Interest at 4 r: Cent:
and Banking by Mail


Commencing July 1st the Lamoille
County Savings Bank & Trust Go. OF
Hyde Park, VT, subject to certain
limitations, will pay interest at four
per cent where money remains with
the Bank one year or more.
The entire assets of this Bank are
kept in Vermont and loaned to Yer
monters to foster Vermont enter
prises and to develop Vermont
industries. This benefits Vermont,
and makes for the security of the
Bank. 1t means as near absolute
safety of the depositor's money as it
is possible to have, fact fully proven
bv the other fact that since the or
ganization of the Bank in 1889, it has
never lost a dollar by poor note,
nor has it now, SO far as known,
single piece of poor or doubtful paper.
The securities of the Bank are at
home where they can be personally
examined and passed upon by its
officials, having in view not only the
material but the moral hazard which
is oftentimes the greater hazard sur
rounding an investment.
Safety of principal rather than high
rates of interest has always governed
in the investments Of this Bank. 1t Is
essentially the peoples Bank and the
people have confidence in it's manage
ment and its safety. Its assets,
together with the liability of the
Stockholders, offer guaranty oil
more than 20 per cent of the entire
deposits that no.depositor shall suffer
loss.
Banking by mail, speciality with
this E.nk, is not only SAFE, but easy

Meeting of Sesame Club.

On Tuesday afternoon October 29, the Sesame club met in regular ses- sion with Mrs Jesse R. Core al her home on West Fifth avenue. Fifteen members were present and the meet ing was one of especial interest and enjoyment The subject for the years study is History and the Romance of the Old South and the New. Each month the members of the club real ize that this is so comprehensive a subiecr that the time limit of two and one-half hours is hardly sufficient for the discussions that arise.
 Compare Character. Motives. etc, of Settlers of Massachusetts with Those of Virginia" was the subject Of an interesting and tactful paper by Mrs. Core. She showed how the diff ference between the Puritan Who sci tied Massachusetts and the dashlnG cavalier whe- came to Virginia intend- ing only long enough to build up his broken fortune, was still to be traced in the conservative northern man and the hot headed" open handed south erner. of today

It is a wide outlook for club to contemplate, first the mak- ms of an ordinary town into a gar den spot. and then the taking up such artistic work for an indefinite period. but nothing could be more stimulating. Nothing. unless in deed. it may be the other and more unitarian outlool, which the ex- perience of real estate dealers for tItty years has made certain-that houses and lots in town made beautiful by civic improvement society will sell at a large valuation while nose in q town left to itself may not even be desirable as gift.
