A Scrap Of paper saves her life.

1t was Just an ordinary scrap of wrap
ping paper, but it saved her life. She was
in the last stages of consumption, told by
physicians that she was incurable and
could live only short time; she weighed
less than seventy pounds. On piece of
wrapping paper she read of DR.. Kings
New Discovery for consumption, and got
a sample bottle; it helped her, she bought
large bottle, it helped her more, bought
another and grew better fast, continued
its use and is now strong, healthy, rosy,

PUT on THE CHECK.

Editor SITTER The managers of the
Battenkill Valley Fair at Manchester
adopted rule, this year, that no exit
checks should be given; that the oats
stay out or pay. This rule may have been
and probably was Inspired by mercena-
ry spirit. and while it failed to obtain the
desired result it solved problem that
has bothered the management since the
birth of the organization. There has not
been fair held upon the grounds when
intoxicating liquor has given so little
trouble as It has during this fair, and
think it is no exageration to say that the
mo check" rule proved stronger pre-.
ventive to drunkenness on the grounds
than fifty appointed police. 1t killed the
hidden repositories just outside the limits
OF the grounds and beyond the possible
beat of the police. A gentleman living
IN Manchester Centre owned a small ont
building used as catch-all and seldom
visited; there was a small window in the
backside, with one pane of glass out.
This building stood within half a mile of
the fair ground. Last spring the owner
removed some old fence pickets stored in |
this building and found "a empty pint
and half pint bottles, which had evident
ly been put through the open window
pane This year the empty bottles were
mostly left upon the grounds and in in
nocent wagons, the writer found one in
his, and as true as he lives and breathes
he never put it there.
How are the advocates of high licence
going to dry up the secret, hidden
repositories of the sly serpent, whiskev,
by creating one of the worst and most
powerful monopolies that this continent
ever saw, by placing in the hands of a
few rich men the control of trade of
line hundred millions annually? This
monopoly will have to place a policeman
IN every square acre of land in the Uni
ed States to even check drunkenness.
But that is not the object of the would
,e monopoly. They can sell everybody
wo or three drinks then if they go to
ecret dens and get drunk it is not their {
ault. Better for the people to adopt 1
no check" rule, strong prohbitory
aw, and do the best they can to enforce

TUESDAY.

Manning Us Winchester & Harris.
This was suit for damages alleged
to have been received by Bridget
Manning of Brattleboro, in Septem-
Der 1888. The plaintiffs testimony
tended to show that the defendants,
who are carpenters, were building a
house next to the plaintiffs on Elliot
stGeet, in the fall of '8S. Between
this new house and Mrs. Manning's
was driveway over which Mrs.
Manning has right of passage. Into
this way the defendants had dumped
some stone to be used in the construc-
tion of the cellar wall of the new
house. In passing over this way the
Iplaintiff stumbled against some of
these stones, and falling broke her
leg, for which injury she brought suit.
The defendants testimony tended
to show that the plaintiff instead of
falling over stones placed in the way
by them, did fall on her own land
against an obstruction there, and that
her own negligence contributed to
her injury.

of the statue. 1t will be one of the
handsomest statues on the field of
