DOyou ask, g Where can l do this and
have my money absolutely safe ?" Let
US give you some facts. The Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Co. of
Hyde Park is an institution run on the
following principles =
1st. Not dollar is loaned without
the personal knowledge of some one of
the Board of Directors that the loan is
safe beyond question.
ID. Ii IS run as home institution.
Every dollar is loaned in F9T"nille and
adjacent counties, and e-~f, -, en-
terprise in the vicinity OF the towns
whence the deposits of the Bank come,
is fOstered and encouraged in preference
to other investments, so far as it can be
done with absolute safety.
Sd. Under no circumstances is a dol
lar invested in any western mortgage or
other out-of-the-State security We
might perhaps pay our depositors one
half of one per cent. per annum more
interest by mourning little additional
believe there is to-day a "Iong felt
WANT in Vermont for savings institu-
ton which will loan it's funds at home.
1t is needed that Vermont may not
become impoverished. 1t is needed for
the building up and fostering home in
situations. Vermont towns will not
boom without money any more than
towns beyond the Mississippi and in
Alabama. 1t is needed for the create"
safety of the savings of widows and 0;
phans as well as of all those who look
rather to the absolute security of the
principal than to high rates of interest.
With no disparagement to our neighbors
who prefer to occupy western fields we
offer to the depositing public the La
noble County Savings Bank and Trust
Co. as an institution organized to meet
the demand for strictly home Investment
Savings Bank. That such demand ex-
lists, and that the people are ready to be-
stow their confidence and encourage
ment upon such an insti. uti0n, is evil
denced by the fact that the aggregate of
the small deposits alone i'll this bank
not counting any in excess of $1,000
were at the end of the first six months
of it's business, $57, 1860, a record
without parallel, we believe, in the
history of Vermont Savings Banks.
4th Under no circumstances does
this Bank take over 6per cent. 1t would
not, knowingly, make an investment
which would pay over per cent. The
safest class of loans and securities will
command money at per cent. The
Bank pays the State tax of siX-tenths
of per cent. on deposits in lieu of all
taxes to the depositors. 1t must then be
evident that 4 per cent. per annum is all
that the Bank can SAFELY PAY. This
rate it will pay. 1t is guaranteed and
rests ON no contingency. Interest will
be compounded semi-annually if not
withdrawn.

NORTH CAMBRIDGE,

Emma Mudgett has engaged to teach four
weeks school, to make up the balance of the
school year, in District No 2, Georgia, under
permit from supervisor Rustedt, of Frank
lin County.
The matter of jurisdiction of our teachers
under the new law seems to be strictly confn-
ed to the County from which they hold GER
tihcates. But very few teachers, holding
Normal certificates, are reported as common
in Franklin County. 1t seems with so much
state aid our Normal school should do much
more efficient business. Some complaint is
made of lack of attention and interest in the
head.
An educational meeting attended at
Fletcher Centre in the Union church on We'd
nesday evening of last week. Superintendent
Palmer and supervisor Rustedt were in at
tendance and gave the citizens much good
advice in encouragement of the cause of edu-
cation. Mr.. Rustedt's talk was practical i'll a
marked degree, and gave universal satisfac-
ton. 1t would be safe to say that the super
visor made a favorable impression among the
people of Fletcher by his familiar and gentle
manly demeanor, Superintendent Palmer S
remarks were of thoughtful nature, and cal
culated to elevate the standard of teachers
work and profession, both morally and in
theory

respect to the day. At this village the pro-
gramme was fully carried out. The address
by Rev. Myra kingsbury was an admirable
one her audience being limited only by the
capacity of the hall, many being unable to

lent music and won praise from all. The
members of the G. A. r. would return thanks
to those who showed their respect for those
