The cover of the Youths Companion
for January 16 illustrates sMidwinter in
Vermont" with a street scene at Ran
dolph Center showing the Randolph
House and two dwellings at the south of
it. The picture was entered in the Com
panion's competition for amateur photo
graphers in 1902 by Miss Nellie F. Con-
ant of the Center, who with her sister,
Miss Grace, have since made the Conant
pictures famous in this locality for their
beauty and the artistic taste exercised in
their selection. The Companion remarks

'been here before in so many forms that
the cover-page picture might be taken as
historic, prophetic or both.
Mrs. Aurelia A. Hubbard, whose death
occurred in Springfield, Mass, the 7th

She had resided in Springfield since re-
moving from Randolph ten years ago
with her husband, E. 0. Hubbard, who is
engaged in life insurance business in
that city. They had been married nearly
40 years and were living in this village at
the time OF their silve- wedding anniver-
sary, which was ceIe hrated at their home,
now the DIR. ]. z. Clifford house, on
