Secretary RedAeld Proctor Is FL
filling the expectations Of his fello,
citizens Of Vermont, IN the practic,
and thorough manner IN which he

Department. The New York Tribun
is authority for the statement, in II
cent review of the present ADMINISTERS
ton, that more had been accomplishe
thus far since Secretary Proctor ha
come into Office than during the entir
four years OF his predecessor. Thi
Is no surprise to the people of thi
State who know the Secretary and be
lieve him to be second to no one in TIN
present Cabinet, excepting always thu
"Plumed Knight" They knew wha
to expect from former brilliant army
Colonel, solid Ex-Governor and ,
citizen millionaire who has won hi'
dollars by the same square,, straight
forward practical business judgmen,
that he is now showing in his new role
Of Secretary of War.
The success so far Of the Company
that is building the Kendall Folding
Machine ought to be, and we certainly
believe will be an Indictment 10 others
in town to interest themselves in man

al considerations aside, the assured en-
ployment at remunerative wages of fif-
teen to twenty men, concerns every
owner of real estate and every store
keeper in town. 1t means an increase
in the amount of money in circulation
and consequent increased demand for
every necessary of life. The present
force is being added to nearly every
day by the arrival of new and skilled
mechanics from other towns, who,
with the proper credentials, find ready
employment. OF course there is linn
it to this which will soon be reached.
But in most cases with each such me-
chanic employed comes family of
three or four, sooner or later. The
business now in hand insures the
steady running of the Folder factory
at its present capacity, for six months.
Let those who are DESTROYS to help
on the growth of our town, and
at the same time turn an honest
dollar for themselves, look about for
new lines of manufacture suited to
locality like ours, and we feel safe in
them of substantial help from
public spirited citizens.
The untimely death of G. M. Stone
of the St. Johnsbury Caledonian is
which every good, loyal cit

The disposition which one naturally
feels to say nothing but good of the
dead sometimes keeps the pen and the
tongue silent. In paying our last re-
spects to the memory Of our deceased |
friend, there is, we realize, nothing to |
be kept back in which the public have
been or might be interested, which, if |
Uttered would mar his memory. If we

such honorable citizenship imposes.
If we recall his course in the field of |
journalism, we at once accord to him a |
position among the first of his eontem- |
poraries. The death of such man is |
! great loss to any community. His |
example is most worthy one for the
Younger journalists of the State, to

will keep it up to its high standard,
