The way the timbers flew from the hotel
porch last Wednesday morning gave the
appearance of a cyclone having struck 1t.
But if the old porch went down quickly,
new and ampIer one has risen to take its
Mace. This is another stage in the re-
pairing and improvement of the hotel
which is in progress this summer. When
all the repairs are complete, it will be as
elegant a country hotel as is to be found
in the county. By the way, we notice that
it is popular place already, judging from
the number of transients that stop there
every day, to say nothing of regular
boarders.

Why should not Crafts bury observe ''Old
Home Week?'' The idea is that all the
absent members of families and all the
native sons and daughters and former res
idents of the town should be invited to a
grand reunion. The legislature of Yer
mont has set apart for this purpose the
week beginning Aug. II. Features of the
week would be family reunions and greet
ings, public receptions, old folks dinners
and concerts, a grand town picnic, and
especially on Friday, Aug. Is, Benning-
ton Battle Day, suitab BILE military and pat
riotic exercises, the speeches to be by dis
tinguished sons of Craftsbury. Such an
observance of the week would strengthen
ties of kindred and friendship and pro-
mote public spirit.
