NEWS AND NOTES,

1t is late in the season but the fishing
is still pretty good in Buzzards bay.
1t looks as if the lambs in the stock
market would have to pay the expenses
of tho late sugar campaign in Washing
ton.
There are persistent rumors in New
York that Gov. Flower intends to pardon
Boss McKane. But it is safe to say that
no such act OF astounding folly will be
perpetrated before the coming election.
The Prince of Wales may be reluctant
to bring his Britannia back to racing,
but apparently he must do it or see the
Vigilant recapture the only American
international challenge cup now held in
the British Isles.
It should cause not the slightest sur
prise that every one of Secretary Car
isles decisions has favored the foreign
manufacturer at the expense of the
American manufacturer. That is what
he is there for.
The canceling of Cuban order for 10,-
900 barrels of flour in anticipation of re-
taliatory duties rather wildly suggests
tho huge price which American pro-
ducers must pay for the Bourbon over
throw of reciprocity.
Mr.. Cleveland's letter to Congressman
Catchings was literary mosaic. The
reference to the deadly blight of treason,
etc., was lifted bodily from Tom Moore
and the passage about the stealing of the
livery of tariff reform was adapted from
Pollock's Course of Time.
A Buffalo schoolgirl, when asked to
define the difference between domestic
and foreign commesce, replied: "Domes-
tic commerce is fishing and foreign COM
merce is fishing with pole" And yet
that girl knew as much about commerce
as some politicians do about the tariff.
New England manufacturers and wage.
earners are not likely to forget Chairman
Wilson's proclamation that the "excess-
i've duties on cottons and woolens and
metals are going to be the target for
those further aggressive operations"
promised by our Democratic President.
The first blood has been drawn in the
Breckenridge campaign IN Kentucky by
the killing of an nti-Breckinridge man
by supporter of the notorious candi-
date. The trouble arose over remark
of the victim of the fight that no respec-
table woman would go to hear Breckin-
ridge speak. The candidate has gained
one vote by the killing of his enemy, but
will this not be more than counterbal-
anced by the desire for vengeance on the
part of the supporters Of his opponent?

PoWnaI.

Schools are to begin this week for the
fall and winter.
Tramps along the railroad recently
broke into the section house and took
out set of tools, with which they made
an attack on the postoffice, hut becom-
ing alarmed left their implements on the
crossing and disappeared.
The convention of the SALISBURY Bap-
fist Association which was held in the
Baptist church, Wednesday and Thurs
day of last week, was decided success.
About 100 delegates were present includ-
ing many noted speakers from different
parts Of Vermont. They were nicely en-
tertained by the ladies of the church.
The meetings were well attended and
heartily enjoyed by all. Special music
had been prepared for the occasion I'M
der the direction of Prof. Arnold of
Pittsfield, which was exceedingly fine
and highly appreciated by all.
The Rev. A. Roe, D. D., missionary of
Burmah, preached two strong and inter
esting sermons at the Baptist church,
during the SALISBURY Baptist conven-
ton on Wednesday and Thursday even
ings. Missionary Roe is man of mark
ed individuality and pureness of life that
not only all of his own people, but many
others feel it an honor to be allowed to
listen to his words. His life and work
in Burmah and foreign countries are
well known to all interested in the say
ing of souls, and as one of the Mission
airy Fathers he has attracted more than
ordinary attention.

