brigade, realizing about SO. The boys
marched through the streets in the even

The putting on of the additional trains
this week is great accommodation to
travelling men. 1t had been supposed the

connection below Fitchburg. The Rutland
Herald is the first to reach here, at $40,
and the Springfield papers reach us at

of the mills were run, the water being
given to the log men. Most of the young
people went to other places where there
were celebrations. Nearly all stores and
places of business were closed during the

celebration at Springfield.
The drive of logs, which has been pass
ing here the past three weeks, were all
over the falls today, and the camps will be
broken tomorrow. 1t has been unusually
hard and expensive this year running them
here owing to low water. A part OF the
men will complete their work here and
some will 60 back to assist the Fall Mount
ain Paper company with their two drives
which are starting into the Connecticut al
Wells River and White River junction,

Our older citizens, who knew II. H.
Stone during his many years residence
here, will regret to learn of his fnan,
cial embarrassment, which is announced
this week. MIR. Stone, soon after the
Cheshire road was built, began running
between here and Fitchburg as conductor
of passenger trains. About twenty years
ago he was promoted to be assistant
superintendent of the road, which position
he held until it passed into the hands o.
the Fitchburg road. He then resigned anC
retired wholly from railroading. About
two years ago he moved to Walpole, where
he has since resided. His son, William
who is also well known here, has LIVED
with him, being much out of health. Be
fore leaving Keene Mr.. Stone invested il
two stores, a shoe store known as tn,
Landers store, and in the Spencer hard
ware store, leaving the management of boil
to others. The assignment is result o.
these investments, and Horace A. Perry o
Walpole has been designated by tn
probate court as messenger.
