Where is Your Board.

1t is said, on good authority, that
the grand jury will be called upon
to bring true bills for perjury
against a number of prominent

BANK PRESIDENT FOR SILVER.

The Post-Dispatch prints an
interview with L. c. Nelson, presi-
cent of st. Louis National Bank, in
which he declares unequivocally for
the tree coinage of silver at the
ratio OF l6 to l. Mr.. Nelson says
tnat he has always favored bi-met-
alllsm, but did not believe that the
United States could adopt free
coinage independent of other
nations; but he began to study the
question, and he says, the more he
read and studied it the more firmly
he became convinced that this
country could adopt it alone.
about a year ago he says he began
to advocate the adoption of free
coinage.
Banker Nelson says; mo one
can tell me that Europe is going to
withdraw its gold and refuse to
take American securities. What
would they do with their money!
They can't eat it and they can't
wear it, and they have got more
more of it than they know what to
90 with-gold money, too. They
want American loans, and they will
be glad to get them, whether silver
or gold is the money. If the U. S.
would take the initiative in this
matter and make silver the money
of the country it would soon be the
money of the world and the money
that everybody would want. This
country is in position to do that
very thing. 1t is the only country
that could no IT"
Hurrah for Nelson, He but
reiterates the idea we have express
ed dozens Of times in the past few
years. 10 finances our country can
rule the world, without a doubt.

Newbury Center, Jefferson hill
all afford lovers of nature a rich
treat in Gods wonderful land
scape. While from the summit
of spurs of Wright's mountain
traversed by highways leading
from Newbury to Topsham and
Corinth the whole white mouth
tain range is spread out in one
grand panorama of lofty peaks.
Back from the village five miles
is located Halls pond a much
patronized resort for picnic par
ties and sportsmen from a radius
of twenty miles. The pond is a
beautiful sheet of clear spring
water about one mile in length.
1t is on the shores of this little
inland lake surrounded by forests
that Mr.. Horace Bailey has his
summer house Scamp Pineton,'
which includes in it's we'll kept
grounds a pine grove of two
acres. Other lovers of nature
have purchased lots and intend
erecting summer cottages on the
shores of this pond which bids
fair to be little village of sum-
mer campers.

AS A SUMMER RESORT.

Newbury has never represented
itself as Astounding in summer
hotels and boarding houses with
great influx of summer board
ers. Newbury can, however, take
high rank among New England
towns as a delightful resting
place in the summer season.
Newbury lacks a ideal summer
hotel, yet there is no lack of good
country hotel accommodations
and as for accommodations in
private families Newbury is in
deed a royal town as hundreds of
people who have enjoyed the COM
forts of our hospitab1e homes can
testify, Many wealthy people
own comfortable cottage houses
in our village and occupy them
in the summer, months. The
Montebello Iron and Sulphur
Springs have been a resort of
wide medical reputation for a
period ante-dating the memory of
our oldest citizens, and has been
visited and patronized by thous-
ands of people from the four quar-
tiers of the earth.
A carriage road to the summit
of Mt. Pulaski, an elevation of
several hundred feet, which forms
the back ground to the village of
Newbury, has been constructed.
This road has been continued
southerly on the mountain ridge
until it intersects the highway
leading to West Newbury near
the fine residence of George H.
Moore on Prospect Hill. This
carriage road was built by private
subscription and opened to the
public for the sole purpose of adj
ding one more attraction to the
list. A small observatory build
ing has been erected on the sum-
NIT of Pulaski, and picnic grounds
with seats, which offers to every
one a delightful resting place.
The varied views of valley,
river and mountains to be had
from Mt. Pulaski and the carriage
road are unsurpassed in the Con-
necticut river basin, and IN -1st be
seen to be appreciated. The
drives in Newbury cannot be dup
licated-Roger's hill, the cross

BOLTONVILLE.

