A Good Local Paper.

The st. .Johnsbnry Caledonian came
out recently in new dress, but we
should not have noticed it had we not
seen it mentioned in our exchanges, for
the Caledonian has always presented a
neat Typographical and mechanical APP
pearance, and well edited too. The way
to have "A good local paper is to patronize
1t, and the way to tell growing, thrifty
town is by its home paper. The Cal
edonian stands in the front rank of
country journalism, because Editor Stone

The HERALD's congratulations are a
little tardy, but none the less sincere.

The gentlemen who advocate a law

ton of Selectmen, To automobiles, should
consider well the wisdom of such leglS-
lation. All new law, while not antlci-
pating in the present the remote future.
should, We believe, he progressive. For
example: Our lawmakers need not
spend time in debating an act providing
that flying machines shall not travel
nearer the earth than Il stated distance :
no more should they discuss an act
closing certain highways to automobiles.
The one anticipates future possibility,
the other ohstructs the legitimate devel-
opment of an existing utility. The fact
that a highway exists presupposes the
fact that citizens need to pass and re-
pass thereon. If it were a case of high
way VS.. automobiles, then the plaintiff
would get Judgment, as in the case OF
highway VS.. chains, brakes and shoes.
1t is simply a case of one sort of vehicle
against another sort each has an equal
right to use every highway, but the use
of each should be so regulated as to
bring the greatest good to the largest
number of users of both. The only
logical Legislation should be to regulate
the manner and not the place of use
We are informed that when the indis.
pensable umbrella first came to earth, il

their daughter Christie were present on
October 9th at very pleasant reunion
of the family of Mr.. and Mrs, Josiah IL
benton in Lancaster, y. H., on the oc-
casion of the tiftieth anniversary of their
marriage
The Benton family is of original Yer
mont stock. Mr. Benton was born At

Gated himself for the ministry, aud for
many years preached in Addison and
Mortified, Vermont, aud in Clinton aud
Port Huron, Michigan. After retiring
from the ministry he lived for long
time in Maidstone. Vermont. upon the
farm where his son Samuel now resides.
lie removed from there to his present
nome in Lancaster in lS9S
There are ten sons aud daughters of
Mr. Benton now living and all of these,
except Hugh II. Benton of Seattle,
Washington, were present at the reunion
with their families. substantial ban
quet was served and was followed he
informal toasts and music. The follow-
ing original poem, composed for the oc-
caslon by Mrs. Rhodia Il. Chandler of
this town, was read
Spring with its bursting buds and flowers
And Summers richer bloom,
And autumn's fruit and falling leaf
Precede the winters gloom;
So youths bright springtine, summers
flowers,
And autnmns dreary weather,
Have come anagone since, hand in hand
These two have walked together.
Sunshine and shadow, JOY and grief,
Alternate hopes and fears,
Have mingled in their welded life.
Now numbering fifty years;
But strong and true, as when in youth
Their VOWS Of love they plghted.
They stand today with faith UNCHANGED
And heart TO heart united.
And as we gather here tonight
With golden gift aud greeting.
In memory Shey travel DER
The fifty years so fleeting:
Again they feel each added joy.
The present heart possessing.
Till ten dear children fill their ho,o
With love, and car, aud blessing.
Again with mingled grief and iov.
They bid fond farewell.
As one by one their treasures pass
TO other homes to dwell:
Some lingering 'mongst their uotiva lin,
MAKE glad this season bright,
Ana one from his far distant home
Sends greeting here tonight.
And often echoes through this home
lher chlldren's children's tread,
ne crown of glory God bestows
Upon the aged head
And though, perchance, in LIES Young
morn,
Some clouds obscured their way,
hey only make the sun more bright,
AS nears the close of day.
And as the wheels of time roll round
May each succeeding year
BRING added joys and blessings still,
10 crown their pathway here;
And when at last, life's labors past
They lay their armour down.
Nay they with joy exchange earth's cross
For heavens immortal crown.
Mr. Samuel S. Benton in a verv .,
proplate speech presented to Mr.. and
Mrs. Benton, in behalf of all the fan;l,
large sterling silver gold lined lovine
cup appropriately engraved rs a souvenir
Oh the occasion, and Col. j. II. Benton
IT, presented Mrs. Benton fifty g.. 50
so'd pieces and Morris chair to Mr.

gifts.
