The attention of our readers is called
to the advertisement of the National
Life Insurance Company of Montpelier.
This company is one of the oldest
of its kind in America, being incor-
porated in 1913. 1t is perfectly sound
and, being Vermont institution, is
what all Vermonters may safely pat
ronize. In these days men of small
means who are DESTROYS of providing
for their families can do no better
than investing in life insurance for their
benefit, or in protecting themselves
against the time when they may be
more dependent upon others than
others are dependent upon them. r.
w. Hulburd of this place is agent for
this section of the State and all en-
quiries by mail or otherwise will re-
ceive prompt attention.

Why the front of the village GENE

Here is an extract from the writings
OF Charles Rcadc, which will doubtless
be read with general interest: $50 she

to 60 out in the streets all alone, to shop
or visit; have 4 gentleman all her own,
whom she could put her finger on any
moment, and make him take her about,
even to the opera and the theatre; to
give dinner parties her wv self, and even
n little ball once in II way; to buy what
ever dresses she thought proper, instead
OF being crippled by an allowance; have
the legal right of speaking first in So
cicty, instead of sitting mum-chance and
mock-modest; to be mistress instead of
miss-contcmptible title; to he a woman
instead of q girl, and all this rational
liberty, domestic power, and social dig
nifty were to be obtained by merely we'd

h was so nice; and the bright career
to be ushered in with several delights,

from all our friends; as many new dresses
