W. A. Roystan. .
W. A. Roystan died at the Montreal
General hospital, Montreal, on Tuesday
evening, Dec. 22d, at shortly- after
nine o'clock. Mrs. Roystan had re
turned to Montreal immediately after
Mr Roystan's second operation and
remsined with her husband until the
end came. Mr. Roystan was born in
Frellisberg, Canada, Dec. 16, ,1875, his
parents being William Roystan and
Louella Connors Roystan of Canada,
who came to Vermont when Mr. Roy
stan was a child and lived on a farm
near North Troy. Mr. Roystan com
menced work for Chester Phillips at
Glover nearly fourteen years ago and
learned the taxidermist's trade there
as well as photography. On June 16,
1897, he married Helen R. Hoyt of
Glover and remained in that town until
about five years ago, when he came to
Barton and bought out the Ed. Walcott
studio here, which he has run since
that time. Mr. Roystan became an
excellent photographer and his work is
favorably known all over the state,
several of his pictures having appeared
in magazines and other publications.
Mr. Roystan was a man universally
liked, one of those pleasant men with
whom it was a pleasure to be associat
ed and a man who will be greatly
missed in the community. For the
past eight years he had suffered from
a stomach trouble and deemed it best
to have an operation as the trouble
apparently had been growing worse
for the past year or more ; accordingly
he went to Montreal on Nov. 24th and
after being under observation there by
specialists, he was operated upon and
apparently was in a fair way to recov
ery, but the disease had become too
deeply seated and a second operation
was necessary later. There was abso
lutely no help for him, however, and
perfectly conscious to the end, he died
at the hospital on Tuesday evening and
the body accompanied by Mrs. Roystan,
was brought home on Wednesday noibn,
a large number of Masons meeting the
train here. Mr. Roystan was a mem
ber of Orleans Lodge, No. 55,' F. & A.
M., of which body he was junior
warden, a member of Malta Command
ery at Newport and of Mt. Sinai Tem
ple of the Mystic Shrine. He also was
a member of Crystal Lake grange and
of the Barton Fire company, and an
associate member of the G. A. R. Mr.
Roystan leaves his wife, Mrs. Helen
Hoyt Roystan, his father, William A
Roystan of Morrisville, two brothers.
James Roystan of Morrisville and
Byron Roystan of North Haverhill, N.
H., and a sister, Mrs. C. F. Bullard of
East Rochester, N. Y., to mourn their
loss. The funeral services were held
Saturday afternoon with prayer at the
home and services at the Congrega
tional church at 1.30 p. m. The
Masonic order attended in a body. The
floral offerings were very beautiful,
there being many set pieces from
lodges and friends. The services were
conducted by Rev. W. A. Warner, as
sisted by Rev. G. W. Douglass of
Glover, and music by the choir of the
church. The interment was in the
cemetery at Glover.
Friends and relatives from out of
town who attended the funeral were :
Mrs. Cecil B Hard of East Rochester,
N. Y., Wm. Roystan and Mr. and Mr.
James Roystan of Morrisville, Martin
Douian of Richford, Mr. and Mrs. H.
E. Townsend. Mrs. Carrie Johnson -and
Miss Nettie Johnson of Manchester, N.
H., Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Root of

A Card We wish to express the deep
appreciation which is in our hearts for
the many words .and acts of love and
sympathy and the beautiful flowers
received during the sickness and death
of our loved one. The many beautiful
flowers and cheery and loving messages
which reached him in the days of
suffering in the hospital were treasured
by him. May He who notes the spar
row's fall guide you in the Ways of
Pleasantness and Paths of Peace.

