Hiram Benjamin Carpenter, whose
life closed Wednesday, June 9, was
born in Waterbury, VT, Oct. %,
1880, and was the son of Mason and
Fanny Odds Carpenter. When a
child, his parents moved to Barre,
and there he learned his trade-that
of a painter. In 1851 he went to
Highgate to accept a position in a
carriage shop where he remained
eight years.
In 1857 he married Miss Mary
Eliza Mcgowan, and in 1859 came to

so long as health permitted, was a
regular attendant of the church SER

him, praised him. OF very few
men who live IS years can it be said
as it is of him: "He hadn't an enemy
in the world"
Faithfulness was the keynote of his
life, he was faithful to his work, his

AT GLOBE THEATER
Paramount Travel Picture To Show
Every Tuesday

There is scarcely any one who
would not enjoy an eight months
trip through South America, which
is the most wonderful and least
known country in the world. Not
many of us can take such a trip, but
there are few people who do not en-
joy good travel pictures. If the
scenes shown are strange places, the
degree of the observers interest is
according to how much he had read
or heard about them, and how much
he has wanted to see them.
Paramount travel pictures are in
augurated with the hope and aim of
bringing the world, bit by bit, to
those who care to see it. The great
continent south of US was selected
for the initial series because it is one
about which Americans should know
a great deal, but actually know very
little
Every person who sees the entire
South American series will have the
opportunity of gaining an accurate,
and intimate knowl-
edge of the continent.
We take pleasure in announcing
that these wonderful travel pictures
will be shown at the Globe every
Tuesday during the summer months.

Success OF Montpelier Seminary

Another successful commencement
crowns the labors of the new pr1ncl-
pal DR.. J. w Hatch, at Montpelier
Seminary. The school year, the sec
ond of his administration, has been
success. Financially the increased
/ cost of living has been met and the
years bills not only paid but cash
balance shown on the ledger. From
the standpoint of student numbers
the school has lost heavily, AZ grad
uating this year. The ranks VIII De
recruited from the two and three
year high schools and the towns
from which the present student body,
alumni and friends who attended the
banquet at the close of class day
have come. Stirring speeches were
made at this function, stimulating
each guest to send at least one new
student to the seminary for Sep
TENDER IA This is so perfectly
feasible from the many hillside
farms and villages of Vermont that
the expectations of the administra-
ton reach at least the 100 mark
and preparations viii be made at the
dormitories to receive that number.
Perhaps the most striking sign of
a Bigger, better, buster" Seminary
is the fact that at the annual alumni
the president elect, Rev. A.
w. Hewitt, was instructed to appoint
a committee to take under cOnsid-
Grafton the proposition that the
alumni erect a hall upon the cam
put to be known as Alumni Hall,
and that at the banquet a generous
sum of money was pledged toward
that hall by some of the speakers, |
the class of 1915 adding their sur
plus funds to the cause.
