CALEDONIA COUNTY

At Masonic gathering in st.
Johnsbury Friday night nearly $11,-
600 toward the $18,6OO debt on the
Masonic temple was subscribed by
those present.
Voters at a special st. Johnsbury
town meeting Saturday afternoon,
voted unanimously to exempt the
new Cary Sugar plant from taxation
for period of ten years. The vot-
ers discussed then the advisability of
exempting the Plymouth Creamery
plant, resembling previous vote of
some months ago not to exempt.
Deeds are soon to be made out for
eight pieces of real estate in the vii
lage of Lower Waterford which J. w.
Davies of Reading, Mass, has pur-
chased and which he will develop in
to one of the finest country estates
in this section of Vermont The prop
erty covers over 800 acres of land and
the improvements will run into thou
sands of dollars. Mr.. Davies is the
sole owner of the Plymouth cream
cry and is now erecting 100000 &C.
ment and brick building in st. Johns
bury. It was his intention to locate
in st. Johnsbury himself but owing
to the fact that the creamery proper
ty was not exempted from taxation
he decided to locate in Waterford.

Much of the wealth of Virginia and
of her capital has always been based
on the lure of the Virginia weed. In

covering 10000 square feet of space,
and said to be the largest In the
South, was completed in the prosper
Gus little country town of South Bos-
