JohnSbury were III town Tuesday on
their way home from an extended
carriage trip through three or four of
Vermont's best counties. Mr.. Luce
and wife are natives of this county:
went from Stowe over TO East st.
Johnsbury about a dozen years ago
and on July % last, started out on
n visiting trip. They hitched I'D the

miles. Mr.. Luce says it has been one
of the pleasantest trips he has ever
