Hickory Slim" they called him,
humble member of a humble COM
munity. Hickory" because he was
sinewy and strong; Slim" for the
reason that he was trim, tall and
straight as an arrow. He was by all
odds the most popular men in BrOC-
without pretense, plain and
truthful in his speech, helpful and
accommodating to all he met or
knew.
His correct name was Jasper, Jas
per DOwney, and he deserved recOg-
milton and admiration, for he could
not remember a mother, and his
father died when the son was only 6.
Some good people had cared for him
until he was double that age, moved
away from BrOctOn, and then Hick-
Dry was thrown on his own re-
IOUTCes.
For eight years he led a rugged,
hardy life with a quaint old trapper
down Beaver creek. When his bene-
factor died Hickory got lonely, sold
off the few traps and belongings in
heTited and came into BrOctOn. He
had a team of horses, arranged to
get a stout, rOOmy wagon, and went
into the business of delivering freight
to BrOCton and a few surrounding
towns from the nearest railroad
point, 40 miles away.
At the rear of the covered wagon
he had fitted up two cushioned seats,
and there were few trips that he did
not have two or more, passengers,
caring more for their company than
the small compensation he acquired
from this feature Of his business as a
public carrier.

Discuss Road Work.

State Highway Commissioner Stoddard
B. Bates, of Derby, held a conference
with several of the county road supervis-
Ors at the Hotel Vermont Friday after
noon on the present condition of the
roads throughout the state. The work
which may yet be done this season with
profit was another topic of discussion
that was followed with interest. Much
time was given to discussion of labor
and this form of trouble presented one of
the most serious obstacles with which the
road commissioners have to contend. 1t
is Mr.. Bates intention to do more work
on state highways after the haying season
is over. Because motor travel is very
heavy on the main highways of the state,
the wear and tear on the roads have kept
the men busy maintaining the main high
ways, and but little time has been devoted
to building new pieces.
