Visit from President Taft.

On Monday our village was dec
grated prettily with flags and other
materials in the national colors in honor
of a visit from President Taft. 1t was
a beautiful summer day, and the COM
mon assumed gala appearance as the
people began to gather soon after noon
from far and near. Many from Will
Evansville were present. County court
In session here adjourned at O'clock
but owing to delay President Taft
and party did not reach Newfane until
later. The weather became threatening
in the afternoon and as the White
House car, with escort stopped before
the court house drops of rain fell.
President Taft was greeted first by
Judge and Mrs. F. NJ Butler and later
by as many as were able in the crowd
to do so. 1t was noticeable that a good
many of the old soldiers were present
to pay their respects to the president
also over so school children. A prom
inent man in our village told him he
was Democrat and knew his grand
father and the President responded
quickly, II am glad to see what a Ver-
mont Democrat is like. SO do 1 re-
member my grandfather and you are
older than t.
He took little Mary Rand in his arms
and kissed her while shaking hands with
the people, and Mrs Taft handed a
beautiful bouquet of sweet peas to be
divided among the women present. AS
his time was limited his remarks were
very brief. Three cheers for President
Taft were given and they went on their
way to the village of Townshend, which
was decorated beautifully for the men,
orable occasion.

Taft Men Lose in California.

President Taft will be without repre-
sentation from California in the cleo
toral college, and not a vote for him can
be cast in the state unless written in
according to a decision by the state su-
preme court under which electors
pledged to him cannot appear on the
November ballot as Republicans.
The issue was presented in the form
of an application by attorneys for the
Taft Republican organization, seeking to
have made permanent an alternative
writ obtained some days ago, directing
Frank G. Jordan, secretary of state, to
designate on the ballot as Republicans
the presidential electors named by the
Taft adherents.
Atty. Gen. Webb, for the secretary of
state, filed a general denial of the ale
cations and demurrer to the petition
He argued that the Republican party of
California was not affiliated with the
national party and was in no wise bound
by the decisions of the Chicago conven-
ton; that the petition of the Taft men
was supported by insufficient evidence,
and that the court lacked jurisdiction.

NEWFANE


George A. Downs, who owns and lives
on the farm which was once the Dan
Tel Fisher place, recently sent to Mrs
Laura (Fisher) Johnson some apples
which grew on a tree that was there
several generations ago, when owned by
eAIlBu IoI 's9lddB 9qL 'sI9QsIA eul
growth were of good size and hne fla
vor. Mrs johnson is the only living de-
scendant in town of that family.
Daniel Fisher once was known as
Corn Fisher, on account of the large
number of bushels Of corn he raised
He was Mrs. Johnson's great-grand-
father and was born in 1852 and came
to Newfane to live in IVA, from Mil
ford, Mass. His wife's name was Han
nah Saddler, of Upton, Mass. When he
came to Newfane to live all the prop
erty he owned was a pair of oxen. There
is a pleasing romance connected with
his trip home after buying the cattle.
When he was passing through the town
of Upton, on the way, his oxen were
thirsty, so was he and he stopped at a
tavern kept by a Mr.. Saddler, and call
ed for a drink of water. The daughter
Of the house answered his call, gave
him a drink of water and showed him
where to water his cattle, after which
he went home. But he was "smitten"
with that girl then and there, and the
consequence was he married her. An
amusing hct was that when Miss Sad
dler saw Mr.. Fisher coming to the door
for that drink of water she jokingly re-
marked to her mother: There comes
my future husband but when Mr..
Fisher came to ask the parents for their
daughter they objected because he had
no property.
They married and settled in Newfane
and he became one of the most prosper
Gus farmers then known, and at the
time of his death in 1920 he owned all
the farms adjoining his, also what Is
now known as the Col Franklin farm,
and was worth 100000, which was a
very large amount for those times.

BLIND CHARLEY GOES AWAY
Bsaanr Takes q WhlrI ~ censy isiss1
and Then Dossn't Dare Return
- Hls Old Corner

New York.-wall street has Just loge
one Of its most interesting and best
known characters. and at the same
time is minus fourishing business.
The character In question 10 known 40
Blind Charley. and the business 10
that OF begging. by which he has 40
cumulated q fortune OF more than
100000.
Kind-hearted brokers, fresh from .
successful turn in the market. have
been cheerful contributors to the bat
tered tin cup OF the blind beggar. and
50 generous have been gifts that there
is apparently no reason why Blind
Charley should not have run his for
tune up to the half-million mark II he
had only used bit OF discretion. The
trouble began when Charley started
out for Coney Island last week. all
dressed up. He looked about as much
Ike beggar as Andrew Carnegie or
John d. Rockefeller might look II they
ever took it in their heads TO give
Coney q whirl The little boy who
led the way had on q new suit and .
bright silk necktie.
They were out for q good time and
they didn't let expense stand in the
way. They rode on the merry-go-
round. bumped the bumps and looped
the loop. and occasionally Charley
would break 4 nve-dollar bin to pur-
chase a bag OF peanuts. Naturally
they attracted a good deal of atten-
ton. People were interested at the
sight Of an old blind man and little
boy doing Coney together.
One man, who on more than one
occasion had dropped dime In Char
ley's battered cup. was so interested
that he notified the police. As q re-
suit the fact was brought to light that
Charley was wealthier than many OF
those who had contributed to his for
tune. and consequently he has disap-
peared from his wonted stand. While
Wall street will miss his queer per
sonality, the sting is made stiil sharp
er by the realization OF many brokers
that they let a man with 100000 In
cold cash invade their stronghold
without ever making a single invest
ment In the securities In which they
