We are reminded at the close OF the gov
ernor's Thanksgiving proclamation that
Vermont is only one year younger than
the United States, the state having de-
clared its Independence in 1777 and main
tanned it for fourteen years, or until she
entered the Union in 1891. She Is the first
born child of the American Union and the
only one OF the states, except Texas, that
ever had an independent national exist
ence. Her younger sisters should pay
Vermont the respect due to her seniority.
A few weeks ago an item was published,
giving the circumference OF butternut
tree In Braintree as about fifteen feet.
This was believed to be quite sizeable
tree, but Randolph Center, it has been dis
covered, can throw Braintree completely
into the shade with stately butternut,
standing in Mr.. Henry 5malley's yard,
that measures at the base, just above the
ground, nineteen feet, seven and one-half
inches in circumference, and at the limbs
seventeen feet, eight inches in circum-
ference.
For the Thanksgiving season, the Cen.
trail Vermont railroad will sell special
round-trip tickets for two cents a mile
for thirty.three miles or less, with maxi.
mum rate OF 81, and minimum rate Of
fifteen cents; for thirty-four miles and
over, fare one way will be given, which is
one and one halt cents mile each way
between all stations in New York and
Vermont. The tickets will be good going
Wednesday and Thursday, November 9th
and 28th, and good returning until Mon
day, December End, inclusive. No stop
over privileges allowed. Nh,
Monday, on account OF some trouble on
the northern line, the afternoon NAH train
was delayed an hour and half. Tuesday
morning, there was collision at Water
bury in which the dairy train was wrecked
and the morning mail was, accordingly,
unable to reach here until afternoon.
This last makes the third accident on the
Central Vermont within short time, and
there are grave apprehensions that il this
streak i'll OF luck continues, the Kings
Daughters or some other charitable or
ganization will have to furnish the cor
poration with q Thanksgiving turkey.
Although the High School Football
team has had arrangements made for
games with three out-of-townA teams, only
one regular game has yet been played.
Two of the three teams with which ar
engagements had been made, gave sat
reasons for canceling their dates
but the reasons advanced by the third
team were hardly satisfactory. Notwith-
the past unfortunate experiences
the boys expect to be able to give the pub
lie an opportunity to witness good foot
ball game at McCall's Athletic park on
Thanksgiving day, weather permitting.
Bills will be out later.
The fine lawns in front OF the handsome
residences OF our attractive village, with
their green, smooth shaver surfaces, have
been delight to the eye during the past
summer, and the flowers which decked SO
many OF them greeted the ofactory nerves
81 the passers- by with a pleasant sensa-
tion suggestive OF rural scenes and the
charms OF country life. Many OF them
have lately been treated to a dressing
which increases their rural suggestive
ness. They are fairly redolent OF country
life, and one passing them with his eyes
closed and his nostrils open would surely
Shink be was passing by some farmers
coward in the sweet vernal season OF the
year.
