GET TOGETHER
ON ONE THING.
StrongLe tter to theGreen
River Growers.
MARKSBERY TALKS OF BURLEY
Says He Believes a Record
Breaking Crop Will be
Grown This Year.

To the Tobacco Growers of the
Green River District:-The question
has been asked by some of the mem
bers of our association as "a whether
or mot We were going to circulate ann
acreage and pooling pledge, 6oT the
coming year, stating it rad been re-
ported THAT che board of control had
decided not DO circulate any and let
the Equity people make arrangement 5
and all sign with them. We WISH
to state that we have never thongAh
.rf anything else than going abcng
with hte same management of last
year. The acreage pledge has been
ordered printed and will be circu-
lated as soon rs possible, and TIE
pooling pledge will be circuIated Ia
ter, but in due time.
We hive nothing to be discouraged
over. The Green River Association
alone this year controlled more b)-
bacco Illan all associations and or
ganizations combined did last year.
Wecontpolled This season, in this dis
tric., about 100000 pounds. Wa
believe, generally speaking, we Ehve
given almost entire satisfaction md
no one can deny the fact that the coun
try is in a more prosperous conditich
than it has been since the great
hand of the trust was laid upon Tia
tobacco growers.
And We believe THAT We can say
Furthermore ahat We have come near
err gaining the confidence of the buy
ers by always trying to consider bob
parties when a difference would come
up. So let us profit by the mistakes
CT the past, and as We have never
had a PLAN that was perfec, I'M ev-
cry detail, give cur most CAREFUL and
considerate Thought, with our best
judgment, in ire management ct tie
ass citation during tie coming year.
With the preseIt management We
rave been able to receive on gen.
eral average, as muGh for rur to-
bacco as Tire outsider, only in few
inst ances where there were few
farmers given the privilege of buy
ing a few crops and they shIwed lie
man they bought for. Just whhh
they have shown their neighbOrs for
tie lust five years, ttaV wien they
had tie advantage, they used it.
Therefore. scme people got two mines
for very inferior b1bacco, but hardly
ever did We merchant himself pay
t-aI, price.
So with a prosperous season. just
closing, with tile farmer, mere, hnt
banker and all Etter occupations, and
the premise OF another gIpd season in
the future let us all sign the acre.
age and polling pledge. until we cum
mot see fiji to work with tie Green
River Association, pledge With some
os5er organization ard let's all get
! ogether ON price-making and selling
and no one will aaNe the advantage
taken OF him, like there las been
before. Yours for success.

Travelling Troubles of a Pantor
Man.

George c. Pease, with homes in Pan
ton and New York city, had an expert
ence out of the usual Friday night in an
endeavor to reach the metropolis. Mr..
Pease was summoned by an accident
sustained by Mrs. Pease in runaway
accident. He was driven from Panton
to Vergennes, only to arrive two min
utes after the departure of the 8. Is even
ing train. On being informed that the
New York sleeping train did not stop at
Vergennes, MIR. Pease proceeded to this
place, arriving a few minutes after the
departure of the desired train.
Railroad headquarters at Rutland were
Immediately communicated with by tele-
phone, but officials in authority had re-
tired for the night and it was only after
vexatious delay that the superintend-
ent could be reached. When the case
of Mr.. Pease was explained he was in
formed that only on a cash deposit of
S2S7 90 would a special train be made up
to convey him to Albany, n. Y. The
troubled traveller offered to deposit jewels
and personal belongings valued far in ex-
cess of the cost of the train, but the COM
pany's official was unrelenting until
made acquainted with the responsibility
of the applicant, when Mr.. Peases per-
sonal check was accepted. The special
train left Middlebury at $50 and made
an almost record breaking run to Albany
making close connections for New Y ork.
Mr.. Pease is wel-known club man
and member of tercentenary commit

County Courts First Term,

The first term of Addison county court
was held in Addison the first Tuesday of
March, 1885. and the second term in
Colchester on the second Tuesday of
November, 1856. The court then con-
sisted of Chief Judge John Strong of
Addison, and Assistant Judges Gamaliel
Painter of Middlebury, and Ira Allen of
Colchester. Noah Chittenden of Col
chester, was the first sheriff and Col.
Seth Storrs of Addison, states attorney.
Previous to 1887 there were four as
sistant judges in the county. The first
session of court in Colchester was held at
Capt. Thomas Butterfield's home.
The first court house was begun in
Middlebury in 1906 but was not used
until 1893. 1t was built by subscriptions
of Middlebury people. The Jail had been
built previously. =

Longer Contracts with Teachers

The proposition to make contracts
who by long and excellent service have
demonstrated their ability and fitness is
such a simple one, and at the same time
so just, that it is hardly conceivable that
it could be opposed if thoroughly under
stood. The writer believes that the
proposition was turned down through
his own fault in not explaining the mat
ter in all its details. The disadvantages
of making contracts with teachers for a
term of years which would be binding
under all circumstances are so obvious
that it hardly needs to be stated that no
one had any such contract in view. The
question which would have been pre-
seDted at the school meeting, had the
matter not been so unceremOniously
tabled, was as follows: Whether or not to
allow the committee to make with teach
ers three tor FIVE year contracts condi-
toned on good behavior and efficiency.
1t will be seen that the interests of the
district would be safeguarded in such a
contract because the teacher could be
discharged at any time for cause; while
the advantage ~ lhe teacher WOulu lie III
the fact that he could not be discharged
except for cause until the expiration of
the contractual period. Under the pres
ent one-year system the teacher can be
discharged at the end of any year no
cause being given.
1t is also to be noted that the commit
tee was to be allowed mot instructed) to
make such contracts. The committee
would have been left to use its discre ton
as to whether or not, to avail itself of the
permission granted.
