probably meet with little opposition in his
candidacy for the position of chaplain of the
senate of 1894.
ATTENTION is called to the official repub-
ican ballot, as published on page four.
All who wish to vote the straight republi-
can ticket will have little trouble in COM
pretending the instructions made necessary
by the change in the ballot law by the legs-
lature of 1892. A cross in the large square
at the head of the ticket, and no more, will
insure your vote being counted. Voters OF

BROOKS PosT, at it's meeting, August 10,
adopted the following resolutions, presented
by Comrade Edward Baker, concerning
ing Comrade j. A. Kelton. =" Resolved,
That as the comrades of this post one after
| another are struck down by the irresistible
hand of death, we who survive are admon-
ished to be also ready and to do with our
might what our hands find to do that by
the death Of our late comrade, j. A. Kelton,
this post has lost true and worthy men,
Der, and this order good comrade; that as
token of respect to the memory Of our late
comrade, the charter OF our post be draped
in mourning for the space of thirty days;
| that a copy of these resolutions be for
warded to the bereaved family, also to each
OF the local papers"
APPEARANCES would indicate that there
is no printing Office in Vermont that can do
work good enough for the officers of the
State Fair Association, and the bills an
nouncing the fair that have been posted
around town bear the imprint of an Office
in Norwalk, o. 1t surely is not an artistic
lob lof which any Office might be partic-
ularly proud. In fact it is cheap work, and
contains one glaring and inexcusable error.
The management of the State Fair Asso-
citation WILL however, probably interpose
no objection to any free advertising that
Vermont newspapers, with job printing es-
tablishments attached, may choose TO give
the coming fair. If the managers desire to
convey the impression to outsiders that no
office in the state Is equipped to do artistic
job printing, they have probably sue
ceeded.