In the northeast corner of the
town lies the little hamlet of
Boltonville, where on the Wells
river is one of the best water
powers in northern Vermont.
The settlement of this thrifty
little place dates back to early in
1775, when the Scotch-American
Company, composed of band of
sturdy ScOtchmen who had set
tied in the south half of Ryegate,
bought, through their manager,
Gen. James Whitelaw, of Josiah
Little of Newbury, that part of
lot 120 that was on the north side
of Wells River, being 80 acres,
and reaching Ryegate line, with
one-half the water power, and
proceeded at once to build a grist
mill which was completed and set
running the 18th of October the
same year, with John Ferguson
as miller.
AT the same time the Company
built the first dwelling house and
Andrew Brock moved into it.
This house was standing until
1852, and always occupied by a
Brock or a Bolton family. The
last child born in this old house
was the youngest daughter of
William Bolton, now Mrs. Rob-
inson.
The second house was that
built by James Smith, he having
after the completion of the mill

student of public affairs, an old
line whig, later a staunch repub-
lican. He had very original no.
lions and was outspoken and
blunt. A man long to be remem-
bered by those VINO knew him
we'll. He died in 1888, at the
age of "a years. His aged wife
who survived him until 1892, was
one of the we'll known Aldrich
family of Bradford. OF her it
was truly said "the poor, the
sick, those in affection, living or
dead, will arise up and call her
blessed" The only male de-
scendants of the Bottoms now in
the place are Charles S., and son
Frank, who own the saw-mill in
addition to the property willed to
Julia Bolton. With one excep-
ton, John, son of William,
Charles S., is the oldest Bolton
living, in direct descent from
William Bolton who lived in
Reading, Mass, in 1920. In a
pleasant call at the old Bolton
homestead, Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan
ie1 Robinson were found, and
many dates needed in this sketch
were obtained. Mrs. Robinson
has a number of articles brought
from Scotland by the Scotch COM
pany and also many heirlooms of
the old Bolton family.
Freeman Tucker, the present
owner of the mill and store, is
the son of Samuel A., and Irena
(Prescott) Tucker, and his early
boyhood was passed on Jefferson
Hill, his father moving there
from West Newbury, when he
was six years of age. Upon
reaching manhood he went to
Concord, N. H., to work in the
asylum for the insane, and there
met Miss Sarah Lane whom he
married and they at once came to
Bo1tonville and he took possession
of his purchase. They have one
son. Mr.. Tucker has built up
good custom trade at both mill
and store, and last year sold 81
carloads of feed.
Mr.. Robinson's early years
were spent at Northfeld where
his father resided, but at the age
of sixteen he entered the employ
of E. & T. Fairbanks, and learn
ed the moulders trade, continuing
with them until the spring of
1870, when he married Belle F.,
youngest daughter of William
Bolton, and with his wife went
to Lebanon, N. H., having charge
of a foundry there. One year
later he returned to St. Johnsbury
and working for the Fairbanks
again, remained until 1873, when
he and his wife returned Bol-
tqnvil1e for their permanS (rre.
Having in 1876 the misN &c to
meet with an accident whereby
he lost the entire use of his right
arm, he was obliged to give up
farm work, but on regaining its
partial use, he entered the en-
p1oy of A. L. Bailey, organs and
pianos. He continued with him
twelve years, since which time
he has been buying bark and lum-
Der, beside the care of the farm
on which he lives.

