Unfair for the Fair.

There must have been unmixed joy in
the bosom of the mixed train on Tues
day when it heard the uncomplimentary
remarks usually hurled at its head di,
reeted, for once, against the regular
which so completely left the track Just
below Newfane station that only the
wheels of one truck of the engine re-
NAMED on the rails. Although no one
was seriously hurt all of the passengers
were badly shaken and, as most OF them
had donned long trousers and pettlcoats
some years ago, they had been for some
time unaccustomed to this form OF ex'
ercise. Besides those from town who
were going to the fair, and there were 20
tickets sold here that morning, there
were some who had started on 3onger
journeys and would fail to make connec-
lions at Brattleboro. The special which
arrived at Newfane about 1890 to take
them to Brattleboro did not mollify the
feelings Of the would-be fair goers to
any great extent Moreover, fear of the
road prevented many from going on We'd
nesday and Thursday. In view of this
state of affairs we would say
Is it fair that the fair be detained from
the fair
By rails that are rusty and rotten?
If it's fair that the fair be detained
from the fair,
The accidents nothing so shocking.
But if
It's not fair that the fair be detained
from the fair
The managements something quite
shocking.

Policies That Insure Sue
cess in Savings Banks

Every good banking institution
has certain policies which it fol-
lows invariably and which make
for the success or failure of the
Bank. The Enosburg Falls Stand
ard evidently believes the Hyde
Park Savings Bank is following
the right kind of policies. Itsays:
Ex.Gov. c. S. Page has every reason for
pride and satisfaction over the record made
by the Lamoille County Savings Bank, which
on July 18th passed the millondollar mark
in assets. This is distinctively Vermont
institution for it has been the policy of the
bank since its establishment that nonesof its
loans should be made out of the state. 1t
has never lost dollar by a poor note. Its
depositors are to be found in practically
every town in the state. Its policies have
commanded patronage and made for its sue
cess.
This Bank pays 4 per cent.
compounded semi-annually on
deposits of 500 or more.
