Barre Contingent Marched to Station in
This City.
Hundreds of people gathered at the
Central Vermont station this morning to
make their farewells to the Ot Barre
men who were leaving for Camp Devens.
Mayor Glysson and members of the city
council took olhcial cognizance ot the oc
casion by accompanying the recruits to
the station. 1 he drafted men assembled
in front of city hall at 6:45 o'clock and
formed in line. I he procession was led
by the Barre pipe and drum band, and a
it wended its way down the street, the
recruits were loudly " cheered. At the
station a large crowd was waiting to re
ceive the men. There was another band
selection, and then City Atty. William
Wishart spoke briefly. He reminded the
men that thev are- enlisted in a cause
that has for its primary purpose the
salvation of the world. t
Our forefathers under Washington,
said the speaker, fought for the freedom
of America. Again under Lincoln men
fought for the preservation of the union.
Even more impressive is the task which
the greatest army in history has under
taken. The soldiers of the allies are con
secrated to the tak of saving the world
from the brutal domination -of German
autocracy.
Some of the scenes! of yesterday s fare
well in honor of the drafted men were
re-enacted again this morning. Relatives
and friends embraced their dear ones.
perhaps for the last time in manv
months. Just before the train pulled out
of the station, the crowd, led by Alder
men Alexander and Milne, cheered voci
ferously. Many 'oimpanied the Barre
recruits to Montpelier for the final send-off.

at the town hall on Tuesday atternoon,

soldiers' graves on Memorial day and
would be glad to have, any that can do
so come in and help them in this labor of
love.
Work on the hill at the southern end
of the main road to the gulf, beyond He
man Smith's, has been begun by the
state road men in charge of H. V. Farn
ham. We are told that the ledge at the
top is to be lowered five feet or more and
the material used in filling the hollow at
the foot of the hill. This will be a great
improvement to this road, which is one
of the best gravel roads, as well as one of
the most traveled roads iu the state.
Those having in charge the making of
boiiouets of flowers for Memorial day
will be glad, as in former years, to have
friends contribute whatever flowers can

For Warm
Weather
Many men fail to enjoy the cool,
refreshing comfort of Oxfords
summer's own shoe and simply
through neglect.
They put off purchasing, for one
reason or another, most of which
are no reasons at all, until the sea
son is so far spent they decide it
will then hardly pay to buy.
Buy now and enjoy a whole season's pleasure in a pair of comfortable,
efylisb Oxfords. We have some we should like to have you see.
