school money in this county to the Der

thing for those two towns.
Whitmore g. Clark's troupe were here
Saturday evening. 1t is perhaps enough
to say that they maintained their for
mer reputation. Mr.. Clark is with the
troupe, but in rather poor health.
The MONITOR is only $3.50 in ad
vance. How about those old accounts
and notes? Try and get them squared
up before Jan. l. Those wishing club
papers should send in their orders early.
Hon. Russell S. Taft of Burlington,
was elected Supreme Judge by the leg
islature on Friday; this puts the judge
matter out of the way, and there is
better prospect of an eventual adjourn
ment of the legislature.
Fire caught in the floor of the Ufford
tenement house, which stands near the
Owen store, one night recently, and was
making quite good progress when it was
discovered. Almost a chance to test
that new engine and exercise that new
fire company.
The name of Judge L. H. Thompson
of lrasburgh is mentioned as a fit person
for Supreme Court Judge Mr.. Thomp-
son is good timber to make into this
class of furniture. and when they wish
to locate judge in this section of the
state, he will be not only fit, but a
strong candidate.
In the Supreme Court suit, l. K.
Drew as. Sutton, for damages sustained
on the highway near West Burke, the
judges are unable at present to agree
three are in favor of sustaining the ex-
ceptions made by the defendants coun-

tions are sustained, it is said that the
case is ended, and Mr.. Drew gets no
damages.
Unless there is less delay in forward
ing this paper to Holland and Morgan,
by the mail agents, somebody will hear
something drop. The MONITOR bundles
leaving here on Monday night should
reach Morgan and Holland, via the
Charleston route on Tuesday morning,
and by the Derby Line route on Tues
day afternoon. They are frequently
delayed until Thursday, and it is some
body's fault.
The $4,000 dentists in the United
States use half ton Of gold annually
in filling teeth, and there are made in
this country annually, not less than
100000 sets of artificial teeth. What
is more remarkable, however, is the fact
that not half of the people who need
dental work are made happy by visit
ing DIR. ]. A. Pearsons of Barton, fol
work in this line.
We are requested to publish the fol-

The lecture of Mr.. Ranslow of Wells
River, on Friday evening, was very in
teresting. He spoke of what he saw
and learned in his trip to the Sunny
South, and gave much useful and pleas
ing information in regard to that par
of our country. We noticed that neigh
Dor Chase of the Union cautioned The
lecturer about telling all he saw anc
learned in regard to his {Chase's) party
down there. Mr.. Ranslow is a very
discreet man and made no allusion tt
! politics, neither did be tell anybody
when he was down South, that he knew
Chase of the UnaOn.
Read G.. w. Preston's advertisement
for the Brooks ink. This ink has beer
used IN town for some time and ha
given good satisfaction. Mr.. Preston i

musical instrument which is played b

enough to turn the crank can play tn
instrument, and make perfect music.
