A Loyal and Enthusiastic Vermonter.

Mr.. Kimball is legal resident Of YER
mont, citizen, voter and taxpayer in this
state. He owns residence in Randolph
and occupies it with his family the major
part Of the year. He is not merely a sum
mer resident, but loyal and enthusiastic
Vermonter. He was born in Randolph
and lived in the state until after he attained
his majority and cast his first vote here
For 80 years he has maintained home in
his native town. The people who are quite
familiar with all the circumstances have ex-
pressed their appreciation of his good citi-
zenship in many ways. His business inter-
ests are mostly in New York city, but he is
closely identified with the state that ac-
knowledges him as a citizen, always an
active leader in any home enterprise and
his labor and means are ever at the service
of anything that promises to promote Yer
mont. This explanation is not necessary
except to those who might be prejudiced
by misrepresentation. He was elected an
alternate to the Minneapolis convention.
AS delegate he will worthily represent
the republicans of Vermont at St. Louis
next June.-Randolph Herald and News.

candy, and Mrs. A. P. Joubert and Mrs.
S. F. Hutchins ran an apron booth. H. G..

that people forgot that the mercury was
playing about zero, and actually bought of
his wares. Late in the evening Capt. w.
H. Taylor auctioned off large part of
what had not been sold in the natural course
of trade.
The ladies realized about 800 from the
supper and sale.
