GREENSBORO'S NEW CHURCH.
Only passing notice was made m
these columns at, the time of the dedi
cation of the new United Presbyterian
church at Greensboro on July 9 and it
is with pleasure the- Monitor gives
more space to it this week.
The story as told" in the United
Presbyterian of Aug. 7; written by
Rev. John A. Wilson, L. .L. of Woo
ster, O., who preached the' dedicatory
sermon follows : v
"It was the writer's privilege, a
few days ago, to preach at the dedi
cation of the new church-which our
congregation in Greensboro has erect
ed.. There were several interesting
features in connection with this
service. The building is. commodious
and beautiful. There is some of the
finest paneling I have seen in many a
day, much of which was done gratui
tously last winter by members and
friends of the congregation.
"The dedication was held on a week
day, so that the congregations of the
presbytery rright come and rejoice
with them. The weather was some of
'Vermont's best, ' and there was a
large attendance. There was no refer
ence to the cost of the building, and
no appeal to help defray it. That
seems to be the way they do things in
Vermont.
"The dedication service was held in
the morning, after which everyone
was invited to remain for dinner,
which the ladies set up in their beau
tiful church dining room. I did not
notice anyope going away. The
dinner itself well, it could scarcely
have been excelled by the ladies of
Wooster, O., and .what higher praise
could one give it? "The afternoon
was given up to a fraternal meeting,
which was even more largely attended
than that of the morning. A number
of interesting addresses were made,
not alone by ministers, as is- too often
the case, but by both men and women
from sister churches, both near and
far.
"Greensboro itself I have not
spoken of it. I am afraid to attempt
it. If I had a vocabulary like Dr.
Miller of the United Presbyterian I
might tackle it with some hope of

LOWER RATES ORDERED
Commission Ordert Telephone Hearing
Sept 30 to See Why New Rates -Should
Not Go into Effect.
The reorganized public service com
mission of Vermont issued an order
Saturday for all telephone companies
doing business in Vermont to appear
at the senate chamber, Montpelier,
September 30, and show cause why the
rates recommended by the;public
service commission should not go into
effect after December .1. The annual
rental rates ,. called for in this order
are :
BUSINESS TELEPHONES
One-party line, thirty-three dollars
Two-party line, twenty-four dollars
Four-party, line, twenty-one dollars
More than four-party line, eighteen
dollars. '
RESIDENCE TELEPHONES
One-party line, twenty-four dollars
Two-party Tine.eighteen dollars
Three to six-party line, fifteen dollars
More than six-party line, twelve
dollars.
It is also a part of the order that
the present toll rates be reduced 20
per cent except where the present rate
is 10 cents or less and that the reduc
tion of 20 per cent be to the nearest
multiple of five cents, above or below
the figure arrived at by the reduction.
Charges for calls where telephonic
communication is not obtained are to
be abolished.
The above recommendations are
made by the public service commission
in accordance with the report made by
MessrsV Cook and Graham, special
council appointed by Gov. Fletcher to
investigate the telephone situation in
this state. '.-..
It will be remembered that Gov.
Fletcher insisted that this order be
issued by the former public service
commission out tnat tney retusea to
issue the order believing it
out thir power, but stated
would issue an order for a
the matter. Gov. Fletcher
was with
that they

thereupon
dismissed C. D. Watson of St. Albans,
chairman of the commission and
appointed Robert C. Bacon of Brattle
boro in his place and after the resig
nation of G. H.J Babbitt, Park H.
Pollard was appointed in his stead and
this order immediately followed, signed
by Robert C. Bacon, William R.
Warner and Park H. Pollard.
This instrument it must be under
stood is an order for the rates and
changes above mentioned which will
go into effect December 1 unless the
telephone companies show reason
satisfactory to the public service com
mission why such rates and charges
are
unreasonable and unjust. This

$1000 FOR REMODELING.
At the several times adjourned
school meeting held last evening in
the high school room.it was voted
without a dissenting voice to have the
school trus'tees begin remodelling the
old school building by cementmg the
basement and tearing . out the parti
tions on the "first floor and remodelling
this floor into a hall that may be used
for school purposes, physical culture
training, etc.,, the sum to be expended
not to exceed $1000. The matter was
quite thoroughly discussed not only at
this but at previous meetings and it
seemed to be the general opinion that
a modest beginning as outlined above
would get the building into shape for
greater usefulness, and that the sum
voted would probably be sufficient to
carry out the plar outlined above.

several years ago, also a daughter,
Mrs. Alice Wilkie and a son, Arthur,

MORE FIRES IN COVENTRY
Four Fires within a Week. Two Extin

with
Heavy Losses. '
Since the conflagration of June 25 in
Coventry, when eight buildings were
destroyed, the town has been visited
with an unusual number of fires, five
families have been burned out of
'.'house and, home," inside of two
months. J. J. Labell's house, caught
fire Sunday morning, ' but was ex
tinguished quickly, and fire 'was
discovered at Israel Trudeau's, smold
ering under the back veranda,, a few
days ago. It was thought that a
match must have been dropped when
lighted. Quick work saved a bad fire.
It behooves everyone to be careful,
wher there is so little fire protection.
Sunday, at about one o'clock the
ringing of the schoolhouse bell gave
warning of another fire. The
known as the 7'Strong" place, owned
by P. L. Metcalf and ocennipd bv Wm
Rixford. was ComDletelv dest.rnved hv

rapidly and soon the house and fearn
were in ruins. A Iaree auatititv nf
hay was destroyed and other personal
property. Mr. and Mrs. Boden were.
able to save most of their household
goods. It' is thought that a tramp
must have started the fire.

Mrs. Sarah H. Davis, sister of J. H.
Cory, died at her home in Elizabeth,
N. J., Thursday, Sept. 4th.- She was
the last of the7 Cory-King, group who
brightened our summers with their
presence so many years. She had
reacned the ripe old age of nearly, if
not quite, ninety years. Mr. and Mrs.
Cory with his sister and Mr. and Mrs
King came as near one's ideal of
righteous living as any group . of
people I ever met. Their home life
whpra we visited in 1898 seemed just
as beautiful and saintly, where ser
vants and all were treated with the
greatest kindness and consideration.
Although this was soon after the
death of Mr. Cory and the two sisters
in-law were keeping house together,
yet the afterglow of that beautiful
sunshiny life seemed to pervade .. the
home. Mrs. Davis was kindly cared
for in her last years by Mrs. Mattie
Griffin, a vwoman ; whom she alwajs
regarded as a daughter, as she was.
engaged to be married to her son,
at the time of his death in early life.
