Savings Bank Investments at Home

C.S, Page, the calf skin man and
banker, of HYDE Park, is a firm be-
lever in advertising.
And the results obtained are such as to
cause him to feel that his policy is the
correct one. Mr.. Page has built up at
Hyde Park a business in calf skins that
is second TO none in the world and
annually has to increase the size of his
plant to meet the demands of the bust
ness
This speaks well for Mr.. Page, who
has made Hyde Park famous as the calf
skin center of the world.
Mr. Page has also found time to help
start a savings bank in his town, con.
Quoted on Page ideas, and it is today one
OF the leading banking institutions of
Vermont and has done much to help YER
mont industries.
The bank s investments are right here
at home where the bank officials can ex-
anime them personally This is a safe
guard that is appreciated by depositors
1t is needless for us to state that the
public has faith in Page, his conserva-
tism and careful business methods.
The Hyde Park savings bank has
gained nearly quarter OF a million
dollars in deposits in the past six
months, due in great measure to
iudicious advertising
Other savings institutions would bene-
fit greatly if they adopted such course.
Hyou have good thing, advertise it,
That is what {. S. Page has done and
the results prove that it pays

HARDWICK.
$4,000 Fire in Hardwick

The large Russell block, owned by A.
NJ. McFarlane, was destroyed by fire,
together with an unoccupied granite
plant, the fire starting just before one
O'Clock Thursday afternoon. The loss is
estimated at $35, 1000, partially covered
by insurance. 1t is thought that the
flames started in the furnace room,
about the base of the chimney
The fire worked its way upward
rapidly and before the hremen could get
water playing the flames were beyond
control and the building was doomed.
Efforts were then directed toward saw
ing the adjoining property, This they
were successful in doing, with the ex-
ception of the stone shed which was
pretty well Quilted. The Russell block
was completely wiped out.
1t was frame structure, four stores
high and of large dimensions. 1t was
built several years ago at a cost OF 500
600 by the late F. T. Russell. The
owner at the time of the fire, Mr.. Nc
Farlane, occupied the first floor as a
grist mill and grocery store He had
two hundred tons of feed in the building
and many cars of other grain, having a
total stock of $4,000 He got out very
little of the stock.
The other floors of the building were
used as tenements, being occupied by SIX
families, who lost all their household
effects The flames, famed by the wind
swept through the building very rapidly
and within an hour the whole structure
was down.
The building seems to have been
hooded, for T. F. Rand, who built it,
was instantly killed while at work on its
construction

paper on current events, which were
much enjoyed, and the rest of the pro-
gram was carried out by the visiting
clubs. Miss Parker OF Whiteheld gave
an excellent paper entitled "The Value of
an Ideal. l." This showed broad and clear
thinking, and careful preparation The
keynote of this paper was keep your
ideals high" Miss Dunstan of Groveton
read paper on "The Value of Organiza-
ton" which was very apt and convincing
that woman's clubs in spite of their
critics had a right to exist, and that such
an organization has an uplifting influence
in a community. Mrs. Lois Bailey of
Lancaster presented a paper on THE
Old South and the New" which showed
much study and research, bringing out
points new and old. The race problem
was discussed fairly and intelligently

clans. A social hour followed, friends
meeting, and new acquaintance being
made. Miss Bell, who knows how to
entertain, served a nicely prepared lunch

ing better acquainted with each other

Push Your Town Along.

The town which grows and outstrips
competition and in the long run makes its
citizenship prosperous and happy is the
one which runs plumb over it's mossback
citizenship, says an exchange. The town
which grows has to build public roads
where the party most to be benefioed won't
help; it must build school houses and
churches even though wealthy citezens
refuse to subscribe; it must be liberal in
providing entertainments; must gotout and
build up other peoples property; the town
which succeeds must be built up by the
poor folks; the rich are usually contented
with existing conditions. Don't become
discouraged when your rich neighbor who
is to be directly benefited refuss to take
hold of and subscribe to town improve
ment. Just 60 ahead and strain yonr-
self beyond your means even, and you will
live to see the day when the town builders
will be In the saddle. What becomes of
the obstructers we don't know and need
not care to know: sufficient that they get
run over and are lost to sight in the busy
rush Of a prosperous city where the men
of energy and liberality knock down all
JUICY plums.

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

Louisville Times: Richmond Pearson
Hobson has writ a letter. 1t has not been
made public-another cause for thanks
giving.
Louisville Courier-Journal: Clean pol
tiles, honest politics, wise politics-the
good of the country-would seem to de.
mand that the Democratic party, much
discouraged and depressed, and thoroughly
beaten, should still hold together, seeking
to preserve its morale, and as the saying
hath it, keeping its powder dry.
Dallas News: Each of the insect eating
birds killed in November and other months
Of the hunting season means an increase
OF boil weevils and insects next spring and
summer. Birds are the greatest allies of
the farmers in their fight against insect
pests. The sooner the farmers proclaim this
fact, by protecting the birds on their farms
against traps, pens, nets and the man with
the breech-loader" and "pointer dog"
the better it will be for themselves and the
business iaterest of the country at large.
Breathitt County (Ky.) News: From
the days of Thomas Jefferson, the great
exponent of equal rights, the funeral of
the Democratic party has been preached
and all sorts of prophecies been made by
the seers of Free Sellers, Abolitionists,
Know Nothings and Republicans, but still
it is here. It's principles still live in the
hearts of men who hold right above might
The old Democratic ship has weathered
many storm and gale. We make this ap-
peal to all true Democrat: stand by your
colors; be We not terrified, for these things
must be; be We not carried about by every
wind of doctrine. Stand firm in the faith
of Democracy.
Edgeiield Is. c. Advertiser: Blind
tigers are scared out of their boots in
Spartanburg. A white man of consider
able prominence was convicted last Friday
on three counts for the unlawful selling of
liquor and was sectenced by Judge Klugh
to pay fine of $1,000 or serve eighteen
months in the penitentiary or on the chain
gang. 1t is encouraging to see that the
Circuit Judges are opening their eyes to
the fact that light fines and short terms of
imprisonment do not deter the tigers. A
sentence or two imposed in every county
like the Spartanburg sentence will drive
the unlawful sellers of LIQUOR into other
lines of business.
