BARRE'S NEW
NATIONAL
Who the IncorporatorS
Are
AND WHAT THEY PROPOSE
Believe If Rutland Has -Four and
Montpelier Two There is Room
For Two in Barre.

A despatch from Washington in yester-
days Times stated permit had been
granted certain Barre business men to
organize a new National bank for this city,
to be known as the Peoples National
bank. This despatch named only por-
ti0n Of the inc0rporators, who are c. w.
Melcher, S. D. Allen, G. w. AveriIl, w.
ID. Smith, r. d. Ladd, +. N. Braley. A.
j. Young, L. J Bolster and Ira e. Calef.
These gentlemen believe there is ample
room for a second National bank in Barre
and are ready to put their money into it.
They claim that If Rutland can support
four national banks and Montpelier two.
Barre certainly ought to possess two, and
on this reasoning are going ahead and re-
ceiying subscriptions for the stock
A large amount OF the
Sl00,009 capital stock has already been
spoken for and it is believed the whole
issue win be readily placed.
The promoters claim that If they had
mot undertaken the establishment ofa new
National bank In Barre, outsiders were
ready to step In to start bank, and they
believe 1t is better to keep the business
here at home. They have had offers for
large blocks Of stock from outsiders but
wish to distribute it among local business
men,
The promoters have options on several
places for bank offices, all centrally loeat.
ed, but the matter Of location will not be
determined until later.
Subscriptions for stock viii be received

Averill. Information and application
blanks may be obtained Of any OF the in
corporators

Labor on Smiths Plant at westerly. 4 T.,
Suspended
Westerly, r. +, July l4--In the matter
Of non-union help on the smith granite
shed, the Granite Cutters union brought
the matter to the attention Of the COM
pany, saying that ii considered that It had
a grievance; and the question was referred
to the directors Of the company Yester-
day the directors met, and a conference
was held with the contractor, who de-
clared that he did not desire to cause any
trouble. Therefore he would assume the
whole responsibility, and if the company
could get along without the shed he had
other work at which he could place his
men. This seemed to be agreeable all
around, SO tonight work will be suspended
on the shed, and sometime ii the future
when the clouds have rolled by, it may be
resumed. But for the present there will
be no work and consequently no new
shed.

SOLD AWAY LAND FOR Sl2.
And Mr.. Holden's Neighbors Thought He
Had Made a Good Trade.

Had Made a Good Trade.
Ira Holden. father Of W. w. Holden Of
Mortified, was for many years owner Of
80 acres Of land In what Is now the best
quarry land in Barre and from which
thousands Of dollars worth Of granite has
been taken and distributed over the coun-
try during the past decade, making that
town the most famous granite center and
adding millions to the wealth Of Vermont,
says the Northfeld News The land was
used for pasturage but It required pretty
sharp nosed animal to pick out blade Of
grass between the rocks.
A matter Of 35 years ago Mr.. Holden
signed a note with party and as some
times happens in such case had it to pay
The party who held the note which
amounted to 5000 consented to take ip
payment the 80 acres Of pasture landNi (
Mr.. Holden and his neighb0rs considered
that he had "got out Of the note serape'
fairly well in disposing Of the land for Sl2
per acre.
In this connection 1t may be remarked
that less than 25 years ago there was
class of people in Barre who sat on the
grocery store steps in that little village
shiyered when they heard that somebody
had invested good dollar in the infant
granite industry and relieved themselves
Of all responsibility in the matter by pro-
claiming that the granite business would
never amount to anything, and incidently
thanking the Lord that they knew enough
to keep their money out Of such foolish
ness and put it into chewing tobacco.
The Northfeld slate industry is getting
much the same kind of encouragement
from small class Of citizens, although
the ranks are thin. It is only aquestlon
Of short time when this thing will come
to an abrupt end in Northfeld, as it did in
Barre years ago.

the stamp to the envelope is perhaps
the greatest nuisance connected with

is still considerably more the rule than