Vermont Christmas Mail.
Through the instigation of Chief
Clerk David F. Hunt, whose offices are
at White River Junction, and who
handles the mail coming in from sever
al different routes to White River, a
temporary mail room was installed,
built into the west end of the main
waiting room at White River depot,
where the immense amount of holiday
mail was handled in a most expeditious
manner. x Over 6,000 Vermont mail
bags were handled from this mailing
room and there was absolutely no
delayed mail in this large number of
bags, due to the sytematic work of Mr.
Hunt and his corps of mail handlers.
The temporary station was installed
Monday, Dec. 21, and every mail bag
has been handled in fsuch quick time
that the mailing room was discontinued
on the morning of the 25th. This is
really the first year of the reduced
parcel post rate and never Defore has
there been anything like the number
of packages to be handled by mail
this year. There were five 60-foot
baggage cars in the mail service be
tween Springfield and White River
beside the regular mail car, and three
of the extra cars came through to
Newport. A crew of forty regular
men, together with a special crew of
extras, handled this immense mail.
One of the , men in the mail service
stated that he handled 203 registered
packages of mail matter on Monday
night, Dec. 21 ; the ordinary amount of
this matter is usually under fifty. At
some places the trains were over an
hour taking on mail bags at the sta
tions. From the number of parcels
coming to Barton and Orleans, several
trains bringing in from twenty to forty
bags, it would seem as though the cry
of hard times was decidedly far fetched
and if you leave it to the mail service
men they will tell you that if it is a
case of hard times this Christmas they
hope not to be handling mail at a pros
perous Christmas season.
Methodist Episcopal Church Notes
Christmas exercises by the children
were pleasing and much enjoyed,
reflecting much credit on the commit-
in AHAKVA TUrt .vmf. . votaII
rec in uiai gc. iiic Lice was well
laaen witn presents, and we nope every
child was remembered. When we
consider the amount of time, strength
and nerve force required to produce an
entertainment like this, it would seem
as if our churches ought to be packed
to the doors as they used to be.
The closing Sabbath of the year, the
music was of the usual high character,
although we have missed for the last
two Sundays the splendid voice of C.
B. Webster, on account of a slight
illness. The anthem, "Come Let Us
Sing unto the Lord," accompanied by
C. S. Webster, violin, was well ren
dered. Mrs. Adams played for offer
tory, very sweetly, Barnby's lullaby
song. Sermon trom Matt. 5:13, "Ye
are the salt f the earth, but if the
salt have lost its savor, wherewith
shall it be salted?" We were im
pressed with the thought, that now is
the time to consider whether we, as a
church, or individuals, are the salt
that preserves, -seasons and purifies,
or that which has lost its savor."
,Sunday evening a chorus . choir from
the League furnished the music, and the
pastor preached another timely sermon
from John 12:21, "Sir, we would see
Jesus."
After the regular Thursday evening
service of this week, the annual busi
ness meeting of the Sunday school
board will be held. Every member of
this board should be present On Sat
urday afternoon at 2.30, the members
of the Junior League will meet at the
parsonage. The regular monthly busi
ness meeting of the Epworth League
will be held Sunday evening at 6.
Sunday being the first in the quar
ter,' the Lord's Supper will be cele
brated in the morning. In the even
ing there will be a union service in the
Congregational church. Rev. I. A.
Ranney will preach.

T. N. Vail Offers Farm to the State.
T. N. Vail of Lyndonville has offered
his $150,000 farm at Lyndonville to the
state of Vermont as a gift. The farm
is to be used as a school for girls. Mr.
Vail has sent letters to the members
of the incoming legislature stating
that he desires to use bis energies and
means to demonstrate the utility and
advantage of schools for girls 'where
they may be thoroughly trained in all
home industries and economies to make
good homes and housewives. The
farm includes hundreds of acres of
land and fully equipped buildings. It
would cost the state probably between
$20,000 and $30,000 to maintain such a
school. Mr. Vail has done much for
Vermont and his agricultural school at
Lyndonville is known all over New
England as one of the best equipped
and most efficient.
County Agricultural Association to Make
Records. '
The Orleans County Farmers' associ
ation has secured the assistance of
representatives ofvthe extension ser
vice of the col-ee nf agriculture of
th University of Vermont and of the
United States department of ae-r'cuH-ure
in making a study of the differ nt
systems'"of farming in this region
It is believed that the best systems of
farm management are the result of
many years of farmers' experiences.
The object of this work is to locate the
best systems of farm management, to
learn the gxd points of each and to
arrange this information in such a way
as to make it valuable to all these wh
desire it. These men will take an
inventory of the f?rm business for one
year from Jan. 1 1914, to Jan. 1, 1915
on about 100 farms in the vicinity of
Orleans making a record of the acre
ages and yields of crops as well as of
the receipts and expenses of the year.
It is not necessary "that a farmer have
accurate records of his sales and pur
chases, for most men will have these
things well enough in mind to be able
to give in a short time a record of farm
business sufficiently accurate for all
practical purposes. If accounts of the
farm receipts and expenses are kept?,
however, iir will greatly assist the men
taking the records if they are made
available. These records will be
worked up and summarized by the men
who take them. A copy of the sum
mary of each record will be returned
to the man who gave it. if he so
desires, accompanied by a letter ex
plaining how the farm business was
figured and presenting some facts
learned from the study of the different
types of farming carried on in , this
locality. All of the information se
cured will be treated as strictly confi
dential. No one but the men doing .the
work will see the records. There . are
no charges of any kind and this work
has no relation whatsoever with taxes.
Similar work will be done at the S'me
time in Rutland and Windsor coun ie?
and was done last summer in Orange
county. The work in Orleans county
will be in immediate charge of Prof.
Thomas Bralee, director of the exten
sion service of the state university, as
sisted by Messrs. David Albro of Bur
lington, C. F. Brown of Hyde Park,
N. Hanson of Derby and E. S. Hayden
of St. Albans, representatives of the
college of agriculture of the univer
sity. They will call on about a hun
dred farmers in-the vicinity of Orlears
for the information above outlined. In
view of the fact that' the data is gath
ered in the interests of the farmers, it
is trusted that courtesv will be shown
them and information freely . vouch
safed. Mrs. Walter Colby has been caring for
L. P. Case, who remains in a serious
condition.

