SHORT STATE STORIES

The trustees of the village of Bel
lows Falls have received a commune
cation from the military authorities
at Fort Ethan Allen stating that a
detachment of cavalry will start from
that post about April 20 on a forced
march to Camp Devens, and they wish
to arrange to camp one night in the
vicinity of that village. They will
require supplies for 80 men and 100
horses.
The height of the Connecticut
river at White River Junction We'd
nesday morning was 26.S feet, accord

national weather bureau. This is a
record breaking height since the
flood of 1913, when the log boom at
Sharon broke away and let loose the
big drive that upon reaching White
River Junction destroyed the public
White River bridge. Many Maple
street houses were flooded and the
families driven from them.

BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS

Several of our progressive citizens
have begun to practice that this
paper has been preaching--"Buy and
Build"
H. w. Burnham's handsome new
bungalow, on south Congress street,
is near completion and Mr.. Durham
expects to move in about May l.
DR.. w. T. Slayton started improve
ments on his residence on Portland
street last fall. This spring he has
made many more, amony them fine,
large lseeping porch over the piazza
on the south side and screened in the
piazza, as we'll as the sleeping porch.
On the north side he has built an up
to- date piazza and has remodeled
the front porch.
James NJ. Kelley has raised the
roof to the west side of the main part
of his residence, on Main street, put
ting in large windows and making fine
rooms of the chambers on that side,
which were very small before,
Smith & Tillotson have completed
the work on the rooms over their two
stores on the second and third floors,
greatly improving the tenements and
built a new entrance and stairway to
the same on the west side of the
block.
Eaton Brothers have been exca-
waiting under the block they recently
purchased of George w. Clark, so as
to have good basement under the
store and give them much needed
room for their increasing business.
The Lamoille Garage has remodel
ed and enlarged it's Office and greatly
improved it's workshop by windows
on the west side.
This is only partial list of i'm
provements completed on nearly to
date.
The aggregate of these improve
ments is not large but is a sizeable
sum and indicates the right spirit
the spirit to do, not talk.
Charles H. Raymore has been MAX
ing considerable improvements in the
chambers of his bungalow on Con-
gress street
George Tillotson has completed the
repairs on his residence caused by
the fire sonnet time ago.
In addition, the lumber is being
gotten out for at least one new
cottage on Elmore Lake and improve
ments on several there are being
planned.

Gently died at Rio Vista, Johnson
County, Texas, was born at Stowe
in 1887, and at the time of his death
was in his Seth year.
For sturdiness of character and
integrity of heart he was a proverbial
Green Mountain Boy.
He left his native state at the age
of IL. The outbreak of the Civil
War found him in the state of Mis-
souri,, where he enlisted, serving
throughout the struggle. At the close
of the war he went to Texas to begin
life anew, with nothing but tattered
uniform and a manly, courageous
heart. During his residence of sew
eral years. in the Grayson county he
was married to Miss Annie Akers.
who survives him. In the year 1873
they settled at Rio Vista, Texas, in
johnson county, where a fair degree
of prosperity crowned their united
efforts. Nature left them childless,
but they reared two orphan children,
whose young lives they blessed and
were in turn blessed by them. For as
years he was a staunch member of
the Church of Christ, as faithful. as
true and as brave as he ever was in
defence of the ideals of liberty and
freedom.
His last illness was long and pain
full, but the faithful wife and dutiful
foster children never faltered. For
weeks at a time the faithful wife did
not disrobe at night, as she kept his
wearisome vigil. There are a few
left in his old home town who will
