RECENT DEATHS.
RickfOrd.


Maitland S. Bickford died at his
home in Fairbanks village Tuesday
morning, IAN. Is, at the age of 20
years and eight months. The sub
ject of this notice was born III Straf-
ford. When a mere lad his father
died, leaving n widow and this boy
to carry on the hill farm. The boy
was always delicate, born diseased,
and after a hard struggle the home
farm was abandoned and mother
and son removed to st. .JOhnsbury in
the fall of SO Unable to find much
work and unable to do hard service,
young Bickford drifted into the Cal
edonian office where he did chores
and odd jobs for several weeks until
his fidelity and indomitable persever
ance showed his employers that he
would sometime be of assistance
Most faithfully and conscientiously
did he perform every service for near
ly two years, until a severe hemor-
rhage last October deprived him of
the strength for further work. Since
that time he has been shut in, a great
but patient sufferer Like other
young men, life looked bright to him,
and at first 1T was a struggle for him
to give up earthly hopes. But when
he realized the inevitable his only re-
gret was in leaving his widowed
mother whose comfort and only sup
port he was. After most intense suf
fering for weeks, rest came at last.
Young Bickford united with the
North Congregational church in
May 'S7. His life was without re-
proach. BY nature not only retiring,
but timid and bashful, there was in
him a nobility and unselishness
which won the esteem and love of all
who came to know him. Peace to
his memory. May his brief life be a
useful lesson to all his acquaintance.
Buck.
News was received here last week
of the death at Boston on Wednesday
of Jerry Buck, of pneumonia. Mr..
Buck was well known in this vicin-
ity. He was for some years clerk in
Fairbanks store, at the st. Johns
bury house, E. B. Merriam's and
elsewhere He was an excellent
salesman and an affable and compe-
tent business man. At the time of
his death he was billing clerk in the
Boston & Lowell railroad office
His remains were sent to Waterford
Saturday, where his widowed moth
er resides. His age was about 40

Mrs c. B. Truax has returned to
Hartland.
At the annual meeting OF the Con
gregational church these officers
were elected: Clerk, M McCurdy !;
treasurer, ]. G. Hovey; trustees, Ira
6. Smith, Frank Hovey, ]. G. Hovey.
1t was voted to continue the weekly
offering for another year. The church
still employs Elder Henderson and
have a faithful leader in him. On the
first Sunday of the New Year three
joined the church on confession of
faith.
Five years ago this January the
friends and neighbors of Mr.. and Mrs
H. F. Griswold filled their house to
overlooking, left many valuable pres
ents, and after extending hearty con-
gratulations bade them God speed.
Last Tuesday evening they were
again the recipients of the same gen
erous and hearty good will. About
75 of their friends gathered and in
behalf of the company Judge ]. 6.
Hovey presented them with 20 silver
dollars. The recipients were duly
grateful for this exhibition of esteem
and friendship.

SETTLED AGAIN.

The Post Office to Remain on the Plain.
The petitions not to remove and to
remove thepost office were closed last
week and Henry c. Ide and Marshall
Montgomery took them to Wash
ington Saturday and were given
hearing on Tuesday. On Tuesday
evening the following telegram was
received here:
WASHINGTON, Jan. IS.
Full hearing before Postmaster
General personally Final decision
location not changed. Amen
H. c. IDE.
Thus ends a question which was
agitated in 1888 and renewed with
unabated vigor within the last few
months. This decision is eminently
gratifying to the 1900 patrons of
the office who signed the petition to
have the site remain where it is
Among this number were nearly 200
on Railroad street and vicinity and
large number from Summerville.
When Senator Edmunds told the
Postmaster General at the previous
hearing that three-fourths of the
business of the office was better ac-
commodated with the present site he
told the truth and it needs only a
little figuring to see it. The Acade-
my, Athenaum, Probate office, Coun
tv clerks office, Y M c. A and town
Offices have a combined mail service
which must not be overlooked. Nor
is it political matter as has been
suggested, for both petitions were
signed by all parties. The first de-
cision removed the question from
politics. The remonstrants were
then given to understand that the
present administration were not go
next administration and so the last
petition was not upon party grounds
though many democrats signed the
paper. The location having been
amicably settled the owners of the
building will obtain another five
years lease and make such changes
in the office as cannot fail to be ac-
ceptable to all. These changes would
have been madelong ago had not the
question of removal been agitated.
Now that the subject is under dis
cussion a few words upon free deliv-
cry may be in order. The receipts
for 1888 were 5000 over the limit for
which free delivery is sgranted. If the
receipts of the office are equal to this
when the fiscal year closes in July
then St. Johnsbury can have free de-
livery. Then all drop letters will
cost two cents, an extra expense to
many business men who will have no
occasion to 'patronize the free deliv
cry service. Again it is very doubt
full if in so small town enough car
riers can be employed to render eff
cient and rapid service. This has
been the universal objection in other
towns in Vermont and in the smaller
cities of Massachusetts,. To those
who are satisfied with receiving their
mail only twice a day, free delivery
is a joyful boon, but to the majority
of the business men it has no attrac-
tiOnS

