ristown, and lived in Wolcott, before
following Horace Greeley's advice to
go west. Here's the item -"Judge
Talcott and wife returned Friday
from several days visit to their rela-
tives in Chicago-children, grand
children, sister-in-law, nephews, nieces
and cousins. Mrs Talcott's own
cousin. Judge c. D. F. Smith, former
ly of Vermont, whom she had not
met in the last foIty-tive years, being

pleasant trip and visit in every place"
Morrisville wants to be up and
humping for supremacy. 1t has no
time, nor should have no patience,
with bvgones. 1t is a Mckinley
Roosevelt aye, pregnant with thrift
and enterprise, forward movement,
no time to devote to those selfish in
requests. Lay them away on the
back shelf. Lamoille county is great
er than any of itsindividual members
or those asking for place, or trans,
ferring it elsewhere to carry out a
whim to spite somebody. This sort
of procedure does not pay in the long
run, either to the county or individ-
ual, and the man or men doing it
may see the mistake about as readily
as those not so interested. 1t
should be Lamoille county, first,
last aud all the time a good plat
form to stand upon.
