Lamoille Central Academy.

Lamoille Central Academy was
established under favorable aus
pices in 1857, with Hon. H. Hor-
ace Powers as its first principal.
The school was well sustained
and popular for a time, but dur
ing the war and for a time after
wards, did not maintain its early
prestige. 1t was conducted on
the former lines of academy work,
without definite courses of study
a more flexible, but less com
plete system than the graded
system that now obtains.
1t has been a powerful educa-
tional lever, lifting the town
schools upon a higher plane,
more so at this time than ever
before. 1t is now conducted as
agraded and town central school,
affording advanced instruction
without tuition to any pupil in
town.
Among its former teachers who
have become prominent in other
walks of life, we may mention
Hon. H. H, Powers, Hollis Viii.
son, Esq, H. M. Mcfarland,
Esq, R. W. Hulburd, Esq, ]. w.

Oddfellowship.

This fraternal order has a foot
hold in Hyde Park. May 81,
1890, Sterling Lodge, No. a.,
was instituted with II charter
members. Prosperity has been
the fortune of the lodge from the
start. Beginning with nothing,
it's making or unmaking has
been wholly in the hands of its
membership. Slowly but strong
ly and we'll have been laid it's
foundations. The spirit of true
brotherly love has ever prevailed,
with the result that there has
been upbuilt here in Hyde Park a
lodge of this noble order that is
conceded to rank among the first
in the state. The lodge now has
a membership of upwards of 80,
gathered from among the best
men throughout the county. 1t
has a lodge room we'll furnished
and equipped in postoffice build
ing and a good balance in the
bank. The lodge is a credit not
only to it's membership and the
village of its location but to the
order.
H. M. Mcfarland, the present
Grand Master of the order in the
state, was the first Noble Grand
of the lodge. The following sue
ceeded him in that office: L. H.
Lewis, S. B. Waite, r. w. Hui
burd, E. c. White, F. c. Taylor
and F. H. Mcfarland, the present
efficient head of the lodge.

an unparalleled record for a small
town, and which shows the in
fuence of the local academy.
The present building is made
quate to the needs of the school
in its present hourishing condi-
ton, with more than 100 pupils.
The town has voted to erect a
new five room school building,
with a capacity of 200 students,
a wise provision for future
growth. The building is now
being erected and will be a
very fine one, with an ample
campus of three or four acres,

Green Mountains; a local social
life unusually charming and bril-
liant; all of these advantages
are enhanced and made availa-
bic to the tourist and the COM
mercial traveller by strictly
first-class hotel.
Hotel Phoenix was built in
1891 by a stock company, of
which ex-Gov. Page is President,
at an expense of about $4,000,
and is a credit to it's builders
and the town. 1t has a frontage
of rs feet and is a model of
architecture. The interior is con-
veniently arranged and complete
in every appointment. The house
is heated throughout with steam
and the coy fireplace in the
office throws off a cheerful glow.
An abundant supply of cold
spring water, electric lights, call
bells, hot and cold baths, well
furnished and pleasant rooms for
the accommodation of fifty
guests, are provided. A fine bill
lard hall is found on the lower
floor, with a large and attractive
dancing hall on the second floor.
A frst-class barber shop and
good livery are connected.
The dining-room is large, coy
and well lighted, and the table
service is unsurpassed. After ten
years on the road, Fred Keller
thinks he knows how to put up
a menu suited to the gastronom-
ical apparatus of the commercial
traveller, and his patronage con-
firms it. Both dailies and mag
azines, the leading periodicals,
are found in the reading room
and parlors. The humblest trav-
eller is received and entertained
with that kindly courtesy so nat
ural to Mr.. Keller, and every
want of the guests is promptly
anticipated and supplied. Of

ship by initiation. While there
is not at this early day as much
to be said of this branch of the
order in Hyde Park as of the sub
ordinate lodge, yet it can be said
to be in equally as good hands
and to give present promise of
equally as good work and results
along the line of fraternal adj
vancement, sin case of its fellow
worker. the subordinate lodge.
Mrs. F. N. Keller and Mrs. E. c.
White are respectively the present
Noble Grand and Vice Grand of
the lodge.
The village may well congrat-
ulate itself on having within
it's limits two such fourishing
lodges. They have already be-
come large social factor in the
village life, besides being, as odd
fellowship essentially is, a living
exponent of that practical phi
lanthophy so well exemplified in
the story of the Good Samaritan
of old.

Hotel Phoenix.

Not the least of the many adj
vantages of the village and town
of Hyde Park, is the possession
of an elegant, commodious, we'll
kept hotel. A good hotel en-
phasizes and gives full effect to
many other local attractions,
among which we may mention
the semi-annual sessions of the
county court; almost an ideal
sanitary condition and environ
ment; an elevated and slightly To-

Brass Band.

"Plucky Lamoille," though
one of the smallest of the coun-
ties, probably leads all others in
the number and efficiency of it's
bands. The time has been
when eight of the ten towns had
we'll organized and excellent
bands, and there are nearly that
number at present.
The Hyde Park Band was or
ganized about fifteen years ago
and has probably maintained
the longest continuous existence
of any band in the county, and
has always been recognized as
one of the best. At present it
consists of fifteen pieces, most OF
which are owned by the men,
bers. They occasionally give an
outdoor concert,

The surplus musical talent of
Hyde Park has recently expressed
itself in the organization of

the infant" musical aggrega-
ton of the place, has on its
several public appearances rem
dered music that has won it well
merited praise.

Orchestra.

