The figures from the recent Gems
us for this county have just been re-
ceivcd, and show no startling change,
the tendency here as in other coun-
tics, being to show Il decrease in pop
ulation in the rural districts, and
some increase in thcilla ges. Lyndon
town, including Lyndon Center and
Lyndonville, has a population of 355S
against 1904 in 1910, and 1855 in
1900. Lyndoncentcr village has 255
now, 259 in 1910, 232 in 1900. Lyndon
vile village shows Il gain OF 800 in
1910, 1873, and in 1900 1874. The
town census was very carefully taken
and is as reliable as. can be expected
under all the difficult conditions.

improvement society was held Mon
day at the town clerks Office to dis
cuss with the sclectmcn and Com

as the matter will have to be decided

that some memorial ought to be
found which would be a lasting good
to the living, as we'll as commence
