The noted breach of promise case Of
Irene Massucco VS.. Dominica Tomasi,
which has been having its third county
court trial at Montpelier. was finished
Friday afternoon, when the jury brought
in verdict for the plaintiff of $404S16, and
1t is probable 1t will again be appealed
to the supreme court. Both the parties
lived here In Bellows Falls a number of
years and are well known The first
verdict was for $4,000 and after the case
went to the supreme court the first time
it was retired, when a verdict of $500
was rendered, and now the third trial re-
suits as above.

evening the meeting Of bailiffs was in

at work. owing to an injury the work
man had received while on duty While
the trustees might have taken the same
course and paid him II they had known
of the case, they felt the payment with

discharged him. When the street depart

they quit in a body, and the street work
was stopped until new force could be

the reputa ton OF being one of Vermont's
most successful business men. It may
also be noted that no man in the world
believes more thoroughly in the judicious
use of printers ink than Mr.. Page and
advertising has been factor in the up
building of this bank.
Mr.. Page has conducted his bank on
original lines for his motto has always
been, Vermont money for Vermonters to
