Prohibition County Convention.


A few Prohibitionists had a con-
sultation Monday and decided to
hold a convention Tuesday for the
purpose of nominating a county
ticket. Accordingly on Tuesday a
dozen, or so, assembled at Morrisville
and placed in the field the following
ticket =
Senator. G. H. Gilmore, of Cam
bridge; Judge of Probate, w. H. H.
Kenfeld of Hyde Park; Assistant
Judges, F. W. Rice of Cambridge, H.
H. Collins of Johnson; States Attor-
ney, c. S. Parker of Gilmore; Sheriff,
Luke Potter of Waterville; High
Bailiff, j. T. Jewett of Morrisville;
County Commissioner, Orrin Smith
of Stowe. Following are the resolu-
tions:-
REsoLvED-That we believe in taking up
the new and living issues of the day. Besides
the great issues of Prohibition, we advocate
laws for the amelioration of labor, the Au-
stralian system of ballot, a larger homestead
exemption act, the repeal of double taxation
laws and we declare against the formation oil
trusts for raising the price of goods used for
common consumption, and we think no party
| deserves more the support OF the people TO-
| day than the one who invites you to cast
! your votes for our candidate at the coming
| election.
For some unknown reason the pro-
ceedings were kept quiet and 1T re-
quired a good deal of searching on
our part to find anyone who knew
who the nominees were. 1t will be
seen that this convention ignores the
| cotton, IF +bo +apo naronca convention
held recently which nominated H. S
Atkins for Commissioner. Why this
discord on that official we fail tc
learn. The Republican convention
endorsed Mr.. Atkins because they
believed he was the choice of thu
temperance people. The other nom
inees are all so well-known to tn
people of this county that we thinl

A SUMNER BoARDER's PLEA.-A
writer in the News AND CITIZEN, who
signs himself "Summer Boarder,"
makes a very valuable contribution
to the country-road discussion. and
one that we feel quite sure will meet
with the approval of Vermont road
builders and repairers, because in
stead of increasing the expense OF
caring tor the country roads it act
ually reduces the expense.
The side of the question discussed
by this summer boarder is the 9s-
thetic side He protests against the
"habit of moving bare the sides OF
this beautiful region, thereby destroy
ING in great part the charm of riding
or driving over its many and natur-
| ally attractive roads" Summer
Boarder thinks this habit, which
seems to be spreading, probably
arises from an uninstructed taste fol
neatness and trimness-a taste il
itself highly commendable, but, like
all tastes, requiring cultivation. He
says that "by cutting down the
strawberries, clumps of flowers, anC
intricate tangles of clematis anc
other graceful vines, the effect o
neatness and trimness is not pro
duced. Instead of that is only intro
duced, in place of one Of the mos
beautiful forms of abundant life, /
picture of death and desolation.
Summer Boarder insists that no ad
vantage to the adjacent farms cal
result from this practice; on tn
contrary, the thickets of Canad
thistIes, which really ought to be Gu
: down and destroyed, are almost Gel
tain to be left standing.
The Free Press has for long tim
! tried to impress upon the farmer
of Vermont the fact that it pays t
# build good roads and to keep thel
$ in repair, that it pays to preserve til
= natural SCENERY, and that it pays
# cater to the tastes, even of our 9
r thetic city friends, by preserving i
tact those features of the countI
:. that attract them to our hills in sun

A large number assembled on the
MOrrisville Playground last Thurs
day to witness the ball game. 1t was
without doubt the best game ever
played in the county, taking less than
two hours to play teninnings, with a
score of 8 to Z. The home team out
tielded the visitors, but Moore, their
professional pitcher, had too many
curves for our boys; his pitching was
one of the features of the game Hill
liker supported him very we'll Shore
hit the ball on the seam every time
For the No Names, Cheney pitched
through the whole ten innings, and
put up a good game; he also took a
bee-liner hot from the bat. SlaytOn
caught we'll and also showed his abil-
ity at the bat. Hull Page played
finely on second base, taking in sew
eral fly balls. Tillotson, also, held
first in good shape. Wright caught
a fly with his left hand, and Sinclair
made a good catch in the first inning.
The umpiring was excellent. Follow
ing is a summary of the game:
