mains of one Of its early settlers. Reu-
ben Phelps died January 81, 1873, aged
eighty years. He came here with his
father, Benjamin Phelps, in the year
1913, where they encountered their full
share of hardship incident to the settle
ment OF new township. Having the
good example Of pious parents he early
enlisted in the cause of Christianity, in
which his life has been spent. He was
ever ready to give for every good work.
Through his adult life his house has
been home for aged and poor relatives.
His father lived with him to the age of
eighty-nine, and his mother to the age
of eighty-seven. Mr.. Phelps married
Polly Knapp, Sept. s., 1924; she died
June g, 1S4S, aged fifty years. A Grip

sought to perform any great exploits,
my only aim is to be good, industrious
and exemplary citizen" Right we'll

We're present from Leicester and Mid
dlebury. The exercises were enliyen-
ed by solos and the rendering of some
anthems finely. Miss Hattie Dyer per-
formed her solos admirably. The
Good Templar's quartette club and the
Judge orchestra, of Middlebury, aided
very much on the occasion. Also little
Belle Thomas, being present, was
requested TO come forward to sing and

the most interesting entertainments for
a long time.

Rutland Railroad Taxes.

AS dispatch in Boston paper gives
an erroneous idea of the effect of the re-
cent decision of the Supreme court in
regard to the payment of the taxes on
the Rutland railroad, it is proper to state
that the effect of the decision is that the
Central Vermont managers pay the
taxes legally assessed upon the Addison,
the Vermont Valley and the Vermont
and Massachusetts, branch railroads, land
the Rutland railroad company pays the
taxes legally assessed upon its own
property. The taxes OH tho Rutland
railroad property amount to from ten
to fifteen thousand dollars annually,
and there are taxes for three years un-
paid.
