AMONG THE HORSEMEN.

H. E. Brewster of Passumpsic en-
tered Little Harry yesterday in the
235 class at the state fair at Bur-
lington.
Robert Pettigrew of Lyndonville
has offered D. K. Wakefield of Dan
vile $4OO for his Golden colt that is
own brother to Helen NJ, w. S.
Bailey's promising two-year-old.
At the time of the breeders meet
ing here it was stated that a man
was ready to back Darlington Chief,
owned by E. c. Carpenter of New
York, against Golden, owned by w.
S. Bailey of East Hardwick, in a race
for $1,000. Darlington Chief has no
record and has been in the stud for
two seasons at Lyndonville, while
Golden has a record of 22SA. Mr..
Bailey told the writer that he should
not accept this proposal as he did
not care to put Golden in training,
but he would race his two-year-old
Helen M against Darlington Chief
for $1,000, or three of Cobden's colts
against three of Darlington Chiefs.

THE DOG QUESTION.

The dog question is being solved
A strange dog without a collar en-
tered large tenement block on Rail
road street last Sunday, frightening
the occupants who were unable to
eject him. No one knew the owner
and an officer was sent for. In at
tempting to eject the animal the Off
Ger was bitten, but he succeeded in
getting the brute out and killing him,
as the law directs If this little event
could be repeated times enougt-all
except the biting-this village would
soon be much pleasanter and safer
place of residence. g. A Kimball, a
former prominent citizen of the town
of Georgia, this state, died last week
on Monday a most horrible death
from hydrophobia, having been bit
ted by a dog June 21st.

The rapidity with which the river
dried up after it stopped raining is
remarked by many. The past week
or two without rain has almost Gre
ated a drouth, although most people
are under the impression that it has
been Il very rainy season. But these
warm days have saved the corn crop
and given the farmers a chance to
harvest their grain.

RAILROAD NEWS.
The Maine Central railroads ex-
tension from Fabyan's to Scott's, II
miles long, is completed and it is ex-
pected that the Boston & Maine will
run its trains over it after Oct. 7.
About a months work in ballasting
the track must be done before regular
trains can be run. Lunenburg, in
stead of Scott's, will then be the ter
minal station of the Lake road and
new sidings and an engine house will
be erected. Work has already been
commenced on the new round house,
the expense to be borne equally by
the two railroads. The round house
will have pits.
After considerable preliminary
work, horses, dump carts and Ital-
ians have arrived at the Pumpkin hill
trestle and the work of filling in the
big hole has begun in earnest. A
force of 125 men will be put on and
the work continued as far into the
winter as possible. The Italians
came over from the Maine Central
extension Monday and sleep in box
cars which are side-tracked near the
trestle The trestle will be filled for
the present by dump carts as it is
so high the dirt could not well be
dropped from the track to the ground
until the distance between the two
is considerably less.

ANOTHER COUNTY PAPER.

The long promised paper at Hard
wick arrived Monday. 1t is the Ga
zette, published by John E. Harris, for
merly ofthe st. Johnsbury Index. The
Gazette is what is generally known
as patent outsides," half the paper
being printed in the city The inside
pages however are made in Hard
wick and are rich, rare and racy.
The first number has some decidedly
good hits. The editor is so silent in
his salutatory about his political
policy that we half suspect the Ga
zette is to be a prohibition journal.
This suspicion is strengthened by its
pronounced religious tone. The edi-
tor says: 1--WE have religious opin-
ions, such as they are, and always
make it a point to attend divine
service at some camp meeting at least
once a year" The Gazette makes
the sixth newspaper published in
Caledonia county and every man
should now be able to have a local
paper even if he has to borrow one

NORTH DANVHLE.
Death of Thomas Randall.

Il
Thomas Randall died at his home
in this village Aug. 80, after week S
sickness, at the age of 81. Mr.. Ran
dali was born on the we'll known
Randall farm in 1905. This farm
was owned by his grandfather, his
father and by himself, and there he
spent his life until he removed to the
village some ten years ago. He con-
fessed the Christian religion and was
baptized by the late Rev. Jonathan
Woodman and united with the Free
Baptist church in this place Oct. 16,
1881, thus being a member of the
same church for nearly 50 years. He
married Sally Thompson January,
1929, and for 60 years they lived
most happily together. They had
but one child, Judson, a son of much
promise, who died in early manhood.
Thomas Randall was one of a family
of eleven children-eight sons and
three daughters. Five sons only re-
main. Mr.. Randall was remarkable
in three things, punctuality, hospi-
tality and benevolence. Every duty
must be done on time; no one must
leave his home hungry or his team
unfed; whatever was wanted to aid
the church was freely given. The
North Danville church and parsonage
might never have been here if it had
not been for his benevolence and
push. AS deacon, clerk and choris-
ter, and in fact in every way, he had
been most useful to the church. A
pleasant monument to his memory
are the long rows of maple trees on
each side of the road by the home
farm. Funeral services were held
last Sabbath, Rev. M. Atwood, his
pastor, officiating.
