Leonard Claims Championship.
A fast wrestling match was pulled
off at Evansville Wednesday night,
April 1, between Young Landry of St.
Johnsbury and Leonard of Barton, the
former winning the last two falls and
the match. Leonard secured the ad
vantage by winning the first fall in 37
minutes but Landry came back and
won the second and third in nine and
27 minutes respectively. This match
left Leonard with two victories over
Landry and the latter with two victo
ries over Leonard. Both wrestlers
agreed to wrestle for the lightweight
championship of the state and it was
decided to pull this important match
off in Coventry on the following even
ing. With the title at stake both men
were ready for a real match. The first
fall went to Leonard in 39 minutes
but Landry came back with his great
strength and endurance and won the
second fall in 27 minutes. After a
short rest they again faced each other.
Landry rushed at Leonard and was
blocked cleverly. Leonard won this
fall in eleven minutes and both men
said, after the match that they were
satisfied with the way the Coventry
boys supported the game and would
give them their share of the sport
This leaves Leonard the lightweight
championship of the state and he bars
no one at 130 pounds.

, The Afternoon Study! c ub met with
Mrs.. Underwood Apr! 2. Twenty
Yesterday was held the Orleans
County Road Commissioners' " meeting
at Newport under the direction of
State Commissioner Gates and County
Commissioner Bates of Derby.
The forenoon session was devoted to
explanations of the law by Mr. Gates,
experience meetings by the town com
missioners and a general discussion of
road methods and problems.
At noon the Newport board of trade
banqueted the attending commission
ers, selectmen and a number of others
whom they had invited. About 200 in
all sat down to a fine "feed" after
which Oscar C. Miller explained that
the object of the get-together was for
the better acquaintance by the repre
sentative men of the county and he
believed such gatherings should be
more common He referred to the
gathering at Newport about a year
ago when the Orleans County Agricul
tural association was organized and
called upon C. W. Richmond, secretary
of that association, to say a few words
about its progress.
Mr. Richmond explained very briefly
what the association proposed to do and
reported that where a year ago some
500 members belonged over 800 had
now signed and he believed that with
the many cards being received almost
daily, the number would soon be
sufficient to warrant, with the backing
the banks had promised and the busi
ness men would give, the hiring of a
county agricultural adviser to come,
onto the ground. He said a meeting
of the advisory board was planned
for the near future and he believed it
would see fit to go ahead.
Mr. Miller then introduced W. W.
True of Newport, the Orleans county
member of the Greater Vermont
association and asked him to explain
the benefits of county boards of trade
or associations. Mr. True told of the
work or the Greater Vermont associa
tion and the fine work of the county
organizations in Bennington and Wind
sor counties. He saw great benefits in
organizations of this kind which lead
to better acquiantance and cooperation.
He advocated such an organization in
Orleans county either independently or
as an auxiliary to the county agricul
tural association and submitted the
idea to the associatiorfthat it appoint
a committee for the purpose of en
larging upon the county development
along lines other than agriculture.
Mr. Gates was then called upon and
in introducing mm, Mr. miner, a
prominent Democrat, said it was a
shame for the Republican party to
spoil so good a state road commission
er by putting mm ' down into so
small an office as governor.
Mr. Gates talked for more than an
hour on road work, policy and prog
ress, exhibiting .many lantern slides
of Vermont roads. He prefaced his
road talk with commendatory remarks
about the co-operative idea and said
there was a great difference in the
enthusiasm and interest shown in these
meetings now and a few years ago.
He made the statement that Orleans
county voted a slightly greater per
cent on its taxable property for road
work than any other county in the
state. He said we were making some
good roads here and he wanted us to
continue. "Property values are in
creased one dollar for every dollar put
into roads," said Mr. Gates. "I can
not prove this statement, but many
men agree with me in this statement
and I doubt whether there is & man
hare who will disputa that statement
so far as Orleans county is concerned."
Mr. Gates said Orleans county had
voted for state road work in eight
years $54,000 and had received a like
sum from the state in matching
amounts voted by town and in addition
had received from the state surplus
$36,000 more. This surplus money is
expended in making roads in spots
where the town in which the road is
located get little or no good from that
particular piece of road but the travel
ing public demands good roads. He
referred to the .road built over the
mountain between Lowell and Eden.
Neither . town derived much benefit
from this bit of road but the traveling
public wanted a good highway and the
state took its surplus money and built
a suitable road there.

citizen and successful farmer of Troy
died at his home in that town, aged 68

Charles Stevens of Orleans and Dr.
Chas. A. Drew, who is superintendent
of the general hospital in Worcester,
Mass. The singers were Mr. and Mrs.
F. B. Hammond, Henry Harris and
Mrs. Alice Gray, all of North Troy. The
floral tribute was profuse and beauti
ful. The interment was in the Troy
cemetery. The 'deceased was the
youngest child of the late Captain
Kennedy, who came to Troy from
Windsor about 1822 and located on the
land which since has been the Kennedy
home. Here Charles was born and
spent his life. He was a model farm
er, industrious and thrifty, a business
man of integrity, and a citizen re
spected and esteemed. About 34 years
ago he married Miss Sarah Sherman,
who with one daughter, Nettie, the
wife of Milo Porter, survives him.
