leaving Saturday, September 9th.
The season for hunting partridges
opened September 1st.
The proposition of organizing State
Tennis Association is still being consid-
cred,
"A Rutland grain firm had some 3d.
| 600 bushels of corn and oats involved in
the burning of the large grain ELEVATOR
at Ogdensburg.
Mrs. Mary II. Dana of New Haven
exhibited eighty specimens of her skill
as an artist i'll painting on canvas, china
and marble at the Addison county fair.
The potato crop of this year does not
promise large results. The present
price is fifty cents per bushel, and dealers
look for an advance.
The Central Vermont system reports
the heaviest passenger traffic in the past
| fifteen years. The road was hardly able
to procure the necessary cars. The
ostensible cause is the tremendous hotel
business done this year along Lake
Champlain and in the Adirondacks,
though this has been year of travel in
all directions. The travel to the Thou
sand Islands over their Ogdensburg
leased line has also been very heavy.
The State Convention of the Woman's
| Christian Union of Vermont will be held
at Middlebury, September 1926.
Charles A. Cleghorn, chosen repre-
sentative from Wallingford, is the first
| Democrat sent from that town in thirty
years.
| The story that comes from Montreal
about the arrest of Prince George of
Wales for participating in street broil
lacks some elements of probability. The
allegation that George and his companion
were doing nothing at alr' when at
tackled, perhaps owes its foundation to
the fact of his royal birth, and the obse-
| quiousness of the chronicler. The claim
that two policemen appeared on the
scene promptly is enough to throw dis
credit on the whole yarn. If truthful
narrative of the fracas could be had it
would possibly show that the future king
of England and defender of faith had
been misbehaving himself Seriously
| TrOy Press. Later news pronounce the
whole canard
The Australian system of voting
seems to have been a pronounced success
| in Wyoming 1t worked smoothly, and
in connection with good registration
| law tended to prevent fraud of any kind.
| If the Alabama farmers who have
| formed a cotton corner can indicate
where their tactics differ in principle
| from those of the much berated trusts"
they should hasten to enlighten curious
people.
The Kentucky Constitutional Con-
vention made good beginning in its
work by an amendment expunging the
| slavery clauses of the Constitution. The
| first resoltion offered was one to get rid
of that absurd anachronism.
Black ducks are making their ap-
pearance unusually early on Lake Cham
plain this year, which is said to pOrtend
early cold weather.
Public indignation has been aroused
to boiling point by the various attempts
to wreck trains on the New York Central
since the strike was accounted failure.
| Whoever is responsible for these das-
tardly and murderous attempts, 1t is clear
that their intent is to paralyze the pas
senger traffice of the road-and in this it
would appear that they are partly sue
cessful. But they will not weaken the
| attitude of the Central's management to-
ward the strikers one particle.
Hon. Ellis II. Roberts, formerly a
member of Congress from New York
State, and at present Assistant United
States Sub-Treasurer at New York, has
been obliged to go into insolvency. Mr..
Roberts has been the very able editor of
the Utica Herald for many years, and his
| financial troubles are in connection with
that paper. Mr.. Roberts has represented
the best element of the Republican party
and he has the sympathy of all who know
him.
A Slur on the "4OO'-''Do you publish
