seventeen parodies to the song by
the time the Ministries and come

FINANCIALLY EMBARRA ssED,

Col. H. E. Folsom and his father,
Charles Folsom, both of Lyndon
vile, are financially embarrassed and
have offered to make an assignment
OF all their property to committee
of five for the benefit of their credit
ors. The committee consist of L. d.
Hazen, representing the Merchants
bank of St. Johnsbury; L. K.
Quimby, representing the Lyndon
national bank; L. B. Harris, repre-
senting the Lyndonville national
bank; P. K. Gleed, representing the
Morrisville Savings bank, and Joel
F. Sanborn of Lyndon Centre, re-
presenting the creditors outside the
above-named banks. The consent of
the creditors to this arrangement
is now being secured and the assign
ment will be made within week
without any recourse to the insol-
vency court.
Their failure was caused by heavy
endorsements on notes of Stephen
M. Folsom at Albuquerque, a
brother of Col. Folsom. The former
finds himself unable to pay the notes
and the endorsers, who signed to
help member of their own family,
are now forced to assign.
The elder Mr.. Folsom has always
been hard-working man and &C.
cumulated his property by hard
work and plenty of it. He is a farm
er and was the last representative
from Lyndon to the legislature. Col
Folsom is one of the best-knowr
men in this sectionof the state from hi.
long and successful railroad career
He is regarded as one of the best rail
road men in New England, and has
host of friends in railroad circles who
will regret that misfortune has over
taken him.
The Folsoms have many friend
not only in St. Johnsbury and Lyn
don, but throughout the county wh'
will be sorry to learn of their hnan
cial Embarrassment.

A MODEL GRAIN STORE.

Griswold, Pearl & Co. are moving
into their new building in Paddock
village and it is unquestionably the
best grain and -four house in this
section of New England. 1t is a
roomy, four story structure with d.
mensions so by 80 feet. Below the
main building is dwelling house
to be occupied by their delivery man
and north of the building, but
connected by platform, is COM
modious oil house. A side track ex-
tends the entire length of their
property and all their carloads of
-four, grain and kerosene can be un-
loaded right into the storehouse.
In the basement of the building is
hot air furnace, for heating the
office, and the track floor where the
cars will be unloaded.
On the main floor are the offices.
These are finished in two shades of
ash, birch floor and spruce cell
ing. At one side of the room of this
floor are seven spouts which draw
the grain from the floor above. On
the second floor from the street are
seven large bins, each of which will
hold about carload of grain. In
the upper floor is the mechanism of
the elevator, which is the most inter-
esting object in the whole building.
The elevator is built by the Morse
Company and has a capacity Of
1900 pounds. 1t runs stiller than a
sewing machine and the motive
power is supplied by an endless
chain from Hynes' machine shop.
The doors on each floor open and
close automatically and it is an in
teresting process to see these doors
open and shut.
Horace Randall was ma ster build
er of the block and about four
months has been occnpied in build
ing. The building is lighted by
electricity and is very strongly built.
Nearly 10000 feet of lum Der has
been used in the building.
I The firm are to be congratulated
upon their excellent quarters and
they deserve continued success.

IN INSOLVENCY.

AN A.NOOL FENCf.
The Citizens bank of St. Johnsbury
and the Lyndonvlle National bank
and the Lyndonville Savings bank
have petitioned Charles T. Walter
into insolvency. The Citizens bank
hold about $4,000 of Walters paper
and the Lyndonville banks have
$4,000 more. One note of $1700 at
the Citizens bank and the $4,000
held by the Lyndonville banks have
the forged endorsement of T. c.
Fletcher, for which forgeries Walter
was arrested last August.
Walters liabilities are not far from
$4,000 and his assets are mostly
the farm at East Burke, which is
probably worth about one-tenth of
his Indebtedness. Fully halt of his
Indebtedness is in the form of notes
to the banks in this vicinity. The
genuine notes have good endorsers,
or in some cases are secured by good
collateral.
