scenes which have marked epochs in
local history. But there is another
excellent way of calling to mind the
progress of the past $50 years and. that
is by considering the utensils common
in the days of the Grants" and un-
known to the hands of the present
generation; by comparing the town
plans and maps, the pictures, deeds,
and documents of our ancestors with
those we have today, and by reciting
the stories of the early settlers. What
better place in which to hold such an
exhibition than the town library? And
if that library has an unbroken file of
town reports, has collected anniversary
numbers of the local paper, printed
reports of dedications of public build
ngs and pictures of the early settlers,
it already has valuable collection. If
not, it may then invite loan collections
belonging to societies or to individuals.
The Fletcher Memorial library will
celebrate the anniversary of the grant
ing of Ludow's charter by exhibiting
its own collection of maps, pictures,
town histories, and Vermont imprints.
The library has invited the Daughters
of the American Revolution and the
Hibernian society to assist in placing a
loan collection of pictures, utensils,
relics, ETC., in the library. The officers
of these associations will assist the
librarian in explaining the exhibit to
visitors during the days of celebration.
Typewriter copies of the stories of
the pioneers, as given by the present
oldest inhabitants of the town, will be
made and kept on file in the library for
use on similar occasions.
The Board of Library commissioners,
Room Is, the State House, Montpelier,
Vermont, would be very glad to have
reports from different towns through
out the State to the effect that such
library celebrations had been quite gen
eral.

Sportsmen in this section will be glad
to know that the state fish hatchery at
Roxbury is undergoing extensive re-
pairs, the idea of Commissioner Tit
comb being to greatly increase the num-
Der of trout available for stocking YER
mont streams next season. The num-
Der of fish sent out from the hatchery
this year was greatly in excess of
former years but the supply is not yet
nearly equal to the demand. The drouth
of the past two summers has wrought
havoc in most of the trout streams in
the state and unless a systematic effort
to replenish them is made there is
little likelihood that they will continue
to furnish ything like the sport they
have in the past. Windham county
sportsmen should bear this fact in mind
and plan to make application for fish
early next spring. - Brattleboro Re-
former.
1t might be well for Addison county
fishermen to note the above advice and
get an early supply. This county is one
of the best trout sections in the state
and should be thoroughly stocked each
year and protected according to law.

Twenty-Five years he ran on car be-

this remarkable career never lost a

1875, 600 miles. He was placed on the
retired list eight years previous to his
death, and never required to do any
more street car work; yet his last days
were not spent in idleness, as he was
soon mustered into service, doing in
door work in our large stable on West

about the stable a large feed-trough
from which other horses were fed.
Billy took great interest in his new

ORDINANCE FOR
 AIR BRAKE CARS
WILL BE INTRODUCED IN CITY COUNCIL NEXT MEETING BY
 AIDE RMAN M'LAUGHLiN.
Similar Legislation Had Been Initiat- ed In the General Assembly but
 Had Failed of Passage.

An ordinance providing that ali
 electric cars operated in the City or
 Hot Springs shall be equipped with
 air brakes, will be introduced in the lciiy council by Alderman Mclaughlin
 at the next regular meeting.
 The ordinance is an echo Of the accidental killing of Mrs. Mary Bur 1 ton by a street car on Wilmington avenue last Sunday night. It IS claimed by many that mad the car
 been equipped with air brakes the
 peeident could have been avoided. IA law which applied particularly To Garland county and Hot Springs, anu providing that all cars here should be equipped with air brakes, was pre- sented in the last legislative session Iby Representative Wilmington anu IMchaughnn, but it was urged agalnst the passage of the act that 1t would require a widening of all the tracks in the city, and very large expense,
 which the car company was not in | position to make at that time.
 The bill was withdrawn, after many conferences on the suDiect.
 That the city council has the right lie regulate its public utilities servlce Is conceded, but just how eer it may go is another question. It is claim ed ny advocates of the measure that
 he council is in rull authority to en-
 force any rate which Will be in the
