A recent test of the city water shows it to be
pure so far of organic matter is concerned and
that it contains very little mineral matter. OF
the several tests to which our water has been sub
jected not once has germ of any kind been found
therein This is what might be expected because
the water comes from nearly nine hundred feet
down under the rock and no surface water ever
reaches the strata save ony.that which has filtered
through sand for mil and miles perhaps thous-
ands of miles-no one knows how far.

Was Stricken Sunday-Enlisted in
Jamaica in 9th Vermont.

AS the direct result of stroke of
apoplexy last Sunday Eugene l.. Phelps,
a. died at his home, l49 Western
avenue, at $40 Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Phelps health had been gradually
failing along time and on September

Born in Grafton, Mr.. Phelps was a
son of Lewis and Laduska Phelps. For
40 years he lived in Jamaica ana 1t

We are with you heart and .souli

And we want to tell you now, sir, when
you come to call the roll,
You will find that we are with YOU

CHAs. L. GUNzINGER DEAD.
Skilled in Sculpturing, He Formed
Many Bas Rehefs in Clay Along
Banks of Connecticut River.

q! Charles l.. Gunzinger, who up to the
time of his last illness was one of the
valued employees of the Estey Organ Co.,
died Sunday forenoon at III o'clock at
the age of As years, and his loss will be
mourned by large circle of friends in
addition to his immediate family. Mr..
Gunzinger came to Brattleboro 10 years
ago directly from Paris and had made
this town his home ever since. Failing
health compelled him to give up work
about one year ago. At that time his
wife and two children, Margaret and
Charles, returned to Switzerland, where
they now are.
Born in Switzerland, Mr. Gunzinger
was son of Joseph and Elizabeth Gun
ginger AT an early age he entered the
organ industry and later went to Paris
While in that city he became associated
with many young people who were artists
and was given an excellent opportunity
to study painting. From Paris he went
to Colmar, Germany, and studied under
the famous artist Prof. Kuntz. His
brother, August, who is still an organ
tuner for the Estey company, sent for
him to come to Brattleboro
While in this town he devoted all of
his spare time to artistic work and many

Besides the immediate family three

Vermont in All Her Glory.
Burlington Free Press.)


The flaming foliage of Vermont s hills
and dales at this time, challenges the
word painter as we'll as the artist s
brush and rivals the color combinations
that have become historic. Joseph S
coat of many colors and Solomon in his
glory are surpassed by our autumn
leaves. The season has been peculiarly
favorable for the slow transformation
of our green hills into the most beau
tiful panorama that one can conceive of
in this Champlain valley. If on an
autumn eve you behold the wonders of
one of our gorgeous and ever new sun
sets you see on either hand the mellow
tints of the Adirondacks purpling into
twilight. The while Old Sol challenges
passage of the lake on path of gold.
That scene is surpassed only by the
nearer view of our own loved mountains,
with their mantle of crimson and gold,
russell and brown, interposed with mani
fold tints of living green. The maple
has seldom worn a richer robe of royal
crimson than it now presents to the
traveller. The sumach, the woodbine, the
Virginia creeper, the ivy would be won
derful but for the rivaling hue of the
soft maple. Those tourists are wise who
choose bracing and clear-aired October
to tour the Champlain valley and the
hills of Vermont clothed in the most
beautiful hues Of autumn foliage.
