compliments to the Hyde Park Savings
Bank in the following enthusiastic Ian
guage:
Congratulations to ex-Gov. Carroll S.
Page and his Lamoille County Savings
Bank and Trust Company!
The company with the long name has
passed the million dollar mark-a re-
markable record, considering its environ
ment and the character of its clientele
Another remarkable thing is that every
cent OF its million dollars is invested in
Vermont Ito foster Vermont industries
and develop Vermont's enterprises" II
is stated that the bank does not own a
dollar of doubtful paper and that it has
never had a dollars worth of real estate
except the bank building, which was
charged to profit and loss some years ago.
Once more, congratulations!
This bank pays per cent compounded
semi-annually on deposits of 500 or
more.

Seven Watches Found in the Ruins Of
Bridge In WestmoreIand.


Foreman Albert W. Spaulding and his
assistants, employed by the Boston &
Maine railroad building bridges, made a
curious discovery Tuesday while tearing
down an old covered bridge over the
railroad track near the Stephen Gerry
place in Westmoeland This bridge was
partially destroyed by fire a few weeks
ago. An old stocking which had been
hidden among the timbers OF the bridge
contained seven watches and a ring The
ring dropped into the ruins when the
stocking was pulled out and could not
be found. Four of the watches were sill
yer, two nickle, and one brass. One Of
the silver cased watches was No. S64462
made by the Home Watch company OF
Boston, Mass. Another, containing fine
works, full Jeweled and an excellent
movement, was of English make bearing
the stamp of d. B. Taylor, London, Eng.
Two OF the watches had been damaged
by the fire. 1t Is thought that the
watches were stolen and that they were
hidden in the bridge. probably a long
time ago.
