After being in temporary quarters
for six months the Vermont Savings
bank on Monday began doing business
in its old banking rooms which have
been thoroughly remodeled and refur-
nished, giving the, bank home which
is equal to that Of any institution in
the state The wood work of the main
room is finished in dull oak while the
walls are covered with terra Gotta bur-
lap. The large counter which extends
from the entrance nearly to the vault
is of handsome design containing two
carved panels in front. Above this
counter extends an elaborate grating
in which are two windows for deposits
and Withdrawals The inside furnish
ings of the main room consist of desks
for the treasurer and assistant treas
urer and large book desk extending
the length of the room. At the rear
facing the large plate glass window in
front is a new Mosler vault of the lat
est pattern. Inside the vault are file
racks and book shelves and there is
also a small safe in which securities
are kept The outside of the vault is
handsomely finished in silver and ma
room. The floor on the outside of the
counter is of mosaic work. The cell
ing is of steel painted white. In the
rear of the counting room is a hand
somely furnished directors room. The
wood work is of darker oak and the
walls are hung with burlap painted
light brown. In the center of the
room is heavy oak table surrounded
by chairs of the same finish. The dec
Grating in the bank was done by W. A.
Morse of Brattleboro and the wood
work was put in by Mellish & Byfield
of Boston.

the beautifying of this campus
that we plead. Col. Bailey
will have to supply hundreds
of little things in furnishing
the dormitory and class rooms
that the cosual observer is un-
mindful of, which will require
much of his time and money
In many towns the ladies,
for diversion and pastime,
have banded themselves to-
gether into what they term
town Improvement societies,
their aims being to improve
and beautify the parks, courts
and squares around the pub
lie buildings, depot, etc. 1t
is said that certain hitherto
neglected hooks and corners
of these towns have been
transformed into beautiful and
attractive places which have
become the favorite rendez-
vous of the promenaders and
those who go ont in the open
for rest and recreation.
If the Edgefield ladies
would come together and CO.
operate with Col. Bailey
with practically no expense
and but little effort on the part
of each individual--the college
campus could by spring be
made the envy of every visi-
tor to Edgeheld. Think of
this, ladies, and talk to your
friends about it.

An Important Matter.

A matter that is of more
importance than any other to
the citizens of Edgefeld at
this juncture, is that of divid-
ing the town into wards.
While it is true that the mu-
nicipal election is yet six
months off, this is the time to
agitate the niatter---betore the
next municipal campaign is
on. If done now the motives
of the advocates of the change
cannot be impugned, and the
charge that it is being done in
the interests of this or that
candidate cannot be made.
AS the municipal elections
are conducted at present, with
many new corners in Edge
field, it may be possible under
a change of conditions for a
very incompetent man to be
elected mayor, and it would be
almost certain to follow that
incompetent men would eebe
elected members of the coun-
Gil. On the other hand, were
the town divided into wards,
a member of the council
would be elected from each
ward by the residentvoters of
the respective wards and not
by a vote .of the citizens at
large. Then it would be very
probable that the majority of
the ''city fathers" would be
broad, liberal minded men,
who had at heart the welfare
of the entire community, even
though the mayor was not a
competent man. In the con-
duct ofs,thel municipal affairs
the majority vote of the coun-
Gil would prevail and the town
would be we'll and wisely
governed.
Now is the time to agitate
the matter for it is probable
that the legislature would
have to make provision for
the dividing of the town into
wards
