crossed bats at the latter place Saturday
with very interesting game, seven IN,
nings being played with score OF and
2 in favor of the Pownal team. The
feature of the game was the battery

The vocation rehearsal Friday evening,
June oath. at the Methodist church was
grand success, and the programme was
very tastefully arranged by Rev. I. Mum
70. Prof. Fred. Cluett of Troy, presided
at the organ, and opened the entertain
ment with a very fine selection. Those
who were so unfortunate as not to hear

a grand festival of music which was heard
from the new vocation. Next, Corey or
chestra, with cornet and violin, and
Prof. Lawrence at the vocation, favored
us with some very fine selections. Next
on the programme was the vocal music
by the Blackinton glee club. They gave
us some very fine songs, which were en-
loved by all lovers of good music. A
recitation by Miss Audria Bowen was an
interesting part of the programme. For
an encore she gave us the Two Chick
ems" but the most unfortunate thing OF
it all was the great calamity that befel
the "two chicks" A selection was then
rendered by Corey orchestra. A vocal
piece was then given by the Blackinton
glee club, followed by solo from Miss
Audria Bowen entitled Lullaby"
which was a pleasant feature Of the
evening. A selection was then given by
Prof. Cluett, followed by the singing OF
the long meter doxology by the congre-
CATION, after which the benediction was
pronounced by the pastor; then to the
endowment of all bountiful repast was
served by the ladies. The receipts were
$50.

CAMPAIGN ECHOES.
An Impulse to Business Prosperity

An Impulse to Business Prosperity.
The favor thus shown to Mr.. Fuller
on the part of the people is due to his
high personal character as an honest
man and a Christian gentleman; to his
well-known liberality; to his sound and
earnest Republicanism; to his uniform
courtesy and kindliness of spirit, and to
his genuine interest in the welfare of the
State and especially in the promotion of
its agricultural and industrial prosperity.
With him as Governor, it is felt that no
effort will be wanting to secure repre-
sentation of the products and manu-
factuIes of Vermont in the coming
Columbian exposition, such as Vermont
ers will be proud of and such as must
give a strong impulse to the business
and material prosperity of the State.
The exceedingly unjust attacks made
upon him in certain quarters, have also
added much to his popularity. Yer
monters do not take kindly to gross
personal detraction of citizens of known
worth and high standing; and instead of
lessening the vote that will be thrown
for him, these attacks will increase his
majority in the election, as they have
increased his strength in the convention.

this town on Wednesday evening. Two
houses on Water street adjoining lots,
were struck with lightning.-Ira NJ. Can
fields and Charles Benedict's, damaging
both considerably. No one was seriously
injured. Mr.. and Mrs. Garfield, were
stunned by the shock, to quite an un-
comfortable degree. Mr.. Benedict's
house was the most injured, the lighting
struck the roof of the piazza and tore off
clapboards and passed along the tin
caves trough throwing down a water
pipe, entered the sitting room, tore off
plastering and paper, cracked several
panes of glass, and passed out by break
ing a pane of glass near a telegraph
machine. Robert Benedict stood look
ing out of his chamber window when
the bolt fell, the electric fluid passed un-
pleasantly near and gave him severe
shock. happily, no serious result fol-
lowed. The shower was the most severe
of any in this section, in long time.

TRYING To DODGE THE CURRENCY
ISSUE.


