The old red school house among the
green hills of Vermont has gathered
about it delightful associations and fond
recollections which Old Home Week
promises to develop most pleasantly.
Many of Vermonts most distinguished
sons received their early education in the
district school, while many others taught
school and "boarded round" curing their
younger days. One of the most pleasant
features of Old Home Week will be the
meeting of those who attended these dis
trict schools. There will come fresh to
mind the walk to the school house, and
the noon time experience eating the din
ner under tho old tree, long since re-
moved and the thought that one may sit
once more in the old desks with others
who sat there fifty years ago will arouse
an interest in coming that has never
been experienced.
The people of Vermont believe that 1t.
natural attractions are not surpassed by
those Of any other section of the country.
The State possesses all the advantages
and facilities for the enjoyment of q
summer vacation offered by any other
state, Opportunities for travelling by
steam and electric railroads are all that
could be desired. Good roads extend in
all directions and the mountains and
lake resorts furnish ample ant excellent
accommodations for guests These con.
ditons make the beginning of the TWEEN,
tieth century an opportune time to hold
reunion of the sons and daughters OF Yer
mont. The week of the 10th of Angus
this year presents a special occasion whel
Vermonters residing abroad can come
back to the old home with the certaint,
of meeting many OF the friends anC
schoolmates of their early days.
The red letter day of Old Home Weel
will be Friday, August 16, This Is "Ben
nngton Battle Day." and also a lega
holiday This will be the day for th
Old Home Week exercises. In som
towns there will be parade of military
sem-mlitary and civic organizations.
The idea of Old Home Week reunion
originated in Vermont, in 1890, when tn
town of Wilmington held a successful re
union of former and present residents

Vermont has contributed so largely
from her population to the tide of emf
grafton that has flowed into other States
during the last half of the nineteenth CEN
tury as to invest the coming observance
of Old Home Week in the Green Noun
tain State with much significance and in
terest.
The migration of the native popula-
tion to the West practically began with
the coming of the railroad fifty years ago.
Since that time every decade has witness
ed thousands of sons and daughters of
the Green Mountain State following the
Star of Empire westward At the begin
ming of the twentieth century more than
100000 native vermonters are living in
other States, many of whom have never
returned to the State of their birth 9th
ers have revisited their old home among
the green hills at infrequent intervals
The inauguration of Old Home Week in
1901 presents the opportunity Of a home
coming to the sons and daughters of YER
mont which will be gladly welcomed by
all who love the land Of their childhood
days.
The love Vermonters bear their native
State, and the patriotic heritage and glor-
ious history they possess in common,
have imbued them with a spirit of loyalty
to Vermont and drawn closer the ties of
kinship and friendship between the sons
and daughters both at home and abroad.
The existence of a dozen fourishing So
cieties of native Vermonters throughout
the country is substantial evidence that
these characteristics predominant. No

Union than Vermont. They have every
where achieved fame and distinction in
public life and in tho professional and
business world.
Although time has wrought many
changes in the material world, and pro-
gress and advancement have marked the
life and conditions of the communities
that make up the State of Vermont, yet
the memories of bygone days are as green
as ever.
The grandeur of old Mansfield, Camel's
Hump Jay Peak and Killington still in
spre the souls of all who gaze upon them.
The verdant valleys, the wooded uplands
and the crystal lakes are as beautiful as
ever. The drives continue as pleasant,
and the evergreen groves have not lost
their charm. To all of these new and old
attractions of the Green Mountain State
and also to our homes and firesides, the
nonresident sons and daughters of Ver-
mont will have a genuine and hearty well
come. The attachment to the place of
ones birth and early life is never quite
obliterated, whatever may have been
persons occupation during a long life,
and however far he may have been locat-
ed from the spot where he first saw the
light of day. There is always a feeling
of regard for the old home, however hum

'Small fruits. such as Strawberries,

Anaconda, July 31.-The dog laws of

Gil to be held Monday night.
City Attorney Sawyer Is preparing an
ordinance to replace the one now in

For many months the city has been
overrun with surplus number of ca
mines, and little has been done toward an
effort to exterminate them or to place
them under such restrictions that owners
will in all cases pay license.
Several owners have paid license and
obtained tags, but there are a great

spect, knowing that the existing or
