Surely the Mckinley sugar bounty
act is working like a charm and bring
ing about the desired result. About
one in twenty of our farmers have
filed out application for license.
There is so much red tape, needless
nonsense about the affair that the
farmers rather than suffer it's incon-
veniences have decided to let it pass.
In fact the farmers are becoming ed
ucated to the fact that our legisla-
lures legislate for the benefit of the
corporations to the detriment of the
laboring classes and if the writer is
not greatly mistaken the result will
be evident at our next Vermont cleo
ton.

The most brilliant social event, in
which the people of this community
have ever participated, was the re-
ception of last Thursday evening,
given by Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Curtis
in honor of their son Willard C.
Curtis and bride Of Kansas City, Mo.
The beautiful residence of Mr.. Curtis
was artistically decorated to suit the
occasion, and presented truly strik-
ing appearance. Outside japanese
lanterns tastefully arranged, glim-
mered forth royal welcome, while
inside large crowd gathered to en-
joy the hospitality of the host and ex-
tend congratulations to the happy
young couple. The evening was
passed very pleasantly amid the usual
festivities. The bride was beautiful
ly attired and with her beautiful face
and charming air created lasting
impression and won for her many
friends.
Mr.. Curtis is one of the boys of
whom Londonderry is proud of. AS
