ChDY'S FALLS.

Last week Wednesday evening, about
the time the Cady's Falls team was start
ing for the band concert, the cry was raised
"A horse loose on the railroad track"
1t appears young man from Montpelier
by the name of Arthur Cheney, visiting
his parents at this place, drove one of d.
Dudley's spirited livery horses and while
a nephew of his was leading the horse to
water, it pulled away from him and
headed towards Morrisville the shortest
cut by rail, and met with an untimely end
at what is known as the Rider trestle.
Just as we expected, Supt. LeBaron
reports district No. at the head of the
general average. We always knew that
Cady's Falls Juveniles were the smartest
youngsters in town, if not in the world,
and one very good reason for it is that
we have been blessed with school marms
as near perfect as humanity will admit.
Hope Superintendent Powers will not
derange their faculties by tlattery.

CLOVER,

At the educational meeting held at this
place recently, we learned that Vermont
can boast of the first city in the Union
that Vergennes was made city in 1888.
The query is, if the people of that city
knew of the fact why Gid they not have
a centennial?
The month of January was said to be
the coolest at this place for many years.
February can be called as mild as for
many years.
Rev. N. W. Scott was called upon re-
Gently to give little of his experience in
teaching. He said that 63 years ago he
taught in this place, had so pupils and
remembered four families that sent 25
scholars. Spoke of writing. He set the
copies at home, but had to spend consid-
cradle time making and mending pens :;
often would have his hands full of quilts
to make or mend. He felt that he had
not kept up with the times in teaching.
The spring term of school commenced
Tuesday. The principal, Mr.. Waterman,
from Barre. has gwen very good salts
faction the past fall and winter.
On the evening of February 20, Hon.
Justus Dartt gave an interesting lecture
to well filled house. He spoke of the
home training of the child and the pri-
mary school as being the foundation for
the education of our future men and
women. Although he spoke for more
than an hour, none seemed weary. He
named three manufactures in our own
State that are world renowned: The
name of Fairbanks is familiar to all coun-
tries: The Estey organ carries pleasure
to many home in distant lands, and the
Vermont marble marks the resting place
of loved ones in every cline. He thought
Vermont stood as high as her sister
state in many things, one of which is ed
ucation, yet he saw the need of better
schools and better teachers.
At the meeting of the G. A. r. Post on
Thursday of week before last, Johnnie
and Miss Carrie Prindle furnished music.

THE COUNTY TICKETS.

Now that both parties have placed in
nomination men for county and legisla-
tive positions, a cursory review of the
relative worth and standing of the two
sets of nominees is in order. That the
Democratic ticket has any claims over
the Republican, on any issue, cannot
be claimed, for the men put in the field
at last Tuesdays convention, are infer
ior as whole to the nominees OH the
Republican ticket, in every qualilica-
ton by which claims to public prestige
can be laid. 1t is the natural demand
of people that those to whom they
trust public affairs, be men of demon
strated executive ability, business dis
erection, and naturally sound judgment.
These three qualifications constitute
the worth of any official, and that the
Republican nominees, collectively, pos
sess these, cannot be questioned, forall
of them are men who have shown in
both private and public life that they
are not lacking in this particular. The
claims of the Rcrie@ that the Republi-
leans had not nominated able and rep
resentative men, seem to have been of
little value to its party when the Dem
ocratic slate was made up; for their
nominees are certainly men of more
limited experience, and more obscure
to the public. It's assertion that there
is but one farmer on the Republican
ticket, is born of gross carelessness, or
is willful misrepresentation, because
every one of the nominees for repre-
sentatives are directly or indirectly in
terested in agricultural pursuits. The
Democrats have failed to put up tick
ct that will justify desertiOn of the
Republican ranks to support it, and we
expect that every Republican voter
will vote straight, thereby leading the
ticket to the victory it deserves.
