The official announcement that the
marriage of President Wilson and
Mrs. Gault will take place the latter
part of December sets at rest many
rumors in regard to the approaching
ceremony. In this connection it is
interesting to note that while the

The visit on BENNINGTON and VIII

The visit OF Bennington and WIZ
mington business men to Brattleboro
has greatly stimulated interest in
the road over the mountain from
Bennington to Brattleboro, The
scenic value of this road is easily SUI
perior to the Mohawk trail but in or
der to advertise it properly those
most interested think it desirable to
have an attractive name for the
route. The Brattleboro Reformer
suggests that it be called the Ethan
Allen Trail or Ethan Allen Highway.
Secretary James p. Taylor of the
Greater Vermont Association in his
remarks at Brattleboro proposed that
inasmuch as it would connect Ben
nngton and Brattleboro, with Will
mington as the halfway point, it be
called the Double B-Double u route.
Any one of these names might be
satisfactory unless a better can be
found. but there are those who think
it would be possible to suggest bet
ter title. President w. II. Nichols
invites any one who has a good title
to suggest for the proposed highway
that they send it to him or to the
secretary of the Board of Trade
This is a good chance for some of the
bright minds of southern Vermont
for the advertising value of a good
name is not to be dispised

Last year i'm this section potatoes
We're verify a drug in the market and
could not be sold for enough to pay
cost of growing. This year potatoes
range in value in various Vermont
markets from 75c. to S1.00 per bushel
and the supply is limited The man
who got Discouraged last year and
failed to plant potatoes this season
should realize his error The bust
ness man often buys goods which he
is compelled to sell without profit
and even at loss but he does not
stop buying on that account and the
farmer who persistently raises a
good crop OF potatoes or any other
farm product of general demand is
sure to win out in the long run.

of the county court, is absent from
the city and will not return for sew
Cral days 1t is possible therefore,
that actual business Of the board Will
not be taken up until the latter part
of next week. after which it is the
intention to proceed rapidly.
Sessions of the excise board, which
are annual have ended within week,
while others have required several
months. 1t all depends upon how
promptly the county assessor accom-
pliShes his particular task. The board
is powerless without figures, and
sometimes they are not forthcoming
as readily as they should. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that this year prac-
ucally everything will be ready for
the board as quickly as that body is
prepared to proceed with the busi-
ness before it.
May Increase Levy.
Last years levy on the county's val
uation was 400 mills. This year it
probably will be slightly in excess Of
that figure, as the expense of main
tanning some Of the county offices and
courts has been somewhat increased.
The law provides for a levy not to eX-
Ceed five mills, but there is little in
dication of the excise board being re-
quir'ed to reach this figure for several
years.
Budget About Ready.
Lewis Cline and his assistants have
been engaged on the county budget
for several weeks, and that important
document now is practically ready for
the board. The budget is intended to
convey how much the county actually
will need during the present fiscal
year, and always is instrumental in
speeding the work of making the re-
quired levy.
Assessor Works Hard.
The duties Of the county assessor
at this particular time of the year
probably are the most arduous of all
officials of the courthouse. 1t is for
him TO compile all the figures re-
turned by his assistants and ascertain
from them the exact valuation of
Tulsa county. 1t is predicted that this
year's valuation will approximately be
$50, 100000, while in 1914 it was less
than fifty-five million dollars.
From these figures it readily may
be seen wherein the county has been
remarkably prosperous, as such valua-
tion increases do not materialize
where business is backward or for
any other reason progress has ceased.
