The Lamoille County Savings Bank &
Trust Company of Hyde Park, Vermont,
will receive your deposits on the most
favorable terms consistent with safe and
conservative banking.
Among the many reasons why you may
properly give this bank the preference in
choosing place for depositing your saw
ings it suggests the following =
FIRST.-The Bank is Vermont insti-
tuition. Aside from its deposits in reserve
cities, it has never loaned dollar upon
notes which were not either secured upon
Vermont property or had strong YER
mont guarantor.
SECOND.-In its more than twenty
two years of existence it has been so
painstaking, conservative and careful in
the investment of funds placed within its
keeping by a confding public that it has
never lost single dollar by bad note.
THIRD.-It pays four per cent. inter-
est, compounds semi annually without
action on the part of the depositor, and
pays all taxes on deposits, whatever the
amount of the deposit may be.
FOURTH. - Its managers are men
known to the people of the State as ul-
ira conservative in matters of invest
ments-men who never speculate on Wall
Street or own speculative stocks of any
| kind.
FIFTH.-Absolute safety and not those
high ratesYof interest which can be Sc
cured by taking chances, has ever been
the guiding principle of this bank. 1t
never owned a note upon which it re-
ceived more than six per cent interest.
SIXTH. 1t has now passed the
Two Million Dollar mark in assets, a
fact which speaks louder than words of
the faith and confidence felt by the peo-
pie of Vermont in this strictly home Saw
ings Bank. No other Savings Bank To-
Gated in a small village like Hyde Park,
approaches the Hyde Park Savings Bank
=, in growth, a fact which cannot be ex-
planned upon any other theory than that
| of absolute confidence in the painstaking
watchfulness and sound judgment of the
men who direct and govern in the in
vestment of the funds entrusted to its
| keeping by discriminating public.

tober 10, 1861, was fought the battle of
Cedar Creek, twenty miles from Win
chester, Virginia, one Of the most noted
of the war, during part of which bat
tie, after the wounding Of Major Mead,
Capt. Mcfarland commanded the regl-
ment The e. perience Of the Eighth YER
mont in this battle was one of the most
sanguinary OF the war Out OF total OF
one hundred sixty,four men engaged, in
less than an hour of the early morning OF
! that terrible day, the regiment lost one
! hundred and ten men killed, wounded or
prisoners, and thirteen out Of sixteen
commissioned officers. This percentage
ofloss was but once equalled by any Yer
mont regiment during the war.
Capt. Mcfarland was a man of indom-
liable energy and great public spirit. No
sacrifice was too great for him to make
either of his means or personal effort
where the betterment of his town and
village were concerned. Whatever his
business ventures, in their planning he
never lost sight of what in his judgment
would contribute to the building up OF
his town, the betterment and beautity
ing of his village.
On his return from the army in the
summer of 1865, with his customary en-.
ergy and public spirit, he undertook the
rebuilding of the places made waste dur
ing the terrible years of the war
In 1860 the leading industry of the
village, the wooden mill of Herren &
Wells, burned and during the war there
was hardly wheel turning by the wa
tiers of North Branch. Capt. Mcfarland
undertook a change. He put new life
into the sash, door and blind shop and
other dormant industries. He started a
tannery. He was largely Instrumental
in bringing to the village the manuiac-
ture of axes and other edged tools. He
aided materially in re-equipping the va
cant wooden MILL only to be severely
crippled by the loss of large quantity
of manufactured product in the Boston
fire of 1871.
In later years Capt. Mcfarland neces-
sarily has been less active IN business
affairs than formerly, b It he did not lose
his interest in the public good.
Realizing few years since, the neglect
into which the village cemetery was fall
ing, he contributed fund looking to its
betterment. Others have generously

"What's in a name ?" Considerable it
would seem down Evarts- Hartland way.
The old-time name, North Hartland, has
been changed to Evarts by the post
al authorities, notwithstanding great
local protest, and now the "natives"
have sasked President Taft to take a
hand in the matter and have the old
time name restored. 1t seems to us that
"Evarts" is a better name than North
Hartland, and as it is the name of one
who is doing lots of good things for
Vermont, besides being a most worthy
and honorable name Of national repute,
that the people down that way make a
mistake in refusing to put up with it.

President Taft's suggestion of an I'M
conditional treaty between Great Britain
and the United States that the two ma
tons could not go to war against each
other on any pretext is well received on
both sides of the Atlantic. The two
great English-spealzing nations have
dwelt in peace for hundred years and
another war between them is improb'
able. Still it would set good example

cause of international peace If Gre at

themselves to send all their differences
