Fairfax's New Academy.

Smith & Walker, architects of Mont
'pelier, are preparing plans for the
new building of the Bellows Free
Academy at Fairfax This academy
starts off with the largest endowment
of any educational institution in Yer
mont outside of Middlebury college
and U. V. M. Twenty-four years
ago a Fairfax man named Bellows
left $4,000 to the town to found
an academy when this sum should
have reached $250,O00. This money
was invested in Chicago and Rock
Island stock then selling very low, but
which has had a phenomenal rise in
the last few years. The stock was
closed out in the neighborhood of S170,
although it is now selling at about
$3.50 a share. The income was in
vested from year to year in Rock
Island when prices were down, so that
the wise trustees in a score of years
increased the original subscription 10
fold, From $4,000 to $4,000 will be
spent on buildings and the rest, which
is now in cash, amounting to 5000, 900,
will endow the Academy.7-[The Argus.
