Armistice Day. Proclamation.
' Our last General Assembly wise
ly enacted that the 11th day of No-
vember snail oe a mmuj
known as Armistice day.
This day will be full of deep sig
nificance for it not only commemor
ates the successful ending of the
Great war; but will go down the
years to come as the day when the
whole nation paused to render fitting
tribute to the burial in our national
cemetery at Arlington of the body of j
an Sown, soldier killed in action!
on the battlefields oi i? ranee.
day also marks the beginning of the
limitation of ar-
odist church.
Owing tp the fact that Rev. Wood
holds one of the highest and most
sacred callings that can be under
taken by man, the trial, in which he
was charged with having improper
relations with Mrs. Ha Messier, caus
ed a sensation among the people of
the county. During the trial, which
opened Thursday morning, a large
crowd assembled and the courtroom
could not seat the people at times.
Main street in front of the court house
was lined with automobiles throughout
the trial.
The most brilliant and forcible pleas
during the entire session of Orleans
county court were made by the three
attorneys connected with the case.
State's Attorney Albert Farman pros
ecuted and made the opening and
closing argument. In 'the final plea
he bitterly scored the respondent's
attorneys, J. Rolf Searles of St
Johnsbury and Frank H. Thompson of
Barton, in which he referred to them
as the unscrupulous. Dr P. C.
Templeton of Irasburg, the family
physician of the Messier family, and
the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Mit
chell, also came under the state's at
torney's list for a scoring. Mr Far
man referred to the doctor as the go
between. He accused him of trying
to block the law, and for the part
he played in the case said he was
one of the most dangerous men to
