A Remarkable Demonstratlon.

Beyond all else the feature Of the
i4th national encampment OF the Grand
Army OF the Republic at Atlantic City
has been the fellowship Of men who wore
the blue with those who wore the gray
in the days OF their young manhood,
when Civil war convulsed the land, and
they were engaged IN relentless conflict.
The obliteration OF sectional feelings il
strikingly exhibited when dozens Of the
southern soldiers dropped IN" for the
cncampment and We're hailed as com.
rades.' So warm has this fraternal spir-
IL become that there has been serious
talk Of merging the Grand Army Of the
Republic and the organization Of south
ern survivors into one body for future
encampments The extent TO which this
idea has made Roadway so soon after
is proposal is a surprise 10 the veteran
soldiers OF both armies, and many of
them are ready 70 say that the ultimate
success OF this plan may be brought
about. Leaders Of the "lost cause" have
been cheered at Atlantic City as heartily
as those who led the armies OF the North,
and the sentiment of comradeship IN one
country and under the old flag has been
pervasive and welcome. When the men
who. did the fighting are ready 70 reunte
after this fashion, II is not for any who
failed TO take a personal share in the
great civil conflict 10 eriticise this tenn
per or TO interpose objections Of any
sort eBehold how good thing It Is
for brothers to dwell together in unity,
as these old soldiers are ready 70 do,
while yet they are in the land Of the
living Springfield Republican.

A little use OF the road drag is being
made in the state of Vermont. but we
believe that ii its use should become
common in every town in the state a
great improvement would be made in
the condition OF our highways with a
comparatively small expense. Pertain

from the Enosburg Standard
"The road drag has been used for
SOME time past on the road from East
Berkshire to Richford. with the result
that that piece Of highway Is kept free

obtained from the use OF the drag on
the highway from FRANKLIN to North

solutely dependent upon the ability OF
the banks to lend money and the sit.

an encouraging one.
The banks have not only earned
good incomes during the year about

accumulated and there seems to be q
more pronounced feeling of security
than has existed since the disastrous
panic OF 1907.
Il have also been fayorably i'm

is something new among a certain
class of bankers. This disposition to
discredit and consider as unreliable

My report will comment upon the
fact that the directors of banks who
