What Was Happening 80
Years Ago

Mr. l.. F. Moreau. formerly of Is
land Pond, has been appointed ticket
seller and freight agent at Vance
bOro, Me-, and to transact all bust
ness for the Maine Central Railroad
at that station required by the
customs regulations of the United
States and New Brunswick.
John Lyon, a recent employee On
the G. 7. R., is brakeman on the
Hoosac Tunnel Line between Boston
and Fitchburg.
AS B. M. Dale was riding out with
his wife and grandson the other even
ing, pistol was fired off in too close
proximity to them to be anything
but pleasant. The bullet went
through the back of the sleigh and
lodged in the front part of the seat.
Such careless handling of firearms
cannot be too severly condemned.
We regret to say that M. 7. Moo
nan, baggage man between this
place and Portland, lies dangerously
i'll at his home in Gorham, N. H.
Quite merry party of our young
people went out to West Charleston
last Saturday intending to return
the same day, but the slight thaw
somewhat interfered with their plans
by rendering the roads we'll nigh i'm
passable, thus compelling them to
remain there until Sunday. Despite
this inconvenience they greatly en-
| joyed themselves.
The Newport National Bank has
declared a semi-annual dividend of
three and one-half per cent, payable
February /.
Last Tuesday morning lamp in
the G. 7. r. ticket office exploded
setting fire to the ticket cabinet and
some furniture. Owing to the
prompt, and energetic action of the
ticket agent, Mr.. w. B. Causebrook
the fire was kept within bounds and
soon eXtinguished. Loss trifing.
Some of our citizens are taking in
the Winter Carnival at Montr this
week. -- .

FRIDAY, JANUARY 81, 1913
Is There a Library in Your
Town?

The State is willing to give you
500 worth of books for that purpose
if YOUR town will comply with the
conditions required by law, which
are as follows-First see that these
articles are inserted in the warning
for the coming town meeting:
l. To see if the town will elect a
board of 5 library trustees and
instruct such board to make
application to the State Board
of Library Commissioners for
State aid.
2. To see what sum, if any, the
town will appropriate for the
maintenance of a free public
library.
If the grand list of your town is
less than $500, the sum must not be
less than SIS.
If the grand list is more than $25OO
yet less than $4,000, the sum to be
appropriated must not be less than
$25.
If the grand list is $4,000 or more,
the sum to be raised must not be less
than $50. Many towns show their
desire for civic improvement by rails
ing much higher sums than the State
requires of them.
The State of Vermont recognizes
that Free Public Library is neces-
sary to the education of it's children
and the development of its people in
the same manner as the free school.
A free public library owned and
controlled by the town has a fixed
income, and is not dependent upon
spasmodic attempts to increase its
funds. 1t can be made of practical
use in connection with the schools,
or in the education of those who have
been unable to have a full school
course, and a pleasure, profit and aid
to the entire community.
In many of our larger towns and
cities, private enterprises and benevo.
lences have supplied advantages anC
opportunities, which have tempted
ambitious and intelligent scholars
from towns and homes which coulC
i'll afford to spare them. No towr
in Vermont can afford to have the
name of depriving its boys and girl:
of the culture and inspiration to be
found ina free library. No town car
afford to be reported to the State
and country as too niggardly to CO.
operate with the State for the bene.
fit of its own children.
If further information is desired
any member of the Library Com
mission or it's secretary will be glac
to furnish it.

OIL. EVIDENCES OF DEBT
New System Goes Into Effect Of FIJI
Ing Chattel Mortgages and Con-
tracts With Register Of Deeds.

The new law requiring chattle
mortgages, land contracts, etc, to be
filed at the Register Of Deeds Office
at the county seat instead Of with
various town and village clerks went
into effect July /. Register Of Deeds
.Olof Dale has been overwhelmed
with the instruments filed for rec
ord in the thirty odd divisions in the
county and brought in yesterday by
the town clerks and village record
ers. Some Of these brought in not
only the live instruments filed dur
ing the last few years, but all the
accumulations since the organiza
tons Of the towns, running in some
cases up towards five thousand. AS
matter Of fact, but few chattel
mortgages have ever been properly
withdrawn after being paid and sat
isfed, but have been allowed to &C
emulate and bear witness Of the
past financial difficulties Of the MAX
ers. -. "a ...,.-5.. ~ T.. .-.-
The new system will no doubt be
an improvement over the old in
many respects. All the clerks we
talked with seemed to be pleased to
be relieved Of the trouble Of filing
these instruments, which often times
was more trouble than the small fee
would pay. .-. @
The register Of deeds will receive
the same fees as have the towr
clerks cents for fling and 25
cents for satisfactions. Register Of
Deeds Dale will have difficulty to fine
room for this new department il
