A Hard Road to Travel.


The dwellers on the road to West
Waterford were interested last week in
watching the progress of a boiler of 80
or 80 hundred weight between the St.
Johnsbury station and Lawrence's mill
at West Waterford. A man and eight
horses left here with the boiler Mon
day noon of last week and got it as far
as Carpenters hill above E. E. Hovey's
on Tuesday night. Here it was cap
sized and all the horses and men in the
neighborhood were at work day or
two getting the thing into travelling
shape again, making something of a
stir in that usually quiet neighborhood.
Finally the boiler reached its destina
ton Friday night, being five days on
the road. The ways over in that Sec
ton are not adapted to the transporta-
ton of heavy loads.

Canada Currency.

Canada currency.
A recent decision of Internal Revenue
Collector c. j. Page will tend to crowd
Canada currency out of the states. He
has issued circular to banks and firms
in this district stating that he shall
make an assessment of 10 per cent. on
all Canada currency paid out by them.
This will result in the banks refusing
to take Canada money unless at dis
count of more than 10 per cent. Col
lector Page also demands a statement
from banks and firms showing the
amount of Canada currency paid out in
the past IS months with view to max
ing assessments on old business. This
last ruling will not effect local banks

Better Than Daylight.


The PeterbOrO, n. H., Transcript
speaks in unqualified terms of praise
of a I25 light dynamo, made by E. &
t. Fairbanks Co., of st. Johnsbury for
Joseph Noone's Sons mill in that town.
The writer of the Transcript article
was present and witnessed the starting
up of the dynamo and the operation of
the system, the incandescent light be-
ing used throughout the entire estab-
lishment. The wOrkmen in the mill
declared that they could prosecute
their labor better by the aid of the new
light than by daylight, as the lamps
are so arranged as to reflect the light
where it is most needed. The Noone
factory is now said to be the best
lighted mill in the state of New Hamp-
shire. In every instance where the
Vermont Electric Light company have
introduced plants perfect satisfaction
J has been given.

Ruth Fuller, daughter of Abraham
Fuller, was born at Monson, Mass,
Nov. 4, 1901. She was married to
Henry Little at ST. Johnsbury, March
IL, 1922. In October 1881, with her
husband and two children. Frank and
Ellen, born in st. Johnsbury, she left
a pleasant home and a large circle of
relatives and friends in St. Johnsbury
for residence in the western wilds of
the then new territory of Michigan.
Prior to this she and her husband had
united with the Congregational church

children born, three only are living

with her aged husband, Henry Little,
nearly 81, one brother and two sisters
survive her. Through all the vicissi-
tudes of prolonged and active life,
her general health, energy, cheerful
ness and sprightliness of manner have
been truly remarkable. In all places,
under all circumstances and conditions;
amid the dangers and privations Incl
dent to pioneer life in the wilderness,
separated from early relatives and
friends of her childhood, she has stood
with her husband bravely at the front.
A faithful, devoted wife, a most affec-

fully taken up the duties of the day
and hour, met every obligation and
fulfilled every trust. al am going

Frozen to Death.

Frozen TO DeaCn.
Accounts of the sufferings of Yer
monters in the Northwest continue to
be received by their acquaintances and
friends in this state. The last report
relates to George Hoag formerly of
Waterford. Some time ago Hoag dis
appeared, leaving his wife and family.
The town of Barre fitted up Mrs. Hoag
and five of the six children and sent
them to the Northwest where Hoag
was. The wife wrote back to acquain-
tances here that they were living in a
dug-out. After the recent blizzard
neighbors went into the dug-out and
found the entire family frozen to death.
Mr.. Hoag was found kneeling beside Il
chair with one hand on the chair and
the other on the stove. The rest of
the family were in various positions
about the cave. All the children we're
under IL years of age. The remaining
child that was left East is with it's
grandfather, Charles Hoag of Water
ford.

Campaign.

An Unfortunate Opening of the Local
Campaign.
A quite full report of the organiza-
tion of a republican club in this place
is given on the first page. 1t is not
necessary to read between the lines to
see that the boss has good grip on
the "boys," and that the feeble remon-
STRANGE of few who believe in better
politics and cleaner methods amounted
to nothing. 1t is an open secret that
the organization of the "Young Repub-
lican Club" the next night was born of
disgust at the way the first meeting
was run, although doubtless this state
ment will be denied as "harmony" is
now the watchword. But the repub-
licans of this town will learn sooner or
later that the "harmony" produced by
using two or three honorable names as
cats paws to jerk the same old gang
into Office is the kind that exists be-
tween the lion and the lamb when they
lie down together-the lion must be
outside the lamb.
