division OF the Sixth District court.
The doNks and chairs now\be(jnging TO
the members OF the General Assembly

M. vebster Has sold His Practice and
mai Estate 90 Dr. watermsn---33
Years as a Physician In P"'ney and
BrattlebOro.
DR. ID. p. Webster, after over 80 years
continuous work as physician and sur
eeon. will retire from the practice OF medi-
Cine on Jan. |. This announcement will
he read with regret by hundreds OF people
10 whom he has been the good physician"
during his long professional career, to
whose beck and call he has been prompt TO
respond at all times and seasons, regardless
of his pesronal convenience and comfort.
The doctor has sold his practice and his
real estate to his brother-in-law, DIR. II. A.
Waterman, who has been associated with
bin since Sept. 1. DR.. Webster makes
this move against his own wish, the con-
sideratlon being his health. Eminent
specialists have advised him that 1t is I'm
peratlve that he take things easier" for
an extended period. DR.. and Mrs. Webster
will have rooms at the Elliot street house
during the winter, but their plans for the
future are not decided definitely. DR..
Webster formerly practiced extensively,
not only in Brattleboro but In the adjoin-
ing towns, but since his appointment as
postmaster three years ago ne mas cOnnueu
his practice to this village.
DR.. Webster began practice in Putney in
1867, shortly after his graduation from the
medical department of the University OF
Vermont, and when he lacked several
weeks of being 2l years old. After 1o
years of service in Putney he bought out
the practice of DIR. Gray and came to Brat
tleboro in 1888 Despite his extensive
practice DIR. Webster has taken an active
part In public affairs. He represented
Putney two terms in the legislature, was
state senator for this county in 1876, and
railroad commissioner 1878 50. He was
surgeon general on the stats of Cows
Peck and Fuller. He is a 33i degree Free
Mason and has been grand master of the
grand lodge of Vermont aud eminent com
mander Of Beauseant commandery, K. T
DIR. Webster was first selectman of Brattle
boro two or three terms, and three year
ago was appointed postmaster by Presi
dent Mckinley.
DR.. Waterman is a physician of ability
