A studio or photograph gallery is al
WAYS an attractive place, but it is rarely
in a country town the size OF Island
Pond that we find one so especially at
tractive as the studio and gallery of
Oscar T. Davis. Mr.. Davis commenced
his work in this line in 1894, his outfit
at that time costing him just 81. By
close application to business, an unliml-
ted amount of energy and enterprise,
coupled with ability and a liking for the
work he has succeeded in building up
large and constantly increasing business.
His premises on Derby street are commo-
dious and we'll arranged throughout,
the gallery being extra well lighted. The
best apparatus for his work is none too
good for him, and he keeps himself fully
posted as to new methods and ideas adj
vanced in the art of photography. He
takes portraits any size ranging from
Ike inches to 12hx15 and he has a
flash light apparatus for taking room
and hall pictures. His outfit tor por-
trait, view and picture work cost close
on to $500. His view work too is in
large demand, and he carries in stock in
addition to the great variety OF views OF
Island Pond and immediate vicinity a
splendid line of pictures, large assort-
ment of moulding, from which he makes
frames to order, and he also manutac.
lures picture mats. He will make a
speciality of calendar work for the holi.
day season. He extends to one and all a
hearty invitation to visit his gallery.

PRESENTATION
to Deputy Collector John w. Thurston.

10 Dtputf UOnh ="
Last week Thursday evening John w.
Thurston and wife gave a supper at the
Stewart House to the customs officers
who had been associated with Mr..
Thurston during his term as deputy col
lector in charge of the port of Island
Pond. The table was most tastefully
adorned with smilax and cut flowers and
beside each plate, prepared tor the lapel
of the coat, was bunch of pinks, smiax
and maiden hair fern. Those who par
took of the bounteous repast as the
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Thurston were
Messrs. {. A. Bancroft, Louis Follett, H..
E. Randall, w. F. Stolte, Z. A. Holton.
John Conway, NJ. J. Daley, H. b. Farmer
and Porter H. Dale, and at its conclu-
sion Mr.. Dale, at the request and in be-
half of the assembled officers, presented
Mr.. Thurston with a gold chain and
Knight Templar emblem as a token of
the affection and respect which he had
won from his associates. Mr.. Dale al
luded to the qualities in Mr.. Thurston's
character which it appeared to him had
developed this strong attachment of the
officers, and among other things said
that while he knew not the motive hich
led to the selection of the chain and en-
blem, he thought the chain an appropri-
ate suggestion of the golden opinions
you have won from all sorts of men"
and as for the emblem, not being con-
nected with the order he knew not all it
meant, but he was certain that it might
recall the fact that while we are told
that in the olden times princes created
the belted knight, in these days the true
man is the builder of his own character
"always assisted when formed of certain
clements which are yours,-as you have
been, sir,-by his wife; and while the
emblem is that of an ancient order fmen
it may we'll recall the fact that as true
knighthood between man and man exists
today as ever, the spirit Of which moved
to this little assembly. This chain will
hold your watch, but none was ever
welded strong enough to cheek the swift
flight of time, and as one by one the
hours shall pass across the dial without
effacement may they touch as gently the
recollection of all the good that has come
from the associations represented here
and may al! your future life be filled with
the satisfaction that comes from
Honor and reverence, and the first repute
That are of faithful services the fruit.
After an appreciative response from MIR
Thurston, in which he spoke feelingly o
the happy and harmonious relations
that had ever existed between him ant
his officers, the guests were invited to the
rooms of their host and there they passeC
a social hour.
1t must be very gratifying when meet
ing this change, which in the natura
order of things comes to one in Mr.
| Thurston's position, to realize, as h'
must, that he retires from his duties &C
coinpanied by so earnest a commenda
ton from his associates and the public
for his courteous and genial treatmen
of all classes and the pleasant and eff
Gent manner in which he has conducted
the office.

Pomeroy & Robinson's store was bur
Glarized last Monday night. The money
drawer was forced from which only some
small change was obtained, less than
dollar. A few pipes, some cigars and
confectionery were also stolen. 1t was
evidently the work of boy or boys, for
a small hammer was used in an effort to
open the safe, and failing in this the
knobs on the door hinges were taken off
in the hope that the safe could be got at
in this way. Entrance was made by re-
moving two lights of glass 10x14 in the
back store window.

To the Editor of the HERALD:

Through the generous hospitality Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Porter H. Dale everyone in
town had the privilege of meeting the
governor of our state-a good honora-
BILE man of whom Vermont may well be
proud, and to whom each school boy
who shouted so heartily during the sa-
lutte "Hurrah for Gov. Grout" may safely
look up as their ideal man. The town is
indeed greatly indebted to Mr.. and Mrs.
Dale for opening their home to our citi-
zens to meet their honored guests. 1t did
our townspeople much good to feel that
they were indeed part of our good
governors people. We are glad to have
met Grow. Grout and party, and are also
proud that our town has been honored
through the courtesy OF Col. and Mrs,
Dale of meeting them. A RESIDENT,

The pole supporting the sign railroad
crossing" near the engine house was
newly painted one day last week, the
upper portion white and the lower por-

reason or other were seized with an un.
comfortable desire to use the pole as a
temporary resting place with the result
that they had paint stained clothes. In
cidentaly some very liberal profanity
was INDUCED in.

TRACKS no BE CONNECTED.

Within the next few days it is more
than likely that the Wheeling street
car line and the MOundsville company
will be connected at BenwOOd Per-
mission has been asked of the Ben
wood Council to grant the lower line
the right 10 make the connection, and
the matter has been referred to the
proper committee. Both roads, are
anxious for the joining of the rails,
and il everything is satisfactory cars
will be run through without change,
and the patrons of the lower line viii
be given much better service. The
managers of the road want everything
ready before camp meeting, if possible.
On the MOundsville line Sunday a big
business was done. One car down in
the morning had 240 fares rung up,
and she had about all the people on
board that could be handled. Az day
long large crowds patrOnized the cars,
and in the evening every car was
simply crowded by people returning
from the camp grounds. The road is
in a fOurishing condition, and Recsiv-
er Howard Hazlett has the thanks Of
the public for the efficient service he
has given them. In the "NarrOws,"
above Glendale, ne has a force of men
at work doing considerable ditching.
and at MOundsville two safety switches
are to he placed in position next week.
The new well at the power house will
soon be completed and the company
will then have a fine supply Of water
Taken altogether the line is making
money and is one that the citizens of
MOundsville and BenwOOd feel proud
