BETWEEN TWO DAY8 !
Did you ever look at it in this light? Between two days
you become unassurable. One day you are assurable the
next you cannot secure assurance at any price. This is true
not alone of you, but of every man. There comes a time in
his life when, between two days, he becomes unassurable. Do
you know when your day will come? Do you know that it
isn't to-day?
You may have assurance
less than a year ago perhaps only a month ago and yet you
may be unassurable to-day. You passed the medical examina
tion then possibly you couldn't do it now.

actlng aa attorney for the Montpelier and
Wells River rallroad, flled a motlon to re
commlt tho report to the commlssioners on
tbe ground that they had found no damagos
for tho rallroad bocauso of the establlsb
mont of a grade crosalng at tbat polnt. Mr.
Lamson also clalma in bia motlon that un
der exlatlng laws. a highway cannot be lald
acroas a rallroad at grade, and that this
questlon must flrst be declded by tho rall
road commlssioners. It la also claimed that
not only the publlo good and prlvate con
vonlence for sucb a highway mustbe ebown,
but tbat the absolute necossity for sucb a
road and bridgo mutt bo made clear. Judgo
Start will probably rulo on Mr. Lamson'a
motlon aomo time during tbe presont term
of Washington county court, and lt the mo
tlon to rr commlt the report to tho commis
aloners prevalls the old straw must agaln
be tbreshed. In the meantlme the Pioneer
and South Main street bridgeaaccommodato
publlc travel. Following tbese exceptlons
by tho rallroad came the clty of Montpelier,
tbrough Clty Attorney F. P. Carleton with
an exceptlon that bids fair to vitiate the en
tlro work of tbo commlssionors. Attorney
Carleton clalms that H. W. Nlcbola, of
Middlesex, who sat on the commlsslon with
W. P. StalTord of St. Johnsbury and Leroy
Kent of Calais waa never appointed by tbo
court for thla posltlon, but that H. B.
Nichola, the Middlesex merchant was tho
man named by Judge Munson; tbat H. W.
Nlcbola ia also lncapacitated to alt ln sucb a
commlsslon because ot hia relations with
tho petltloners; that tbe petltlon was vold
because of its having been brought under
the wrong atatuto. and that tho report
abonld be rejected because it sbows sucb a
multipllclty ot dangera ln tbe propoaed
crossing of railroada. Judge Stari'a reply
to all tbese exceptionB will be awaited with
much intereat. It Ia an undlsputed fact
that tbo court intended to appoint H. B.
Ntchola, the represontatlve from Middlesex
in tho Ieglalaturo of 180C, aa a member of
the commlaaion, and lt was auppoaed that
he bad been appointed until H. V. Nlchols
appeared and took hia placo witb the other
commlssioners. At the samo time tbe lat
ter was regularly appointed, although bo
waa unknowu to the court or the partlen at
Intereat. Tbls leaves the case at present
very much ln a muddle.
Iu Meuiorlam,
At a meeting of tho school board held last
Saturday ovening, T. C. Phinney, Tliomaa
Marvin and J, A. DeBoer, the committee ap-
tointed to draft resolutious on the death of Dr.
I. G. Kcmp, for many years secretary of the
board, reported tbe following, wlnch wero
unanimously adopten:
Tho school commissioncrs for tho City of
Montpelier and the trustees of tlio Washington
County Grammar School record with great ro
gret the death ofDr. Dean G. Kemp, tho lato
secretary of this board. Our duty, here, dooa
not reiiuiro of us that detailed recognition of
his professioual and publie services, which
their conspicuous quality. merit and deserve.
But wo have worked witli liim so longandever
found him so ready to tho task, that it would
bo uunatural if wo did not bear testimony to
tlio estcem in which we hold the man and his
work.
His professional services, on account of tiioir
long contimianco and skill, in this community,
at least, havo seldom been equalled or surpass
ed. To natural capacity for tlio scienco and
art of medicino, be adiled careful preparation
for its practico, and all this was supplemented
by sucb unreruitting toil from day into nigbt
nnd into dav again that f ow men can be said to
have introduced their services into moro honica
tliroiiRliout this section. No mau was so poor,
no cali so untimely, and 110 distant, cross
country rido so laborious that it found him
either unwillinir or unready to respond in tho
spirit of hia lugh professional oath. In all
kinds of weather, over all kinds of roads, in
sunshine or storm nnd year after year, ho mado
his way to the bedsido of the sick. It was tho
ruark of tho man that he did this up to tbe very
eud of bis own life, caring for othersa when ho
himself was very ill and oftentimes in greater
need of the pliysician than tho patient whom ho
servcd.
He did his work checrfully, wisely and well.
Measured by any standard of effectivo results,
liij contribution to tho health, comfort nnd
liappiness of tlio town and country in which be
toiled was unspeakably great. And it must
givo to him in tlio professional annals of this
section n doservedly highand honorablo rank.
In his capacity as citizen, Dr. Kemp, for
many years, was an earnest, honest, straight
forward momber of tbia board. He was nover
absent from ita meotings, oxcept for serious
canso, and never present that he did not faith-
tully accept lus tull sliaro 01 1113 responsibuities
and constnntly act, according to his judgmont,
to provido oflicient scbools. Many a timo has
ho been summoned from its meetings to respond
to n call tor professional servico, wiucli, bavmg
di3charged, lio would promntly return to hia
seat to discliarge his publio duty tbero.
Wo desiro to expres3 tlus tact ot our appro
ciation and to record his death. at the close of
his loug kept records, ns a losstohis profession,
to our city and our scliools.
