Andrew Burnham, local editor OF the
Willamstown Herald, has long been greatly
afflicted as to his eyes having wholly and
hopelessly lost the sight of one of them,

greatly impaired. But now ray of hope
comes to him, through an ocuist, DIR. Les

Speaking of sending Vermont money
west for investment, prominent bank
man in one of our largest towns recently
said to us that, while it was doubtless being
Invested with more caution, of late, in that
section, 1t would doubtless continue to be-
sent there because the surplus of New En-
gland capital could not all be- used here. We
would seriously commend our own town as
place for Investment of some of this
surplus in developing the granite and other
industries.
f. G. Clark, an old Vermonter, and now
a lawyer in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, took our
place by pleasant surprise last week Tues
DAY evening, remaining as a guest over
night. More than thirty years ago he
taught two or more terms OF school in our
village, the good order of which survives in
memory to this day. After preparatory
course in Brrre Academy and service in
the war OF the rebellion, he graduated at
Middlebury College, and went to the West.
His estimable wife nee Hattie Newton OF
Rochester, VI, and well known az a teacher
here in an earlier day died some two years
ago, leaving several children, the oldest son
being now associated with his father in the
practice of law. Such renewals of old ac-
workmanship are good for all concerned.
