ownsman Hon. Henry Ballard has decided
10 take up his permanent residence at the |
west and will shortly remove thither. AS all
he world knows, Mr.. Billiards. career at the
bar has been exceptionally brilliant and sue
,cssful. The Vermont lawyers are few who
Fan number so many clients or look back to
30 many professional lrumphs At the bar,
N politics and in social life Mr. Ballard will
be greatly missed In his new home, how
,ver, those qualities which have made him
40 successful here, will place him in the
front rank Of western lawyers, and he will
be sure TO make his mark there. COusdera-
ions of health form the principal reason for

he wish of all our people. He has already, |
