spohded, while the local members were
largely on hand. The place of meeting
rays nail, was handsomely decorated
with ropings of evergreen and masses of
cut flowers, while each window held n

nlled with ferns. The meeting was call
ed to order by the master, George p

program was rendered: Song by the QUAR-

The company then formed in line. and.
led by the master and his wife marched
to the dining room below, where a fine
banquet was spread The company were
ably served by a corps of young ladies',
and after doing justice to the repast, the
postmaster of the occasion, w. ~ Pike,
drew out a good number of short speech
es, performing his duties in a felicitous
manner. The entire affair had been ably
planned and was thoroughly enjoyable to
all participants.
Several years ago when Old Home
week was in its infancy an association
was formed here and an effort made for
a popular celebration, but the move
ment lacked support, the principal OBJ
lection advanced being the lack of a
building in which to hold the festival
should the day be a stormy one the
town building having been destroyed by
fire. Since then a more commodious
structure has arisen and been in use
for several years, but no demonstration
for Old Home week has been made Now
that the Grange has within its limits,
observed such an occasion, It is hoped
that on some day in the not very distant
future 1t will be broadened and old Hins-
dale will call home its sons and daugh-
ters scattered as they are far and wide,
and that grand reunion may be the re-
suit.

The Waterbury Record thinks that the
plan of having their Savings Bank de-
posts invested at home appeals to Yer
monters, and that this fact accounts
largely for the success of the Hyde Park
Savings Bank, whose funds are all in
vested in Vermont. 1t says:
Thursday July H. was a proud
day for Ex-Gov. c. S. Page The La
noble County Savings Bank, of which Mr..
Page is president, showed that the bank
assets had passed the million dollar mark
1t has been the motto of the bank since
1t was started that all its loans would be
in Vermont, and to-day not a single dol
lar is loaned out Of the state. Vermont
ers like the plan Of having their savings
invested at home and depositors like the
idea Of having man Of Mr.. Pages busi-
ness ability at the head Of the bank, thus
the principal reason why the bank is so
successful.

semi annually on deposits Of 500 or more
