ir Stillson had had one of the long
st newspaper experiences in Yer
1ont, first with the Rutland Herald
nd next with the Bennington Banner,
rom the latter of which he disassociat
d himself some ten years back. An
ther fact brought to mind by the
cath of Mr.. Stillson is that the pres
mt active force in newspaper making
n Vermont is composed almost entire
y of young men, or young middle-aged
