Caution to the Public,

AS there are numerous Combinations in the field
attempting to present the Comic Opera of a. M. s
T1naIore on the reputation of the Boston Pinafore
company, we would respectfully ask the public to
carefully note the cast of this company. We take
pleasure IN announcing company of artists es
i've roles in this bright sparkling and jolly satire
a company that will stand upon its merits. At the
spared the anguish of hearing Sulliyan's charming
music murdered and seeing a neat satire coarsely
66urIesqued, simply for fun. The Boston Pinafore
company, with Mrs. ii. e. H Carter Soprano and
Mr. j; G. Bartlett Tenor, appear only at Lake
Memphremagog and Newport Sept. II, IL and 10.

The st. Johnsbury Clothing Co.
have rented the north room in Union
Block, where the Boynton hardware
store has been kept, and rumor has it
that it is to be fitted up at once, an
archway cut through into the present
clothing store, and the entire floor to
be occupied by the Clothing Co. This
will give them about double the room
they now occupy.

Edward M. Ide has sold out the
mercantile business to W. F. Kelley
and E. j. Stone, who have also bought
the store and stock of goods. The new
firm will be styled Kelley & Stone, who
have already taken possession. Mr..
Kelley is well known to the people of
this vicinity, having been in this same
store with the former prOprietors for
the past six years. Mr.. Stone was two
years in the employ of the Passumpsic
R. R., and during the last year has
made tour of the west including Cal
ifornia, and is now content to return to
his native town and "settle down.
The new firm will carry on all the
business of a country store, buying

low prices.

This band has been engaged for the

The Denison News speaks right
out in meeting and says: 1--WE hope
Texas may never be divided Unto two
or more states. We have too much
state pride to wish to see our great
state dismembered. But to arrest such
calamity, as division, the people must
send wiser men to tie legislature than
they have done of late years. The
progressive people of north Texas are
not to be held back by the moss backs
whe are forty years behind the age;
neither will they consent much loneer
to drag these pull. backs by their coat
tails. The people Of north Texas ia.
vor immigration and a liberal system
of free schools, and will never let up
uctil The proper legislation is secured
to promote these twin interests" We
can assure the News that the people of
western Texas will go hand in hand
with the people 81 north Texas on
these questions.-l San Antonio Ex-

The Waco Examiner processes a
fear ABOUT the young democracy of
Texas, and c,,aracterises it as an at
tempt to divide the party. As we un-
derstand the situation the object of the
young democracy" Is to save the par
ty and state, and put an end to the
retrogreasion made in the name of the
democracy. 1t is proposed to make
the democratic party Of Texas the
,iarty Of progress and enlightenment; 4
parity that will attract converts aud in
crense in nurlbcrs by tie sheer force
of the excellence of its principles, and
not a party chat attempts 10 hold itself
together BY virtue alone of the name
it bears. The principles and useful
ness of the democratic party are too
dear and of too much Importance TO
the country to have its party ezistencG
longer .ieopardized as it has been in
this state the past year. There must
be reform or rout. 1t is not propos.
