The Tuskegee Concert.
Remember the concert by the
colored quartette and reader from
Tuskegee college to be given in the
Congregational church Tuesday even
ing next, Aug 26, at 8 o'clock. In
their tour of New England this com
pany of students have given the
highest of satisfaction in their dialect
songs, readings and suothern melodies.
They were sent out by Dr. Booker T.
Washington to represent Tuskegee
university, and bring to us that rich
ness of quality in vocal tones found
only in the negro. - The young men
are clean fellows, working for the
interests of their school, which wants
the support of this community. The
proceeds will be divided between the
school and the local C. E. society.
The admission price is 25 cents and
the concert will be well worth the
price.

BIG LIVE STOCK SHOW
One of the Largest and Finest Exhibits
of Stock "Ever Seen at OrleanvCounty 1
Fair. Good Crowd Today.
The Orleans County fair has "come
back." Every horse stall and every
cattle shed is full to overflowing with
exhibition stock and mwny stalls were
necessarily rented outside the grounds
to give shelter to stock brought for
exhibition. And the quality of the
exhibits is above the usual. Not only
is the stock exhibit above par but the
floral hall exhibits are better than
last year ; every inch of space is
occupied in the floral hall by displays
of various kinds and every inch of
ground is rented to various fakers
which makes up a large "midway."
The racing promises to be excep
tionally good also. Over 60 race horses
are on the grounds and as this is the
first fair of the season most of them
will start at Barton "to find their
pace," and some of them at least will
not start at other meets later in the
season. In two classes starting this
afternoon, there are six and nine
starters and the races for Thursday
and Friday are as full.
All premium stock will be kept on
the ground until Friday and with some
of the best races, a good ball game,
band, stage performances and all,
Friday will be one of the best days.
Elegant weather appears to have
favored the management and the
crowd today seems to foretell three
big days.

TELEPHONE SITUATION DISCUSSED
Mr. Editor. . !
Will you permit an ex-telephone
subscriber to say something through
the columns of your paper relative to
the live topic of the present telephone
situation? Coming to town four years
ago we found an excellent independent
telephone line, serving the public well
at the price of one dollar per month
After a time we heard with regret
that a contemplated sale of the
independent line to the New England
Telephone company was about to be
consummated.
We heard this with regret because
the public knows well that, due either
to inefficient management, or to an
inordinate desire to get the last
possible dollar at the earliest oppor
tunity an advance in price ranging
from 25 per cent to 100 per cent in
telephone rates must be expected under
the New England Telephone company.
We also expected a decrease in free
zone territory ;a tyrannical enforcement
of toll-rates to guests who happened
to be temporary residents in our
homes ; and spot cash payment or a
notice to pay at once orjphone serice
would be discontinued. These were
our expectations and we were disap
pointed in them only once, namely,
when the first notice of advance came,
an advance of 25 per cent, because the

3 DROWN AT WILLOUGHBY
Sailboat, Heavily Ballasted, Topples
Over and Sinks, Carrying Three With '
It. Bodies not Recovered.
The first drowning accident in many
years at Willoughby lake occurred
yesterday when Dana and Motty Tripp,
brothers, and Clayton Badger were
drowned. The young men started out
in an old sailboat about 11 o'clock in
the forenoon for a trip about the lake.
The boat was heavily ballasted and the
ballast tied in, as considerable trouble
had been experienced with this old
"catboat" -before and several people
spilled into the lake. The party had
not been on the lake more, than 20
minutes or half an hour when a guest
at the Willoughby house saw the boat
tip until the sail lay flat on the water
and then the whole suddenly disap
peared. Boats were rushed to the spot
which was in a line between the hotel
and the Peene residence and about
two-thirds of the way across toward
the west shore, but no trace of the
boat or its occupants could be found.
It is thought the ballast carried the
boat to the bottom after it was tipped
over, probably by the wind, and the
occupants were entangled with the
rigging and carried down. All three
of the young men were, good swimmers.
. Dragging was begun in the after
noon but nothing was brought up and
this morning a systematic hunt was
begun by means of many grapples.
Dana Tripp and Clayton Badger,
former Orleans boys, were on their
vacations from positions in Massachu
setts and Motty Tripp was employed by
his brother, H. G. Tripp, in his store at
Orleans. The Tripp boys leave a father
and mother, Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Tr;pp
of Orleans, and several brothers and
sisters. The Badger boy leaves a
mother, Mrs. Jennie Hunt and sisters
Beatrice of Orleans, Miss Carrie in
the West and Mrs. Richard Liddell of
St. Johnsbury.
Earl Fisk goes next week to Norwich
to attend a sophomore summer school
for a course in practical surveying.
The band boys got most of the fun
scheduled and some that was not, from
their trip on Saturday. They were
conveyed in five automobiles to Water
bury Inn for breakfast, and through
the courtesv of Gerald Grow,, were
conducted over the Vermont state
hospital for the insane. From there
the party went to Fort Ethan Allen,
where they saw the men -who have been
selected from the Vermont National
Guards from all over the state, at
target practice preparatory to going to
Ohio this (fall for a national meet
The rest of the day was spent in
various way's in Burlington, a failure
to make connections with the boat
necessarily cancelling that part of the
program. ,
The annual meeting of the Orleans
County Historical society was held in
the vestry of the Congregational
Church , Thursday afternoon. Rev. W.
A: 'i Warner offered Draver. Mrs. F. H.
I'illsbtiry'Vfavored the meeting with a
piano solo"-: and A. Slay ton Lang with
a clarinet solo. F. W. Baldwin, presi
d6rtt, presided over the meeting, read
ing a, short paper of historical notes
and exhibited a $5 banknote on the
Irasburg bank issued in 1865 and
signed by Ira Allen, and also
certificate of stock issued by that bank
to Wm. P. May in 1851. Mr. Baldwin
was re-elected president, C. S. Emery
of Newport and W. S. Robbins of
Derby, vice-presidents and Wallace H.
Gilpin of Barton, secretary-treasurer.

EULOGIZES OLD SOLDIER
A Stirring Eulogy for E. B. Varney, For
merly of Barton, and Extracts from
His Interesting Diary.
The Lawrence, Mass., Evening Trib
une of July 28 contains a stirring
eulogy on the life of E. B. Varney,
who died at that place on July 22.
The eulogy was delivered by the Rev.
C. E. McColley at Mr. Varney's funeral
and was induced by numerous extracts
from Mr. Varney's diary while in the
war and his exemplary life. Mr.
Varney enlisted from Barton and is
remembered by many here. The
Lawrence paper says the text used
was Rom. 12: 1 "I beseech you there
fore, brethren, by the mercies of God
that ye present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable, service."
God has called another of the Grand
Army to himself. On that other shore
they are gathering in vast numbers.
It seems fitting that we should consider
the willing sacrifice they gave for
their country. In Brother Varney's
diary I find many times the expressed
desire to re-enlist in the service of his
country.
He loved his country and he loved
his God. His Bible was a precious
storehouse from which he drew extra
"rations" for the needs of his soul.
While in the army he attended divine
service and one entry speaks of the
chaplain preaching from the text.
"Almost thou persuadest me to be a
Christian."
The members of his own immediate
family have preceded him to that
better land, where there is no suffer
ing and no tears. He was left alone,
and for many years was deprived of
the intimate fellowship of his own
blood. .
The touching, tender tribute he
pays to his brother, who re-enlisted
and the second time served in the
same company with him, is one of the
most pathetic things I have read in a
long time. ?r
He had a copy of the last letter his
brother Harrison wrote to his wife
when he was on his death bed, also a
