' FORT DUMMER HEIGHTS LAST SPRING THIS TRACT WAS A PASTURE. conceived, fmaneed and built, by l.rattle boro men. The biiildinK "f the colton null made feasible and neeesHary the reloeiition of the southern end of South Xbnn street, which is nearly completed. This will cost several thousand dollars and is a develop ment to be included in the buil'lintf record for the vear. Tlunit-'h there is no way nt gettinK n'n ncciiriite estimate of the amount of repair ami alteration work done on house, stores and industrial plant tin item will run hitch into the thousand ol dollars. ... While the record of 1!U will probably not be ftiualled for a number of years 'I he Kcformcr is assured that another industry of equal iiniKirtanee to the Kurt Dummcr Mills is likely to be found in the record of the coming year. There are also reasons to believe that the dream of Hi att hiborn people for electric connection with the out side world will come true and tlmt inside of five years it will be possible to reach Brattleboro from the south throimh North field, Mass., and South X'eiTion by trolley. This opinion is based upon statements ot men back of several enterprises in which the welfare of lirattleboro is vitally con cerned. , , , 1 The bit? mill. t,le nucleus of the textile industry which Brattlchnro not only hopes but firmly expects to see established, has been completed. -Probably ""i per cent of the people ef the town have seen the structure and descriptions of the biiihlitiif that have appealed from lime to lime in J he Reformer have kept the lirattleboro people informed of the progress of the woii, which started late last May. I he building is 321 feet in length. 1120 feet wide, and three stories in height. Its capacity is 35,000 spindles and (US looms. The heat ing plant is housed in a separate building as are also the electric transformers. The company has so planned the structure as to permit the building of another mill of the directly north of the present building, and the chances arc that this en largement will come in tne near iiiunc. provided for "1 families i.t the extreme southern end -of the village. Estimates have been made that Uratlli' hero's balance sheet for 1011 .will show $7.111.1".

A street was cut through the property to Maple street and named Bel mont nven lie. Development has begun on this avenue where II. P. Emerson has five thoroughly modern houses of seven and eight rooms tinder construction. They will be ready for occupancy within two months. On South Main street Charles Xason has built a two-tenement- house and Hubert Slehhins a cottage structure. Carl Kkbcrg and Carl ("iustavson have built commodi ous homes on Fail-view street and K. B. Barrows has four cottage houses completed oirtiir Putriam place in Ksteyville. These houses are designed to accommodate fami lies of moderate size. Prospect street has mcnt on Canal sheet. There has been practically no building on .Main street with the exception of the addition to the Brooks library building and Hie finishing f the Xlasonic temple on which work was started last year. The library addition will not only provide a large "a lint of much needed room, but will add greatly to the architectural beauty of this public building. OBITUARY. MBS. J. A. TAYLOR.

But to make it payable in monthly instalments, fixed, certain, definite, in such a way that the housewife may know just how she stands just how much she can relv on it doesn't have to be a large amount-and make her arrangements accordingly, that is the ideal way in which to finance the insurance problem. And the Life Income, which a man thus arranges for his family, is paid promptly on the first day of every month like a pension or a salary. There is no attorney or banker to consult, no agent to employ, not a penny of expense is required to collect the amount. It will be sent by mail from the Home office of the New York Life Insurance Company once a month. All a man's wife or family has to do is to receive it from the postman, when he brings it to the door. This income cannot be lost or depreciated; it is as safe and sure as a pension from the government. Should every other investment, which the family might have, fail, this monthly income would be the one resource, always certain and secure. The great New York Life Insurance Company with 650 million dollars assets guarantees this.
