Cold weather is coming aud people are
beginning to set up stoves for fall and win
ter. In many parts Of the village defect
i've pipe might start fire which would
sweep down dozen buildings before it
could be checked Our long immunity from
destructive fires is in good part due to the
efficient service Of the fire wardens, and we
trust they will keep sharp lookout. A
few hours time may save thousands OF dol
lars
Mr.. A. c. Babbtt, of Greensboro, is
coming here to open store il Odd Fellows
Block. The south room on the first floor is
being finished off as fast as possible for his
use, where he locates for FIVE years at an
annual rent of s525. He will keep dry
and fancy goods and groceries Though
Mr.. Babbitt is said to be a respectable
dealer, we don't see the need of another
store here until there is more business than
our present mercha Is can do.
The high price meat in st. Johnsbury

unenced running cart. He comes three
times a week, Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Fridays, distance of over fifteen miles, and

10 to II, and corned beef 8 to 8 cents per

Where could body Of Sovereigns of In.
dustry be instituted to greater advantage
than in St. Johnsbury? Here are from
1000 to 1900 mechanics who could receive
benefit from the society. Cooperation in
buying their supplies, alone, where Local
prices are as high as in this village, would
save them ten times the amount OF the nee
esary expenses of the order. Workmen
think about it. Are you not as capable o
mutual self-protection as the farmers, who
are having such success with the grange?
Earnest Carr, of the Center, don't thiul
we did right in CHASING him with his broth
er, G. A. Carr, as a dead beat. We under
stand that Earnest is generally considered
ta-, honorable man, but he should remem
Der that even u printer has some right
which other people are bound to re- pect
lie made a mistake in not refusing q. A
Cars paper as soon as the latter wen
away, and as he did not do so the law hold
him responsible for all arrearages, thong
we were willing to settle by his paying 10
what papers he had had but he refuse
this, which was our reason for CHASING hiI
with his brother.
