Buylege Not a Fake.

A number of good people on both
sides of the Delaware were unnces-
sarlly exercised last week over the
report that takers were travelling
about the two towns trying to rob
unsuspecting housewives of their
gold trading stamps, by giving them
Buylege tickets in exchange.
The mere fact that the Buylege
ad was carried in the Record and
News is guarantee sufficient that
the concern is not fake. as we do
not have to resort to the acceptance
of questionable business to exc out
our existence, thanks to the patron
age of our friends.
Whether Buylege is inferior to or
superior to trading stamps is a
matter of personal opinion, but
there can be no doubt that con-
Quoting a small grocery store or two
is not sufficient basis for spreading
broadcast the assertion that an in
stitution is a fake, simply because
it is boosting somebody else's bust
ness.
If there has been any lying done
it will be easy to ascertain the
indemnity of the guilty parties by
consulting people who have already
secured Buylege tickets and ex-
changed them for good cash.

A Big Proposition.

Our most esteemed neighbor, the
Lambertville Beacon, has undertaken
a monumental task, the successful
accomplishment of which it would
be almost too much to expect us to
hope for.
Between purifying the Trenton
Times correspondent from Lambert
vile, and saving innocent housewives
from collecting Buylege tickets, it
has duty before it that might well
stump the mightiest paper in the
land. A short time ago it said that
the aforesaid Times correspondent
ought to have his lies crammed
down his throat" and last week it
grieves over the way he lied about
the mayor of the city. The mere
fact that the aforesaid Times cor
respondent is the editor of this
paper, and he has never sent an
article to that paper that he could
not prove beyond question is of small
consequence.
The combined task is one in which
we can extend Brother Hazen our
sincere sympathy, although warning
him that it need be no reflection
upon his personal ability if he hope
lessly fails in what must appear to
him most laudable undertaking.

LEAGUE MEETING
Report of superintendent Full of Good
Cheer, Despite Defeat in Recent Ref
erendum Vote

The annual meeting of the Vermont
Anti-Saloon league was held at the
headquarters in Burlington Monday
with large attendance of the 80
members of the board of trustees.
The feature of the meeting was the
annual report of the superintendent,
Rev. Clifford II. Smith, who has made
good y, even if he didn't win out in
the recent referendum fight. Mr. Smith
in his report said in part: "The league
has had great year, a year of
gratifying financial support, of har-
monious cooperation with other temper
ance organizations in the state, OF
varied and unusual activities and of a
final smashing defeat from which.
nevertheless, some crumbs of comfort
may be extracted. Like st. Paul we
are cast down but not in despair. ;
The total membership on the board Of
trustees is 81. Five have left the
state, Rev. +. p. Stevens of Rutland,
Rev. G. II. Holt of Barre, Rev. f. f..
Phillips of st. Johnsbury, II. o. Wheel.

ton. The cash receipts during the year
were $5,62l.53, about $500 less than
during the previous year. The expen
ditures were $5,507, about $40 less
than the previous year. The superin-
tendents and assistants made IS ad,
dresses to 900 people,
Mr.. Smith concluded by stating that
evidently Vermont is still against the
saloon, for the majority against license
is nearly if not quite as large as in the
year before.

Destruction of Boyden Building.

The Boyden building in West Town
shend, which was burned Sunday, was
owned by G. d. Boyden and sister
Mrs. H. F. Howard, of this village.
Being in poor health Mr.. Boyden had
returned to his home here early Satur-
day afternoon, leaving the store in
charge of Charles Boynton of the west
village. A telephone call at 2 am.
aroused II. F. Howard and he, with Mr.,
Boyden and Mrs. Howard, drove
quickly to the other village, to find
the building entirely destroyed. The
building was a long two-and -a-half
story structure and its position in tho
center of the village doubtless would
have proven disastrous to the surround
ing houses had there been a breath of
wind. Fortunately the night was UNI
usually still and the heavy snow on the
roofs aided i'll saving surrounding prop
erty.
1t is not known how the fire started,
Mr.. Hadlock was awakened by his
little daughter in the night, and as he
smelled smoke he investigated and dis
covered the ridge pole in flames at the
east end, the fire quickly running along
the entire roof. In closing the store
at night Mr. Bovnton had beeen ex-
tremeiy careful that the fire was left
safely, and there was but little in the
stove. He even went to the second
story to make sure that all was safe
to leave over Sunday. A long attic ex-
tended the length of the main part of
the building and it is possible that a
spark from one of the chimneys may
have smouidered there
Both store stock and building were
insured, though much below their
actual value.

The Late Col. Henry F. Dutton.

The body of Col. Henry F. Dutton,
10, of Gainesville, Fla, was brought to
this village Friday evening and placed
in the tomb Saturday morning to await
burial in lakewood Cemetery in the
spring.
Col Dutton first came to this vii.
iage i'll the fifties from Ludlow and
became teacher in Leland and Gray
seminary, holding the position several
years. At the outbreak of the Civil
War he was active in recruiting the
men of Company H., 18th Vermont regi
ment, assisted by A. b. Franklin, w.
II. II. Holton, S. E. Howard and W..
II. Smith. This company was organ
lied Jan. H. 1862, with the following
officers: Captain, Henry F. Dutton; LIST
Lieut.. Alvin b. Franklin; End Lieut..
w. II. II. Holton. While in quarters
at Camp Holbrook III Brattleboro, Mr..
Dutton married Miss Kate Kathan of
Townshend, who remained, during the
war at the home of her parents in
Harmonyville. Company II. left the
state for active service March 4, 1862,
and from this date until he was honor
ably discharged, Nov. 16, 1864, for
wounds received in action at Winches-
ter, Va, Mr.. Dutton was repeatedly
commended for brave and gallant ser
vice. At the battle of the gunboat
Cotton Capt. Dutton, with company
of 60 picked men, rendered valuable
service and was shortly afterward pro-
noted to the Office of major for CHS
distinguished services rendered. Oh
Dee. %, 1868, he was again promoted,
attaining the rank of lieutenant colo.
mel. In the story of the Sth Vermont
by Carpenter, Mr.. Dutton is mentioned
as follows:
"Lieut.-Col. Henry F. Dutton, one of
the most efficient and popular officers
in the Sth VT. Reg, entered the SER
vice as captain of Co. H., and having
an active, welldisciplined mind he soon
made himself master of the situation
and was equal to any emergency
whether in camp or under fire. He was
one of the best field officers in the bri-
gade and could move q regiment in
battle with the same ease as when on
parade. For valiant service as com
mander of the picked detachment at
the destruction of the gunboat Cotton
he was complimented by Col. Thomas
in his report made to the adjutant gen
eral of Vermont.
At the close of the war Col. Dutton
and wife made their home for some
time at Beaufort, S. c., where he
laid the foundation for a large for
tune in exporting phosphate rock to
European countries, making many
trips across the Atlantic each year in
the interest of this business. He af-
forwards moved to GAINESVILLE, Fla,
4, l., 4
entail business man.
Through all the years the family
has kept the Kathan house in Har-
monyville as summer home, Mrs
Dutton spending the summers here
and Col. Dutton as many months as
his business would allow. Owing to
his i'll health the family did not come
north the past summer and many let
ters to friends mentioned his increas-
ing feebleness.
Col Dutton leaves, beside his wife,
one son, Henry Dutton, jr., and one
grandchild.
