The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, July 26, 1889 Spafford 7/26/1889 Twenty-four tickets sold here, to Barnum's circus at Rutland. Moses MARSH can boast of the best piece of pop-corn in this immediate vicinity, considering the length of tome it has been planted; some of it now six feet tall. This corn was planted on the Pacific Guano, too. Mrs. Asa SCALES is ill; treated by Dr. EMERSON. Mrs. Ellen BATCHELDER and daughter, of Manchester, N. H., arrived at S. C. GIDDINGS', last Friday, to spend the warm season. Charles WAITE of Bellows Falls has been stopping at his father's--Fred WAITE--for a week. In speaking of the Mrs. BRESSETT accident, last week, it read as though this Mr. DAVIS was some town officer, which was not the case. The waste stuff left in the bounds of the highway was Parkman DAVIS', and Mr. DAVIS was merely trying to settle for his own matters, thinking it would be better and cheaper for him to settle with Mrs. BRESSETT than a lawyer; which he has done for $150 paid her and $20 to D. W. DOW for damage to team. Others in town who are obstructing the highways should take heed. Mr. DAVIS said he thought perhaps it would be better to pay them satisfactory damage now, so there would be nothing to hinder her immediate recovery. WE are now informed by good authority that she has so far recovered that the entire family have left for parts unknown, taking with them the money and leaving creditors to get what they can.
