Musicians Lose.

great quantity of music which was his
own property and the drummer lost
all OF his instruments.

The Hyde Park
Savings Bank
IT'S PHENOMENAL GROWTH

The Hyde Park Savings Bank
offers to depositors that first and
most important of all essentials,
absolute safety.
That this fact is fully under
stood by an appreciative public is
shown by its phenomenal and al
most unprecedented growth.
The following table shows ex-
actly the amount of that growth:
July 1, 1889, deposits, S 55,451.40
July l, 1895, deposits, 375,074.00
July l, 1901, deposits, 603,071.73
July l, 1907 deposits, S44,15S.34
July /, 1912, deposits, 2,225,574.37
Note that in the five years from
July 1, 1907 to July 1, 1912, the
gain in deposits was $1,3S1 ,416.03.
This means that the net deposits
have exceeded the Withdrawals by
5000 per day for every day except
Sundays and legal holidays during
the past five years.
The depositing public evidently
have great faith in the integrity,
conservatism and business sagac-
ity of the managers of this thrifty
Vermont institution.

posts, little or big, and pays all
taxes.

T0WNSHEND
Autumnal Beauties.

The summer visitors are nearly all
gone from the homes of our town. The
Merrifeds and Miss Carrie Farrar are
still at the Inn, which under the new
management is prepared to render salts
factory service to all corners. The past
week has been one of the most delight
full periods in all the season and for
those who have an eye for beauty and a
love of nature 1t seems too bad to leave
Vermont before the season of ripening
leaves, for never in all the year is there
so much variety, and pleasing change
fulness, and charming landscape beauty
as in the first half of October. Towns
bend people feel that there is no place
in the West river valley, or even in
Vermont, where the foliage presents a
brighter picture than in and around our
picturesque town. This season the color
ing has been especially rich. Many spots
might be mentioned as representing truly
the artists dream, but lone there is
above all Others" which has attracted
the attention of both the townspeope and
the stranger passing through, and which
has made everybody who has looked upon
it wish he was an artist. 1t is the beau
tiful glen on the farms of Judge E. l..
Hastings, east of the road from the vii
lage to the railroad station 1t contains
nearly 100 young rock maple trees of
less than 40 years growth along the
banks of Mill brook, a few birches and
beech trees adding to the view sufficient
variety to break any suggestion of mo-
notony, while just across the narrow val
ley on the side of Peaked mountain the
evergreen trees-pine, spruce, hemlock
and cedar-make a background which
brings out in striking contrast the bril-
liant colors of the naples. The sugar
grove itself had at one time almost every
shade known in forest leaf colors, the
pure green of the uncolored leaf, the
golden green of the first changing leaves,
the soft yellow of some entire trees, the
variagated greenland yellow and red, and
the bright crimson of the tops Of most
of the trees with the darker red, and
the bronze green of some whole trees
among the naples, made picture which
none of us will try hard to erase.
Tell your friends to stay next year
through October