Vermont Sugar Makers Meet.
- t
The annual meeting of the Vermont
Sugar Makers' sssociation is to be
at Montpelier, this year Jan. 19-20.
This is a meeting of much importance
to the sugar makers of Vermont and
it is to be regretted that so few from
our county have been attendants at
previous, meetings. At the time of
the meeting last January only two
Orleans county sugar producers were
members -of the association. Since
that time a few more names have
been added, but there should be 50 new
members secured at once. The fee is
only $1.00 per year and every member
is entitled to 100 lithographed labels
for sugar or syrup as is preferred.
Messrs True & Blanchard company,
who for years past has made a large
exhibit at these conventions felt some
what chagrined when they found so
small a membership from their county
and has secured from the secretary of
the association a supply of receipts
and, are ready to accept members and
look after all necessary details. Send
them your application at once, and try
if possible to attend the Montpelier
meeting.

SCHOOL EXHIBIT
Do 'not forget the school exhibit,
which is to be given during the third
week in January the exact date to be
announced later. Those in charge of
this exhibit hope that all of the towns
people will avail themselves of this
opportunity to visit their school and to
become better, acquainted with the

to day.
CHRISTMAS VACATION
The school closed Wednesday after
noon. Dec. 23, for the holiday vacation
and will reopen Monday morning, Jan.
4. Exercises appropriate to the. sea
son were held in the high school and
grades. The teachers are spending the
Christmas vacation at their respec
tive homes as follows : Mr. Bates in
town, Mr. Metcalf at his home in
Hydeville, Miss Ferrin at Holland,
Miss Curry at Longmeadow, R. I.,
Miss Hazel Harris at her home in
Orleans. .The grade teachers will
spend the vacation at the following
places: Miss Holbrook, Mrs. Jennings
and Mrs. Heath in Barton. Miss Eld
ridge at her home in Orleans, and Miss
Renfrew in Peacham.
The Latin I class spent a very pleas
ant social evening Thursday, Dec. 1,
at the home of Miss Leda Hawkins, a

an organization for the purpose of
arousing more interest and enthusiasm
in the daily work, with the election of
the following officers : President, Miss
Marjorie Fisk; vice-president. Miss
Bessie Stone ; secretary and treasurer.
Miss Amy Owen. After a short busi
ness meeting, an interesting program
was enjoyed by all, followed by light
refreshments. The meeting closed
with the singing of several Latin and
Barton academy songs.
SCHOOL NO'ES
School closed Wednesday afternoon
of last week for the Christmas re
cess The winter term will begin on
Monday next. Despite the postpone
ment of school in the fall owing to the
infantile paralysis epidemic, the term
just completed covered thirteen school
weeks.
Appropriate exercises were held in
nearly all the grades. In the high
school there was an interesting pro
gram presented by the training girls.
At the conclusion of the program
the; faculty added a feature which was
designated as "giving Christmas pres
ents by the grab bag method." The
teachers had previously prepared, un
known to the pupils, enough bags of
"sugarcoated popcorn" and unlabel'ed
presents for the pupils to pass forward
and receive The student body ross and
passed forward for the popcorn f.nd
little green packages Much merri
ment was produced when it was found
that the packages contained all sorts
of toys, such as horns, toy animals,
blocks, whips, canes and the like.
So far the skating rink, which was
formerly opened to the public a few
nights ago, has done a paying busi
ness. About $18 worth of season tick
ets have been sold. The ice is in
excellent shape. Prospects are that the
tkating will be good all winter. The
rink is open to anyone caring to pay
either the price of a season ticket, or
the price of single admissions.
Mr. Carpenter, who has been given
the contract to lay the floor in the old
building now called Barton hall, began
his work this week. Some repaying is
necessary before the floor will actually
be laid. In all probability the work
will be completed in a few weeks.
Thus will be opened to the boys and
girls of the school a fine hall 35 by 65
feet, where social functions may be
had and indoor athletics conducted. In
all probability this new feature of the
life of the school will, be nucleus about
which we may hope to buildup the
social, physical and moral side of the
lives of our pupils.
Frank Robinson, '15, has returned to
school after a long illness, and we are
all mighty glad to see him back.
And now we know the secret for all
those Junior class meetings, the Junior
reception.

given out in the high school last week.
