Senator Dillingham; opened the
Republican campaign in Maryland
with vice-presidentia1 candidate
Fairbanks, and made his usual
strong impression upon The large
audience present. Representative
Foster made a short speaking tour in
Maine and scored an immense hit
wherever he appeared. Messrs.
Dillingham; and Foster will continue
on the stump during the month of
Oct. and incidentally the thousand
of people who listen to them will
cease to wonder at Vermont's big
Republican plurality, when men of
such ability are selected as politi-
cal leaders.

Carroll S. Page, ex-governor,
banker and ca1fskin king, is the
president of Swanton's new bank,
subscribing for half its capital
stock of $4,000. Since the failure
of it's National Bank, Swanton has
been wi hout banking facilities of
any kind and the new institution,
which opened its doors Sept. 20. will
give this growing northwestern
town something which it sadly
needs. Mr.. Page has made an en-
viab1e reputation as a conservative
administrator of banks affairs, and
his motto for investments, GALL in
Vermont, would keep many bank
out of hot water if followed. Swan
ton, with it's potential advantages of
lake and rail transportation, marble
and limestone quarries, and Mr..
Page, experienced, sagacious and
successful, make a combination that
ought to be mutually profitable.

O'Clock Saturday morning Sept. "a,
1904 was born in Topsham this
county, May 81 1928 being the last
survivor of a family of ten children
of Robert and Dorcas Hardy Rich
ardson. The death of her last sur
viving sister Mrs. Lucinda Baldwin
of Wells River less than four weeks
previous caused her to express the
wish that she herself might soon be
called t. go. Her health had grad

years with chronic bright's, disease
so subtle yet surely fatal at the last,
which terminated in paralysis few
days before her death. She moved
from McIndoes Falls to this town
thirty years ago last spring; her
husband, Jacob Worthen, a we'll
known business man of this place
died March 9, 1890, since which
time she has preferred to live alone
and do her own work. until the last
two years. Besides a large circle
of acquaintance and friends she
leaves to feel her loss one son, W.
H. Worthen of st. Johnsbury and a
daughter, Mrs. S. L. Swasey of this
village. The funeral on Tuesday
afternoon at her late residence was
largely attended, T. c. Keyes di-
rector. Services conducted by Rev.
P. N. Granger of Peacham, an old
acquaintance of nearly fifty years,
who spoke words of high esteem OF
the deceased and counse1ed the liv-
ing to initiate her virtues. The
floral tributes were many, being es-
pecial1y rare. The interment was
in the Ok Bow cemetery beside her
husband; her son, sonin- law and
her two only grandsons acting as
bearers to her last resting place.
