A bill presented at one of the St.
Adams bank Sept. 80 and refused
which purported to be Dominion of
Canada $40 bill. The bill is a
splendid exhibition of what can be
done with a pen, having been raised
from 81 bill. Everywhere on the
bill that one either in letters or
figures appeared it was carefully
erased and a 10 or "TEN" substi-
tuted in work that defies the naked
eye to distinguish from engraving,
even to the almost continuous string
of small Is about the margin of
the bill. The vignette OH the left
side of the face of the bill has been
entirely erased, some fancy scroll
work substituted therefore and a
large 10 put in in ink.
A telegram was received by L.
Bart Cross, chairman of the Mont
pelier business mems committee,
from E. H. Fitzhugh, CT St. Adams,
general manager of the Central Yer
mont, announcing that it had been
decided to continue the train service
between Burlington and Montpelier
for the session. Effective October
the Central Vermont will for the
present at least run local trains Nos.
8 and 9, continuing the service
throughout the session if there are
sufficient passengers to warrant.
This means that trains arriving at
$3.50 a. m. from the south and 9:20 a.
m. from the north will go direct
to Montpelier without change at
Montpelier Junction. This is the
result of the conference held recently.
