Fred N. Whitney.

In the death of Fred \. Whitney
editor and publisher of the Mortified
News, the Vermont press has lost one
Of its most faithful members and the
public has lost one of the most loyal
and progressive champions of Vermont
in this generation. Mr.. Whitney stood
for the clean things of life and the
most energetic and ambitious things of
life. He will long be missed by his
brethren. because he was a wheel-horse
among them and always trusted as a
worker, and an honest man who served
his craft with the same fidelity that
he served the public good, and served
each and both with one eye single to
conscientious discharge of the obliga-
tons of a good citizen and an honest
man.-St. Adams Messenger.
