Charles T.. Ingram began watching

1t is not a flattering commentary on
the efficiency Of our State p rohibllory law,
that out of the twenty three towns in
Windham county, but six have agents an
pointed for the sale Of liquors, under the
statute. And Brattlebpro is not one of the
six.
We would call attention to c. f.
Thompson x Co.'S advertisement, which al
ways appears on our first page. Their
stock Of goods is always large, and Of the
best quality. The long experience Of the
senior partner of the firm. and their ample
capital, enable them 10 buy always at the
lowest, the benefit Of which they give to
their customers. Their motto is "The best
goods at the lowest prices" and is strictly
adhered to.
The invitation cards for the masauer-
AIDE ball, which, we observe, bear the i'm
print of the Union Printing Company" of
this village, are very creditabe piece Of
Workmanship. The design is tasteful and
appropriate, and in typography, color and
rcsS-work we rarely see the job excelled.
Nothing could have been gained, evident
ly, by going out Of town for the work-a
Tact which those in want of fine printing
will do well to bear in mind.
Rev. MIR. Mighill's sermon on Sunday

were clearly pointed out to the minds of
the young. Brief extracts from some of
the dead senator's addresses were read
showing his unrivalled power as an ora
tor and exhibiting his admirable qualities
of mind and heart.
The Flyers sisters (coloredD gave n con-
cert at the town hall on Tuesday evening,
which only lacked a good audience, n COM
Portable atmosphere, and sufficient gas
light to afford mutual recognition between
audience and singers, TO make II n success.
The programme was an excellent one, and
the singers themselves among the most tai
entcd that We have lately listened TO.
Should the troupe visit our town again,
they may at least be assured of having a
better audience than greeted their first ap-
pearance in Brattleboro.

THE Old FOLKS CONCERT EXCURSION

bodied in an item published last week, the
gentleman who had the matter of trans
portation in charge makes the following
statement
