The closest campaign guess on RECORD
was made a month before election y,
A. ID. Rowell, who gave Harrison 239
electoral votes. His only error was il
giving COnnecticut's six votes to Har
rison and West Virginia's six votes t,
Cleveland. But the figures came on
all right when West Virginia is reck
oned for Harrison where she undoubt
edly belongs.
1t is whispered that some local dem
Ocrats pulled a cannon to the top O
Harris hill election day preparatory t
celebrating.

Charles A. Morrill,, son of Dea. C.. l..
Morrill, of North Danville, writes from
Fairfield, Nebraska:
"There is bountiful crop of corn in
this section of Nebraska. One man
sold his oats to day, (Nov. 6) at l3
cents per bushel. Corn is worth 90
cents. Elevators are running day and
night. Farmers are obliged to sell
their grain in many instances to pay off
loans and store debts. think Yer
mont farmers would 'kick' if they had
to sell their oats at I3 cents Il bushel
to pay old debts. This is IL beautiful
country though somewhat uncertain.
1t will do for IL young man to come out
here, but if farmer is comfortably
fixed in Vermont he had better stay
where he is"

RECENT DEATHS.
Death of St. Johnsbury,s Centenarian.

Death of St. Johnsbury's Centenarian.
WoRKs.-James Works, whose one
hundredth birthday anniversary was
celebrated December Both, 1887, died
at his home in Waterford Tuesday
morning. He had enjoyed compara-
tive good health through the summer,
retaining possession of all his faculties
to remarkable degree for one so aged.
Monday morning he complained OF
numbness in his arms, which it is now
thought indicated a paralytic shock.
In the evening he retired at the usual
hour, was heard to cough at midnight
which was nothing unusual and pass
ed away shortly after, probably with
out pain. The story of Mr.. Works
life WAS told somewhat in detail in
these columns at the time of his cen
tennial, but the main facts may prop
erly " repeated.
James Works was born in West
moreland, N. H., Dec. 80, 1857. He
moved to Barton in 1908, and to Wat
erfOrd in 1916, to the home where he
has ever since lived. AS a business
man he was energetic, capable and
successful as a citizen he was public
spirited and always took an active in
terest in public affairs. He represent
1888 and 1889, and for several years
served on the board of selectmen and
held other town offices. AS late as Il
dozen years ago when nearly 80 he
served as one of the grand jurors of
the county. He was actively interest
ed in the organization of the Passump-
sic railroad company and in the build
ing of the road, being stockhOlder in
the enterprise. He has retained his
faculties to remarkable degree dur
ing these later years. At the celebra-
tion of this Tooth birthday anniversary
on the Both of last December he was
quite hale and hearty, personally well
coming his friends as they called, writ
ing his name as distinctly as ever it
was written, reading the papers and
enjoying his dinner with the assembled
company. His death removes most
worthy citizen of this county, one in
whom all the people have felt deep
interest.
Mr.. Works was married in 1922 to
Almira Aldrich, an estimable woman.
To them were born five children, Ade-
line, who died at the age of 90, Mrs.
Charles l.. Morrill, of North Danville,
Mrs. Arthur Lee of Plainfield, Iowa,
and Chandler and Barton, two sons
who have remained on the old farm a5
Waterford, the latter having the per-
sonal care of his father. Mr.. Works
belonged to Il longlived family, a sis
ter, aged "a, living in Rochester, N
Y, survives him.
The funeral will be held this after
noon ut one o'clock.
VAUGHAN.-The friends of Mrs. Geo
Vaughan will regret to learn of her
death at her home, Centre Point, Tex
as, two months ago. Mrs. Vaughan
had been enjoying unusually good
health during the summer, but was at
tackled with erysipelas in malignant
form and died very suddenly. She
leaves three children aged eight years,
three years and two months respec-
lively. Mrs. Vaughan was Katy Fair
banks, daughter of It. r. Fairbanks,
formerly of this place.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
st. Johnsbury Sure to Have Them Now

