James Eaton's Apartment House Destroyed

At about seven o'clock Monday even
ing Andrew Cowan, who lived in the
west end of the James Eaton house on
| Prospect Avenue, discovered fire in the
wall where his cook stove set. He called
his neighbor, Mr.. Eaton, and they en-
deavored to extinguish the same. So far
advanced, however, had the flames got
that the pals OF water they poured on
had no effect and an alarm of fire was
given. 1t was but very few minutes
before the fire department had a stream
on the building. and 1t seemed that it
would be but matter of a short time
to extinguish the flames. However the
blaze had got well along in the partition
and gained fast upon the firemen, who
were unable to get at the seat of the fire.
A second stream was played upon the
flames, but of no avail and it was not
long before II was seen that the building
was doomed
Efforts were then made to save the shed
and barn on he west side of the building,
which was done by long and heoric
fighting. The removal ot the furniture
from Mr.. Eaton's apartments was also
taken up and about all of that on the
more or less damaged in transit. 1t was
impossible to save anything from Mr..
Cowan's apartments or from Ohm WIld's
rooms on the upper east side of the
building. Cowan lost nearly every thing,
Wild saved "a couple of chairs, his Sun
day clothes and his bank book" In a
short time what was once commodicus
and comfortable home for three families
was in ashes.
The house was two story building of
brick veneer and was erected some forty
years ago by the late Chas, Crane. The
brick was from a house erected many
years ago by the late Major Hyde on the
farm now owned by Gavin Tyndall. Mr..
Crane took down this building and from
the material erected this comfortable and
substantial building. Mr.. Crane sold it
years afterwards to the late Arc Slayton'
who made many repairs upon the ex
terror and interior and lived there until
he died. 1t was then sold to L. S. Girls
void and Palmer Blake, who lived there
awhile and then it passed into the hands
of James Eaton, who made further i'm
provements upon the same.
The loss. including building and con.
tents, is estimated at about $4,000. Mr..
Eaton had 81, 500 on the building and
$500 on his household effects. Cowan
had no insurance and Wild but a small
amount.
The recent fall of snow was a god-send
in that it covered the roofs of nearby
buildings, preventing the flying sparks
from setting fire to the same.
Mr.. Eaton has moved into the Gushing
Nichols cottage, Mr. Cowan may go into
apartments in the "Farm. r's Exchange"
and Mr. and Mrs. Wind are boarding at
Cbas. Gregg's.
This is the first serious conhagration
we have had since the big fire FIVE years
ago. 1t is a serious loss to the village.
The 6remen worked hard and their la
bors prevented the flames spreading to
other buildings.

A Savings Bank Milestone

January 31st. 18S9-26 years
ago-the Lamoille County Saw
ings Rank and Trust Company
! was organized.
J Iosay thatin matter ofgrowth
this institution has oi1t-run everv-
thing everywhere in the line of
village savings banks is to state
a truth which Vermonters every
where are pleased to talk about.
One OF the large banks of
Toronto, Ontario, has recently
written one Of the officials of the
Hyde Park bank expressing it's
curiosity to know chow the
thing was done" Indeed, bank
ers not only in Vermont and
Ontario but elsewhere have been
simply amazed at the growth of
this bank. They can't see how
1t were possible for a little coun-
try village with a population of
only 423 to show a growth that
has placed the bank so far ahead
of all competitors occupying a
similar position as to make it
unique, unprecedented and nota-
BILE as the largest bank in the
world in a country village.
The answer is simple and one
word tells the story;-that word
is CONFIDENCE.
The people not only of Hyde
Park. and Lamoille County but
of Vermont generally, from Mas
sachusetts to Canada line, from
the Connecticut River to Lake
Champlain, have come to talk of
the phenomenal growth of the
Hyde Park Bank and were you
to ask Vermonters why they
made their deposits in the Hyde
Park Bank instead of elsewhere,
they would tell you substantially
this: We know the men who
manage that bank; we know they
are painstaking, cautious and
conservative; we know that the
allurements of all those get-rich-
quick schemes which so often
tempt men to sacrifice safety to
principal for highrates ofinterest,
have never captivated the man
ayers of the Hyde Park Bank.
Money is timid and easily
scared; it is notorious that upon
the slightest provocation it goes
into hiding, but once let the pub
lie be assured that everything
about a Bank is perfectly safe
ana they pour their savings into
it without stint.
1t is perfectly safe to send mon
ey to this Bank, either by personal
or bank check, registered letter,
orpostal or express money order.
In its more than twenty-six
years of existence not penny
sent to it by mail was ever lost.
The Hyde Park Bank pays the
taxes on all deposits, large or
small.
If you wish to know as to the
assets, liabilities, surplus, ETC., of
this Bank, ali you have to do is
to write to the President, Carroll
S. Page, or the Treasurer, F. NJ.
Culver, Hyde Park, VT, and you

Before you begin your heavenly climb

To bring those tear-drops to your eye.
