The Reformer's Windham County office will close at 1 PM on Saturdays in July and August. Readable garbled text follows about woods, a garden, and vague references to daily life, suggesting a fragmented local notice or poem. The main actionable fact is the Saturday early closure during summer months.
Raynond 1. Greene runs a nosy industry as D W Shestine buys the Gritin homestead on Elliot street. The infant son of Mr and Mrs G Biro dies and is buried in Newline. A horse scare and a violent incident lead to police action. Vermont National Guard camp plans, church calls, and town business fill the long, busy notes with multiple names, reunions, and local civic events.
Local political chatter centers on B S Balestier as the high license local option candidate for the Dummerston representative seat. Rival Beatty Balostier is noted as a prospective legislature candidate from Dummerston, with remarks about ammunition and campaigning. Frederick L. Houghton of Putney emerges as a potential high license candidate with broad support, while Clement and McGettrick of St Albans, and Davenport, vie for governor and state offices. A Vermont ticket list hints at prohibition and local option themes amid party activity and public speeches at towns along the river valley.
Fragmented local notices describe Saturday events, speeches by Walter Dates and Charles Flyndy, and a Brattleboro gathering. Report mentions Northfield Christian Workers Conference attendance, open air service led by Howard W. Pope at West Brattleboro, and Pomona meeting in Wilmington with Miss Grace Bee and Miss May Spear performing.
A long, garbled social page notes many names and events. It mentions Nell Haery of Boston, visits to Monon Lake, and various local social happenings, with scattered references to marriages, engagements, and visitors. The text weaves through town names, relatives, and acquaintances, reflecting a bustling social calendar.
