| VERMONT TELEGRAPH. Communications occa-
sionally come to hand directed to the Vermont Tel

the fact it may be proper to state that that paper
was discontinued in October, 1913. For a time, the
! Vermont Observer was publishedas the organ of
the Baptist denomination in this state but the lib
erty party swallowed up the paper editor and al, so
that at this time, according to what information we
possess the Baptists Of Vermont have no organ pub
lished in this state.

Frederick NJ Porter, Cor. Sec. American Sunday

cheney of last year, and $4,000 for defrayng expen
ses of the present year.
