WEST RANDOLPH.
THURSDAY, AUG. ~, 1891.

Every loyal Vermonter, whether at home
or abroad, can do his native state a service
by sending V. /. Spear, Braintree, W., a
list of names of all persons whom he may
know that are seeking a home, farm, or
an opportunity to enter manufacturing,
mining, etc, that a copy OF the Pam
phlet describing the resources of the state,
may be sent to such parties, with a view
to calling their attention to the many ao-
vantages Vermont can offer.
The authorities have followed up the Ii
ouor business in his place, closing up the
Smith den and Sulham hole across the riv-
er and the Flint ranch on this side, u
they need to go a step farther. There are
two or three parties who are having liquor
come very often and it is said to be OF the
vilest grade, costing only about Sl,5O per
gallon, and these parties are peddlng IL
around and making more boys and men
drunk than ever before. The authorities
know who these parties are and should
leave no stone u~nturned to secure EVIL
dence sufficient to convict them. Flint,
who is now serving his sentence IN hut-
land, is a saint beside one OF these pocket
peddlers. Let the law be enforced. The
saloons are shut down tight, now let these
pocket peddlers be suppressed.

him after he took the New Haven boat for
New York two weeks g last Thursday
night. All sorts of conjectures are ahoat-
1t is reported on good authority that he IS
owing a good many bills and the general
opinion is that he has slit out" His wife
is of the opinion that he has been killed.
A few weeks ago he had a narrow escape
in New York city. He went to a certain
place to see some horses and when he en-
tered the building where the horses were
supposed to be he was set upon by several
men but by a free use OF his strong rlgnt
arm he beat his assailants OF and escaped.
He told his story to several parties but III
may have been a blind that he gave out 10
cover up his intended disappearance when
he may have been contemplating. Aside
from a few debts there is apparently no
good reason why he should leave his home
where the relations OF the family, consist
ing of his wife, children and aged father,
have always been pleasant. His wife has
the sympathy OF all in his sad atfiiction.
"Among the Clouds,' the bright little
paper published on the summit of Mount
Washington, contained the following in
teresting item concerning two Randolph
boys:
Among the early arrivals yesterday
morning were Albert and Frank Chandler,
member of the "Mercury Wheelmen," a
young but promising club of Brooklyn,
n. Y. The gentlemen are on an extended
bicycle tour, having left that city in the
latter part Of July and ridden so far some
$50 miles. The route pursued by them led
through Long Island to its northern ex-
tremity and after viewing Shelter Island
and the adjacent points OF interest, steam
er was taken to New London, Conn. The
roads from here through Norwich n i'm
to Rhode Island were exceedingly sandy
but after Providence was reached they

and the run to Boston was made In nve
hours, thus making the actual riding
time from Brooklyn to Boston three and
one-half days. The Hub proved so at
t~ractive that the tourists remained there
five days, seeing everything OF interest
and making frequent excursions to the
suburbs. Leaving Boston, Lexington and
Concord, with their historical scenes, were
visited, and returning the young men
reached Salem which, together with Mar
blehead, claimed one day of their vaca-
ton. The ride from the switch City" to
NeWburyport was made without dismount
and at Portsmouth an afternoon was de-
voted to inspecting the Navy Yard and
the,harbor. The distance from York Beach
in Maine to Sebago is 20 miles, but this
was easily accomplished in one day, to-
gether with a five hours stay at Portland.
From Sebago to Waterford was made in
like time, and at the last named place they
have been staying with friends for two
weeks. Yesterday morning, however. they
left there and after a ride of some diff
Guilty, owing to the recent rains, they ar
rived at the Glen at about 4 p. m. Yester-
day morning they walked up to the noun
tain in a trife less than three hours and
remained here over night. Their further
schedule embraces all Of beauty or inter-
est in this region and when completed they
will possess a very fair idea Of New Eng
land, having upon two previous occasions
made tours Of nearly equal length. Both
ride "1Sg1 Columbia Cushion Tire Safe
ties" and are loud in their praises Of these
machines.
