A COLD.

1t was only a common cold. John had
had many worse cold and got over it.
This would wear off as the others had
done; so it was neglected and neglected
until steady pain came in the chest, and
a slight, but not very distressing cough
became constant. But John didn't mind
the pain-he ignored it, and went on with
his work as though pain ment nothing.
After a time he began to grow thin and
weak, and an attact OF dysentery com
PEELED him to call in physician. The
physician discovered his condition, and
bv this time infitration was well advanc-
ed in the right lung. Now the fight for
Life became serious, and it all came from
a common cold that taken at first could
have been easily cured The physician,
being an experienced practitioner, reco-
mended Downs Elixir, and John used
it faithfully and pulled through; but how
much better it would have been had John
bought bottle of the Elixir at once, and
taken a dose on going to bed and walked
up the next morning clear as whistle.
In view of the fact that the season of
colds and Coughs is now at hand, we call
the attention of our readers to the adver-
tisment of Downs Elixir, which win be
| found in another column.

We publish IN another column a
lengthy account of the recent visit Of
old people of Manchester with Mr..
and Mrs. j. E. McNaughton, una
voidably delayed until this week. 1t
seems quite evident that the old peo-
pie of that pleasant and historic town
have no notion of being ''left," 9TH
erwise, in current vernacular, they
are sin it." This is as it should be.
This gathering and the one held a
year ago, that attracted so wide at
tention, marks an era with those in
the November time of life, and may
be far reaching in it's results, for it is
now suggested that the sixth day of
November be designated as old
folks day, and be devoted to visiting
and social intercourse among those in
the fall time of life. The suggestion
is worthy of our friend, McNaugh-
ton, and it is to be hoped that he will
not weary until it is an accomplished
fact. The SITTER extends its good
wishes for the success of the project
and will boost what it can.

Written For the sIFrER.l
RAILROADS-PAST AND PRESENT.


The first locomotive ever run upon
any railroad in America was the
"Stourbridge Lion," Horatio Allen,
Engineer. 1t was imported from
England and made its first trip on the
."Carbondale Railroad" at Homes
dale, Pa, August 8, 1929.
To Peter Cooper, however, belongs
the honor of having built the first To-
comotive in this country. The boiler
was about the size of a flour barrel.
In 1880 a Mr.. Baldwin, of Phila-
delphia, made miniature locomotive
for exhibition at the museum there,
and the success of the model was so
great that he received orders for en-
gines on large scale, and giving up
his business as a machinest he es-
tablished what is known as the
baldwin Locomotive Works"
The same year that Peter Cooper
built his trial engine, in 1880, the
''South Carolina Railway Company"
had locomotive called the "Best
Friend" built at the West Point
Foundry, for its line. This was the
first locomotive built in the United
States for actual service on rail
road. The negro fireman, being very
much annoyed by the blowing off of
the steam, fastened down the Safety
valve lever and set on it. The result
was an unexpected explosion that
killed him and badly scalded the en-
gineer. The second locomotive built
to replace the exploded one was nam
ed the "West Point" and to protect
the passengers from being injured by
another explosion, fiat car was
loaded with bales of cotton and plac-
ed between the engine and coaches
of the train. The safety-valve was
also placed out of reach of anyone
but the engineer.
This railroad, which run from
Charlestown to Hamburg, when COM
pleted for use, October 2, 1888, was
the longest railroad in the world. 1t
was the first road that carried the
United States mail.
There are, however, conflicting
statements by different authorities re-
lative to the first steam passenger
train run in America. One authority
says that the first passenger train was
run on the "South Carolina Rail
way," January 10, 1881 and another
that the ''Mohawk and Hudson Co."
run the first train in this country,
August 8, 1881. 1t is therefore a
question which is right. The engine
first used by the "Mohawk and Hud-
son r. r." was named the ''John
Bull" 1t was made in England,
and the engineer, John Hampson,
was an Englishman. The weight of
the locomotive was four tons. The
train as originally run on its first trip
between Albany and Schenectady,
n. Y, consisted of an engine, ten
der and two coaches after the style
of the far-famed Concord coaches
made at Concord, N. Ell. There
were 15 passengers aboard, among
which were several men of distinc-
ton, notably ex-Gov. Joseph c..
Yates, Thurlow Weed, Charles E.
Dudley, of the Dudley Observatory ;
James Alexander, president of the
Commercial Bank; Josiah Snow,
Editor of the Southbridge Register ;
Jacob Hayes, High Constable of
New York state; Major Meigs,
Sheriff Lewis Benedict and Billy
Whine, Penny Postman. Billy Mar
shall was the conductor.

How to Choose your Newspapers

The Rutland Weekly Herald,
which is just now claiming the special
attention of readers in all parts of the
state as appears by the advertisement
in another column says:
"The Herald believes that every
man in the state should take his local
paper. In great proportion OF
cases he may wisely take more than
one printed in his immediate neigh
borhood. But with these are needed
other papers for general or special
news apart from purely local matters,
and the Herald is entering some new
fields to supply this want. In regard
to general news it invites comparison
with any city weekly, and it also asks
consideration for its more general
Vermont news. Readers will find
that sit is the best in these respects,
as in many others" :"
