George McAllister and J. V. Brown
are securing signatures to a petition
to have a rural mail delivery route
established in Stowe. There is, of
course, not the slightest question
about the necessary number of names
being secured and Stowe would ap-
pear to be a most feasible locality for
such a service.
A p~ostofice has been established
on Mt. Mansfield with W. M. Adams
as postmaster. Contrary to expecta-
tions the mail will be made up at the
Stowe Office instead of upon the train
and nc regular time for carrying the
mail to and from the mountain has
been designated but the frequency of
the trips is left to the discretion of

rection made in the report of his
marriage which appeared in the News
AND CITIZEN a few weeks since. Not
but what Curtis is married, and happi-
~ married, but he allows that his

Downer, although frequently called
by the former name through his hav-
ing lived with his grandfather Sui
ham.
Laden with large diviningrod and
a small pick, as we'll as with sundry
other necessary articles, the board Of
water commissioners started out
upon a tour of exploration yesterday
morning. The village is surrounded
by so many springs and combinations
of springs and by so many excellent
spots for reservoirs, that an ade-
quate water supply would seem to be
merely a matter of selection.
II. G. Thomas, acting for Hon.
Healey Akeley of Minneapolis, pur-
chased the DR.. Bingham house and
the adjoining building owned the by
John Smith estate and at present oc-
cupied by G. D. Gibbs as a barber
shop. This secures for the memorial
building u of the best sites in the
village, centerly located on the west
side of Main street. Mr.. Thomas ex-
poets in a few days to begin the work
of removing the two old buildings
and to have the first story of the me-
mortal hall completed this fall.
Donald Mcmahon and Gale Shaw
caused their respective families an
anxious hour Monday. The little
fellows, who are inseparable play
mates, did not show up for dinner
and an active search was at once
made for them. When found at
about one O'Clock they were on the
river bank some miles from the viii
lage; stripped and prepared to go in
bathing. AS the pair have reached
the mature age of five years and
were close by a deep hole the result
of a few moments delay may be
imagined.