1t is a characteristic of the Democratic
party that it never conducts campaign
honestly when it can do it dishonesty.
Circumstances compelled the Democracy
to drop the cham of ''Tariff Reform" at
Chicago and come out openly for Free
Trade. But while the radical Free
Traders succeeded in forcing the conven-
ton to throw away its carefully prepar-
ed and almost unintelligible Tariff Re-
form" plank and to substitute therefor
a Free Trade plank virtually copied from
the constitution of the Southern Confed-
eracy, the equally fanatical free coinage
element was temporarily pushed under
cover by the shrewd party managers. A
financial plank was adopted which can
be constructed for free silver in one sec
ton and against free silver in another
section. The 'cheap" money Democrats
of the West and South will be confident
ly assured by Democratic orators that
the platform provides for carrying out
their pet craze to the fullest extent;
while in the conservative Northeastern
States the Cleveland advocates will de-
clare with tremendous emphasis that the
Democracy is heart and soul for sound
money.
This is an interesting game, but it will
not work. There is at hand an infallible
test by which to try the real purposes
and policies of the Democratic party in
respect to the currency. This is the re-
cord of the party within the last few
months. No amount of canting argu-
ment by Mugwump and Democratic
organs and orators will make the people
forget that in thirty-fve State conven-
tions during the past yearthe Democrat
ic party has declared for free silver
coinage and the degraded dollar; nor
can the fatal record of March oath 1892,
be wiped out from public recollection.
On that date 130 Democratic members of
the Honse of Representatives deliber-
ately voted for the Bland Free Silver
bill, one of the most pernicious and reck-
less measures that ever came before the
National Legislature. Only eleven Re
publican voted for the bill, while sixty
seven Republican Representatives, or
six-sevenths of the Republicans present,
voted against this proposal to debase the
wages of the American workingman.
The majority of the Republican votes
against the Bland bill was SO. The
majority of the Democratic votes for the
bill was 40.
This record stands. Democratic vocif-
Grafton and vituperation cannot obscure
it. The Democratic scheme of fighting
under false pretences in the Eastern
States is doomed to failure from the
start.-N. Y. Press.

without any regard to its effect upon the
wages of American industries. What
was rejected, and what was adopted
upon this subject at Chicago, seems to
me to constitute declaration more ex-
treme and more destructive than has
ever before been promulgated by the
Democratic party. The Republican par
ty may, in the light of this declaration,
appeal with added confidence to the
American workingmen and American
producers to sustain policy always
highly regardful of the interests of
The great business interests of our coun-
try will not fail to appreciate the dis
turbing aud disastrous effects of so rad
ical policy upon the general pros
perity."

1t is related that President Harrison,
then only Colonel, could not promptly
secure surgeons to care for his wounded
after the battle of New Hope Church.
He therefore took off his coat, rolled up
his sleeves, and did what he could him
self to stanch the flow of blood and to
dress wounds. He directed that tents
be torn up into bandages, and he spent
hours working over his disabled soldier s
before the surgeons arrived.

The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1892-05-04

One evening in October, when BERTHE
was visiting his grandmother, his cous-
ms May and Ned were popping corn.
BERTHE was very little boy, not quite
five years old. and he had never seen
any corn popped before. He screamed
with delight when they shook the pop
per over the hot Goals. and he saw the
kernels of corn jump and burst into
white fakes at every pop. When it was
ready to eat. he carried it in a large
plate to his mother, who smiled to see
her little boys pleasure.
The next day BERTHE was to go chest
nutting with his cousins. He had never
been in the country before, and all these
pleasures We're new to him. 10 was
therefore very Disappointing when he
awoke the next morning to find it was
raining hard. He stood at the window,
after breakfast, looking out, with a very
Iuournful look on his little face. Sud-
denly, as is sometimes the case. the rain
turned to snow, and fell in large white
flakes. 10 mother" cried BERTHE, all
disappointment and sorrow gone from
his face, and clapping his hands, look!
look! see! the rain has popped!"-Anna

A TOBACCO SLAVE.
A Woman's Incredible Devotion to the
Smoking HabiS.

A correspondent writes us concern
ing case of tobacco addiction which
is almost beyond belief. The vic
tim of the weed is woman suffering
from tobacco cancer, which began at
one side of the mouth and has eaten a
hole through the face, and destroyed
the lower lip to such an extent that it
has separated from its supporting at
tachment, and lies shapelcss mass
upon the chin. The disease has ex-
tended so far into the throat that the
larynX is exposed, and the jugular vein
can be plainly seen. The disease was,
at the time the correspondent wrote us,
rapidly extending across the base of the
tongue. Nevertheless, the miserable
creature will not suspend the use of the
poisonous weed which has been the
cause of this terrible state. Being no
longer able to use a pipe herself, she
has ingeniously devised method by
which she can still smoke by proxy. A
smoker, whom she engages for the pur-
pose, seats himself before her with the
pipe in his mouth, draws a long puff,
and blows it into the CHASTITY opening
in her face, thus enabling her to still
enjoy, after fashion, the horrible drug
which has reduced her to a state Of liv
ing death.-Good Health.
