The Walker Trial.

The trial of Geo. B. Walker on the
question of confscation of the liquor
seized at the St. Johnsbury House dur
ing the late raid, was had on Wednesday
before Justice Walter P. Smith, and de-
cision reserved. On the hearing for
selling liquor, H. c. Belden, Esq,
Walkers counsel, offered to plead gull
tv to six offenses. This was not accept
ed by the prosecution, and Walker de-
manded specifications, and the case
stands continued until Oct. Odd, on &C
count of the supreme court interfering
with an earlier hearing. This means
war; and all the pretty talk INDUCED
in over this matter ends just where ev-
cry one who knows George Walker
knew it would. The case as it stands
is Geo. B. Walker against st. Johns
bury, and it is best our people under
stand the nature, animus and strength
of their antagonist.

A Valuable Art.

a v aluaDle ArG. .r..r... -.-ra
We were freshly reminded a few days
since of the indebtedness of the present
age to the Photographic art, while ex-
amining picture containing the like
nesses of four generations in one family
group, namely: Isaac Parker, Esq, of
Coventry,-a hale old gentleman of we
should judge nearly 90-his son, DR.. L..
F. Parker of Peacham DR.. Parkers
daughter, Mrs. E. G. Harvey, and her
child, some two years old. 1t is not
every family group that can contain so
many generations, but with the perfec-
ton and cheapness of the present art
of photography, every one can have his
friends near at hand as it were, though
sundered far. The picture above re-
ferred to was made at D. A. Clifford's
gallery in this place-a gallery where
the finest work is made, as all know
who have seen it, and as the silver
medal awarded him at the second an
nual exhibition in New York of carbon
prints abundantly proves. At the late
state fair in Montpelier Mr.. Clifford ex-
hibited his work, and received the fol-
lowing notice in "a general report made
in the Waterman "Clifford's photo
graphs, and especially his truly won
derful carbon portraits, finely illus.
trated the perfection to which this al
has been brought. Clifford is true
artist, and his pictures have value
distinctively due to that quality in hin
which is so woefully wanting in many
who, in their merely technical processes
may be equal to any. This art sense
makes all the difference between {
likeness and 'pOrtrait.'n

Some 1000 people gathered at Bay

Saturday, drawn thither by cheap fares,
beautiful weather, and the music of a
number of bands, advertised by the

prizes. Six bands entered into compe-
titiOn, namely: City band and Victoria
band of Sherbrooke, and the bands at
Lyndonville, Newport, Union Village,
N. H., and White River Junction. They
"played around" twice, receiving good
attention and hearty applause from the
large concourse of people. The judges
were by themselves in the building,
and each one kept separate score or
marks of excellence, and on comparing
notes the prizes were declared and
awarded as follows: LyndOnville band,

A Hundred Years Old.

On Tuesday of this week-Sept. 30
Mrs. Susannah (Smith) Eaton celebrat-
ed her one hundredth birthday. The
occasion was made considerable of by
family friends and neighbOrs, and many
former residents of Danville took this
occasion to pay their respects to this
venerable and respected lady.
Susannah Harrison was born in Lou
don, N. H., Sept. 30, 1879, and came
with her parents to Danville about the
year 1887, or when Susannah was eight
years old. Her father was among the
very earliest settlers of Danville, and
it is considered remarkable that she has
ever lived (save one year in Peacham,
on the same pitch of land-just about
opposite where Phillips academy now
stands. In 1903 she was married to a
Mr.. Smith. OF her eight children only
two remain-Aaron Smith of the Eagle
Hotel, and Mrs. Nathaniel Stocker, with
whom she now lives. Her husband
having died, Mrs. Smith married in
1923 Kbenezer Eaton, the founder OF
the North Star, and father of N. H.
Eaton, Esq, its present editor. Mr..
Eaton has long since passed away. Mrs.
Eaton united with the Congregational
church in 1907, and all testify to her
devoted Christian character and up
right life,
Until within about one year, Mrs
Eaton has been what is termed "smart,
and when SO she went out to a dinner
party. For several months past she
has kept her room, although retaining
her faculties wonderfully, her oversight
and hearing being quite good. On her
centennial she sat at the dinner table
with her children and other friends,
conversing somewhat and appearing
like many person a score of years
younger.
Another remarkable tact connected
with this aged person Her mother
lived to be over one hundred years old,
and she has brother now living be-
tween ninety and one hundred
Having come to SO remarkable an
age, the neighbOrs and tOwnspeople of
Mrs. Eaton thought best to appropriate
ly notice the event. About half-past
one in the afternoon quite company
gathered about her house. While a

"SAvE THESE BONDS !"-Much credit
is due the selectmen of Concord for
their effort and success in raising money
to pay for the town bonds as fast as
said bonds have been handed in and
as there is less than one-half unpaid at
fifty per cent. and interest, they feel
sure that they can raise the remainder
and that the town will have the original
railroad bonds in their possession with
in the next three months. There seems
to be Yankee enough in the bond
holders to see that a nimble ninepence
is better than an uncertain shilling.
