The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, June 28, 1889 Chester 6/28/1889 At the Congregational church, Tuesday p. m., a fair-sized audience attended the service by which Rev. W. L. NOYES was installed pastor of the church. The council, after a satisfactory examination of the pastor, organized by choosing Rev. Mr. DASCOMB of Bellows Falls, chairman. Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. CHAPIN of Saxtons River. Singing by the full choir. Rev. Dr. PHILIPS of Rutland preached a strong intellectual sermon. The charge to the candidate was given by Rev. Mr. WEEDEN of Springfield; the charge to the church, by Rev. Mr. DASCOMB, wasfilled with good advice and many pithy sayings. After remarks by Rev. H. B. TILDEN of the Baptist church, and singing, the congregation were dismissed, pastor NOYES pronouncing the benediction. The exercises were very interesting throughout, and those present felt they had enjoyed a rich treat. Mrs. SMITH of Concord, N. H., widow of the late Dr. SMITH of Hanover, N. H., is the guest of Rev. J. S. CHAPMAN. At the school-meeting of district No.20, held Tuesday evening, J. S. CHAPMAN was chosen moderator, clerk and treasurer; Hugh HENRY, committee; George GRANT, collector. Twenty cents on the dollar was raised for school expenses, and 15 cents to pay of indebtedness. Merritt and Will FULLER returned, Wednesday, from a fishing trip to Winhall and Stratton. They report a first-rate time, and the number of trout brought home was sufficient proof of their shill and good luck in capturing the speckled beauties. Fred BAILEY went to Troy, N. Y., Thursday, where he has secured a clerkship in a stationery store. The selectmen have supplied a long-felt want by putting in an iron water-trough at the lower end of the park, and conveying water to it by lead pipe from a spring on High street. Much hay in this vicinity was caught out by the rain, Wednesday. The wool in this vicinity has been mostly sold, at prices from 24 cents for unwashed to 34 cents for washed. [Attention her, Bro.
