Rev. G. w. Morrow delivered the SECOND

Friday and Saturday, that poem, en-
titled beautiful Snow came floating
through the air, and its lines jingled mer-
rily with the tintinna bulations OF the jol-
ly sleigh bells. When Sunday morning
came, the lumbermen, who have had alto
gether too many sdays OF rest" this win
ter, felt very much like performing their
devotions in the groves, which they re-
membered to have heard were Goods first
temples"
Two OF our enterprising citizens, Scion
and Charles Sulham, were escorted out OF
town with much pomp and circumstance
Saturday morning, their body guard con-
sisting OF Deputy Sheriff Allen III. Ash
and George Morris, ESQ.,, of Lisbon, N.
H., the latter formerly examiner OF teach
ers for Orange county. 1t seems that the
two Sulhams were indicted at Lisbon for
burglary committed in that place year
ago this month, when they entered the
houses of Mary B. Redington and Charles
Clay, purloining from the first, two silk
dresses and from the second, four gold fin
ger rings. Fondness for dress and pas
sion for finger rings appear to have
caused their ruin. The trial will prob
ably take place in March. The Sulhams,
during their enforced absence, will be
very much missed by the people of Pan
dolph if bags of meal and other portable
articles are not.
The second public monthly meeting OF
the Good Templars occurred in the Grange
hall last Thursday evening. The hall was
well-tilled, and the exercises, presided
over by the chief templar, Mrs. II. M.
Miller, were OF an interesting character.
The singing was by quartette composed
of 0. j. Marcott, Carlos Pratt, Miss. Min
ME Carpenter and Mrs. w. A. Scott.
There was reading by Miss Jetta Clark
and song by little Miss Mabel Drake.
Then the Rev. q. w. Morrow was intro
duced and delivered an eloquent temper
ance address, which was enlivened by
some humorous stories and remarks, and
held the close attention OF the audience.
This was followed by recitation by Miss
Edith Morse and closing piece by the
quartette, Miss A bbie Clark officiating as
pianist. The meeting adjourned after
vote of thanks to Mr.. Morrow, and.a So
cial hour ensued.

A Vermont Journalist.

The following sketch, which will be OF
interest to the many friends of the gentle
man mentioned, appeared in the January
number of Lire Matter, a journal pub
lished in Boston:
s'Lewis p. Thayer, the newly-chosen
president of the Vermont Press associa-
tion, is one of Vermont's best known and
most energetic newspaper publishers. He
enjoys wide acquaintance in business,
political and social circles in his own state,
and is genial, whole-souled gentleman
who makes friends wherever he may go.
He has been connected with number Of
newspapers during highly successful
business career extending over more than
a score of years, and has been credited
not only with leaving such property in a
much better condition than he found it,
but also with usually making venture
pay him well for the labor and capital in
volved. He is at present the owner of two
of the leading newspapers OF the state
the st. Johnsbury Republican and the
Bellows Falls Times.
Mr.. Thayer was born in Barnard, YER
mont, October %, 1851. After acquiring a
common school education and taking a
course in the State Normal School at Ran
dolph, he entered the Office of the Green
Mountain Herald, at Randolph, then I'M
der the proprietorship Of the late Rev. E.
Gerry, Of whom he learned the printers
trade. In 1873 he purchased the plant and
subscription list, which was very small,
but from the date OF the change in pro-
prietorship, the growth OF the business
began. In 1879 he sold the property to Il.

Mr.. Thayer, during his ownership OF the
Randolph HERALD, was at one time part
owner Of the Burlington Clipper and latel
held a financial interest, for time, in the
Northfield Necs.
The st. Johnsbury Republican having
become financially involved by the mis-
management of its publisher, the property
was sold at an assignee sale November 20
1894, and Mr. Thayer was the purchaser.
May l, 1895, he also bought the Bellows
Falls Times OF A. w. Emerson & Company
and at present is looking after the bust
ness interests of both plants, and appar-
emily with success, las both journals have
greatlylsimproved since he assumed pro-
prietorship.
Although ready writer and capab BILE
editor, the strong point Of his career has
been his extraordinary capacity as man
ager. 1t might be added here that he
thoroughly believes in town news as the
chief factor in local newspaper and every
other feature is comparatively secondary
consideration.
In addition to his newspaper property,
Mr.. Thayer owns considerable real estate
in the pleasant village of Randolph, where
he has fine residence, which is presided
over by an accomplished wife, while two
interesting children, a daughter and son,
add to the cheerfulness OF his home. Mr..
Thayer is in his religious preferences an
Episcopalian and is leading member in
his home parish.
The subject assigned Mr.. Thayer at the
recent Vermont Press meeting was "How
to make newspaper pay" Excepting
everlastingly at it, was the solution he
offered, and undoubtedly this, with shrewd
and exceedingly able business manage
ment, is the SCOOP which has enabled
Mr.. Thayer to acquire an enviable reputa-
tion and also, incidentally, to gather to-
gether pretty fair amount OF worldly
possessions"

AGE OF COMBINES"

Trusts and combines are springing
up in nearly every department of in
dustry. The steel billets and steel
rails are in combines which holds the
price Of rails 81 to So ton higher to
our own roads and consumers than to
foreign purchasers. Billets from which
wire and many other forms Of mer-
chant steel are rolled and drawn have
been advanced several dollars ton.
The shovel manufacturers have COM
bined to limit output and have ad-
vanced prices 20 per cent.
With combines in explosives, in
tools, in rails, in many other import
ant articles used by miners and rail-
roads, the cost of mining and deliver
ing in market is largely increased, to
the detriment of the consumer and
producer and to the exclusive benefit
Of the combine. Instead Of talking of
increasing the tariff on such articles
all import duty should at once be re-
moved from every article made by
"com bines" 1t is true the laws Of
most states are opposed to these COM
binations but it is easy to ''get
around the law, and then the tax
payers are assessed to increase the al
ready exorbitant profits of the COM
bine.-Engineering and Mining Jour-
