Wheat CleanedSix Times

"The equipment for wheat cleansing:Is as extensive and expensive as thatfor grinding purposes. The freedomof flour from dirt and bacteria showsin its appearance."

Prof. Wm. Jago.in National Association Review.

Wheat specially selected for WilliamTell Flour is stored in hermeticallysealed tanks, at Ansted & Burk's bigmills.

It is cleaned six times before grinding.Everything even the sewing of the

bags is done by clean.bright machinery.Note how much purer William Tell is

than other flours. This means wheatcleaning by the most complete equip-ment known to modern milling science.William Tell Flour has the brilliant"bloom such as only Ohio wheat can make.

CHAPTER VII.COURTS AND THE BAR

This chipter is largely gleaned from F. W. Baldwin's "Biography of theBar of Orleans Couucy," published by him in 1886. This work: contains over3 J0 pages and is of great value. In his historical chapter , he says:"In 17y9 the legislature established courts in Orleans county, but providrdtbat the supreme court should not meet ia said county until directedf by afuture act of the legislature; that all causes proper to come before the su-

preme court should be tried acd determined before that court at its sessionin Danville, in the county of Caledonia. Brownington and Craftsbury weremade half shire towns lor the time being, but tne act provided that no per.manent place be established for the county buildings until five j ears from

While the town of Craftsbury was one ofthe shires of the county, courts were held in a building which stood upon thesame lot where Craftsbury academy now stands. The oldest residents re-

member it as "the old court house." From the best information I can obtainit was built by the town or the citizens of the town of Craftsbury, and it wasnsed for a time for the purposes of court house, town house and church; andabout 1830 the town toott it away and built a new town house upon the site,and subsequently when the town house was built at South Craftsbury, thetown presented the old one to the academy corporation. Iam informed thatCol. Joseph Scott's buttery was used for a jail. At Brownington courts wereheld in the echoolhouse of district number one, (the only school district intown at that time) a one-stor- y, four-roofe- d building, just about large enoughto hold comfortably the judges, jurors, and officers of the court. This build-ing was situated about a mile north of where Brownington village stands, onthe old road to Derby. Judge Strong's cellar was used as a jail when occa-sion demanded. In 1812 the legislature established the shire at lrasburgh, assoon as the inhabitants of that town, within four years, should build a courthouseand jail to the acceptance of the judges of the supreme court. In 1815

a court house and jail were built and accepted, so that the August term, 1816,of the county court was held at lrasburgh. The court house built at that timewas used for that purpose until 1847, when it was moved off and a new oneconstructed upon the tite at an expense of about four thousand dollars; thiswas also built by the town of lrasburgh at no expense to the county. Tniscourt house was used by the county until the one now in use at Newport ,waserected. The jail built in 1815 was made of logs hewn square and put oneupon another tor the wails, and ceiled witn three-inc- n hardwood plank.Tnis structure was used for a jail until 1833, wnen it was taken down and astone building eighteen feet square and two stories high was erected. Tillswas found to be too small, and was not considered safe; hence in 1861 thelegislature authorized the county judges to raise three thousand dollars forthe purpose of building a new jail. In 1862 a jail 26x36, two stories high andbuilt; of the best oi granite was completed and afterward used for a jail. In1884 the legislature passed an act locating the shire of Orleans county in sometown on the Connecticut and Passumpsic Rivers railroad, said place to be se-

lected by a committee of tjree to oe appointed oy the governor."(To be continued.) &0333O03Q03 For Sale by G&oe&tZ&Zi
