Spreading the Story.

The story of the Alamo is being in
directly told in the London (England)
Weekly Budget, paper of a circula-
ton of over half a million readers,
by Major Alfred r. Calhoun, in his
novel, 1.-THE Alamo, a romance of
Texas" An interesting web of fiction
is woven around the story, but the
historical data is good and cannot fail
to impress hero-loving Englishmen
with veneration for those who gave
their lives that Texas might be free.

Farmers are well nigh discouraged

Cider and jelly making is a great
business hereabouts. With the jelly
making we find no fault, but we have
our doubts about the cider making
and selling being strictly right. True,
cider in its unfermented state is harm
less, but let the sugar be changed to
alcohol, as it will change in a few
days, and it is as bad as rum or
whiskey. Now isn't the maker and
seller more or less interested in the
making of drunkards? We believe
he is, and before the tribuna, which
we must all face, he will be held ac-
countable in some degree for the ruin
wrought by cider. "But where can
we draw the line?" some one asks.
Around the tree just above the ground.
When that is doue four fifths of the
drunkenessess and tippling will cease.

Two THOUSAND MILES TO MEET HER
LOVER

LovER
A little bit Of romance recently oc-
Cured connecting Vermont and Col.
orado. A year or more ago an es.
teemed young man, Everett f. Goold,
of Chester went to Colorado for the
purpose of making a home in the
great andgrowing West. After STOP
ping awhile at Colorado Springs he
finally settled at Manitou Springs.
Then it was that the divine injunction
came home to him with force and Wig
or, that it was not good for man to be
alone, and his thoughts came back to
old Vermont and entwined themselves
around the little damsel to whom he
had plighted his love and receive in
return from her vow, that his peo-
pie should be her people and whittier
soever he might go, she would go also.
During this time of separation (long,
to them, doubtless, they never forgot
their VOWS nor plighted faith; in
heart and soul he oft visited the
scenes of his childhood and knelt be-
side his early manhood's love, while
she wandered in her dreams to the
land of the buffalo, and her spirit
found rest around the foot hills OF
Pixies Peak. This fall, he having
secured home, they resolved to be
united and, like sensible yankees, to
save expense-money that they might
need in making their start in life-it
was agreed that she should go to him.
On the 25th, of last month Miss
Lula l. Harrington of Chester babe
adieu to her mother and many warm
friends, and with light heat STEP
ped aboard of the train that was to
take her, two thousand miles, and to
the arms of her noble lover.
The young lady arrived safely at
Colorado Springs on Sunday, where
she met the object of her long ride,
and on the following day, at the resi-
dence of N. o. johnson, a former
resident of Chester, "they two were
made one fesh," and now are sat
home" at Manitou Springs.
Miss Harrington is the daughter of
Mrs. Elsie L. Harrington, and is
well known here, having spent her
childhood, with her mother, in this
village, going to Chester few years
ago. She had many warm personal
friends. This was abundantly testi-
fed to by those in Chester, who prior
to her departure met and presented
her with the following substantial
gifts:
l silver castor, l breakfast castor,
l individual castor, l silver cake bas-
ket, l silver spoon-holder, l silver
sugar she'll and butter knife in case,
l silver, gold lined wine cup, 1-2 doz.
solid silver tea spoons, doz. silver
knives, l doz. silver forks, 1-2 doz.
silver fruit knives, l-2 doz. silver nut
picks, 1-2 doz. silver tea spoons,
silver sugar shell, 2 table and 2 des-
ert spoons, l silver mustard spoon,
fork, damask towel, china
mug, | vinegar cruet, pr. lace pill
low shams, 4 pr. linen towels, Z pr.
pillow slips, sheets, comfortables
2 pr. pillows, 2 table cloths, l cameo
bosom pin, 2 cabinet photographs,
pr. vases, 40 lbs. maple sugar, IS lbs.
butter.
The many Vermont friends of the
young couple will be pleased to learn
of the full fruition of their hopes and
aspirations, and the SITTER follows
them to their new home in the fa1
West and presents its greeting.
