STAGE NOTICE.
A New Winter Schedule on the Jackson
Vile and Wilmington Lines.

A New Winter Schedule on the Jackson
Vile and Wilmington Lines.
During the remainder of the winter and until
the roads become reasonably settled in the spring,
a new time schedule win be in operation for the
Jacksonville and Wilmington stages Heretofore
those stages have left Brattleboro at I O'Clock
every afternoon except Friday, when their leaving
time has been o'clock in order that they might
carry the Brattleboro papers on the day of publ
cation 1t Is well known, however, that during the
winter season the roads over portions of their
routes are often almost impossible, and that it is
a positive hardship for the drivers to be compelled
to make their trips after dark, with the hour Of
arrival at their destination very uncertain, Many
residents on those lines have realized this and have
expressed themselves TO this effect. 1t has hap
pened very often under the old arrangement that
the hour of arrival was late during the winter
that subscribers could not get their papers on the
day of publication. 1t has therefore been thought
advisable to arrange a new schedule under which
the stages will leave every day at 1880 p NJ, giving
residents along the lines their mail nearly an
hour earlier than usual. Under this arrangement
the Brattleboro papers will not be taken 10y the
stages on Friday but their regular arrival at an
early hour on Saturday will be assured, the driv-
ers cheerfully agreeing To make special effort
for quick trips on that day so as to give all sub
scribers their papers for Sunday reading. In the
spring the old schedule will be restored and the
papers viii he taken ont ON Friday afternoon as
heretofore.

The STRIKE of the Buffalo switch

1t should go one step farther and make

If two private individuals cannot agree
upon the settlement of a matter of
business they must appeal first to the

TIE ANNUAL encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic will be
held this week in the city of Washing
ton. 1t promises to be one of the larg-
est and most interesting gatherings of
the veterans held since the close of
the war.
The city of Washington is an appro-
PIRATE spot for the meeting. No other
place was the object of such intense
and protraeted interest during the
whole period of the civil war. 1t was
continually threatened and often in
imminent peril. A large proportion of
all the strategic movements of the
Eastern armies had reference to the
capture or defense of the national
capital.
The march Of the veterans through
its streets this week will recall that
splendid two days march and review OF
the Eastern and Western armies after
the close of the war, more than twenty
seven years ago.
But it will be very different from
that grand spectacle, The marching
step will not be so steady and strong
the trappings will be less suggestive o.
the aetualities of war; there will beSn,
comparable trains of artillery OF flash
ing ranks Of bayonets.
Year by year the ranks of the gather
ing veterans grow thinner The grea
captains are all at rest, and a majority

The EDITOR of this paper within the
past two weeks has talked with men of
all political shades from every district
in the lower end of Carbon county and
in no particular instance could we
learn anything that gives Mr.. B. j.
Kuntz, the Republican candidate for
the Legislature, a single assurance of
being elected. On the contrary, how
ever, everything pointed to the election
Of Mr.. w. f. Biery, the Democratic
candidate for the same office. This is
no bumcombe, Democrats all over the
county whom the friends of the Re-
publican candidate claim have been
fixed for "Our Ben" are open and
earnest in can yassing their respective
districts for Mr.. Biery and this gives
the lie to the claims that many of the
leading Democrats are crooked. Biery
Will be elected simply because he is the
poor mans friend and is not the
faVorite of coal barons and corpora
tion kings, He is making canvass of
the county in a clean, gentlemanly
way, making friends by his courteous
demeanor and manly, open manner OF
conversation. Kuntz may be strong
man, as was Sullivan, Corbett knocked
the latter out and Biery win attend &c
"Ben" in the same effective manner.

The TRIUMPHANT election of Mr.
Biery to the Legislature will be an
achievement to be proud of by every
Democrat of Carbon county, and to
this end we are confident that every
one will cheerfully do his whole duty
He should have, as we incline to the be,
lief that he will have, anywhere from
500 to 800 majority. This is the first
time, we believe, that he appears be-
fore the people of the county as a
candidate for public office. lie is
