The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, August 23, 1889 Weathersfield Center 8/23/1889 The latest misfortune to overtake farmers is the rotting of potatoes. Some fields will not produce a single sound tuber, and every hill has more or less rotten ones. Fortunate, indeed, is he who has a quantity which are not rotten. Grain is all cut; and save for a slight rusting, is as heavy as the average. Weathersfield is a great place for dogs. More dogs than are necessary. A large number are away at camp-meeting, this week. B. H. ALBEE has bought the VERMONT MONTHLY of W. S. S. BUCK of West Randolph, and hereafter it will be published by F. W. STILES at the REPORTER office in Springfield. Increased attention will be given to Vermont matters, and a history of the prominent business firms of the state will be given from month to month. Rev. A. S. CHASE of Olcott, N. H., was visiting friends here, last week. After our regular pastor leaves, it is likely that Mr. CHASE will supply here occasionally. Edgar CHAMBERLAIN raised a fine field of wheat, this season. It seems as though more Vermont farmers might profitably cultivate this valuable grain. B. H. ALBEE is at Claremont Junction, this week, engaged on the CAMP-MEETING REPORTER and as correspondent of the RUTLAND HERALD. Denison M. WHITE of Rutland, a resident of 40 years ago, visited his old home here, last week. An effort is to be made to raise funds so that preaching can be had sometime after Mr. PERRIN leaves. Who will give for this purpose, and how much per Sunday? What will ministers come for? and how much will outside friends help us? The Sunday-school concert will be Sept. 1st. Subject, "Fruits of the Spirit." All invited. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT
