TAPLIN,S STORE SOLD.

Harry B. Taplin has sold out the
Taplin Corner dry goods store, which
has been in the family for nearly half
a century, to Perley E. Pope of Barre,
head clerk in Homer Fits store. The
trade was closed on Monday and the
store will go into the possession of
Mr.. Pope on May 1. This action is
taken by Mr. Taplin on account of ill
health and upon the advice of his ply
stefan. necessary requisite to his
future health being more fresh air
than the routine of the dry goods bus
mess will allow him.
The Taplin Corner Store is an old
landmark in Montpelier. George E.
Tsplin took possession of the store
over forty years ago and continued
to run the business for thirty five
years. Upon his death Harry B. Tap
lin succeeded him in the business and
has been the proprietor for about five
years. They have always done good
class of business and been successful.
Perley E. Pope has been in the en-
ploy of Homer Fits for years and has
been popular with the trade in Barre.
Prior to his going to work for Mr..
Fits he was for ten years employ ed
in the Fairbanks dry goods store in
st JohnsbuIy, and when he takes pos
session of store of his own it will
be with thorough knowledge of the
business.
Mr.. Taplin is busy this week TAX
ing an inventory of the stock. 1t is
probable that Miss Alice Taft, who
has been popular clerk for some
time will remain in the store, and
also the other clerks

They had their hearing and looked the
proposed road over last Tuesday. Hon.

of nearly one mile, but it is very
easy place to build and but little grade,
and if nature ever did anything in the
way OF providing a good piece of land
for road, this is one of them.

the county Jail whose release they de-
sired. The prisoner thus named would
be given immediate freedom by order
of the Judge. The beneficiaries We're

decisions. and fifteen cell doors swung
open and the prisoners were told that

OF evil omen among snow climbers.
Next morning his two companions
emerged from their refuge to find the
weather still and clear, and completed
the ascent, returning to find their COM

quite unable to move. The two others
thereupon set off for the Concordia

once sent out, and with great difficulty
the suHerer was borne down to the ho-

condition for some time caused the
