Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1893-03-15

Vermont's record as here presented
is compiled entirely from reports from
the town clerks of the several towns. OF
the total number, 234 towns are here re-
ported. OF the towns failing to report,
all except one were small towns from
which there was likely to be little or
nothing to report. And though COM
plete report would, doubtless, have in
creased some of the figures found, they
may be considered, think, fairly COM
plete and accurate.
Thanks are due the town clerks who
have so cheerfully assisted, and | wish
to say that nearly all the reports receiv-
ed gave good evidence Of care in their
preparation.
The total number of farms sold in
1892 is 1,914. OF this number, 1872
were previously unoccupied. As COM
pared with 1891, there has been an in
crease Of $50 farm sales. The following
table shows the number Of sales in
each county, and for the purpose OF
comparison, the sales in 1891 are also

VERMONT In 1892.
A Year of Great Prosperity
What the Official Record Shows

Through the kindness Of Hon. V. l..
Spear, Statistical Secretary of the
Board of Agriculture, we are able to
give our readers the following pleasant
facts from the forthcoming report:

How It became Popular.

When people find an article much
superior TO anything of the kind they
have ever before used, they are al
most sure to tell their friends about
it, especially If they know of some
friends needing such an article.
Dealers also soon learn the true value
of their goods, and when they have
on article of unusual merit they will
almost invariably mention the fact to
their customers. This accounts in a
great measure for the large sale on
Cham berlain's Cough Remedy.
Here is an instance: w. l.. Need
ham, prominent citizen and busi-
ness man of Orrsburg, Mo-, has been
selling Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy for several years and recon-
mends it to his customers, because in
his experience it has proven to be the
best for colds. Group and whooping
cough. He says it is the most pop
ular medicine that he handles, and
gives the best satisfaction. Fifty
cent bottles for sale by Eagle drug
store.

Pneumonia.

At no time in the history of the
country has pneumonia been SO prev
alent as during the winter months of
the last two years. In times past a
common cold was not considered at
all serious, but of late years the great
tendency of colds to result in pneu-
monia has made people apprehensive.
The trouble is that colds are not al
ways properly treated. No prepara-
tion containing opium, wild cterry or
chloroform should be used, as they
have tendency to dry up a cold,
whereas it should be loosened and
the lungs relieved. 1t has been OBJ
served that when Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy is used the cold never
results in pneumonia. The reason is
that this remedy stimulates the
mucous membrane which lines the
throat and lungs to healthy expec-
toration, throwing off the poisonous
matter and counteracts any tendency
toward pneumonia. For sale by
Eagle drug store.

RATES TO COME DOWN.
Meeting of the Western Passenger
Association Called For Friday.

Meeting of the Western Passenger
Association Called For Friday.
CHICAGO, July 1S. Tho Western
roads are at last readyto come down on
worlds fair rates, and they are to get
almost to the bottom. The Chicago,
Milwaukee and St Paul, Northwestern,
Atchison and Rock Island roads have
requested Chairman Caldwell of the
Western Passenger association to call
meeting for 1890 o'clock Friday morn
ing of this week for the purpose of con-
sidering the worlds fair rates. The
request for the call says that it is desire
able that tickets be sold every day good
for passage on regular trains and good
for the return passage from Chicago up
to and including a final return limit
of about thirty days. The one-way
rates between important terminals are
to be based proportionally upon what
ever reductions may be made or agreed
upon for the round-trip rates.
The association may not decide to
yield all the points asked by the lines,
but it is practically a foregone conclu-
sion that it will grant the most impor-
tant one-that of one fare for the round
trip, and the chances are very strong
that they will adopt most of the others.
The truth of the matter is that the pas
senger business for July is showing a
marked decrease from that Of June, and
the roads are beginning to feel uneasy.
People are not focking to the fair quite
rs much as the roads anticipated, and
they now realize that something must
be done, and done at once. Chairman
Caldwell issued the call for the meet
ing Friday, as requested, and next
week will probably see the new rates in

In Favor oc Sunday Ciasin@-The Di-

Persistent Opposition of Religious
People Has Had Powerful In
Auence.
CHICAGO, July 15.-What could not
be accall plisheI directly in the matter
of closing the worlds fair gates on
Sunday has been none indirectly, and
hersa. ,v., IL gates viii be closed on the
first day Cf the week. This was de-
cided Uyon st regular meeting of the
local directory, ana the rule viii be-
come operative Sunday, July IS. The
directors were reluctant TO admit that
Sunday opening had proved a failure,
but the dw:0GGig attendance and the
opposition Of many exhibitors who
were unwilling to meet the extra ez-
pense entailed by 7-day fair has forced
the conclusion upon the local managers
of the exposition that nothing was to
be gained by Sunday fair, The work
ing people, who are unable to attend on
week days, have not taken kindly to
Sunday fair with motionless machinery
and covered exhibits. While Midway
Plaisance has been well patronized on
Sundays the other features of the expo,
sition have offered but slight attrac-
ton to visitors The
Persistent Opposition
of the religious element throughout the
country has without doubt had a pow
erful influence IN bringing about the
action Of the directors. Hundreds of
petitions have been received from relig.
ious bodies and prominent preachers |
praying that the fair be closed Sundays |
and promising all the aid in their power
to make the fair financial success if |
such action were taken.@ . The directors |
saw that the conclusion was forced |
upon them that much was to be gained |
and little to be lost by Sunday closing. |
The action of the directors will deal |
severe blow to the interests of conces-
eionaires, many Of whom count upon |
Sunday as their most profitable day,
but the majority Of exhibitors are sat
isded with the change.
NOT CERTAIN OF CLOSING.
There IS an Injunction in the Way |
Which Must BE Disposed OF.
CHICAGO, July 18.-The action of the
directors in deciding to close the fair on
Sundays it appears, says The Tribune,
does not finally settle the question. A
temporary injunction obtained several |
weeks ago by Charles W. Clingman,
one of the stockholders in the exposi-
ton company and taxpayer of Chica-
go, compelling the gates to be kept |
open, still stands in the way. Judge
Stein of the superior court of Cook
county who granted the decree say:
'The injunction is still in force; there
is no doubt about that. If the courts
attention is officially called to any viola
ton of the order it will, after due con-
take such action as may ap-
pear proper"
Further than this the Judge declined
to discnss the matter. He sasd that it
would not be becoming in him to antici-
pate what might be done.