Dartmouth college students. But
the school was patronized prin-
cipally by local pupils, and the
number was small. In the fall
of 1871 the old board of trustees
took possession and hired Rev. S.
L. Eastman as principal. For a
few terms the school was fairly
patronized, but Eastman claimed
that it did not pay running ex-
penses and a mortgage was given
by the trustees to secure him for
his services, which was in due
time foreclosed, and possession
taken. Under his management
the school gradually declined,
and nearly everybody expected
the present year would be his
last. But S. L. Eastman was
not the man to easily yield to diff
ficulties or opposition, as the cit
liens of Newbury learned as
years rolled on.
On December I'D, 1887, S. L.
Eastman decided all the Semi
nary property to John H. Hatch
of Groton. On the following
month the Seminary building and
common were decided to the vii
lage school district No. 4. The
following spring and summer the
Seminary building was thorough
1y repaired and furnished at an
expense of about $4,000, making a
total cost for the building and
grounds of over $4,000.
A new era was beginning to
dawn in Newbury, enterprising
citizens felt that a change was
near. A Village Improvement
Society was organized; first and
most enthusiastic in the move
was the late E. c. Stocker who
was chosen president, trees were
set out on the common, walks
were graded, the fountain filled
with water, concrete walks have
since been put down, and the cit
liens responded to any worthy
call.
In September 1888, the school
opened in the remode1ed school
building under the direct super
vision in the higher department
of Miss Edna A. Stuart, who re-
manned two years proving her.
self thorough and competent
teacher. In September 1890, Ell
mer E. French succeeded Miss
Stuart; he proved that he was
"the right man in the right
place" He organized a Business
Department and the school near
ly doubled in numbers under his
live, progressive methods during
his stay of nearly two years.
After the adoption of the Town
System, the Seminary was made
the Town Central School, and |
has since. been known as Newba1ry |
Seminary and Town Central
SCuOOl. l. TIC DuSIuCSS DCpdI u
ment organized by Prof. French
has been maintained and the old
er scholars throughout the town
have all the advantages that the
Town System affords. Neigh
boring towns realizing the bene-
fits to be had at this institution,
are availing themselves of these
privileges by sending their sons
and daughters hither. The school
directors have been fortunate in
securing Fred E. Prichard, a
graduate of Dartmouth college
as principal of the Town Central
school.
Such is brief and incomplete
history of Newbury Seminary of
the past, and its present condi-
ton today. What shall be its
future only time can reveal.

INTERESTING DATA.

1t should be noted that the inhabit-
ants upon a strip of land now part of
Topsham, but then claimed by New
bury were credited to Newbury in the
census of 1900, but in 1910 were and
since have been part of Topsham.
Also in the census of 1850, large
number of men, employed in building
the Passumpsic railroad north of the
freight depot at Wells River, were, with
their families counted as residents of
Newbury. Bear this in mind, and the
falling off between 1850 and 1860 was
not SO much among the regular resi-
dents of the town as would seem.
Newbury's New Hampshire charter,
signed by Benning Wentworth is dated
March IS, 1868. The New York char
ter signed by VIM. Tyron, is dated
March 18th, 1872.

WILL REBUILD Al ONCE.
The Central Coal & Coke Company to
Replace Dry Kilns and Make Other
Extensive Improvements,

The editor OF this paper visited
the mills of the Central Coal & Coke
Company, this morning, and had a
very pleasant interview with the
gentlemanly manager, Mr.. j, W.
zimmerman He informed us that
Mr.. W, Graham, vice.president Of
Globe Dry Kiln Co., of MERIDIAN,
Miss, will arrive today, and con-
tract to rebuild the two large dry
kilns burned a few days ago, will be
let, and work on same begun at
once. Kilns will be an improvement
on the old ones, in that a "mmber
stacker" run by machinery will be
added; by this means the lumber
will be quickly, and at less than
half the usual expense, stacked
edgewise, on cars, to be run in dry
kilns; drying will also be facilitated
thereby, The boarding houses will
also be rebuilt at once. Other splen-
did improvements are to be made,
Mr. zimmerman also informed us
that while the saw mill will be shut
down for the next thirty days,
pending these Improvements, that
the hands will be transferred to
their Ashdown mill, and by dividing
them into two crews, run it day and
night, Thus their supply oflumber
will be kept up.
Mr.. zimmerman is a live man, full
of vim and enterprise, and allows
no grass to grow under his feet in
the management of this big con-
cern. He tells us that there are
106 men on the pay roll at the saw
and planning mills here in TeXarka
nd. Capacity of the big saw mill, in
a ten hours rum is about l25O0O
feet of lumber; this record has been
beaten by 10000 feet on one or two
occasions. The 'Four C's" is a big
thing for TeXarkana, and we are
proud of it.