Fair Ground Compauv Meetiue


The Fair Ground company organ
lied in the afternoon, the call being
read by E. A. Parks Treasurer
Higgins presented his annual report
which was accepted and adopted.
The receipts for the fair were $3126
as against $4O6S of 1887. The ex-
penses were $527O. From this
amount there was paid to Treasurer
Ide $1525; premiums for the races,
$597; buildings and repairs, $15O6;
music, police, Judges, narshals, etc,
$7S1 other expenses, $556.95. The
surplus of $500 has been reduced to
$500. AS extensive repairs have yet
to be made on the buildings the out
look for an increased surplus is not
encouraging. The falling off of the
receipts this year was due to the bad
weather and the increased expenses
to the repairs and new building.
When it came to the election of di-
rectors David Trull objected to vot-
ing for slate" every year and NOV
ed the directors be chosen separate
ly. Judge Parks did not see why the
directors could not be chosen all at
once and thus save much time How
ever, he put Mr. Trull's motion and
there was a tie vote on the question.
Judge Parks voted against the mo-
tion and the following board of di-
rectOrs was chosen:
Franklin Fairbanks, st. Johnsbury;
E. A. Parks, Waterford A. S. Living
ston, William Higgins, c. A. Sylves-
ter, E. T. Ide, ]. G. Hovey, William
E. Peck, St. Johnsbury; l. H. Hall,
L. B. Harris, Lyndon; William
Adams, Passumpsic.
F1fty-seven votes were cast for
these men which is the old board
with the exception of w. p Fair
banks and n. M. Johnson. Their
places are filled by William E. Peck
and William Adams The directors
organized with the old board of of
fcers as follows:
President, E. A Parks.
Vice President, A. S. Livingston.

IIOUOR sEJIER CAUcHT

TOhn F. Clark, a Waterford moon
sinner who has been selling liquor in
this community for several months,
was arrested by the police last week
and held for trial At the trial before
Justice Nichols on Monday he was
fined $50 and costs and in default of
payment was committed. On Satur-
day Frank Owen of Waterford, with
whom Clark has been living since
October, called at the jail to see him.
The greeting he received from Sheriff
Sulloway consisted of a warrant for
his arrest for being an accomplice of
Clark He furnished bonds awaiting
his trial which was held before Jus
tice Nichols on Tuesday.
At Owens trial the only witness
for the state was Mr. Clark. Hetes-
titled that they received nine gallons
of whisky by express at different
times and that they sold it in St
Johnsbury and elsewhere at night
He stated the circumstances of a sale
by Owen at the saloon under the Av-
enue house and also Owens sale to
another st. Johnsbury party He
said the liquor cost them $125 a
gallon in Woodsville and they retail
ed it at 75 cents pint and found
ready customers He had told Owen
that he was willing to take the risk
of detection for the sake of the profits
IN the business. In answer to a ques-
ton OF the states attorney he said
he had been convicted of this offence
before and had lived in Victory, East
Concord and elsewhere in this vicini-
ty before he came to Waterford
Mr. Owen took the stand and de-
MED IN toto all of the charges and
stories that Clark related. He said
Clark brought the liquor there and
that he (Owen) never sold any or
brought any to st. Johnsbury. The
case was briefly argued for the state
by Mr.. Dunnett and for the respond
ent by Harry Blodgett Mr. Owen
was discharged for lack of evidence!

GOV. CUMBACK'S LECTURE.

Gov. Will Cumback of Indiana lee
tured in the young mems course
Monday evening to what he was
pleased to term "a large and intelli-
gent audience His subject, "Invis-
ible some people" proved to be the
gossips, slanderers and tattlers of
modern times, and the lecture was a
satire as well as a sermon upon the
evil that these people can accomplish
Running through it all was bright
vein of humOr and his apt stories
were frequently applauded. He is a
fluent speaker and one whose plat
form utterances cannot fail to elevate
and purify society. The audience
heartily echo the wish, expressed so
happily by A. l.. Bailey in introduc-
ing the lecturer, that the Governor

THE SNOW ROLLER.

The matter of purchasing a snow
roller was agitated at thelast March
meeting and left in the hands of the
selectmen with power to act. They
have had one made by A. l. Bragg
that costs about $50 and weighs
two tons The roller is - feet wide
and will be used from here to Pas
sumpsic, to the Centre and to the
Danville line as soon as the first
heavy snow storm comes. After its
success has been as thoroughly dem
onstrated as in other towns in the
county the village will want one too.
Hardwick's four snow rollers kept
the roads in excellent shape all
through the winter and when spring
came the highways were found to
be in a better condition than is usual
after a long winter.
