The directors believe that this good
showing is due to economical man
agement, curtailing expenses when
revenues fell oh,and the fact that YER
mont, being an agricultural state, has
suffered less from the depression than
most other states.
The directors expect steady in
crease on account of the increasing
reputation of Vermont as summer
resort; from new mills and manufac-
tories which are being located along
the line, because Of the government
post in Essex; on account of the new
tariff law, which will increase trade
with Canada; and because of the tar
if which the extension Of the Canada
Atlantic from Ottawa TO Parry Sound
viii bring.
During the past year 500, ll5.49

bridges along the line.

From boyhood he had been an ardent

Henry Clay should be president of the
United States. Though the VOW was the
hasty impulse of sensitive youth, it was
ever faithfully kept.
During this period, of his career Judge
Norton enjoyed the personal friendships
of such men as Henry Clay, Horace

Scott, Reverdy johnson, w. H. Harrison
and Tom Corwin. Prior to the war he
edited newspapers at Austin and Fort

Norton remained steadfast Union man
and when it became evident that wal
was inevitable his position in Texas haC
become so unpleasant that he returned
to Ohio and remained there until HOSTILE

the provisional government of Texas, he
accepted the post of judge of the district
embracing Dallas and surrounding coun'

to himself and satisfaction of all. Judge

official governors mansion in the city,
and heretofore the governors have usual
" lived at hotels. Governor Boies' re.
girne was quiet one in social way, fol-
he lived at q hotel, and social matters
were looked after by his daughter Jessie,
who was almost too young to cope with
the responsibility. Governor Frank Jack

wife dispense the warmest hospitality.
Mrs. jackson is a Canadian by birth,

met for the first time at the state uni
versity, where both were students. Their
acquaintance did not end when they left
the university, although Miss Brock
went to Council Bluffs to live, and Mr.
jackson began making his mark %is a
lawyer in Independence. In 1877 they
were married, and four bright boys rang

is a woman of excellent taste, and tht
jackson mansion is model of comfor

her boys and her husband, she finds plen-

tact and cordiality. She is well posted

He was all ears and eagerness. His
name was Strauss. Finally the restraint
became too intense, and he broke loose:
