few days' visit in Jamaica. The sociable met at Mr. RAMSEDELL's Wednesday. Uncle Bliss GODDARD is no better; but on the contrary, gradually failing. his son Henry, and wife, from the West, were sent for, and arrived here last week, Thursday night. Our post-office was removed, last Saturday night from Geo. SMITH's store to that of H. P. CHASE. The drum-orps was out and played THE DIRGE. Geo. HUNTINGTON will attend to the business of the office generally, he being Mr. GODDARD's assistant. There was quite a gathering at the rink, last week Friday night. The occasion, as we have stated before, was a celebration of the birthday of Mrs. St. ONGE. She was made the recipient of a hanging-lamp. The school exercises came off at the town hall, Monday evening, although quite a number of the scholars from the village school went in a different direction to attend a party. We think the party would have kept on ice one day longer; but "There are many men of many minds." Miss Florence SMITH took the prize in reading and speaking, and, we hear, stood the longest in the spelling contest. The party of which we speak was at Cyrus BABBITT's, and we understand 18 or 20 went up there from the village in a big team. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton [email protected] Dummerston, VT
