1t is good news for Reformer read

richness of mind and catholicity of
taste and high ideals OF lie, some OF
the most brilliant newspaper work ever
done in New England was done by her
in those days and it gave thu Reformer
literary reputation beyond that ever
held by any other Vermont paper. And
not merely in literary work was she
strong hut also in political and local
matters, as evidenced by her "Fall of
the Politicians" a parody OF Bryant at
ter DR. Conland's election over Col Hook
err in "a. 1.-The Massachusetts, Mari
anas," parodying Tennyson after But
ler's election, Lament of the Republic
can Party" parody of backward Turn
Backward" after the campaign OF 81 ard
by her "Famous Victory" after one
of our hardest local fights in the late
Selectmau Herrick's time. The touch
of her fertile genius NAV be expected 10
every column of the Reformer. lt is
also arranged that for the present, while
he remains here to close up his business
affairs. and while engaged in other lit
erary work, Mr. Davenport will continue
to contribute editorial writing to the pa
