Louis C. Strong left town this
morning for New York city to ar
range for his winters work. He is
uncertain where he will go, but has
some expectations of following the
same business now in-selling cash
registers-in the South.
The I.amoille county bar has
twenty members. The Oldest is Ashael
NJ. Burke of Morrisville, the youngest
F. g. Bicknell of Johnson. OF the
twenty members, only about half are
in active practice and half of that
number do about all the business.
The bill laying a tax on Lamoille
county has been signed by the
Governor. The tax is 4 per cent,
and will raise about 5000. This
amount is to be used in completing
repairs upon the county buildings.
This sum will put them in good
shape
Charles Cooper, an old-time hide
house employe, has returned here and
will spend the winter in this place.
He still keeps up his oceanic voyages,
going frequently to England from
Montreal. Last year be made a trip
to CapetOwn, Africa, going over with
a load of horses.
Wednesday and Thursday are poul-
try days this week. There appears
to be large amount of poultry in
the country and this with the mild
weather causes low prices to prevail.
The dealers are paying 10c on an
average for chickens and 15c for tur-
keys. Some farmers will ship direct,
thinking they can do better. Gener-
ally, however, the dealers pay all the
market affords.

R. W. Huburd was one of the
speakers at the banquet of the Fish
and Game League at Montpelier last
week. He said thatloyal Vermonters
have come to have a proud regard
for the league, as it is one of those
organizations in which denomina-
tional and political lines were set
aside. He believed that the state
should always keep Vermont as Yer
mont. 1t costs something to keep
up a good thing and Vermont's
beauty should be preserved. There
are those who oppose the paying of
money by the state for the preserva-
tion of it's beauties and game on the
ground that posterity has never
done anything for them and that for
, that reason they don't want to do
J anything for posterity. He believed
, if he scratched the backs of such
people long enough he would strike
, bristles.
The School Directors have decided
that tie teachers throughout town,
who have taught the fall term, are
: not entitled to pay for Monday, Sept.
| 81, which was Labor day." The
: ground taken by the board is that
the teachers were hired to commence
? Tuesday, Sep. 4 and because Labor
: day" came before that no pay should
be demanded. The teachers, or some
of them, say that had not Labor
day" come on the date it did, schools
would have commenced Monday and
that because that day is holiday
they should have a full weeks pay.
The three teamsteTs who carried
scholars through the term also asked
pay for that day but they didn't get
it. We believe the board intends to
do right both by teachers and the
town and looking at it from their
standpoint, they have acted right.
