Some Trout Fishing

1t gave us real pleasure to read that
Walter A. Kidder of Charlestown, N. H.,
on Monday caught four trout in Whet-
stone brook in Wardsboro that weighed
three pounds and twelve ounces. The
largest one was fifteen and one-ha If
inches long and weighed pound and six
ounces. We are pleased because the
catching of such trout in Vermont waters
requires real sportsmanship and the re-
mOval of such large trout from any
stream is no damage to fishing in general.
The craftsmanship necessary to secure
such prizes will be admired by everyone
and forms stroug contrast to the work
of the fish hog who takes everything that
can fasten itself to hook. May many
more men of the stamp of Mr.. Kidder
get prizes from Vermont streams before
the close of the fishing season.-St.
Caledonian.

The Next Governor

The News and Citizen charges this pa
per with starting boom tor Percival w.
Clement for Governor, and winds up by
saying it is too early. Several other can
didates have their booms well underway.
There is no disposition on the part of
this paper to boom any candidate for
Governor. All was done was to make a
simple statement of fact. The trouble
with the Morrisvile News and Citizen
and the other papers connected with the
Old Guard and State House Gang is that
they want to reserve the privilege of do
ing all the booming themselves. The d.
rect primary, though, will give the people
a show at this booming game.-Burling
ton Clipper.
How the Clipper does take on because
we suggest that it is too early to talk
about the next Governor of Vermont.
He wallops the "Old Guard" and the
Estate House Gang, whoever they are,
for daring to make suggestions contrary
to the mind of the Clipper. However, he
makes a true statement when he says
''the direct primary will give the people a
show at this booming game" And it
won't be Percy Clement, either.

Condition of the Vermont
REGIMENT

Col. Robert L. Howe. u. S. A., is cred.
tied with the statement that the Ver-
mont National Guard is not up to the
standard required, being, in fact, the
least advanced of any state troops in
New England. If this is the case, it is
due to several reasons, prominent among
which is the fact that large percentage
of the regiment is made up of new men
entirely unused to military regime and
not yet through the formative stage of
sodielr life. Furthermore, as we are in
formed, the men are not completely sup
piled with equipment and cannot, there
fore, he expected to give the appearance
of faultlessly prepared troops on parade.
There may or may not be other causes
which would retard the regiment in pre-
pairing flor the soldiers life, but those
enumerated would of themselves prove
a considerable handicap. However, we
are confident that the personnel of the
regiment is high and that under the best
of conditions the men will measure up to
the standard in due season. At this time,
too, we are reminded that the Canadian
troops, on going to Europe, were joked
about because of their slovenly military
habits but when it came to fighting, the
Canadians made good and gained the sim
cere admiration of their fellow-soldiers
under the Union Jack. The Canadians
were not strong on dress parade but they
were right there when fighting capacity
counted.-Barre Times.

Death of John Best

John Best. one of Morristown's highly
respected citizens, died at his home in the
west part of the town at 1895 o'clock
last Wednesday night. Mr.. Best suffered
a shock year ago last October and had
been unable to walk since. A month or
six weeks ago he began failing gradually
He was taken much worse Tuesday night
and failed rapidly until his death We'd
nesday night, the direct cause of his death
being hardening of the arteries.
John Best, a son of John and Dorothy
mckinney Best, was born in St. Ar
mand. P. O., Jenuary 80, 1887. His life
was passed in Canada until coming to
Morristown from Potion, p. O., SO
years ago, when he purchased and moved
to the Frank Gates farm on West Hill,
where he passed the remainder of his life.
Mrs. Best died in June, 1877. The de-
ceased had been member of the Metho-
dist church for 60 years and was a quiet,
unassuming christian man, respected by
all who knew him. He is survived by two
sons, George W. Best of Higganium,
Conn.,. and Luther S. Best of this town;
also by two brothers and one sister,
Edward Best of ST. Armand, P. O.,
Simon Best of Morrisville, and Miss
Emily Best of this village. His son,
Luther. has cared for him tenderly dur
ing his long illness, having taken full
charge of the farm several years ago.
The funeral was held from the home
last Saturday afternoon at two O'Clock,
Rev. w. T. Best of the Methodist church
officiating. Interment was in Mountain
View cemetery at Morristown Corners.
The bearers were Hiram Mckee, Win
George, George Best and Luther Best.
There was profusion of beautiful flow
ers from neighbors and friends of the fam
lily, attesting to the high esteem in which
the deceased was held in the community,
where he had lived consistent christian
life for many years.

noise attracted his attention. A bear

the Crossett farm for gun.
By the time he had returned and peo-
