found in Mr.. Mason genuine Berkshire

One OF The important questions to b
decided Is the choice Of County Commits
siOner for the ensuing year. Many con
slider this an uBimportant matter, and dc
not even care enough about it TO deposit
ballot. But we hope all will. this year,
realize its importance aud uofe. IL is an
established fact, that during the past year
less liquor has been sold in the county
than during the year previous. and We at
tribute the result, in part, to the Commits
sioner, who has made excellent selection
in the choice Of agents.
Col. BoyntOn has executed the duties
Of his Office consistently with his temper.
incc principles, and so far as we know,
lcceptably to the county. He is again
before the citizens for their suffrages,-
not from bis own choice, but at the earn
st solicitations of the friends of temper
'ancc,-and we hope will be elected by
large majority.

Those who remember what he had said on
that subject knew that he had based his

which the kuklux themselves would be
willing to stand. Speaking CT the causes

Morton said that there is rebellion still at

How 10 go West"

Forty years ago, Illinois was as ia
West as most people wished to 90, anC
journeys were made in the leocndar,
"Prairie Schooner" but in these days @
Progress and Improvement the wOrr
West has come 70 mean Iowa, Nebraska
Kansas, Colorado, California and til,
Territories, and the traveller reaches al
most any point therein BY a splendid
Line of Railroad.
This Line Of Railroad is the Burling.
ton Route, which starts from Chicago by
the Chicago, Burlington 4 Quincy Rail-
road, and, running through Burlington,
reaches Omaha, Lincoln, Nebraska City,
st. Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth and
Kansas City, connecting with the Union
Pacific, Kansas Pacific, and other rail-
roads running from those cities.
People going to Iowa, Nebraska, Kan
sas, California, or any point in the Terri
tories, will study their own interests by
going by way of Burlington" for the
rates of that Line are always as low as
any other, and it is the best Route in the
West, therefore you are more sure of our
safety and comfort.
The Burlington Route has admirably
answered the question "How to 60 West 2"
by the publication of an excellent pam
phlet, containing large, truthful map of
the Great West, and much interesting and
valuable information which can be obtain
I'd, free Of charge, by addressing General

Vermont and Her Precincts.


The Berkshire County Eagle, publish
ed at Pittsford, Mass, says Of Vermont
that she is like choice parcel done up il
a small package. Look at her on the man,
she covers on y n few inches and this lit.
tie space seems filed with mountains
Kidding through her territory, the travel.
er is impressed with the appearance Of
thrift In the farms and villages, her agri.
cultural resources, and her multiplied ln-
dustries, and comes TO the conclusion that
she is great State for her size. When
we tell Western farmers that Vermont
raises more corn to the acre than they do
they are incredulous. but the returns for
1870 show that in her agreeable corn pro.
ducts she leads the Union. In potatoes
also she is second only to California. OF
corn she raises 1916 bushels on the aver.
age per acre; of potatoes l40 bushels,
California producing AS. In her wool
and dairy products she takes the lead of
the New England States, having 1913, 600
milk COWS, and $4,000 sheep, while
Massachusetts, has only 1870, 800 cows.
and 10000 sheep. Her butter and
cheese are as famous for their quality,
the St. Adams market being resorted to
by hotel keepers and others who wish to
secure gilt edged article. But it is not
in her agriculture alone that Vermont is
great. Her forest and marble quarries
are sources of great wealth. Being an
inland State the forests have been undis.
turbed and the quarries idle. Now that
the railroads have furnished an access to
market, the keen Yankees have not been
slow to discover what resources they had
IN lumber and marble. Some of our
Berkshire men have gone to Vermont to
make their fortunes from her rocks. The
Messrs. Freddy of West Stockbrid
Mass, have opened quarry on Dorset
mountains, 1900 feet above the level off
the Harlem Extention railroad. from
which they are shipping 5000 tons of the
marble in year. To facilitate their
operations they have built, at cost of
$4,000 narrow guage railroad one
mile long, extending from the Harlem to
their quarry. That there is money in the
marble business is evident from the almost
palatial residences which some of the mar.
BILE men have built. Few country man.
sons nre more stately than that Of H. II. +
Baxter, who few years since projected
the Rntland Marble Company, which now
employees 800 men. This company does
not rely upon muscle power, simply in the
performance of labor. The channelino
machine which they use in getting ont
heir blocks does the work Of forty men
heir diamond pointed drills, driven bv
team, cut as much in five minutes as or.
linar drills in an hour. We were spr. i
'rlsed to notice the enterprise of that .
althfol democratic Congressman, W. H.
'arnum, the iron king of Connecticut, :
itself on the Green Mountains 7
IN the line Of the Harlem Extcntion. he
as bullta village, christened it Barnums.
llle' from which he ships daily, twelve
'ns Of charcoal to his furnaces in Counec. !.

DEAR NEwsDEALER.

DEAR NEwsDEALER.
You are welcome weekly visitor to
the M. &. Parsonage in Milton. We
hear many pleasant things from our friends
by you. We wish through you to say to
our friends that we are well. That dur
ing the year many have been converted
and reclaimed in Milton. During the
Union Meeting, in connection with the
week Of prayer, about 60 were forward
Tor prayers, and most of them obtained
clear evidence of conversion. Before and
since these meetings, others have come
into the light and liberty of the Gospel.
In our own Society about SO in all. 1t
has been a year of labor and prosperity.
10 God be all the Glory. Earnest prayer
is still offered for the conversion of many
more. Yours truly.

derful power fixed - the daring last look Of
despairing-" yet the face is that of woman,
one endowed with the, to her, alas fatal gift of
beauty. The glare Of light on a passing
boat, itself invisible, brings the agonized face
in strong relief against the almost siloutte
