WrecGers have been busy the past week
with sledgs hammers and dynamite get
ting ready for the junk heap The locomo-
tive OF the Rochester railroad that was
wrecked at Stony Brook bridge last
month. Il was thought at first that the
engine was intact enough to send along
on her own wheels but the Central Yer
mont railway refused TO take it in the
shape it was on their line so it was run
off on the siding by the Matgon shop and
demolished. This engine was formerly
run on the Central Vermont, when it
was known as the }. W. Hobart.
Mrs. Dora Clark died Tuesday after
noon, aged So years, OF acute Bright's
disease at the home OF her daug liter, Mrs.
Olin G. Bradley. She had kept house for
William II. Smith the last five years and
bad been in failing health several
months. Two weeks ago she was taken
to her daughters home. Owing to the
illness OF Grace Bradley with diphtheria,
no funeral service was held, but a prayer
by Rev. J. Wesley Miller at the grave in
Fairview cemetery. Mrs. Clark was the
widow OF Eugene Clark, a Civil war veter-
an, who died seven years ago in Stock
bridge, their home for many years.
Road Commissioner Dustin has had a
force OF men busy the past week in clean
ing up and removing the loose soil on the
village reefs aud the rubbish and litter
thatSalways collect in the streets and in
the cutters. Mr.. Dustin suggests that il
the citizens OF the village will arrange
with him they can put up suitable recep-
tacles at different points along the streets
in which litter OF many kinds can be
thrown and kept out of the street and he
will arrange for the removal OF the con-
tents of these receptacIes at regular inter-
walls. This seems to be a very good idea
and IL carried out will do much towards
keeping the streets looking decent this
summer. A receptacle for this purpose
was kept last summer in front OF the
Courier office and many odds and ends
found their way into it.
The White River Railroad Co. has
offered some substantial prizes for potato
raising the coming season. 1t has had an
expert here looking over the soil and he
declared that there was no reason why
the White River valley should not raise /
potatoes as well as Aroostook county in
Maine. The object of the road is of
course long sighted and it hopes to build 1
mp large traffic in sending potatoes from /
his section TO the markets. It offers a /
prize Of $50 in gold for the best half acre /
IF potatoes raised in 1910 and other prizes |
IF $40, S5 and IS and an AspinwaIl potato /
