Col. John Hunt, pension attorney of
Brattleboro, made a professional visit to
town last week. Col. Hunt has been sue
cessful in his work, which may be attrib-

limited number of clientsf with most of
whom he is acquainted and able to visit, he
can present their existing condition more
expeditiously and accurately than can an
agent 500 miles away with large number
of clients who are strangers to him.
