STRONG INDEPENDENT CO.
New Telephone Organization Building
in Orleans County. Many
Stock Takers.
Items have appeared in these
columns from time to time about the
independent telephone situation in
Orleans county. A few weeks ago it
was announced that the Independent
Telephone association had filed articles
of association and were ready to do
business. .This association has its
headquarters in Glover and Greens
boro, has a charter right to do busi
ness anywhere in the state and is
starting an aggressive campaign in
the southern end of Orleans county.
Poles have been scattered and set
from Greensboro Bend to Barton
through Glover, telephone instruments
ordered and arrangements completed
for this company to connect with the
Barton Telephone Exchange company,
an independent concern operating in
the village of Barton with about 100
instruments, also with the Union lines
in Caledonia and Washington counties
with several hundred subscribers.
Central stations will be maintained at
Barton, Greensboro Bend, Hardwick,
St. Johnsbury and further south. The
whole system will be in working order
this fall.
The men behind the enterprise
speak well for its success. R. A.
Ritchie of Greensboro Bend is presi
dent, Fred Corliss of Glover, vice
president; F. A. Amsden of Greens
boro Bend, treasurer; A. C. Chase of
Greensboro Bend, clerk and V. D.
King of Greensboro Bend secretary.
The directors in addition to the first
three above named officers are Dr. N.
L. Dow and R. E. Davis of Glover, W.
W. Willey of Sheffield and John
Lumsden and Benjamin Demars of
Greensboro Bend. Mr. Ritchie in
forms the Monitor that the extension
of their lines immediately into the
West Glover and South Albany and
Sheffield territory has been urgently
solicited. Whether such an under
taking will be made this fall has
not been determined but it is very
evident that there is a demand for the
service and that this association con
nected with the Barton company and
the independent lines at the south
forms the nucleus for an independent
organization of strength and useful
ness. Stock in the enterprise is being
taken by many representative men in
the south end of the county.
It is also understood A. R. Wells of
Newport is circulating a paper in
Newport for capital stock in the new
independent company with, success and
the extension of independent lines
into the northern part of the county
is likely to result in the not far
distant future.

Farewell Social for Miss Seaver.
Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Baldwin threw
open their home last evening for an
informal1 goodbye social in honor of
Miss Clemma Seaver, who leaves soon
for Simmons college. ,The program
was one of talent, consisting of vocal
solos by Miss Marion Bickford, Miss
Amy Davis, Mrs. R. P. Webster and
Miss Marion Redfield; readings by
Mrs. E. G. Baldwin and a violin solo
by Master Henry Buswell. The only
drawback of the evening was the
thought of the departure of Miss Seaver
and was well expressed in original
words sung to the tune of, "My
Bonnie."
A large company was present but
only represented a fraction of the
friends and well-wishers of Miss Sea
ver. She has ever been exceptionally
willing and active in promoting every
uplifting interest, endearing herself
to all, and in going aw.ay for further
study only broadens her field of useful
ness. Ten dollars in gold was present
ed to her.

ECHOES FROM GETTYSBURG
A. W. Willey of Orleans Writes the
. Monitor What He Saw and Heard at
Great Reunion.
Mr. Editor:
I started from Orleans June 28th
at
10 a. m. and joined the SDecial train at
White River Junction and went to New
London, Conn., and New York city,
arriving at New York just before
sunrise. So we had a splendid view of
the city and high buildings and bridges
which was very interesting for me.
The next stop was at Philadelphia,
where we took luncheon, which was
good and reasonable in price. Started
from Philadelphia at 11.10 July 29 and
arrived at Gettysburg on our camp
ground a little before 4 p. m.
After leaving my suitcase m the tent
which was assigned to me I stepped
out to look around. I saw some vets
coming into camp. As I met them I
saw they were North Carolinians. I
met them and commenced to shake
hands. I came to one vet and shook
hands with him and he stepped to one
side and said, "You liked to killed me
here 50 years ago." I told him 1 was
not going to kill him now for we were
all friends and brothers.
After talking with them for some
time it was about supper time. We
were to dine at 5.30. So we fell in one
rank as in war times at one end of
the cook tent where our kit consisted
of a plate, knife, fork, two spoons and
drinking cup. We had plenty to eat
and to spare and good enough. All
the fault anyone could find was with
the side dishes which were minus.
After receiving our grub we went to
our tent o eat. After eating all we
wished, we returned what was left to
the cook tent, and all the food that
was left was thrown into a fire which
was .for that purpose. We could not
eat more than two thirds what was
given us at first.
After the fine repast, being some
what tired from my short ride of about
600 miles I began to think about lodg
ing for I had not lain down since I left
I Orleans. Our tents had 8 cots and
each cot should have 'had two blankets,
but Uncle Sam's boys had not left but
one so we retired at 9. About two
o'clock there was a great uproar in
camp, it being a very cold night.
Everyone was very cold all over our

AVIATOR KILLED AT RUTLAND.
Aviator George Schmidt, a native

While about 200 feet in the air his
machine suddenly turned turtle and
came to the ground like a plummet,
killing Schmidt and probably fatally
injuring J. Dyer Spellman, judge of
the Rutland municipal court, a passen
