Shall be Satisfied." The last-named
was written by himself and is a very
beautiful hymn.f: Alvin Jewell and

THE SPECIAL VILLAGE MEETING.
The special village meeting held last
evening in Seaver's hall to determine
the will of the voters in regard to
allowing F. E. Nelson to enclose the
upper veranda on the front of his
building on Main street, was well at
tended and a full discussion of the
question in its various phases was
heard. W. W. Reirden represented
Mr. Nelson whom he said was sick in
bed. He moved that the article allow
ing Mr. Nelson to enclose the veranda
be passed. This brought forth a state
ment from Trustee Barrows to the
effect that the trustees and Mr. Nelson
agreed when the building was located
that it should not be located nearer
the street than it now is, and that
enclosing the verandas would accom
plish the same purpose as moving the
building to the street in the first place.
S. A. Hunt was called upon to give
the result of his surveys and he was
of the opinion from his work that Mr.
Nelson's building and the three blocks
just south of it were all some ten feet
in the street. Mr. Reirden believed
otherwise and in questioning Mr. Hunt
drew out the fact that the basis of his
survey was conjecture and hearsay as
to starting points. Mr. Hamblet then
stated that a number of years ago
while he was trustee several days
were spent in locating the east side of
Main street and told where the line
ran from memory. This survey would,
Mr. Reirden said, bring the west side
of the street some 13 feet from the
verandas of the Nelson and other
buildings immediately south.
F. W. Baldwin said he remembered
when the so-called "King" block was
built it was known to be in the street
and from records tried to show that
there was no question about the loca
tion of these blocks being in the
street.
Mr. Rowen explained that they had
tried to act for the best interests of
the village in the matter. Mr. Seaver
believed permission should not be
given. W. M. Wright also spoke in
favor of standing by the trustees.
Mr. Barrows stated that in regard to
the legality of the by-law that gave
them power regardless of the voters'
desires in such a matter that the vote
at this meeting would govern their
action entirely in this matter.
The vote was taken by ballot and the
vote stood on the question of allowing
Mr. Nelson to build or not, no 71, yes
42.
The matter of a revision of the vil
lage by-laws was left to the four attor
neys of the place and the revision is to
be presented for the acceptance of the
voters at a later meeting. It was
voted to have the by-laws printed for
general distribution.

Trains Restored.
i
Two passenger trains discontinued
last fall were restored this week Mon
day. These trains are the south
bound train leaving Barton at 10.13 a.
m., and the northbound train leaving
here 8.42 p. m. This is done be
cause Frank A. Miles of Newport
acting for nine petitioners in a hear
ing held some time ago regarding
theste same trains finds that the man
agement discontinued these trains last
fall without getting the consent of the
public service commission which has
ordered the continuance of these
trains and whose order had been con
firmed by the supreme court of Ver
mont. Mr. Miles took up the matter
directly with Pres. McDonald. Messrs.
Polloch and Rich of the Boston &
Maine. The gentlemen acknowledge
that the discontinuance of these trains
was- a violation of the public service
commission's order and promised the
resumption of these trains. They
made this proposition: To put the
trains back on now if desired with the
possibility of applying to the public
service commission next fall for the
right to discontinue them ; or if the
people along the line would wait until
the summer change of time-table June
22, these trains would be put back on
and operated through next winter with
out any contest. Mr. Miles met the
traveling men of St. Johnsbury at the
Avenue House recently to learn wheth
er they wanted to wait until June 22 or
insist on the trains going on at once
and possibly a contest before the pub
lic service commission next fall. The
matter was fully discussed and an
unanimous sentiment seemed to be
that service should be resumed at once.
By putting these trains back at
once it escapes the liability of prosecu
tion on a criminal charge and for con
tempt of court.

Mrs. Mary Adeline Belknap.
The community was saddened Friday
morning April 10, by the death of Mrs.
Mary A. Belknap. Mary A. Capron
was born in East Jeffrey, N. H., Nov.
23, 1835. She received her education
in the common school of Jeffrey. On

war. Mrs. Belknap has resided here
for the past 54 years and was an ac
tive member of the Woman's Relief
Corps until it disbanded some vears
ago. During the closing years of life's
journey the home was made bright by
the presence of her daughter. Mrs. S.
B. Berry. For the past year Mrs.
Belknap has been in declining health
and was confined to her bed for the
last nine weeks. All that willing
hands and kind hearts could do was
done to comfort the sufferer but with
out avail and the end came Friday
morning. The funeral was held Mon
day afteroon, April 13, at her late
home on High street, the Rev. A. W.
Barnlund officiating. The interment
was in the family lot in the W. O.
Brown cemetery. She leaves to mourn
her death besides a host of friends,
two daughters, Mrs. W. C. Allen of

Card We desire to thank the friends
and neighbors for their sympathy in
thought, word and deed, also for the
beautiful flowers sent during our recent
bereavement;

Wants Fish Preserve in This Vicinity.
Mr. Editor:
We have occasional inquiries from
non-residents who want to secure a
farm near some lake or where
there are possibilities for having
a little private fishing thereby control
ling a portion of the stream or by con
structing ponds. I have in mind now
a gentleman who has written me after
looking over the literature of the
secretary of state, because he partic
ularly desires to get hold of some
abandoned farm property or other
property which is not expensive say
25 to 50 acres but so located that he
could eventually purchase additional
property. He wants land where he
could stock the streams and improve
the property if he likes for a summer
home. I do not think he has seen
Willoughby lake, but he is partial to
the Willoughby lake neighborhood from
the descriptions which he has read.
While I am not in position to advertise
for anything of this sort, if any of
your subscribers are interested and
think they know of some property
which might make a good summer
home for such a person I should be
very glad to hear from them if you
should see fit to call their attention to
the matter.
Yours very truly,
John W. Titcomb.
