Ex-Gov. Proctor Ill.

The friends of Ex-Governor
Fletcher D. Proctor throughout Yer
mont and the country will feel great
concern over his present illness and
will pray for his early recovery.
The latter seems to be assured if this
indefatigable and hitherto tireless
captain of industry will take COM
pIete rest from work for time.
Perhaps no man in New England
has worked harder in the past thir-
ty years than the head of Yer
mont's greatest manufacturing en-
terprise, or has mastered more COM
pletely the uttermost details of a
great business with almost innum-
cradle ramifications and CONNER
cial branches. IF one man in YER
mont more than another has earned
a good rest from practically unin-
termittent toll that man is Ex-Gov-
ernor Proctor.-[ Rutland News.

The Fourth Annual Nolan Reunion
Held in A. w. McLam's Grove.

The Fourth Annual Nolan Reunion
Held in A. w. McLam's Grove.
The fourth annual reunion of the
McLams was held August "a in the
beautiful grove, where it was held
two years ago, at the home of A. w.
Nolan in Ryegate. The day was
all that could be desired and the at
tendance very large. These gather
ings are becoming more of an at
traction each year and the interest
in them continues to increase show
ing the wisdom and thoughtfulness
of Ex.-Gov. Rollins of New Hamp-
shire in first suggesting and intro
ducing the idea of Old Home Week
obseryances. Much credit is due the
committee of arrangements who
looked after all details with
thoughtful care. A table nearly
100 feet long was prepared with
convenient seats. The table
adorned with flowers and loaded
with an abundance of good things
to eat. Grace was said by Rev. Mr..
McKirahan of Ryegate after which
all partook of the bountiful dinner
including baked beans, sandwiches,
tea and coffee, pies, cookies, dough-
nuts, ice cream, cake, candy, etc.
The after-dinner exercises were in
Home, which recalled many tender
thoughts in the minds of those who
have been long away from the old
home and had returned to enjoy the
festivities of the occasion. A. w.
Nolan acted as POSTMASTER, intro
ducing the several speakers in his
of Topsham who spoke of the large
usual witty manner. The first
speaker was Hon. James R. Nolan
number who were descendants of
John and Catharine Nolan, who
came to this country from Scot
land. The next speaker was Walter
T. Nolan of Concord, n. H., who
expressed his pleasure in being
present at another reunion and
spoke of the beauties and advantag-
es of Vermont, his native state, and
also expressed his loyalty for the
Old Granite state, the state of his
adoption. John A. Nolan was next
introduced and spoke of the glory
and greatness of our country and
its many advantages. F. H. White
was presented as not being strictly
speaking a Nolan, but one who was
perhaps ruled by Nolan. In his
remarks which were witty and
amusing, he admitted that he was
ruled by a Nolan. Rev. ]. A. Nc
kirahan spoke in his usual happy
manner and told many stories. Rev.
D. G. Faris related several anec-
dotes of his boyhood days and call
ed attention to the fact that while
it is a good thing to point with pride
to our ancestors it is more import
ant what we are ourselves. A res
olution introduced by Rev. Mr.. Nc
kirahan was unanimously adopted
conveying to w. T. Nolan. through
whose efforts these reunions were
begun, the sympathy of all and ex-
pressing the earnest hope that
his health may be greatly improved
by his stay in the TAR west A cor
