Officers and Hears Some
Practical Addresses.

The annual meeting of the Gale
donia County Farmers association was
held in Pythian hall yesterday with a
very good attendance, good interest
shown and some very able and inter
esting addresses. A short session was
held in the forenoon, free lunch
served in the hall and the business
speaking came in the afternoon. The
officers for the coming year are
President, w. P. Russell of Kirby.
Vice president, E. G. Bridgeman Of
Hardwick.
Treasurer. J. w. Titcomb of Lyn-
donville.

net, w. A. Simpson of Lyndon, E. H.
Hallett of st. Johnsbury Center, A.
F. Stoddard of Sutton, J. J. Lenton of
Waterford and f.. G. Shaw of
Peacham.
The meeting was called together at
11:4O in Pythian hall by the president
of the association, w. p. Russell of
Kirby. Secretary Harvey Burbank
gave his report stating that the secre-
tary has nothing to do with the money
furnished by the government or COM
ing from the towns in the county in
connection with his work. He re-
ported dues and subscriptions of
$406.22, for spraying $76.25. cash on
hand $3.50 and contribution from
It. N. Vail $4,000. He suggested that
f. A. Darling, who has paid $4,000,
and T. N. Vail, who has contributed
c1on hn
by the club.
There must be at least 200 members
of the association in good standing in
order to get the money from the towns
under the state law. so he suggested
that any man contributing more than
the regular dues of $1.00 put in the
name of other members of his family
for membership in the association.
He thought there should be a def
mite term for the dues the same as
lodges have and that the bylaws of
S1e association should be amended to
allow it, He reported the members by
towns as follows: Barnet SO, Burke 20,
Danville 81, Concord 2, Groton 8.

BIG SCALE MERGER
The Fairbanks, Morse & Co., Pro-
pose To Take Stock Of E. and
7. Fairbanks and Co.

A business deal which may involve
a million and a half dollars was an
nounced last week when a circular
was issued to the stock holders of E
and T. Fairbanks and Co. Offering to
give them three shares of the six per
cent Cumulative Preferred stock of
Fairbanks, Morse & Co. for each
share of the outstanding stock of the
E. & T. Fairbanks and Company.
This means if the offer is acceptedfthe
merging of the two companies and the
combining of the manufacture and
selling departments of the scale busi-
ness under one management which it
is expected will greatly benefit both
departments
The circular containing the offer
also says: eff such an exchange of
stock be consummated, it is the in
tention and expectation of the Com
pany to continue at st. Johnsbury the
manufacture of scales and other ar
ticles, and it will be the aim and eff
fort of this Company to make a ma
terial increase in the outputs there
The fact the present management
has expended such large sums in i'm
provements of the plant makes the
removal of the plant impractical at
present and the promise of the new
company to make material increase
here shows that ST. Johnsbury will not
be deserted by the new concern.
The Fairbanks, Morse and Co. has
been in business over 40 years, has it's
main Office located in the city of Chi
cago, ILL.,, with branch houses in every
center of Importance in the United
States, in London, England, and in
Buenos Ayres, South America, with
it's manufacturing plant at Beloit,
Wis, employing over 1000 men.
1t is not expected there will be any
change in the local management at
present and the business will be con-
Quoted along the same lines as in the
past. except that it will be on a larger
scale.

HOUNDS MANGLED DOE
Deer Killed Within the Village Limit
Sunday Afternoon.

Sunday Afternoon.
A large doe caught in wire
fence was so badly torn and mangled
by four hounds Sunday afternoon that
it was killed by C. L. Harphan and
Ferdinand Townsend to put it out of
its misery. The deer was caught on
the ridge west of the knob and was
probably the first deer to be killed
within the village limits since the
village was incorporated.
The two men were going up on the
knob to enjoy their skis and were at
tracted by the frenzied conditions of
the hounds which ran over the rise
out of sight and rushed back with
blood and flesh around their mouths.
The men followed them and found a
doe that had tried to jump through
an opening in the fence with its body
drawn through to it's hips where it
was unable to move either way. The
hounds had torn the hind quarters
nearly to pieces and the killing Of il
was an act of mercy.

Mr.. Robbie Not A Candidate.

w. H. H. Robie, who has been con-
fined to the house for several months
by illness, has been asked by many
people if he was to be a candidate for
reelection as overseer of the poor,
and announced that owing to his ply
sical condition he would not be.
Mr.. Robie for the past twelve years
has served very faithfully and efficient
lF as overseer of the poor, and, with
out doubt, understands the conditions
among the poor people of the town
better than any other man, but owing
to his illness is unable to accept the
Office for another year. Everyone re-
grets that this is necessary, as they
feel that if he was able to perform
the duties Of the office, no one else
could equal Robfe.

WALL ST. WOULD !
HAVE EUROPEAN !
WAR CONE OEND

Washington. Nov. 27.That wall
street wants the European war to
end. is the opinion OF certain diplo-
mats here today.
Just touch OF timidity" over Sc
curities for vast loans. plus a grow
6ng decrease In munitions contracts,
is said to be responsible for this in
creasing financial desire for peace.
The financiers are said to fear--not
measureably yet. but sufficiently to
stir them--that their loans may be
affected II Europe tries to pile up
more credits while destroying more
lives and property.
This spirit was called the "inspira-
tion" for recent peace talk. notably in
New York. by a high ofiicial today.
According to this oficial. those
holding the view that wall street is
showing restiyeness." claimed to see
encouragement In the recent state
ment In an interview with the Earl OF
Derby. British undersecretary OF
war. that England was willing to
listen to Germany's peace terms.
The present peace agitation, which
diplomats emphasized has its source
in financial circles solely. will in
clude. according to plans. for Presi-
dent Wilson, possibly in cooperation
with European neutrals. to call .
conference. not primarily to discuss
peace. but merely to define objects
for which each side in the great war
Is fighting.
The proposals do not include sug-
sestiona for an armistice. but dipl0-
mats here believe that IL the sug-
gestion is carried through to the
point Of conference of neutrals. an
armistice would be entirely within
possibility's bounds.
