The Hardwick Gazette calls atten-
ton to the fact that so per cent OF
the $4,000 herd of blooded Jerseys
that was sold at the Bronson auction
at East Hardwick went to New Eng
land buyers, the balance going as far
west as Kansas, and that Vermont
dairymen were bidders on 70 per cent
of the stock. This famous herd, con-
tinues the Gazette, was founded in
1858 by William ID. Bronson, and
carefully bred later by his son, Tim
othy G. Bronson, who died four years
ago, and had acquired national rep
utation.
1t is a matter of state pride that so
much Of this herd was Kept in Yer
mont as it means much for the future
of dairying to have only the best
stock on the farm.

DRUG STORE SOLD
c. c. Bingham Sells His Store to
Shirley K. Brigham

C. c. Bingham mas sold his drug
store to Shirley X. Brigham and the
former retires from the business
which he has conducted for the past
SO years.
This store was founded by DR..
Luther Jewett, one of St. Johns
bury's pioneers, and purchased in
1S45 by ]. C. Bingham, fatehr of c.
C. Bingham. The latter succeeded
his father in the business at the time
of his death in 1870 and now retires
as one of the oldest druggists in Ver-
mont as well as one of the oldest and
most highly esteemed of St. Johns
bury's merchants. The store was
first located in what was later the
Cross bakery and stood near the st.
AlOysius church. Later it moved far
ther down Main street and occupied
locations just above the store of
Steele, Taplin & Co. When the brick
block was completed in 1870 Mr.
Bingham bought a section of the
block and the store has become one
of the landmarks of the street.
Mr.. Brigham has been connected
with Mr.. Bingham's store for the
past 16 years and is thoroughly COM
petent to take general charge of the
store. He attended the Massachusetts,
College of Pharmacy in Boston and
worked in some of the best prescrip-
tion stores in southern New Hamp-
shire and New York before coming
here. His many friends wish him sue
cess at the head of this well-known
drug store.

William Labclle, II years old, has
admitted to the 3 rlington police
that he is the one who has been set
ting fires in that city for the past two
months. He gave as his reason for
setting them that he liked to see the
flames. He has already been in the

purchasers of the government food

$1,000 worth having been disposed of
since the sale began and the demand
being so great that the postmaster

of many things, which have been
completely disposed of.

They have practiced on differ ent songs during the year with the purpose of taking those which were most charming and appropriate foI Spring, for their coming musicale They will be assisted by the High School Orchestra which is under the direction of Prof. J.
