During the past year Morrisville
I'sold $500 worth of liquor for medic
inal purposes only, of course, at
profit of $140O. Taking Morrisville
as basis it would indicate that it
costs Vermont every year a million
dollars and over for "medicinal pur-
poses" liquid For a Prohibition
State this has mighty queer look
and suggests deplorable amount of
sickness" for State supposed to be
as healthy as Vermont. This big sum
keeps several good sized distilleries in
operation, hut if they help ward off
sickness and keep the Green Noun

if the Governor of South Carolina
and the Governor of North Carolina
should happen to meet in Morrisville,
or most anywhere in this State, and
should be taken suddenly and vio-

The semi-monthly meetings of La
noble Grange are becoming very in |
teresting and as source of instruc-
ton for our younger farmers should |
not be overlooked. At every session |
new thoughts, ideas and methods are
brought forward and discussed in |
a way that cannot fail to be of bene-
fit. At the meeting held last Thurs
day the " Hindrances to the Average |
Farmer" received thorough venti-
lation, and remedies for many were |
pointed out. The lack of help to till |
our farms properly is one great him
drance, which C. F. Smith said ought |
to be remedied by every Patron rails
ing not less than six young Patrons
to assist in his labors and carry them
on when he is gone. Mr.. Smith and |
l.. S. Small led in the discussion, fol- |
lowed by many others in ive-minute
speeches. G. II. Terrill gave an inter-
esting account of methods in use at |
dairy school in Burlington, which he
has been attending. W. S. Daniels |
read an interesting essay. The next |
meeting will be on Thursday after
noon, March 9Th, the topic being |
What branch of farming has paid |
best in the past year, and wbatprom-
ises best for the coming year," J.
FL. Atkinson, Milo Small, W. S. Dan

interest will also receive attention.
The New London, Conn.,, Morning
Telegram of Tuesday, Feb. 81, has
the following in regard to L. A. White
& Co.'S new baker =
Wallace R. johnson, for 20 years an en-
ploye at the C. D. Boss & Son cracker factory, |
entering it when boy and gradually rising |
to position of Importance there, severed |
connection with the factory yesterday and
will leave New London this morning to take

The many friends of Mr.. Johnson will learn
with regret that he is,leaving town, especially |
those with which he had society affiliations.
In the two leading fraternal organizations,
the Masons and Odd Fellows he passed thro'
all the chairs of the subordinate lodges being |
Past Master of Union Lodge and a Past |
Grand of Pequot lodge, and up to the time of
his departure was the permanent secretary of |
the latter society.
Mr.. Johnson's new position is for term of |
three years with the privilege of extending it |
to FIVE That he will give the utmost salts
faction in it no one who knows him will doubt. |
Mr.. EDIToR:-
| see by your last paper that the matter of |
the new cemetery is to come up for discussion |
at our next town meeting, which is very |
proper thing to do and that the matter may /
be fully understood the voters should know |
the reason OF the non action of the commits |
sioners elected last year. Now the town a |
town bought and ownes the 81 acres of land |
and has partly fenced and worked some of
the roads, and it was supposed by many that
tie village corporation would furnish the
means to lay out and put the cemetery in
shape so lots could be sold and money got in
that way to carry on the work of improve
ment and identifying the same. But on look
ing up the law it was found that the village /
as a corporation could not appropriate mon
ey under their charter for such purposes, con-
sequently no money was coming from that |
source. OF course anyone knowing these facts
will at once see the unpleasant position of the
commissioners; their only course was to eth
er furnish the money themselves to put the
cemetery in in shape, or let it lay as it was un-
til such time there should be some funds
put into our hands in some shape to do with.
Now this cemetery will BY the sale of lots pay
its own bills and running expenses, when in
shape to do SO but if it is ever kept in shape
there must be some money expended by some
one in laying it out and stalking it out in O |
regular way. Or course lots can be sold there
now, but when we do this and allow one man
to go and stake out a lot here, and another
there, would ask what shape will the ceme-
terry be in few years later? If this course is |
the to nlIrsne the nrnner thing 10 q is
