THIS EDITOR Is A WONDER

Times. A contemporary tells in one
breath what he does. Here it is: Mr..
Nose prints twelve-page newspaper,
acts as Mayor, teaches Sundav-school
class, is leading elder as well as ianitor
Oh the Christian church, sings tenor in
the choir from choice, but falsetto when
the soprano is absent, and frequently
plays the organ. He devotes Tuesday
and part of Wednesday to soliciting ad-
Vertlsements and subscriptions. After
the canvass he splits kindling wood at
home, with needle and thread he tight
ems all his loose buttons, and often helps
to wash the dishes. On Wednesday
evening he writes his editorial articles,
clips from his exchanges, and sets the
machinery OF the Times office in motion.
On Thursday he supplies his printers
with local news and helps with the COM
position. Before he goes home he reads
and corrects all the proofs, makes out all
the bills, and makes the press ready for
the next days issue. In the evening he
studies political economy, French and
German, and writes chapter or two for
his forthcoming novel. On Friday he
turns the press, helps to fold and mail
the newspapers to regular subscribers,
and delivers them on the town route.
On Friday evening he teaches singing
class. On Saturday morning he collects
his bills. In the afternoon he plays golf.
At night he practices on the flute, sweeps
out the church, and puts it in perfect
order for Sunday mornings service. If
the regular preacher is absent on Sunday,
be leaves the choir and takes the pulpit,
and he has been known to leave the pull |
pit occasionally to take up a collection

Ninth District. He returns to Vermont
after lapse of years and his breezy west

little community in which he was horn
His manner OF administering Justice is
one OF the most unexpected incidents OF

Town Road Improvements.

This season has been a notable one in
the matter Of town road improvements,
and many changes have been made, or
are now under way, that must meet
with the approval of all who have oc-
cason to use our country roads. An
improvement that is already appreciated,
and is sure to be doubly so in the spring.
is the change on the North Danville road.
which has been wldened and raised along
the Fairbanks meadow, toward the fish
hatchery, and is now an excellent gravel
highway. The top OF the steep hill be
yond the hatchery has been lowered and
other very noticeable changes have been
made.
The proposed change on the highway
between the Works and Locke bridges
on the East Village road will be COM
pIeted this fall, thus avoiding the block,
ade Of ice that always occurs at that
point in the spring. This with the new
bridge and fill near the East St. Johns
bury cemetery will be appreciated by all
who drive in that direction.
A survey has been made for a change
in the road near St. Johnsbury Center
leading from Erastus Hallett's to the
Perley Weeks farm now owned by AL
fred J. Rloux, and the work will be COM
pleted this fall. This change necessitates
about 100 rods of new road, and was
made to avoid bad drifting place.
From the dry bridge above Fairbanks
village to the Danvlle line the highway
has been widened and improved and
now is one OF the best in town.
All st. Johnsbury people will be inter
ested i'll the change that is to be made
on the Danville road at Fairbanks VII.
lage, where, instead of following the val
ley and climbing the clay hill as at pres.
ent, the road will be changed to run up
the hill, by the Fairbanks horse barn
and along the top of the ridge to the dry
bridge. By this change the length and
grade OF the hill will be considerably
lrssened and the new road will avoid the
clay that makes the old one so disagree
able IN wet weather. 1t is expected that
the work there will be commenced at
once.
Good roads are bound to become an
important factor in the future develop
ment of Vermont and it is gratifying to
note that st. Johnsbury is making such
rapid strides in the right direction. The
seIectmen and Road Commissioner lack. !
son have devoted mu,h time, thought,
and hard work to this matter this wear
and what they have accomplished is
bound to be appreciated by all who use
our roads either for business or pleasure
driving.

Address on Missions.

Rev. DR.. Judson Smith of Boston,
senior secretary OF the American Board,
spoke at the North church Sunday morn
ing and evening His morning address
was a brief survey of what the Board
had accomplished in the 90 years of its
existence. 1t now supports 20 missions
gIrdllng the globe; occupies 1900
strategic points in all parts OF the world;
has 541 American men and women in
the field, aud employs 1888 native
preachers and teachers. There is an in
crease of $500 yearly in converts, and
the Sunday school work enrolIs 5000
scholars of all ages. The educational
work is a marked feature, and as the
teaching force increases in numbers and
efficiency it will suppant the American
missionary. The American Board sup
ports directly and indirectly 20 colleges,
II training schools and 1O2 boarding
schools. There are 10000 pupils in
these institutions and $4,000 enrolled in
the common schools.
The speaker then gave numerous Incl
dents OF the work, paying notable
tributes to the translation OF the Bible
into Zulu and the difficult Chinese Ian.
guage. OF the latter he said that no
achievement of the American Board ex.
ceeded it in Importance.
As missions grow, he said, additional
burdens are laid upon the Christians.
They faced debt o $50 00Oand raised
1t at the Hartford meeting, thus begin
ming the new year Tree from debt. We
can have no part in this great work ex-
cept by our prayers, or gifts and the
sending of our beloved as missionaries
We must see to it that these agencies
must be supplied. God asks that we fail
not in this hour of opportunity and need.