One of the most important fac
tors in the social life of a country
village, is a well organized or
chestra. Fine music lends a pres
tige and charm to social and
public occasions, and is indis-
pensible to the highest success.
In 1891 the Hyde Park Orches-
ira was organized with five
pieces, and DR.. Genge as leader,
and it soon became evident that
there was plenty of latent
musical talent in Hyde Park.
Regular and systematic practice
soon resulted in good execution,
and the orchestra now contains
II pieces, viz: Two first violins,
second violin, viola, violin cello,
double base, flute, cornet, from
bone, drums and piano.
This orchestra has furnished
music free to all public entertain
ments, and it is highly apprecia-
ted by the citizens of the town.

blyis second to no other amateur
orchestra in the state. Member

LamoiIIe County National Bank.

The Lamoille County National
Bank has been a potential factor
in the upbuilding of this town
and section. 1t was originally
established as a state bank in
1855, and was chartered as a
national bank under its present
name in 1865 with Lucius H.
Noyes as its first president, and
c. S. Noyes as the first cashier.
During its entire history some
member of the Noyes family has
been intimately associated with
the management of this bank.
The first board of directors
was L. H. Noyes, Geo. Wilkins,
Samuel Merriam, Horace Powers,
c. c. Chadwick, Amasa Paine
and Orlo Cady.
Upon there-organization of the
bank in 1865, c. S. Moves be-
came president and A. L. Moves
cashier. Ex-Gov. Carroll S. Page
became president in 1892 on the
resignation of c. S. Noyes, and
H. M. Mcfarland vice-president.
positions which they now re-
spectively fill. E. L. Noyes is the
present cashier. The board of
directors are Geo. Wilkins of
Stowe, c. S. Page and H. M. Nc
Farland of Hyde Park, l. L.
Pearl of Johnson, H. F. Brigham
of Bakersfield, c. w. Bryant of
Westfeld.
The bank has a capital of
100000 and the surplus and
undivided profits amount to up
wards of $4,000. The deposits
will average about $4,000.
1t transacts a general banking
business, receiving upon usual
terms the accounts of banks, cor
porations, companies and indi-
viduals, and extending to Gus
toners every facility compatible
with the principles of safe bank
ing. Collections are made
promptly and at low rates, and
remittance made on day of pay
ment.
The principal correspondents
of the bank are the Continental
National of New York, and the
Hide and Leather National of
Boston.
During the panics of 1898 and
1896 no customer of the bank
presenting approved paper for
discount was refused a loan at
six per cent. interest though
money in the cities if obtainable
at all was commanding eight and
ten per cent. The policy of the
bank in thus endeavoring to
take care of its patrons when
money is not easily obtainable is
based upon the belief that a bank
owes it to the community in
which it is located to see that
the legitimate interests of the
people are not only fostered in
times of prosperity to the profit
of the bank but protected in
times of adversely though it be
to the banks loss. This course,
pursued for years, has been the
means of doing the people of
Lamoille county and vicinity
much financial good, which is APP
preciated as shown by the high
favor in which the bank and its
management are held.

Electric Light Plant.

Hyde Park was incorporated
as a village in the spring of 1895.
The first Board of Trustees was
made up as follows: H. M. Nc
Farland, E. c. White, Col. E. B.
Sawyer, F. r. Child and P. 7.
DEMO. This board was reelected
to serve a second year. The
most important work effected by
the Trustees was the installation
of an electric light and power
system for the village.
The Trustees wisely determined
to make ample provision for flu
ture as well as present wants of
the village, having in view man
ufacturing as we'll as lighting.
They accordingly purchased a
farm some three miles from the
village on which was a good
water privilege on the Gihon.
The buildings and dam were built
by contract, the work being COM
pleted about December 1, 1895,
the entire plant costing $4,000.
The dam is of solid masonry, 20 |
feet wide on the bottom and
seven feet on top, with a height |
of % feet, and with stone abut-
ments that confne the stream to
an average width of 40 feet. By
the use of horizontal twin wheels
made by w. c. Laffel & Co., and
with a rs K. w. dynamo, a 100
horse power is developed. This |
power could be nearly doubled
by raising the head some five feet
by an inexpensive wood dam be-
tween the abutments. The dyna-
mo used is a Westinghouse 1900
light, two-phase machine. From
this machine both power and
lights are taken. There are now
about 1900 lights on the COM
mercial circuit with a prospect of
1900 at an early day. The
streets are lighted by "a 32-can-
die power lamps. These are
placed on poles 100 feet apart on
Main Street and 1875 on side
streets, giving the best lighted
streets to be found in northern
Vermont. The plant as a whole
is pronounced by experts to be
among the best in New England.
The price charged for lighting,
one-third of a cent per hour per
single light, with a minimum
of $14 per year, is exceptionally
low, but will pay the interest on
the Indebtedness and gradually
extinguish the principal.
Another water power equally
as good is owned by the village
and may be developed a few rods
below the location of the present
plant. Though Hyde Park village
is located on a hill, her enterprise
has turned the waters of the
Gihon her way and compelled
those waters, though three miles
away, to light her streets and her
houses and turn her wheels of in
dustry on their onward course
toward the ocean. Manufacture
ers are cordially invited to look
over the facilities now offered by
Hyde Park in the way of location
for manufacturing industries and
power for operating same, before
locating elsewhere.
The Trustees propose to fur
nish mechanical power as need
ed at a nominal cost. There
have already been put in, mo-
tors amounting to twenty-five
horse power, by ex-Gov. Page,
P. T. DEMO and the Lamoille
Publishing Company, and DR..
Slayton uses it in his office for
the double purpose of lighting
and heating. This is believed to
be the first use of electricity in
this statefor heating. The village
is to be congratulated upon the
successful consumation of this
important public enterprise by
their Trustees.
