The above map has been carefully
compiled from United States documents

million people are personally interest

II should be explained that not all Of
the letters were unprintable. Some

one Of the victims Is Mayor Carter

The village trustees have decided to
macadamize Main street from Church
street to Arnold Park and will begin
about the middle of May. The street
will be further improved by having a
grass plot on each side of the street and
the street department has already been
getting ready for this by making clay
foundation on each side of the street,
After the grass has been started it has

The gentleman whose portrait appears
above is no stranger to many of our
readers as he lives in East Burke and
has for several years been engaged in
Journalistic work. Last fall Mr.. Jeffrey
issued sumptuously illustrated book
on the 1902 Legislature and it was so
well received that he now plans to pub
llsh a biography of the successful YER
monters in the three Northeastern coun-
ties, Caledonia, Essex and Orleans. The
book Will be issued in the fall, but ex.
perlenced journalists will begin at once
to canvass for the material. The book
will be an accurate biography OF the men
who have been successful in their callings
and cannot fail to be a valuable contri-
button to the biographical literature of
the state. The book will be attractivtly
bound in rich silk cloth with gold side
and back stamp and gilt top. 1t will be
profusely illustrated with halt .one por-
traits and printed on good paper in good
type. '''
The three counties will be carefully can
vassed and representative successful men
will be invited to furnish biographies for
the book. This naturally assumes that
only those who have taken foremost
part in the building, developing and gov
erning of this section of our state will be
accepted. Surely no richer field ofmater-
ial could be selected in Vermont than the
three counties named and it is equally
certain that there is no person among us
better able to handle this difficult task
than Mr.. Jeffrey. An able staff of repre-
sentatives will call upon those selected
for representation in the publication at
an early date.
Every encouragement should be given
to the publication OF books OF this char
acter, for the glory of our state centers
in and is +, hected from the men and wo-
men, whose history should be familiar to
all who, by birth or association, are in
terested in her fame and welfare, and es
peclally to those in whose hands rests
her future, and who may need the
strengthening influence of their example.
10 this end the proposed volume will
materially contribute. The expense of
the volume will be very moderate, vile
everything that enters into its manufac.
ture will be of the very best.
