Vermont Veterans at Salt Lake City,


A number of things were said
in connection with the visit of the YER
mont veterans to the national encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Republic
at Salt Lake City which have interest
for the people of the Green Mountain
state, and especially for residents of
Burlington. In the first place, our
people who have just had an experience
of their own in connection with the
entertainment OF large crowds, will note
that the lnter-Mountain Republican of
that city in commenting upon the en-
campment declared "the crowd will have
to be three times bigger than this en-
campment at least before Salt Lake City
will be swamped. The whole city has
responde6to the call for help, and visit
ors are as certain of accommodation as
ever they would have been if the en-
campment had been held in Chicago"
That is point which Burlington will
remember in the future, when talking in
advance about the entertainment Of a
large crowd of visitors.
The Republican speaks in particular OF
the Vermont veterans in the following
terms of appreciation:
Zone of the best looking delegations is
that from Vermont. The men appear
to have Travelled in private car all the
| way, and the women are as fresh and
full of interest as though they had simp-
| " ridden from Richmond to Burlington.
And they have band of mighty good
musicians with them, too"
In view of what has already been said
with reference to the experience of the
| Vermont veterans at the national en-
campment, it is evident that they had
every reason to be satisfied with their
trip and the same thing is true of the
Lyndonville band, that accompanied
them Burlington Free Press.

Sheriff G. F. Winch was as prompt in
paying those whom he engaged in the
man hunt last week, as he was in getting
to the scene of the tragedy after being
informed oft. He was there within a
few hours after it was committed, and
did all in the power of his office immedi.
ately. Then after the murderer was
found he personally went around in his
auto to pay those who responded to his
call for men, Hardwick Gazette.
A man by the name of Waite, who has
been for A years in the employ of the
Fairbanks Scale company at St. Johns

finally concluded to have one. He i:

and he probably will get one. By the
way, it is very appropriate that Waite
should be employed in the scale making

Not Much of a Pull.
1t is not every day that it is possible tc
get all the lawyers of a Vermont county
at one end of rope, as was done at Toe's
Pond in Danville, Saturday. MANY lay
men have been known to long with 6
great desire for such a strategic situa
ton. 1t appears, however, that in thi:
particular instance the other end of the
rope was not over the limb of tree, bu
only in the hands Of the Caledonia Jurors
who took no more serious revenge thar
hauling them around the pond. In thi
case the lawyers didn't have much of {
