1ath Annual ReunioA Of Co. r.. ut Newport.
Wednesday, June q 10 the date
decided upon for the twelfth annual
reunion of Company F, 18th regiment
Vermont Volunteers. This date has
been purposely fixed 80 that those de-
string to do so can attend this and
take in the County Reunion at Derby
the next day, June 22-on the same
trip. 1t is the desire this year of Com
rade and Mrs. Holbrook, and others,
to have a camp fire in the evening
and arrangements are being made to
have enough local talent to fill in
where needed so that there will be no
lack of powder, shell and shot. 1t is
hoped that every member of Com
pany F and all other old soldiers who
can, will plan to be present this year
as we don't know for certain where
we will be next. Perhaps the "Japs''
will get MS; so don'tl let this last chance
slip if you feel at all that way. This
is the eighth time we have met at this
same place so that everybody knows
where it is and how to get there and
what to bring whether you are to stay
over night or not.
Barre Man Invents Water Purifier.
j. W. Lebodell, of Barre, has made
application for patent that if grant
ed, promises to revolutionize present
methods of filtration as applied to wa
ter used for domestic purposes, and
may in the end be enlarged upon so as
to take in the largest reservoirs in the
country. The system employed by
him not only combines the good feat
ures found in the average filter, but
introduces an entirely new method to
destroy all pathogenic bacteria in
such water as flows through the ap-
pliance; and while it will undoubted-
ly be classed as one of the most eff
Gent of filterers, the cost of instalIa-
ton will be only about half of that
now charged by other manufacturers.
The cylinder that contains the purify
ing arrangements is 39x1-0 and con-
, tains four screens, 1,72S inches oil
quarts, aud thirty-six lngeniously
! arranged copper plates; the latter
4 being an innovation introduced By
q the inventor after many years of per
sistent study. These plates are claim eG
to be an absolute preventive agains
n any impurities, animal or vegetable,
and this is the first time they have
ever been used in this manner, al
, though it is said that the Japanes,
II have for q number of centuries uset
, copper vessels to hold drinking water
