VICTORY.

VIM. Nourse has reinstated his house
frame in the position it occupied before
the high wind last April.
There has been severe frosts for few
nights past which have done damage
to plants out of the ground.
Another pow-wow in the James
neighborhood last week. These things

so much trouble,
The case Nourse VS., Town of Victory
was tried at st. Johnsbury, last week,
resulting in a verdict for plaintiff, of
5000 and costs. This case grew out Of
an accident which the plaintiff claimed
happened to him on one of the high
ways in town. The case has been up
to the Supreme court once and sent
back to be tried again in county court.
A small affair at first, and could have
been settled for mere nominal sum,
it has amounted to five or six hundred
dollars in costs. The law by which
towns are made liable for damages sus-
tanned on the highway is greatly taken
advantage of, and great injustice done
many times, and should be remedied.

DIR. HARVEY COE.

Another pioneer has gone. The DIR.
first settled in this town, on the farm
which E. p. Rosebrook now owns, fifty
three years ago. AT that time the few
inhabitants knew little of ease and
comfort. They cleared away the for
est, raised their grain, and were obliged
to carry it either to West Charleston
or Lyndon to be ground. The DR.. for
many years carried on this farm, sur
veyed land and attended the sick. He
was the only physician in town until
DIR. Adams came. At the time the cry
sipelas ragged SO terribly in this part of
Vermont, he was very successful in
treating it, scarcely losing a patient.
He represented the town in the legis-
lature, has been Selectman, Overseer
of the Poor, Constable, Town Treasur-
err Lister, Town Grand Juror, Trustee
of surplus Revenue fund, and in fact
held every office in town. He was the
first postmaster appointed in town and
for forty two years has had some office,
always with satisfaction to his towns
men.
He for long timelhas acted as agent
for parties living out of the state in the
sale and care of their wild lands in
town.
He was one of the best OF neighBors,
always pleasant, kind and obliging;
the wants of the poor always touched
his kind heart, and many heart has
been made glad by his generosity.
When called on as physician, wheth-
er by the rich or poor, high or low, he
always responded with his services and
sympathy.
He was always public spirited, and
rejoiced in and helped along, to the
best of his ability, all public enter
prises.
lie leaves wife, four brothers and

credit on this enterprising firm, who,
though many years in the Art Pub
fishing business, have not grown old
and unprogressive, but on the other
hand make improvement and progress
year by year, giving the people better
and better pictures for the same or less
money. They may, we feel sure, fairly
claim to stand at the head of the Art

call attention to their advertisements

who need pleasant, profitable work,

morning by the announcement on our

temperance lecturer, had decamped,
both (who boarded together at the
same house, leaving their landlady in
the lurch for 1923, and the latter taking
with him his landlady's gold watch.
Investigation proved that they were

hard working girls for wages due from
Collier created much sympathy. Dur
