The democrats appropriated 100000
to build million dollar penitentary.
This degree of accuracy in public bust
ness is eminently democratic. They have
increased the state debt 100000 on the
penitentiary account and if they are
kept in power the chances are they will
increase it that much more.

Turney may think he can kill Evans

but he forgets that eight tenths of the
voters of Tennessee never saw Brownlow
and know nothing of him except the
myriad of lies told on him by the de-
mocracy. They do know Evans, how
ever, and know that he made the best
congressman this district ever had.

Manufacturing.
Bradford cannot be called manufacturing

line have been prosecuted upon the banks of

that stream at this point affords an excellent
water power, which doubtless at a near future
date will be more extensively utilized than at
present. Among the more prominent institu-
tions at present engaged in manufacturing

about five years, and is manufacturing

England are familiar with the cheerful face of

Commercial Interests.
Bradford is known as commercial, rather
than manufacturing center, and its trade is
rapidly increasing. A large extent of territory
densely populated and rich in agricultural re-
sources, has long been under control of the |
village. The effect of this is to bring Brad |
ford prominently forward as commercial
town, and in the grand rivalry among the |
villages of the state for commercial power |

undoubtedly the largest list of depositors in
the state. Few banks of New England oper-
ate under such favorable circumstances, for,
as indicated in the beginning, this bank draws
its patronage from IA towns and villages. Its
correspondents are the National Revere Bank
of Boston, the United States National of New
York and the Metropolitan National of Chi
cago. The executive officers of the bank are
gentlemen with whom it is always pleasure
in all their dealings with the public, they are
naturally popular and in their own personali-
ty uphold the credit of the bank in both COM
mercial and social life. The president, Geo.
w. Chapman, was elected to that Office July
8, 1888. He is man of prominence in fnan-
cial circles, and pursued the practice of law
in Haverhill, N. H., for number of years.

money market was in panic and all business

We quote the above as an indication of the
deep interest manifested by the early inhabi-
tants in regard to public affairs. 1t appears
that police regulations for the restraint of
boys, men, and other animals,
were not neglected, as on June y, 1855 they
voted "to build pound, at the town cost, by
order of the selectmen; also stocks and sign
post" The sign post was used both as an ad-
bulletin hoard aud o whipping
post, and this and the stocks stood on the
street where you turn to go to the Moore pa
per mill. But those days have long since
passed. There is new order of things now,
and we recall the past because
"We love these verdant hills.
These wales our fathers titled,

and because the new Bradford will seem all
the brighter in contract with the old.
The Village of Bradford
became village under charter from the
legislature dated Nov, "a, 1890, so that as a
village it is not quite four years old. But
Bradford has been busy, hustling business
point for very many years. In western countri-
es the rapid growth of villages is usually ex-
pected to commence with the inception of the
firsti newspaper, and following that rule

however, that would be trifle inaccurate.

of very important nature have been made.
The big fire Of 1882 destroyed almost totally
the business portion of the west side of Main
street, resulting in the erection Of business
blocks that would do credit to any city in the
state. Stevens block, which was erected by
the late w. b. Stevens, is most substantial
building, costing $4,000. 1t was erected in
1888 and covers the lot formerly occupied by
the Harvey building. On the second floor this
building contains the law office of G. A.

cending to the third story we find the armory
of Company G, Bradford Guards, Captain H.
b. Chamberlain. This IL one of the finest
companies In the state of Vermont, and In
this large, richly furnished and well-equipped
hall they have the finest armOry in Vermont.
Numerous other creditable business build
ings have been erected within the past few
years, among them the very fine Hotel Low
and the Opinion building, but a most note
worthy public building just finished is the new
Public School Building,

Of the academy and graded school. The build
ing, which Is located in the northern portion
of the village on a charming and commanding
site, is one Of the most elegant public school
buildings in Vermont. Built of brick and
stone, 1t is model Of architectural design and
arrangement, and is an acquisition OF which
the people of Bradford are Justly proud. The
structure is named for the late John l.. Woods,
the generous philanthropist Of Cleveland, o.,
and former resident of Vermont, who pre-
sented to the village of Bradford $4,000 for
the erection of this building and a
Public Library Building,
Which will be commenced in the immediate
future, the plans and specifications being now
prepared. 1t will cost when completed about
$4,000, and will be erected upon u very de-
sirable site in the central portion of the vii
lage.
Water Works.
The village of Bradford is provided with
every modern improvement upon which
health and convenience depends. The water
works system which was completed last year
at an expense of $4,000 has no superior in
respect to pure and abundant supply any
where in the country. The water is collected
into an enormous reservoir from numerous
never-failing springs in the hillsides, and
piped to every portion of the village by
