THE potato crop in many sections is

tatoes for fifty cents are foolish. Good
prices will probably be secured in spite

Scotia and Scotland's potatoes arrive the
tubers will be cheap enough, thanks to
the Democratic Senate.

Gently with complaint that deer had

DURING the thunder storm of Wednes-
day night, lightning struck near one of
VIM. B. Arnold's barns in Pownal and
ran along the str ands of wire fence I'M
til it reached post standing by the barn,

The wire had been attached to the barn
rs many men do, no doubt the electricity
would have fred the barn. The family

away, from where the bolt struck the
fence.

sidewalks of Bennington. Mr.. Bingham
will do more for such an enterprise than
my Democrat possibly can perform, and
hen he stands for the restoration of |
rood times. Equally as futile is the eff
ort to put the sewer debt on the grand |
ist for an issue. The village has already |
-oted in annual meeting to ask for it,
md it is settled matter. Do not be de- |
eived. A Republican vote this year is |
protest against British free trade, es- |
Doused by the National Democracy and |
by the local and county Demo- |
