BELLOWS FALLS BUDGET

White mountains, next week, leaving here |
Wednesday afternoon and returning Satur
dav. About 30 couples have agreed upon
the trip and arrangements have been made
for special car service and with the hotels |
for the best accommodations at low rates. Il
promises to be a most enjoyable trip aud is
but the first of several of a similar nature to
other points of interest each year Besides
the usual enjoyment of trip like this by a
large party of ones own friends, there is n
chance to make it at much more reasonable
figures, and better facilities are furnished for
seeing all points of interest than if the peo-
pie went in smaller numbers. This mode
Of "vacating' has been proved successful
to a large degree by the popular excursions
Of Raymond & Whitcomh In this case the
party, being arranged by DR.. e. r. Campbell
Of this place, furnishes the extra advantage
Of being personally conducted by a man
well known in the medical fraternity, and
will be more than successful and safe for
obvious reasons.
The final report to the probate court upon the
estate of the late Mrs r W. Bancroft was made

suit to the creditors than was expected The set

tangled threads Of the past transactions of the
Terrace hin milk farm. and was not an enviable
Job. The Indebtedness was large. and at one
time the prospect was that the creditors would
receive but little if anything. The report shows
about S3G,0OO received and paid out while every
creditor had been paid in full with interest on his
account and about $4,000 balance is left to di-
vide between rrsiduary legatees named in the
will Mr. Bancroft having no property in his
name at the time of his death, no administrator
was appointed and the settlement of Mrs Ban.
croft's estate covers the whole transaction Of
those parties while living in Bellows Falls.
