her chances in a leap from the carriage
that landed her about ten feet away with
fractured limb, Her left ankle was put
out, and three little homes below the

almost impossible TO set them.
Mrs, Fred Wiley Of Newport, n. H.,
had been called to the Center by the
death Of her brother, Z. p, WILDER, and
was met at the station Saturday after
noon by Mrs. wilber's nephew, Frank
Whitney, with team, They had started
on the ride TO the Center and were trot-
ting down the steep hill below the For
est street corner when the horse Stun
hled and fell doubled up under the wag-
ON, which slid over It's body as far as
tugs and holdhacks would permit. The
young man was on the ground in sec
ond and had Mrs. Wiley out OF the wag-
ON before il could be upset by the horse,
which, however, lay perfectly still, with
its head under the back OF the vehicle,
until the harness was loosened enough
TO allow ii TO struggle to its feet. One
holdbaek was broken and the horse went
a little lame in the of toreleg.
u A telegram was received Friday an
nouncing the death the previous morning
OF Mrs. Addie Wood Wetmore at Min
neapolis, Mimi, from consumption. She
was the daughter OF the late William
Wood OF Randolph but had for a long
time been a resident OF the West. Two
years ago her eldest son, Robert, took
her TO Cuba in the hope that winter In
that milder climate might arrest the
progress Of her disease and upon their re-
turn from the island brought her TO Yer
mont for last visit TO the relatives and
girlhood friends in the old home. Mrs.
Wetmore, whose husband died some years
since, left five children-Robert, Ernest,
Florence, Ethel and Reginald, all of Min
neapolis. She is also survived by sister,
Mrs. Ellen Doxtator Of Chicago; brother,
William F. Wood OF Woodstock; step
mother, Mrs Hannah Wood Lamb, and a
half-brother, Frank b, Wood, OF this
place.
The last OF the loan, for which the viii
lage was bonded in 1857 10 install the wa
ter system fell due July to the amount
OF $1,000. By an enabling act passed at
the last legislature, an agreement has
been made with the National Life lnsur-
ance company of Montpelier, the original
holders of the bonds, to take this $1,000
again in bonds OF $1,000 each, bearing in
terest at per cent. The first bond will
be payable July /, 1909, and one will be
due every year thereafter until all are
paid. The loan negotiated in 1887 was
$50, 900, which was increased through inn
provements and additions to the system
to over s32, 900. In the 20 years since the
village supply was installed, the water
rents have liquidated all but $1,000 of
the cost and would wipe out the entire
debt but that it seems best to postpone
further payment until 1909 in order to
have funds available for another extern
sion of the system to be made in the near
future.
The State Board of Agriculture has just
issued beautifully illustrated pamphlet,
presenting a fair and unvarnished &C
count OF the advantages in owning per-
manent summer home in Vermont.
The views show such silvery lakes, such
dancing brooks, such ''happy valleys in
green reposen and mountain peaks that
pierce the blue, it seems fortunate that
the dweller in these lovely parts is not US

ment which might cause him in an costa

forget to milk the cows or feed the pigs.
Luckily for the ''crops' of this charming
domain, the native eye can spontaneously
glisten with admiration when it rests on

: wife the superintendency of the girls de-
partment. This school is for the poor
whites of the South and is under the
management of the Freedmen's Aid and
, Southern Education society of the Meth
odist church. The fall term will open
the latter part of September and Rev.
and Mrs. Fowler are to store their house
, hold goods and be ready to sail from New
York the 10Th of August. Mr.. Fowler
was chosen for the position from among
80 applicants and will bring to the work
not only sound scholarship but the tact
and social qualities that have contributed
to his success as pastor. He will have
an invaluable assistant in Mrs. Fowler,
who has an unusual faculty for interest
ing young people and is teacher OF VIDE
experience. This is the fourth year OF
their pastorate in Randolph, marked by
the most kindly feelings between pastor
and people and harmonious furtherance
of church work. Much regret will attenc
their departure.
