Charles Herbert Clisbee, GA, died yes
terdav morning at the home of DR.
Kinney at Revere, Mass, and his body
brought here last night. The cause of
death was tuberculosis, from which he
had suffered several years.
Mr.. Clisbee was the son of Charles
and Elvira (Olds) Clisbee. He was
born in Guilford, February is, 1914,
and lived there the greater part OF the
time until 1876. He was educated in
the Guilford schools and also attended
Arms academy in Shelburnc Falls, fit
ting himself for teaching. He taught
school in Guilford and surrounding
towns about five years, then went to
West Brattleboro in 1876 and engaged
in the grocery business in the old Glen
House building, which was burned about
25 wears ago. He sold his business
there to c. X. Jones and went to Brat
tleboro. where he bought the business
in the store at the corner of Canal and
South Main streets now owned by r.
f. Young. A few years later he sold
out his business and worked in a local
bakery and during the last 16 years
has been clerk in the grocery store now
owned by H. S. Goodenough. During
that time the store has been owned by
several different ones. Mr.. Chsbee re-

Miss Mary Clisbee. His home was

Mr.. Clisbee was member of the Con-
gregational church many years and
was an earnest worker in the society. |

The Candidate Club.
(St. Adams Messenger. J

Secretary Taft's ancestors were among
the founders of Jamaica and Townshend,
VT, settling there just before the Revolu-
tionary war; and there runs tradition
from among them that the sound of the
cannonading at the battle of Bunker Hill
was distinctly heard there. This seems a
pretty large story, for Jamaica and
Townshend must be distant nearly 100
miles in bee line. Yet, Arago, the
French physicist of the early 10th cent
ury, established the fact that the cannon
of that time could be heard at distance
of 90 and even 125 miles. Under favorable
atmospheric conditions it is quite possible
that the pioneer people on the Vermont
hills above the Connecticut valley heard
the sound of the cannon of the British
ships borne on the morning air of June II,
775."-Springfeld Republican.
Windham is a great county in which
to ''hear" things. One can hear anything
one wants to at any time, and have some
thing left over for good measure. Ask the
rank and file of the Candidate Club at

The town of Brattleboro has this
week paid into the state treasury the
sum of $12,92S.42, that being the
amount of the United States deposit
money ON which the town has been pay
ing interest at per cent. The money
was paid by Town Clerk William s.
Newton, trustee, the selectmen having
liquidated the notes held by Mr.. New
ton in his capacity as trustee. In order
to pay the notes the selectmen Dor
rowed $4,000 at the Peoples national
bank, issuing therefor 10 short time
notes of $1,000 each, bearing interest
at four per cent. The first of these
notes will be paid in 1910, and in eight
years the debt will be wiped out. AT
the last session Of the legislature an
act was passed directing the trustees
of public money to collect and pay
over the United States deposit money
on or before December 81, 1907, or to
pay interest thereon at per cent. The
object of the legislature in calling for
the deposit money was to create per-
manent school fund. At the annual
March meeting in 1907 the subject was
brought up for discussion and resolu-
ton, introduced by E. W. Gibson, was
adopted deferring payment of the
United States deposit money until such
time as the towns liability was de-
termined in the judgment of the select
men.
