The Montpelier storekeepers complain

goods at their SO cent store cheaper than

get some kind Of law passed to shut the

Freemen Of St. Johnsbnry, let your votes
be forthcoming next Tuesday. Remember
that the ballot is opened at one o'clock in
the afternoon. Remember also that there
will be desperate effort made by the Po-
land party to carry the town, and their hope'
Of doing it is based on the probabilities THAI
while their men are all prepared to come
out, the opposition will not be out in full
force. Show to the state that st. Johns
bury is at last free from the ring who haze
ruled

toes, or anything which villagers want, to
sell, are invited to leave notice of the guam
tity and price at the FARMER office, that we
may lay their propositions before the cOuu-
Gil. Soveregns can also make known their
wants and inspect the list Of articles offered
by Patrons A careful record of the wants
and propositions of both societies made
known through this Office will be kept for
the inspection of both societies.
Mr.. Ralph Galbraith left his wife and
children in St. Johnsbury about four years
ago and disappeared, and his wife finally
concluded that he was dead. Last spring,
however, he put in an appearance and stayed
in the bosom of his family few weeks,
when it transpired that he had another wife,
and that she promised to make a
fuss if he didn't return. Galbraith left
town, and before he had been gone long his
wife found that he was living with wife No.
2 at Nashua, N. II. She followed. and the
result is that he languishes in Jail in Nashua
in default of $500 bonds for appearance on
a charge of bigamy.
We wish to see the prosperity of st.
Johnsbury increased. We feel a pride in
its present prosperity, and in the fact that
this is not only large manufacturing viii
lage but growing village. But there are
certain drawbacks in the way of prosperity
which should be removed. The high price
OF goods, driving many away to trade, is
one Of these, and this even now is beginning
to disappear. Prices have begun to fall,
and they will continue to do so, we trust,
until they strike a reasonable basis. Anoth-
er thing that we need is a good, 6rst-class
hotel, where one can get good food, good
lodgings and the convenienOcs usually found
at hotel. We are sorry to say the village
lacks this. Men here on business frequent
ly 60 to Lyndonville to stop over night,
simply to get better hotel accommodation.
Can't this be mended2 There is no better
place for the right kind of man to build a
hotel than St. Johnsbury.