st. JOhnsbury sure TO Have Inem NOW.
The ST. Johnsbury village trustees
have closed a contract with the Thom-
son Houston electric company to light
the village with electricity. The work
will go on at once and the lights will
be in operation as soon as possible, be-
fore winter, no doubt. The Thomson
Houston company have closed con-
tract with the Water Power company
for the necessary power from the new
dam below the village, taking lease
for 10 years.
For number of months this matter
of lighting the streets of st. Johnsbury
has been talked about, but definite
conclusions have been so long delayed
that the people had come to feel that
the whole business had fallen through.
Early in June at village meeting it
was voted to authorize the village
trustees to expend sum not exceed
ing $1,000 per annum in lighting the
streets with electricity. Some weeks
ago the trustees requested bids from
the leading electric companies doing
business in New England. Only one
company responded with a definite bid
in writing, the Thomson Houston
company, with whom contract was
closed.
The Thomson Houston company
agree to furnish 80 arc lights for the
first year for the village appropriation
of $500. For the second and third
years they agree to furnish 20 arc
lights for $1,000 per annum and any that
may be desired above that number at
a sum not exceeding $40 per light per
annum. This increase in price for the
second and third years is made neces-
sary, as we understand it, by the in
efficiency of the village appropriation,
all companies and practical electricians
agreeing that the village could not be
properly lighted for $1,000. The con-
tract calls for the burning of the lights
on all dark evenings, regardless of the
phases of the moon, from dark until
midnight. The village trustees have
given the matter careful consideration
and believe the contract is as good for
the village as any that has been made
by any New England village of the
same size and arrangement.
The contract between the Thomson
Houston and the Water Power compa-
nies calls for 100 horsepower ut $500
per annum. The Thomson Houston
folks have taken 10 years. lease of
the power with the understanding that
they are to use it at night only when
ever the Power company shall let it for
other purposes, as the latter company
expect to have some 300 or more
horse power when the works are COM
pleted, and hope to get other business
sooner or later. Their contract with
the Thomson Houston folks calls for
the erection of building about 25x35
at the dam, and the equipment of the
plant as far as power is concerned.
The dam is completed within % feet
of the west shore and over that space
Golfer dam was built last week. The
high water has made progress very
slow, but the builders have no notion
of giving up and the work will now be
completed at an early date.

A Wide-Awake Committee.

The st. Johnsbury lecture commit
tee deserve more than a passing notice
for the manner in which they brought
the Musin concert company to time
last week. On the afternoon of the
day of the concert telegram was re-
ceived that the company had missed
connections at SwantOn and could not
get here until after O'Clock, the blum
der being wholly their own. The
committee wired reply that they must
be here on time and to that end chart
cred special train at an expense of
$99, and got them here. The patrons
of the lecture course should know the
effort the committee make not only to
secure good entertainments but to let
nothing interfere that they can pre-
vent to keeping all engagements.

A Dangerous Experiment.

A six years old son of Mr.. Whit
comb, who lives on the Danville road, J.,
while playing in the pasture with n
calf Friday, tied one end of rope
around his own neck and the other end
around the neck of the calf. The re-
suit was that the calf soon became un-
manageable and dragged the boy all
over the pasture. When found the lit
tie fellow was senseless and apparent
ly dead, as the rope had frightened
hang him. He revived finally and
will come out all right, though it was
Il remarkably narrow escape.

-Chamberlin Post is right on hand
for next Memorial day, having already
secured the services of Capt. Henry B.
AthertOn of Nashua, n. H., as the ora
tor. Mr.. Atherton was the author OF
the somewhat noted Atherton bill in
the last New Hampshire Legislature,
representing the Boston and Lowell
railroad interests in that memorable
fight.
One doesn't naturally think of the
Passumpsic or Moose rivers as being
any thing like the Jordan, but Charles
S. Robinson, d. D., in a recently pub
lished article in the Sunday School
Times says of his first impressions of
the Jordan: "To me the stream looked
like one of the familiar roaring branch
es used to be afraid of in Vermont,
augmented to the last degree by all
extraordinary and somewhat violent
summer shower until it was opaque
and muddy"
Real Estate Transfer.
A. L. Bailey has bought out B. 6.

Y. Nj. c.. A. Notes.

The Y. NJ. c.. A. state convention at
Middlebury was the most successful in
the history of the organization. The
address by Rev. F. E. Dawson of st.
Johnsbury OH the "Secret of power"
was very helpful. Among the papers
read was one prepared by J. S. Taylor
of st. JOhnsbury on the objects of the
convention, and one by Secretary Page
on "Work for young men in small
towns" Rev. Henry Fairbanks dis
cussed the estate work i'm Vermont,
what has been done and what may be
DONE" He spoke at some length of
the evangelistic work done by the as
sociations in 1857, complimented
highly the present work of his home
association, and suggested plans for
introducing work of a Y. M. G.. A.
character in our small towns. Mr..
Fairbanks also delivered an address
Saturday evening on the influence OF
Vermont young men in the West and
the consequent need that they be
Christian men. Col. J. j. Estey OF
BrattlebOro was elected president foI
the coming year, Rev. Henry Fair
banks first vice president. The state
executive committee consists of Rev
III. Fairbanks, Rev. t. P. Frost, G. L.
Page of st. Johnsbury, and ten others
with Mr.. Fairbanks as president of the
committee.
