The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, August 9, 1889 Bellows Falls 8/9/1889 The annual exodus to Lake Sunapee began last week, and still continues. A union temperance meeting is announced to be held at the Methodist church next Sunday evening. The Baptist Sunday-school picnic at Warren Pond, Tuesday of next week. The Fall Mountain Paper Co. are erecting a 700-foot log-slide to their saw-mill across the river, similar to the one on this side. Close on to 50 tickets for the Providence Island excursion were sold here, last Tuesday. Daniel GRAHAM sustained severe injuries by a fall from a staging at the Fall Mountain Paper Co.'s mill, last Friday. The hight was 15 feet. Dr. NOBLE and wife, and C. H. GIBSON and wife, are taking a trip to the Adirondacks. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. DAY are taking a carriage trip in Massachusetts. The Universalist pastor being away on a vacation, there will be no service at that church, next Sunday. The base-ball record of the Bellows Falls club has been a good one, this week. Last Saturday the Claremonts came here and took a drubbing of 12 to 4, the score being 9 to 0 up to the 5th inning, and the visitors being whitewashed three times after that. Tuesday of this week, the Brattleboro aggregation came here and mopped the diamond with our boys tune 1- to 4. (Paper torn. RHB) But the B. F.'s went tot he windy town below, next day and pulled off a game 2 to1, which sent home stock up again. The Northamptons play here this (Thursday) afternoon, and on Saturday our boys go to Claremont to gather chestnuts. Brattleboro jeers at Bellows Falls' claim to the champion club of the state; but if we don't get there we shall come within one of it.
