    RESIDENCE OF S. L. GRIFFITH

    news-clippings
    FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1902

Griffith were last week newly concreted by Rutland parties, and the deft brushes of Painter White and assistants have made bright the long stretch of step leading to the house. With closely-cut lawn and an abundance of flowers, the handsome residence make a very pleasing impression upon all strangers who visit our village, and we hear many favorable comments passed upon it.

    Absorbed in his business, oppressed by its care,
    He was seized by disease, and sank from it there;
    And being possessed by an unyielding will,
    He sought his physicians—it baffled their
    The best of trained nurses lie sought to obtain,
    Yet, do what they would, their efforts were vain;
    His unyielding nature, that failure would spurn,

    news-clippings
    ​Hon. S. L. Griffith of Danby, Vt., who is making a tour in the East., is evidently a fish and game leaguer. He has cabled that he has played and won at Monte Carlo and his latest is that he has bathed in the river Jordan and the Dead sea.
