Lieut.. Governor Foote has his "Tir
Lizzie" we'll fabricated and will put
it into active service in the near
future.
April first has "come and gone
and yet no new announcement ap-
peared for the governorship-as was
intimated from certain directions.
Can it be that "Abe" Foote has given
others "cold feet?"
Vermont is proud of her grand old
men, among whom is ExGov. Samuel
E. Pingree of Hartford for over half
century the town clerk of Hartford.
Read the notice given him and another
distinguished Vermonter by leading
papers of the country, in another
column.
A splendid sugar season is this.
1t means millions of dollars for YER
mont, which produces the best maple
sugar and syrup in the world. The
expense of manufacturing this arti-
Gle may be greater than heretofore,
but the people want it and will pay
for it, whatever the price. AS COM
modify and necessity maple sugar and
maple syrup has no equal.
Some very interesting "write-ups"
of the representative towns of Yer
mont are now being published in the
Burlington Free Press. They are de-
cidedly interesting and give much in
formation. c. H. A. Jackson, the
well-known newspaper man, is the
writer, and he has the faculty of
WELDING very facile pen. He has
already written up Stowe and this
week takes up Morrisville and Hyde
Park. These articles are not only well
worth reading, but worthy of preser-
walton
More attention is to be given this
year to setting out trees. This is
right. The devastation of our forests
makes this necessary if we are to
have any trees in the future. The
slaughter of spruce trees for
christmas" purposes, pulp wood for
paper and maple and ash, are fast
wiping out our beautiful forests.
Rutland is to plant $4,000 trees this
season and other towns see to it that
the offer of the State Forestry
Department to supply spruce and
pine transplants at cost is taken
advantage of. Set out trees and
future generations will "rise up and
call you blessed" and you will in a |
measure make good for the sad havoc
the present generation has done.
Editor Appolt of the Hardwick
Gazette is an asprant for the nomi- |
nation for Representative from that
town to the General Assembly. If |
Brer. Appolt is a candidate there
should not be the least doubt about
his election, as he not only is in |
every way well-ftted for the position,
but his long and strenuous work for |
the welfare of Hardwick certainly |
merits reward. He will be found |
right on every question that comes |
before the Legislature and the best |
interests of his town will be we'll |
looked after. ED" is not a persist |
ent office-seeker. 1t is men of his
calibre that will be wanted at Mont |
pelier next winter. No mistake will |
be made should he be chosen.
In the. death of Col. Albert Niles of |
Morrisville a well-known parsonage
is removed from this county His
entire life was spent at Morrisville
and if the several important positions
he was called upon to fill he gave an
excellent account of his stewardship.
He was of a quiet nature, unpreten-
tlous and unassuming, yet he took an
active interest in all matters per-
tanning to the welfare of his county
and town. AS states attorney he |
served well and likewise as clerk and
treasurer of his town for several
years. He was a veteran of the Civil |
War and made a splendid record as
state department commander of the
u. A. R., in which he maintained a
great interest. He was a worthy
citizen and loyal friend to all.
Many are they who sincerely mourn