all human babies, and the things that are
really their health and happiness are
very simple during the fist few years of
their lives.
In fact, when parents have made sure
that baby's food is sufficiently nourish-
ing and healthy, that there is plenty of
pure air and absolute cleanliness, they
can really do nothing else. In homes
where trained nurses are employed lac
tated food is always kept on hand. And
at the first sign of bowel trouble baby is
put on an exclusive diet of lactated food
till the intestinal disturbance is over
Physicians know of nothing else equal
to lactated food to take the place of
mothers milk. 1t is made for the ex-
press purpose Of forming as perfect a
substitute for healthy mothers milk, as
analysis will show. 1t is pleasant to the
taste, and has the unusual virtue of in
ducing delicate babies to take nourish-
ment when other food disagrees with
their weak stomachs. Lactated food
has saved thousands of babies from fall
ing victims to cholera infantum by
keeping up their strength, without in
creasing, as most food does at such
times, the irritation in the intestines
that is accountable for most of the ia
talities among children in August and
September.
This valuable baby food is everywhere
used in the homes where the most mod
ern and valuable appliances for securing
health and comfort are met with, and
yet this best of baby foods is easily
within the reach Of the most modest
homes.
One hundred and fifty meals can be
made from a 81 package, or sufficient to
last about four weeks, making the food
prepared for baby cost less than cents
a quart. In thousands of unpretentious
homes, in the large cities. especially,
this valuable food is found.
Little MOllie Ward, whose picture is
given above, is the charming daughter
of Mr.. NJ. P. Ward of Providence, r. l.,
who writes:
1T gives me pleasure to advise you
that our little Mollie is just four years
old to-day, and our youngest little girl,
strange to say, is five months to-day,
both being born on the the third of the
month. think both of my babies owe
their good health to lactated food. 1t is
the best food for infants who cannot en-
joy mothers milk, that there is on the
market
y"Our babies have both thrived on it,
and when teething had very little trouble.
81 have recommended lactated food
hundreds of times"

"But evil is wrought by want of thought,
As well as want of heart"

By want of thought mothers allow
daughters to become frail and puny.
Over-study in girls induces uterine dis
orders and weaknesses, and blights their
future happiness as wives and mothers.
Joined to proper hygenic care, DR..
Pierce's Favorite PRESCRIPTION is price
less remedy in such ailments, its value
becoming even more apparent every
year. Using it, the wan, debilitated
school girl gains color, flesh and spirits,
losing those deadly headaches, torment
ing backaches, languor detection, and
other symptoms of functional IRREGULAR
ties and nervous debility. 1t never
harms the most delicate girl.

CITATION: Gentlemen-I cannot suffi-
GENTLY express to you my gratitude for
the benefit your medicine has conferred
upon my daughter. OF late she has suf-
fered no pain whatever. 1t is simply
marvellous. You have just reason to
call it your "Favorite Prescription" and

upon it. A fdUOrite prescription it is, in
deed, to you and to thousands in this
world over. Yours gratefully,

THE POOR MANS SUGAR BILL.

The Democratic leaders will boast up
on the stump, says webb in the Bos-
ton Journal, that the Tariff bill which
they have made law will take off the
burdens of the people. One of the prac-
tical illustrations of the manner in which
the burden of the people will be taken
off by this bill may be witnessed in the
course of the coming week. The indi-
cations are that there will be an advance
in the price of sugar from Al cents to 81
cents by Monday. There has never been
so much sugar purchased and stored by
small retail dealers and country
dealers as at present, anticipation of
the increase Of prices resulting from the
passage of the Tariff bill; and the duty
which is to be imposed by this law will
represent the profit of the holders of the
sugar. The sugar brokers report that it
is almost impossible now to buy a barrel
of sugar from the refneries, so great has
been the demand from dealers for it to
hold for speculative purposes. Many
little grocers who have never been &C
customed to carry more than five barrels
at time have ordered lots of so and 100
barrels of sugar The dollar with which
the laboring man has been able to bring
home 20 pounds of sugar will, under
Democratic reform, purchase for him af-
ter Tuesday probably not more than IA
pounds.

We have still no rain to soak into the

laid the dust for little while. The

will probably be cut early this year, and
potatoes they grow small, ober dar,"
though it is TOO early to pronounce on
the whole crop.

customer, makes money and is benefit

nonsensical for an advertiser to fill his
space in any advertising medium full of
solid reading matter and let it stand
month after month without change.
The only way to reap quick and sure
benefits from advertising is to say, in
your space, in as few words as possible,
what your wares for sale are, have them
attractively displayed and change often.
By doing this you have something new

ter or surer way to increase your bust
ness than to keep your name before the
public in your local paper, which is read
by strangers, and townspeople here, as a
directory to establish place of making
their purchases.
The BANNER is recognized as the lead
ing medium of this section, owing to its
large circulation. A trial will convince
you that there is margin of profit in
advertising for you. No matter how
long you have done business in a town.
or how popular you are, the immigrant
does not know you or your business,
and the only way to lead him to your
place of business is through an adver-
tlsement In your local periodical.

Every one knows of splendid homes
that lack nothing but children.
The rooms, with all their elegance,
look vacant without the clutter of baby's
