New School Faculty.

The Versailles school board, at its
meeting Friday night, reelected the
old faculty of teachers, and that with
out application on their part. This
is an endorsement Of our teachers of
the highest kind, a vindication, if
that was needed, that will surely
prove satisfactory to them. Now, il
the board will brighten up the school
buildings by using some new paper,
fresh paint and soap and water, have
the heating apparatus put in shape so
that the rooms Can be kept comfort
able in cold weather, keep the school
ground, what little there is, in decent
shane, and help to give the teachers
a fair show, we will have the best
school Versailles has ever had 4; a gen.
"rai uplift in the management of the
school, and an awakening in the pro-
gress OF the pupils will result. Yer.
S.illes should have the best school il
the county, as good as any of our
neighboring counties, and she vii
have.

WOULD it not be a good idea to

Windler will prove the right man in
the right place.

Was Urged on Barre Granite
Manufacturers Assn.
BY EDITOR H. c. WHITAKER
President Adie and Secretary wishart
Were Elected Delegates to the Ma
tional Retail Monument Dealers
conyention--Plans for Outing

AZ largely attended meeting of the
Granite Manufacturers association, held
at their headquarters in the Averill
block last evening, Henry c. Whitaker
OF Chicago, managing editor of Amer
lean Stone Trade, gave an interesting
and timely talk on uniformity Of prices
among granite manufacturers. His re-
marks were particularly significant since
there is a concerted action on the pars
of retail dealers throughout the coun-
try to persuade the manufacturers to
announce uniform prices for stock.
Mr.. Whitaker urged the local man
ufaeturers to get together and make
plans for uniformity and cited several
instances where retail dealers had advo-
Gated the idea. At the last convention
of the Pennsylvania Retail Monument
Dealers association, a resolution was
passed, requesting the manufacturers to
adopt uniform prices and to practice
them in their business relations with
the association. Mr. Whitaker expressed
a belief that immeasurable benefits
would accrue to the manufacturers as
well as the dealers. In discussing the
granite situation, he said, no more inn
portant issue faces the dealers and
manufacturers alike than this that q
uniform scale of prices should be adopt
ed to regulate the trade
Following the remarks by Mr.. Whit
aker, the regular routine business of
the meeting was transacted James Adie
and Charles Wishart, president and Sec
retary, respectively of the association,
were chosen to attend the National Re-
tail Monument Dealers convention to be
held in Cincinnati during the latter parc
OF August
The question of holding the annual
outing of the association during the
summer was brought up and came in
for some discussion, The sentiment of
the meeting seemed to be that the pro-
posed outing should include boatridc
on Lake Champlain. A committee con-
sisting of James r. Marion and John
Nicholson Of this city, and j. S. Haley
of Montpelier, was appointed to arrange
for the time and place of the outing

to drop part way down At that the
horse began to jump and run, making
the wagon slide over the pavement in
a perilous manner.
With Mr.. Thompson were his wife and
their little child, the latter being held
by Mrs. Thompson. The horse yanked
the light wagon around. and il barely
missed hitting an electric light pole III

cause of the broken harness, Mr.. Thomp-
son was unable TO stop the horse. and
II looked as if all three occupants might
be thrown onto the pavement, but the
driver eung pluckily to the reins. while
Mrs. Thompson, shrieking loudly, kept
firm grip ON the child
Just then curbstone interposed it,
self most providentially as Mr.. Thomp-
son. dislodged from his seat, was hurled
to the street. The collision of the
wheels with the curb caused the remain-
ing harness to part, and the horse left
the wagon resting against the park side
walk in front Of the city hall. Mrs,
Thompson and child were assisted from
the wagon. and Mr.. Thompson got on
his feet. unhurt Aside from the fright,
Mrs. Thompson was not hurt either;
nor the child, which didn't even whim-
per after her exciting experience. The
horse was captured up South Main street
and was also unhurt. A broken harness
seemed to be the only damage.
