PainO Store Sold
to Alyre Bernie1

The Paino store on Railroad
street has just been sold. the
purchaser is Alyre Bernier, son
of Mrs. John Bernier of Portland
street. Mr.. Paino leaves this bus
mess to take up other work and
his personal choice of successor
is a very happy one. Mr.. Ber-
nier, still young man, born and
brought up in st. Johnsbury, has
had considerable experience in the
candy and fruit business. His last
two years, spent in Bridgeport,
Conn, were given to this trade
and customers will undoubtedly
soon learn of his methods in keep
ing the store neat and attra ctive.
In this, he will be assisted by his
sister, Miss Domitile Bernier, who
is soon expected home after spend
ing long vacation with relatives
in Massachusetts She is a popu-
lar young lady here and has had
first class training in this parti-
cular line of work. Another sister,
Miss Albertine Bernier, employed
in the Fairbanks office, will be
able to devote some of her time
to the business. Cleanliness will
be the watchword of the new cs-
tabishment and every one will at
all times be cordially welcome to
visit the whole place and assure
themselves that everything Is in

SHERIFF'S POSSE
SEARCHING FOR
MISSING MAN
Danyille Farmer Has Been
Missing Since Tuesday
Night

Sheriff w. H. Worthen with d
big posse searched the woods,
fields and highway in the vicinity
of Danville Saturday and Sunday
for Fred Tousant, farmer of
Danville, who disappeared from
his home some time Tuesday
night. The family of Mr.. Tousant
/ had kept up a search in the i'm
mediate vicinity for some time, but
in growing alarmed they notified
the mans st. Johnsbury relatives
and Sheriff Worthen took up the
search. So far it has been un-
availing. The only explanation
of the disappearance is the mans
physical condition. There was no
trouble of any kind at home, his
family reports. Some time ago,
Mr.. Tousant suffered greatly with
assesses in his head and a reeur-
renee of this trouble is thought
to have caused a mental listurb-
ane that prompted his disappear
ance.
Mr.. Tousant lived with his fam
lily on the George Spaulding farm
three miles from Danville Green.
Mr.. and Mrs. Spaulding who are
aged people live on the place ard
rented the farm on shares to the
missing man Mr.. Tousant attend
ed to his work as usual on Tues
day and his wife supposed he re-
tired as usual that night. He
occupied a room with his small
son. Early Wednesday when his
wife arose the man was not about
the place and no trace could be
found of him. To all appearance
he had not occupied the bed that
night. Only the clothing he wore
about his work was missing, a
black and white cap, gray coat
with white stripe, a frock, gray
trousers and tan shoes. His wife
believes he had only so cents in
money with him, his watch and his
pipe and tobacco.
Mr.. Tousant is 81 years of age
smooth face, medium complexion
with brown curly hair and brown
eyes. He weighs about 125 and is
feet, 2 inches in height. His
family is greatly alarred and ev-
cry effort is being made to locate
him. Mr. Tousant's mother lives
in st. Johnsbury, Mrs. Lena Tou-
SAINT of Maple street. He also has
a brother and sister here, Ms.

LISBON BEATS
VOCATIONAL
SCHOOL Il TO 0
st. Johnsbury Athletes
Show Up Well In Close
Contest

The young and inexperienced
gridiron warriors, comprising the
Fairbanks Vocational school foot
ball team, lost a II to 0 verdict
to the Lisbon, H., high scnool
"eleven" before a good siz.d gath
ering of fans on tie Campus Sat
urday afternoon. Outside of the
exhibition games staged with the
st. Johnsbury Academy outfit in
which it has broken even, the
week end struggle was the first en-
gagged in by the Vocational school
and considering the lack Of train
ing and the fact that the young
sters were greatly outweighed by
the visitors the local boys put up
a creditable performance.
D. Leavitt and Mcdonald, star
members of the Lisbon backfield,
each scored a touch down after
much strenuous effort. Both times
Lisbon failed to kick tie goal. ST.
Johnsbury resisted every inch OF
te ground gained by the opposition
in accomplishing two touch
downs and it was ducto tempor-
ary weakening in the chain Of de-
fehse that allowe1~ these II points
to trickle in for the Lisbonites.
in spite Of its defeat the Voca-
tionlI school still maintains high
hopes for the future. Coaches
Charles Hoernle ana John Nelson
are fast rounding t;,s aggregation
of "green" men into fighting
team that will give teresting
battle to any outfit of equal
strength. The team is s.hy yduled
for another engaocmerc soon with
Lisbon to be he'll on The latter's
grounds and a different outcome is
expected on that occasion. The
team l. noticeably weak in several
d, par:r ents but these will slowly
lie overcome.
Always in the hunning st. Johns
bury had one exceptionally fine
opportunity for touchdown, but
diminutive Orrie jerks, the clever
young quarter back, was not quite
speedy enough to elude the fast
travelling Veino who downed him
after he had made a 2j yard gain.
This incident occurred in the last
half and was the brightest pros
pect Of a score that the Vocational
school enjoyed during the entire
afternoon.
