The walks and driveways about the residence of Mr. S. L. 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.

My Dear Sir:- Your letter of recent date was received in due season. I enclose a little clipping taken from the St Albans Messenger. I thought I would not use it until I could verify it. So if Mr. Griffith did leave directions for his funeral and they are to be followed out I wish you would mail me today or tomorrow the plans for the funeral, who the officiating clergymen, the bearers, the singers, etc, will be.

​Hon. S. L. Griffith of Danby, Vt., who is making a tour in the East., is evidently a fish and game leaguer.

Next we will hear that he has played a game of bric-a-brac with Edward V two eyes.
