The Macon Times gets off the

to people who are raising boys.
Some people think it mystery
that Notwithstanding good ad-
vice their boys grow up to be
wild and reckless young men.
If these boys were taught from
infancy that home was the
proper place for them after dark
rather than prowling around
the streets, annoying well and
sick people alike, much of this
mystery might be explained,
aud young men with better
moral characters and more in
telligenr minds would be the
result. No parent need expect
pure morals in boy that
prowls the streets at night even

have been brought in the name OF the
state through its legal representative,
the attorney general, rather than the
state board of health, and further that
neither the property owners Or the sil
lage trustees have ever had notice that
the water was going to be condemned,

The Barre authorities do not know on
what grounds the state Of Vermont can
mold this city liable for the two months
stay Of James i. Campbell. promoter

Granite Construction company, in the
county jai, pending disposition Of Mrs.
Katherlina SterIing's suit against him
for deceit in sale of stock Campbell did
not have a legal residence in this city,
was not listed here and had not voted
here. II Is understood that he paid tax
es to the city Of Montpelier last spring,
and that there was some difficulty over
the payment Of the additional costs Of
collection
If the state should attempt to force
the bill on the city, it Is probable that
the matter viii be contested. Both
Mayor Robins and City Clerk Mackay
stated today that they had not been no
tilted BY Sheriff Tracy that the city Of
Barre would be holden for Campbel's
board during his stay in jail. This IS
directly in contradiction to the asser-
tion that the city had been notified
shortly after his arrest. Mrs. Sterling.
