drank with relish.
1t was not long until the second divis..

the skirmish line of the enemy was
located This was driven through the
timber to the edge of an open field
where the enemy were found in force

disputed. For an hour and half, we
lay back where we camped, for the
night, listening to the roar of musket-
ry which had now become incessant.
The stretcher bearers were busily
carrying the wounded back through
our camp. Some of these had been
wounded more than once and all were
quite bloody. To troops who had never
been in hard fought battle, such
sights were more trying to the nerves

In 1910 Orange county touched high

being at that time only two counties in
Vermont with larger population, viz. ::

has steadily decreased, in 1890 instead
OF being third in population it has

is the remedy? Where the cause: Is
it the double taxation that the st.

men have Paid $500 for repairing the
town hall which was money well expend-
ed. They were called on to pay back $3.50
United States deposit money on account
of the decrease OF population. The town
voted free text books and some money
went for this purpose. These cannot be
reckoned as current expenses. The cur
rent expenses have been less than in for
mer years. The grand list of the town is
only $500 and the town at its last annual
meeting voted only fifty cents on the dol
lar with discount of four per cent. which
brought into the treasury about $500. No
wonder that the selectmen had to hire
money to meet the liabilities of the town.
Taxpayers appear to be ready to vote for

it was s210O, this year II is $500.
