Our 1914 Grand List.
While the total grand list of our
town last year showed a material in
crease over previous years, our listers
were continually reminded that while
they had done well the next year
would show a reduction, the natural
inference J being. "You got 'em this
year but they'll hide it next year."
It is with no little pride therefore that
we are able to state that the present
list, just completed, shows a material
increase along every line. The com

Morrisville-Troy Road.
Interest in the much-talked-about
railroad between Morrisville and North
Troy and the possibilities in railroad
connections and development of natu
ral resources, which such an event
would foretell have been revived the
past few days. This is the result of
renewed talk of a road to be surveyed
at once from the Lowell asbestos mines
to connect with the St Johnsbury and
Lake Champlain branch, either at
Johnson or Morrisville.
W. G. Gallagher of Philadelphia,
president of the Chrysotile Asbestos
corporation, which owns a large mine
and plant loccated near the Eden line
in the town of Lowell, arrived in town
Monday, having accompanied Balti
more, Md., and Pittsburg, Pa., capi
talists to the mines and also over the
whole proposed route from North Troy
to Stowe When seen by a newspaper
representative Mr. Gallagher confirmed
the report that surveys will be made
the first of June for a steam railroad
from the mines to either Johnson or
Morrisville. He said that the matter
of financing the construction had been
arranged and the route to be chosen
would be determined later. Johnson
has the advantage over Morrisville as
regards distance, being only fourteen
miles frcm the plant, while the dis
tance to Morrisville is about four miles
greater. On the other hand, the possi
bilities of extending the road later and
making the road to the mines a part of
the connecting link, would seem to fa
vor Morrisville. The plant at the com
pany's mine has been quite extensively
operated since 1907, until the past
year, when t has oeen closed. The
product has, previous to this time, been
hauled by team to Johnson. President
Gallagher says the plant will be re
opened in June and that the company
has an order for 8000 tons of the
product for 1915 delivery, from manu
facturing firms in Germany and Aus
tria. The present capacity of the plant
is only ten tons per day, but this will
be increased to 100 tons, which amount
the company claims it can contract for
a term of years. A plant of this ca
pacity would employ about 150 men.

Academy Loses in Hard-fought Game.
B. A. lost its ball game with Derby
academy Saturday afternoon on the
local grounds by a score of 8 to 9.
Five errors which practically netted
Derby five runs in tfce first inning, put
our boys in a bad hole, but to their
credit, they made it very interesting up
to the last man out. In the ninth with
the score 7 to 9, and needing only two
runs to tie the game, we were able to
push only one over, and the game end
ed. Exhibitions of both major league
and bush league ball were prevalent
throughout the game. The score by

B. A. Badly Beaten at Newport.
Barton Academy ball team were on
the wrong end of a 14 to 4- score with
Newport high school team Wednesday
of last week. We deem it fortunate
that the interstate commerce commis
sion was not present at the game, as
most assuredly our pitchers would be
brought before that body for issuing
passes. Jewell lasted one and two
thirds innings with nothing on the ball,
Pf ige three and a third innings while
Newport made nine safe ones, and
Johnson finally wound up the game
with only one hit and a pass chalked
against him. Errors however at criti
cal times took much of the snap out of
our box artists and we are aware that
any and all of them have played, and
can play, better ball. It is never best
to be a good loser, but it always pays
to be cheerful losers.

from the local boys of each village,
able to compete with North Troy, New

The play, "Indiana Folks," booked
at the opera house for Friday night,
didn't materialize. There was very
little advance advertising done and the
attendance was so small, that the
company decided to return the ticket
money. We can't see all the shows
offered, and our home Jtalent seems to
be very deserving of late. .
At the meeting of the Boy Scouts
Friday night at the club house, there
.was a good attendance, uur ooys
voted to ask the Scouts at Glover to
come up for their next meeting, which
will be Friday night. No question
about this Boy Scout movement being
a good thing, not alone for our boys
but the entire community.
Your correspondent begs leave to
correct an error in last week's issue of
the Monitor, relative to the musicale
at Hotel Barton some time since. The
Schubert club were not entertained by
Mr. Cutting and each member paid
his proportion, a Dutch treat affair.
however, the musical treat to those
fortunate enough to be present still
stands as per our former item.
Early Friday morning a hydrant plug
blew out of the water main leading to
Glover street. This four-inch plug
was put in after the hydrant was re
moved from the Glover street bridge a
few rods south. Considerable damage
was done to the sidewalk and Mr.
Dana's garden was badly torn up. No
inconvenience was caused from lack of
water except on Glover street and that
for only part of Friday.
Mrs. Cora Jewell and son, Alvin, left
Friday night for Atlanta, Ga., where
they will make their home. Mrs.

vears. C. H. Jewell. Jr. , the eldest of
the boys, went south to locate some
two years since, and now is part owner
in a small drug store in Atlanta. Rob

"fPHEY are marching with a'
halting step
A halting step and slow
And many in those blue clad
ranks
Have hair as white as snow.
Their youth lies on the battlefields
Of fifty years ago.
THOSE faded, tattered flags
they bear,
All torn by shot and shell,
Are sacred emblems of the dead
Who loved their country welL
How great their love and sacrifice
No human tongue may tell.
THEIR serried ranks are thin
ning fast
That once with martial tread
The knapsack and the- musket
bore
Where Grant and Sherman led.
Their sleep is sound and peaceful
In the bivouac of the dead.
NO more the reveille at dawn
Shall rouse them from their
sleep;
No more shall wives and sisters
mourn;
- No more shall mothers weep.
Their names upon the roll of fame
Time's hand has graven deep.
AND some lie on those hard
fought fields
Where now the blue and gray
Clasp hands across those battle
lines
Their blood has washed away.
Where once the tide of battle
flowed
Their children's children play.
THE passing years speed swiftly;
And silence round them wraps.
And to their listening ears there
comes
No sweeter song, perhaps,
Than when the battered bugle
sounds
Again the old call 'Taps 1" t
National Magazine.
Flies Greatest Germ Carriers.
The mosquito implants the germ ol
malaria, and flies carry the germs ol
tuberculosis as well as other diseases,
such as typhoid and diphtheria.
Don't wait until the warm weathei
to kill the fly.
Swat him now before the holdoven
