The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, June 28, 1889 East Wallingford 6/28/1889 There will be a strawberry and ice-cream festival for the benefit of the East Wallingford band, at the school-house, Tuesday evening, July 2d. Come all, and help the band, for they have been unfortunate, having lost some of their instruments in the fire last fall, and now wish to procure some more. Frank CARLEY is improving slowly, but it will be some time before he will be able to be about. Fishermen are having better luck, now, as I have seen a number of handsome strings of pickerel caught at Mechanicsville. C. M. POWELL is lame, cause, erysipelas in the foot. Hay-crop is looking good, now. If the farmers can only have good weather to secure it, barns will be filled Miss Minnie WILDER is canvassing for the "History of the Johnstown Flood."
