| (Morse) Stratton of Newfane.
| To them one child was born, a
son, who died at the age of four
years. Besides the widow he is
survived by two brothers, Web
ster Merrifeld, president of the
University of North Dakota, of
Grand Forks, and Arthur, a

The annual meeting of the Or
ange County Telephone company
was held at Chelsea Jan. LIST. The
meeting was called to order at IL
o'clock by President G. r. An
drews of Mortified, and the father
of the organization, ex-President
Charles L. Spear of Corinth, was
unanimously elected to preside.
The report of President Andrews,
which embodied a recommendation
of the construction of more "trunk
lines" as the company became able
to build them, was accepted. The
report of the secretary treasurer,
r. II. Williams of Corinth, showed
the financial condition of the cor
poratiOn to be healthy, with a
balance of $912.60 in the treas
ury. 1t also showed that there
were 1880 shares of stock issued,
l Alb Of which are 'pole" shares
and 1T money" shares, and that
of the total number of shares of
stock held by the subscribers, 159
had been issued during the past
year. This report and the re-
ports of Stanley G. Wilson, aud
itor, and Fl. B. McIntfre of Ran
dOlph, purchasing agent for the
corporation, were accepted and
adopted. Following these reports,
Chairman Spear introduced Geo.
A. Beals of Boston, representa-
tive of the New England Tele-
phone company, who addressed
the members of the corporation
to the end that some arrangements
might be made whereby the two
corporations might unite on ami
cable terms for exchange of serv-
ices, and suggested that the chair
appoint a committee to meet him
self, with W. A. Lewis and j. f.
Butler of Boston, who were also
New England Telephone company
representatives, and NJ. H. Hazen
of South Royalton, proprietor of
the former Hazen telephone line,
which was merged into the New
England company four years ago,

A Church without Services.

There is in London, within a few
yards of the beautiful marble arch in
Hyde park. church in which no serv-
ices are ever held. This Church of the
Ascension. as it is called, was built by
Mrs. Russell Quincy as a memorial to
her husband. and she expressly stated
that the edifice was to be used for
prayer. rest and meditation solely. A
handsome building it is, with its tessel-
lated floors and its numerous fine paint
ings. Over the door is posted this no.
tice, explaining the true object of the
church: Passengers through the busy
streets of London. enter this sanctuary
for rest and silence and prayer. Let
the pictured walls within speak of the
past yet ever continuing ways of God
with man."

Twenty ministers i'll st. Paul
are running a newspaper and this
is their idea of what a newspaper
should be. Reputable journals are
run on about this general plan, as
newspaper men generally have a
high idea of their calling. GA
newspaper ought to be "a mirror,
rejecting the life of today, but,
just as tie reflection Of a dirty
face will persuade its owner to
clean it, so ought the sins and
evils of the day be written in the
spirit of condemnation and cor
rection. The rule of the majority
should prevail, that what inter
ests the greater number of people
ought to be given greatest promi-
nence.

Feeding Green Cut Bone Pays
Mr.. A. F.. Hunter, who is one of the
regular contributors to the New Eng
land Farmer, not long ago said in the
columns of that paper: Feeding fresh
cut bone to fowls, to induce abundant
laying, has proved a decidedly profit
able thing. The bones are rich in ami
NAL matter, and contain lime OF Whlch
the egg shells are made, and hens fed
on fresh cut bone will lay a larger num-
Der of eggs than if fed on bone. Not
only will they lay larger number OF
eggs, but the eggs will be stronger
bodied, will be better eggs, and If in
cubated win have better and stronger
chicks" G. S. Page of Hyde Park, VT,
on receipt of $3.50 will forward to any
one a 200 pound barrel of Green Cut
Bone, preparing railroad freights to
any station in New England or Middle
States

The unwritten law has received
a great boom in a number of muir
Ger cases over the country. 1t is
relied upon as a defense in sever
al cases soon to be tried or that
have just been tried. 1t has come
into use on the suppositiot that
there are crimes that the law
does not reach, which can be pun
ished only by the wronged one tax
ing vengeance into his own hands.
But it has no place in law, al
though in a few cases it has prov
ed weighty enough to acquit the
prisoner. 1t is dangerous thing
to depend upon since it is very IN
certain in it's results.

John d. Rockefeller says that
he fears this country has passed
its heighth of prosperity and that
we are on the shady side of that
prime condition. Let us hope that
too much money has given John
ID. financial indigestion and so his
monetary outlook is through dark
glasses.

Young 1907 seems to have a
wise head on his shoulders, since
with a shortage in coal over the
country, he prepares for us a mild
January. Such thoughtfulness is
not often met with in so youthful
a person. However, we all appre-
ciate the condition of affairs.

1t is getting to be the regular
thing for us to marry our Ameri-
can girls to titled foreigners and
then in an interval of a few years
to have the costly union smashed.
Money and titled seem to mix
about as well as the proverbial
oil and water. Now we have the
Duke and Duchess Of Marlborough
agreeing to disagree.

Gov. Hughes inaugural was
watched with more than usual in
terest and his message has been
read carefully by people all over
the Union. The phase which was
the most commented upon was his
recommendation that state COM
missions be abolished. We in Yer
mont have had some experience
with commissions and some of
them we wish had died before they
were born. 1t is certain that
many commissions could be abol-
ished without any loss to the good
name of most of the states.

The railroad Commission has
been requested by the Montpelier
Railroad to allow stoves to heat its
mixed trains, and the Commission
has given it's consent, but with the
provision that these stoves should
be of the johnson type which is a
safety stove quite different in its
results from an ordinary stove in
a wreck. The johnson and Baker
stoves are used on mixed trains in
Massachusetts with good results.
Since stoves seem to be the only
way of heating these trains, until
something better is devised, the
best that the market affords
should be installed on all roads.
Judge James w. Remick has
rendered his resignation to the

their own ranks.

w. E. Cory may wed the &C
tress for whom he divorced his
wife, who had been a faithful
helpmate through all his years of
struggle, who was the mother of
his child; and while he may be
prosperous and at the head of
one of the greatest corporations
of the country, yet he has nothing
but the contempt of all right
minded people, and the sweetness
of life is more than likely to turn
to bitterness before it is spent.

'TFather" Clark has just been re
elected president of the Worlds
Christian Endeavor. This move
ment is a child of his very own
and it is fitting as long as he lives
that he should be at least its nomi-
nal head. At the present writing,
he is an active head of its activi-
ties. Young Peoples societies
have become a popular means of
Christian work since "Father"
Clark gathered his group of young
people into a society.
