Funeral Memorial Day. One of Hardwick's few remaining veterans of the Civil War, Albert George, received his final muster last Friday morning, after a short illness, the end enmirkg calmly and peacefully, though as a shock to his hosts of friends, both here and in Calais. Thus is ended a long and useful life. Mr. George was well-known and highly respected, and will be generally tjiiss-ed in the life of the community.

Albert George was born in Che-ea, September 11, ISP), and xvas, lie 7:1 veal's of age. His early life pa-o in Chelsea and Mid-ll and l.e sc! 1 those towns. lie wa oblig-d to give up hi- school at Ihe. age of 17 yi ars, xxhen his father died, and be was thus placed at the head of the family as a bread winner. On his 21st birthday he answered the rail to arms of his country and enlisted at Montpelier from the town of Middlesex in the First Vermont Cavalry in Company C.

He served three years in the great struggle and was shot in the leg near the hip, laid in an army hospital for a long time and was then discharged. Following his discharge he came to Calais, and took up the trade of harnessmaking. but soon after his marriage to Mi-s T.v.ceba Dutton isii'a; turned farmer, a calling xvhieh he followed until he came to Hardwick in lOol, where be bought a home and in xvhieh he lived from that time until bis decease. To this union, one son, Dr. H.

D. George, xvas born. Had Mr. George lived until today, this worthy couple would have observed 5 I years of happy Wedded life. Mr.

George was a member of 1111 worth Post, G. A. of this place, and is one of the last members of this organization in Hardwick, and xvas very much interested in it up to the very lust, also of Green Mountain Lodge, F. A. of.

Cabot, and Hiram Chapter, R. A. of Hardwick. He is survived by his widow, one son, Dr. B.

D. George, a granddaughter, Miss Ruth George, and other relatives.

A little good old-fabhioned sport in the way of the preat national pastime was indulged in on Bridcman hill last Monday afternoon, when some of the old-timers in baseball held a revival and played an interesting scrub game, and a amount of fun was had. It leads us to think and believe that a fairly pood town team could be here if it could be properly supported, and confine itself to teams of its own calibre and provide pome interest iiid sport (luring the summer months. Let's give this some thought and attention.

A Daisy Spring Shower. The home of Mr. and Mrs. E. II.

Campbell on West Church street last Thu-rday evening was the scene of as pretty and as surprising a shoxver of handsome and useful gifts as any young lady, xx hose approaching nuptials are about to be consummated, could wish for. The lady in question in this case is one of Hardw iek's well-known young xvomen, a very quiet and unassuming lady, Miss Daisy Carr, and to give our readers an even vague idea of the astonished look of wonderment which overspread her countenance xxhen she xvas fmally, though forcibly, ushered into the rooms and at the same time into the presence of about 40 lady friends and neighbors, is beyond our powers of description. Let is sul'ice to say or be it known, that the surprise was even greater from the fact that the guest of honor had had a hand in the preparations throughout the week for this event, being under the impression that Mrs. Campbell xvas getting ready for a card party or something of the sort, and no inkling ever iiti red her head that this affair xvas intended for The dining and sittitg rooms were very prettily green, hite and pink i n-pc paper streamers, suspend li.e enter overhead find extending to all corners of the rooms, and in the dif: i lit parts of the rooms were huge of crepe paper apple blossoms, giving the whole a very springlike effect. In the center of a table in the sitting room xvas a handsomely decorated basket which xvas filled to overflowing with the gifts from friends and which, when opened, made Daisy ga.

for breath as each one was unfolded by her nimble fingers. The gifts were all of a useful kind and nature and will come in handy in starting in housekeeping. It xvas a most enjoyable event and xx it li a jolly social r-i i. in "hiding nun banter of a good nature, and xxith light refreshments served during the evening, made the affair one long to be remembered by all pre-eut. and as each gilest departed they expressed tu the nf connrat ulat inns a and liappx the i venii.g happy ad xxell wishes 1 or lit-.
