nv Christian graces with which
this goodwoman was adorned for
this would require more gifted
writer than myself, as volumes

traying the good deeds of this no.
BILE woman. Aunt Mary, as she
was Familiarity called, was q true
type of the old South. The writ
er was intimately acquainted
with her for more than half a
century, and can truthfully say
that during all these long years,
he never heard any one speak of
her except in the highest com
mendation. Early in life she
professed faith in Christ and at
tached herself to the Baptist
Church and in which communion
she lived q useful and consistent
member, until God said, 1t is
enough, "Come up higher. "
Aunt Mary was true and devout
christian, a shining exempler of
good works and was possessed OF
all the characteristics peculiar tc
the true Christian. She had a
large circle of acquaintances and
none knew her but to love her
she had no enemies, and heI
friends were measured by the
boundary of her acquaintance
she lived to a good old age, was
SO years old on the Goth, March
last, and on the End instant, al
stated she passed peacefully into
the great beyond. We all mourn
the taking away of this noble
woman, and aside from her neal
relatives and close friends none
grieve more than the writer

MAY ABOLISH POST
Gossip Notes Memphremagog coIIee
torship May Go

During the republican state con
vention a citizen who is connected
with the customs house at Newport
shed some new light on the political
contest which is waging for the col
lectorship of that port, where c. S.
Emery OF Chelsea is still holding the
cratic administrator, says the Mont
pelier Argus.
According to this gentleman there
is prospect that the pot at New
port will be abolished as separat~
port and combined with either Bur
lington or Portland.
A consolidation would probably not
affect the port itself any more than
TO do away with the salaried Office of
collector and few Others who are di
rectly connected with this position
but in the main the force would be
retained. making reports to Durling-
ton or Portland.
II the port is retained, II is argueo,
that it should have jurisdiction down
the line of the railroad through the
Connecticut river valley. AT the pres
ent time its jurisdiction is confined
TO the northern tier of Vermont and
New Hampshire and seizures made
down around Wells River are return
able at Portland.
The fact that the New Hampshire
port has been eliminated also makes
politicians OF the Granite state active
to appoint New Hampshire man 10
the post which likewise complicates
the situation and does not make the
Vermont candidates happy. Senator
Hollis would in that case have con
siderable to say about the appoint
menr
New Hampshire feels that il has an
interest in this port from the fact
that some counties in the northern
part of the state are in this district.
For that reason there is a very great
possibility that the port may pass
through the process of absorption.

VERMONT CEREAL CROP
Corn, Oats and Root Forecast Show
Equally Good Promise

The cereal crops OF Vermont would
appear to be large. according to the
estimates OF the national agricultural
department, published Thursday. OF
ccrn, the forecast is for 100000
bushels is estimated. or about 200,
in 1913. An oat crop OF 100000
bushels is estimated, or about 200.-
coo more than year ago OF hay,
10000 tens are promised.
The c. Of potatoes will aggre-
gate 81. % bushels, it is prophesi-
ed. or St.. more than last yeas-
Apples. the est rate is 2,62O,0Oo bush
els. against o.. 100000 last year
1t is interesting to note how much
greater our agricultural resources
are than those of New Hampshire,
which is but little smaller than Yer
mont and has practically the same
population. Thus Vermont raises a
million more bushels of corn than
New Hampshire. 100000 more bush
els OF oats. and million more bush
els OF potatoes. But it must be ad-
mitted that the New Hampshire crop
OF summer visitors is a good deal
bigger than ours.
Maine in its great northern coun-
~. specializes on potatoes. and the
con this year is estimated at the
amazing total Of S0.4OO,0Oe- bushels or
lust about 10 times the Vermont
crop.
Maine also does a tidy summer
business with tourists and vacation
lists" The industry is Of big impor-
lance 10 the Pine Tree state. II is
