Mrs. Hannah Cox, the oldest person
in New England, died in Holderness,
N. Fl. last week, aged 105 years. She
was aunt to Mrs. |. K. Drew, and to
Mrs. John G.. Hall of this town. Mrs.

settled in Danville many years ago.
The family was noted for its great lon
gevity.
We received a pleasant call on Friday
from Jefferson Clark, Esq of New York,
formerly of Glover. The Glover people
and many of the former students of the
institute remember Jeff" After 60
ing through college and the law school
he hung out his single in New York
city, where he has made quite a mark
as lawyer. It gives us pleasure to
note his prosperity.
An attempt will be made by the man
ayers of the State Fair to be held at
Montpelier, Sept. 1915, to have very
large exhibit of apples, for which both
premiums and medals will be given.
The premiums of course, are small, but
it is hoped that the fruit growers will
have interest enough in the matter to
enter the list as competitors, not for
premiums but to show their produc-
tions, and compare notes with other
producers. Orleans county might make
an excellent showing if the fruit raisers
here should enter the list as competitors
with their best fruit.
The village schools opened on We'd
nesday last with large attendance. In
the academy department there were quite
number from out of the district and
town, and in the smaller schools as
many as can we'll be accommodated.

Dartmouth, also of normal school, and
teacher of several years experience.
Miss Lovisa Kinney of Craftsbury has
charge of the grammar school depart
ment, the same as last year. Miss Lulu
Davis and Miss Matte A. Jenness,

have not been in this school heretofore.
The schools open auspiciously.
Among the new advertisements in
this issue will be found one from Messrs.
Rathbone, Sard & Co., manufacturers of
the celebrated "Acorn Stoves and Rang
es." The distinct lead which "Acorn"
stoves have taken in all markets of the
world, is being emphasized each year by
the fact that no live stove merchant who
carefully studies his best interests con-
siders his stock complete unless it en-
braces some numbers of these renowned
goods. Every stove is fully warranted /;
and special feature Of the best grades
of "Acorns" is their patent asbestos lined
oven doors for retaining the heat in the
oven and economizing in fuel. For full
Ter description of "Acorn" stoves, send

The presidents condition for the past
week has been improved from the pre-
ceeding week, but his progress has been
very slow. The weather has been hot
and sultry and his wounds have taken
all the strength his enfeebled system
has been able to muster. His appetite,
his mental condition, the character of
the swelling on his neck have all improv-
ed, but his strength has increased but
little. The doctors are feeling that he
must be removed to healthier and
more invigorating place, if he is expect
ed to gain strength. The wound Of the
bullet is slightly improved, and the
poison absorbed into the system has, as
is believed. been slightly eliminated
from the body. Preparations are al
ready made to take the wounded man to
Long Branch where he can get the pure
air of healthful seaside resort. If NO
further drawbacks occur it is expected
that he will be removed during this
week. In the meantime let the hopes
and prayers of the people continue.
