Attorney F. G. Bicknell of johnson
transacted business here Monday.

Town Clerk and Treasurer and per-
forms his duties in very satisfactory

The late H. NJ. Noyes carried
$4,000 life insurance policy in the
Vermont National. The same day

The Standard oil truck turned too
far out of the road last Saturday in
coming up Depot Hill and as a result
the nigh wheels sank into the soft
dirt up to their axles. The combined
efforts of men and horses could not
extrcate it and SO the truck was left
there until Monday, and it is still
there.
Judge White has had an invitation
to spend Thanksgiving up at Geo.
Sargent's, and to Georges surprise
he has accepted the same. Now,
George is ordinarily a good provider,
but the Judge is a little fearful that
the provender will not hold out, as
lot more besides himself and wife
have been invited; and so to make
sure of being let in, he has purchased
a gallon Of oysters, two turkeys, four
boxes of crackers and 'some other
fixins" to go with them. Thus armed
and equipped the Judge expects to
gain admission. We are quite sure
the "Other txins" will let him in
without turkeys, etc. Probate Court
will not be in session tomorrow and
may not be the next day. 1t all de-
pends upon the result of the "other
ixins."
Last Saturday Geo. Seymour drove
to the village and as is his custom
put his team under the Strong &
Foss shed. About Z o'clock he went
out to the team and found bis robe
missing. 1t is very easy to identify
this robe as it is an elk skin and was
tanned by Perroth, of whom Sey-
mour obtained it. George started on
tour of investigation and found the
robe in Lon Wheeler's sleigh at the
livery. Lon, on being interrOgated,
denied all knowledge of how the robe
got there; he didn't know anything
about tin fact, he was in such a
condition that he didn't know much
. about himself Complaint was made
and Lon arrested by Sheriff Robbins.
He was bailed and on Monday was
arraigned before Squire Wiswell, and
the trial resulted in his being fined
$15 and costs, amour ting to $2S 60.
States Attorney Cheney did the
business for the State and r. ". Hull
burd for Wheeler.
Geo. Parker, Jr., whose illness has
been noted in this paper from time
to time. died Tuesday morning at
9.15. For several weeks it has been
evident that he could not recover,
and when his death was announced
it created no surprise. George was
taken sick last April with a lung
trouble and all that medical skill
could do was of no avail. He went
to Burlington and remained several
weeks at the Mary Fletcher hospital,
coming home, it was thought slightly
improved. He soon after grew worse,
failing gradually. On Tuesday morn
ing he fully realized his end was near.
At his request he was baptized and
calling his friends around him, bade
all an affectionate and tender good
bye. He requested that everybody
be thanked for their kindness to him
in his long illness, and with love for
all, he peacefully passed awav. Geo.
Parker, Jr., was born in Johnson
March /, 1879, and when a little
child came here with his parents,
where he has ever since resided. He
attended school here and for a con-
siderable time was an employe at the
hide house. He was a good hearted
boy and leaves many friends who will
mourn his loss. Besides his parents,
