" Homer Rushford.
Homer Rushford died. Sunday even
ing at the Cleasby hospital in Or
leans, where he had been for a week
following an operation from a gun
wound received just one week before
while hunting m Glover. Mr. Rush
ford suffered: much during the . week
and made a marvelous fight for re
covery, but the wound was too se
vere . even for the rugged constitu
tion of Mr. Rushford to overcome.
Mr. Rushford was born in Mont
gomery August 21, 1874. He mar
ried Jennie JDuval at Richford Octo
ber 13, 1894, coming to Barton to
live 27 years ago. While here Mr.
Rushford has made a wide circle of
friends, having been in the trucking
business for himself and then was
clerk in a clothing store for some
time. He has interested himself in
public matters having been a member
of the . band for may years and has
served ' the village as fire chief for
several years.
Besides Mrs. Rushford, he leaves a
daughter, Mildred, an aged mother,
who is 92 years of age and blind, liv
ing in Richford, . four brbthers and
two sisters all living , in Franklin
county.
Funeral services were held f 6m
the Methodist church Wednesday af
ternoon, Rev. M. A. Turner officiat
ing and burial in Welcome O. Brown
cemetery. A strange incident of the
death and burial is that Mr. Rush
ford's father died and was buried nine
years ago this month and 1 on the
very same dates on which Homer's
death and burial occurred.
CARD We wish -to express our
very deep gratitude for the great
kindness and assistace rendered us
during the week of trial through
which we have passed. May hea
ven's richest blessing reward you.

County Jersey Cattle club, buyers
have been in Orleans county" from
different counties in Vermont, also
from Wisconsin and Missouri, . and
an order for. a carload of cows to go

not secure the cattle wanted. More
than $5000 has been left in Orleans
county this season for Jerseys by
outside buyers and more business is
expected next year as the secretary
has more inquiries all the time and

Owl 110939, have just 1 purchased a
son of Plain Mary (Champion Jer
sey cow of world) to head their herds.
Nichols and Perley have large herds
and are among Vermont's best Jer
sey breeders. It is needless to say
that the price paid for this son of
Plain Mary was a long- one. This
deal was brought about by the secre
tary of the Orleans County Jersey cat
tle club, who is the Vermont agent for
Mr. Gale, owner of the Plain Mary
herd. The membership of the Or
leans County Jersey Cattle club is
45.. Every Jersey man in the coun
ty, should join and help put Orlean:
Jerseys where they belong, at the
front.
E. L. Alexander of Glover has .add
ed to his herd of registered Jerse'-s
a young .bull that should be of frre'at
value to-his -fine herd. This calf is
a son of Vermont Owl 110939. Ver
mont Owl has 20 daughters in th:
Register of Merit and many more
daughters on test. The two grand
dams of Mr. Alexander's calf have
yearly official records that average
777.84 pounds of butterfat and 14,
795 pounds of milk in one year. This
young bull will be a credit to Mr.
Alexander's herd and to Orleans
county.
C. G. Philhjfook has also secured a
! yearling son of Vermont Owl 110939
to lisad his herd. The dam of Ver
mont Owl 110939 produced in one
year 17,056 pounds of milk and 863,
12 pounds butterfat. As Vermont
Owl has great size as well as great
producing ancestors" and is a great
sire himself it is easily seen why his
sons and daughters are in good de
mand. .' ' ' ' " ' ' ". " .

SOUTH END SENATORSIIIP
Locke of Orleans and Gilpin of Bar
ton Both "Mentioned." .
To the Voters of Orleans County:
The time for the election of anoth
er Vermont legislature will sooa
come. In view oi this fact 4t seems
opportune to bring to the attention
of the voters of the county the qual
ifications of one from the south end
of the county who would be able to
represent Orleans county in the
state senate. We refer to O. W.
Locke of Orleans,, whose many
friends would like to see him go as
senator to Montpelier. Let us re
mind the voters of a few of his ex
cellent qualifications.
1. " Mr. Locke has had a lonp and
varied experience with Vermont
business and general conditions, eco
nomic, social, educational. A11 hia
life he has lived in the state and in
Orleans county. He has served his
village and town in many public ca
pacities and always with skill. He
has served as representative from
Barton town and has this intimate
touch with legislative activity.
2. After a long career in business
during which time he acquired a
competence he has retired from that
specific line, not to be one of the has
beens, but willing that others should
enter into his business bpportuni
ties. ' As senator he would not be
taking time that could hardly be
spared from business ife, but would
be able to devote himself without
stint to the public service.
-3. The possession of a keen analy
tic mind is not the least of his qual
ifications. 'It. is understood in his
own village and town that when he
speaks on a public question which
he has had time to analyze and think
through he leaves but little more to
be said. He has the ability to go to
the heart of the matter and to pick
out what is vital in it. He is clear
and incisive in utterance as well as
in thought. And this ability is of
the first moment in the work of a
lawmaker.-
4. In addition to a keen analytic
mind Mr. Locke possesses the right
spirit and feeling on questions of
public moment. He seeks the pub
lic good. He keeps the integrity of
his own heart. He could represent
no merely partisan or factional in
terest. With ability to understand
and to interpret the public desire he
possesses the will to put it into law.
Sincerely yours.
F. C. Brown.
Orleans, Vt., November 15, 1921.'

Stanstead (P. Q.) Journal
We have been wondering' who
would be a candidate for-the state
senate from the south end of the
Jw?ir0i 0r??ns- I reported
that Wallace H. Gilpin of the Or
leans County Monitor, Barton, will
be a candidate. There is probably
no man in the southern area of the
county better fitted to take this
work. Mr. Gilpin has served effi
ciently on the state board of educa
tion and other state-wide activities.
He is a state-wide man in both ser
vice and acquaintance. No man in
the state has done more for the pub
licity of Vermont than has he. The
sbuth-end report that he is to be a
candidate for. the next senate, is cer
tainly good news.' IIij standing at
the. north end of the county is the
very best. ' "
