Hubs has been all over the country since he left our midst several years ago and has seen much of Uncle Sams’ domain. Hubs threatens to spend the winter with us and you will no doubt see him often. It is rumored on the streets that the interurban people will on the 15th of this month start their every hour and a half schedule that may last through the entire winter. How true this is we are unable at this time to state as w e have been unable to interview W. H. Fledderjohann. Frank McDorman received a letter from Harry Mote Friday which he said was well written and showed his mind to be in a normal condition. He , said he was feeling well and felt he ' had been there long enough and ex- | pressed a desire that his friends come and get him and bring him home so ! he can get to work. Mr. McDorman ' also received a letter from the physician in charge of his case, in which he stated Harry is much better and he has hopes he will continue so. This will be pleasing news to Mr. Mote s many friends here who have been of the belief that his case was hopeless, and ail will be glad to see him return in good health.— Montpelier Herald.
