Attention is called to the advertise
ment of the Crystal Confectionery
Company of Burlington. The con-
fectionery manufactured by this com
pany is of the best quality and guar
anteed pure. Their goods are on sale
in every village in Lamoille county,
and if you want the best call for the
C. C. c. There are no better.
A large number of the special Nor
risville issue of the Brattleboro Re
former were received here Monday,
and will be found an interesting pub
lication with numerous Illustrations.
The write-up of individual business
firms is from the pen of f. r. Aldrich
of Brattleboro, the general intrOduc-
tory article by W. H. Robinson.
While bicyclists are compelled to
observe the sidewalk law, they object
to being crowded out of the highway.
This is more especially illustrated on
the country road. ProbablynOt very
many are aware a bicycle has the
same right as carriage on the road.
A test case was tried some time ago
in one of the higher courts with the
above decision.-A WHEELMAN.
1t has been quite generally report
ed the past few days that Hyde Park
was to ask the coming general assem-
bly, to set that part of Morristown
occupied by ex-Gov. Pages extensive
hide business, and the Hyde Park
railroad station, from this town to
Hyde Park. This is without doubt
mistake, as we are informed that
no such action is contemplated.
Mrs. Daniel Smith, mother of c. F.
Smith, died of consumption at her
home on Congress street late Sunday
afternoon. The funeral services were
held at the Methodist church on
Tuesday afternoon. The funeral SER
mon was preached by Rev. w. E.
Douglass of Waitstield, former pas
tor here, to whom Mrs. Smith was
strongly attached. Rev. Mr.. Nanton
assisted in the service.
Morrisville ball players went to
Danville the other day and got licked
to the tune of II to 6. Our boys
say the Danvilleites are gentlemen,
and they can play ball, especially on
their own ground, which is sort of
side hill sugar bush, with birds
chirping in the trees that here and
there spread their vordSr : eVtsS.ahe
diamond. The conflict will be re-
newed on the grounds here at an
early date.
Chas. Bradley of Boston, who was at
A. A. Niles last week, lost his pocket
book and several mileage tickets, dis
covering the loss upon his arrivrl
home with Mr.. Niles people from a
trip to Mt. Mansfield. Hoping to
find the valuables, Mr.. Bradley and
Andrew Smith drove again to Mans
field the next day, starting very early,
At about 6 o'clock Mr.. Aller found
the entire outfit in the street near
Mr.. Niles where they had been thrown
from the wagon seat in turning. 1t
fell into the right kind of hands and
Mr.. Bradley very fortunately was in
possession of his property upon his
return from a second trip to the
mountain.
Rev. D. Cook Sanderson, pastor of
the Centenary Methodist church of
Montreal P. @. has been iu town the
guest of A. A. Niles. Mr. Sanderson
will be remembered as young man
in our school here during the pastor
ate of his brother, Rev. Robert San
derson, over eighteen years since, the
latter now being at Idaho Springs,
Colorado. By invitation Mr.. San
derson occupied the desk at the
Cong'l church Sunday evening and
preached very able and interesting
discourse, filled with original thought
expressed in an original manner,
from the text I'd Timothy 1st chapter
and part of the Sth verse. Mr.. San
derson left Monday morning to spend
the balance of his vacation at the
White Mountains, Portland, Old Or
chard, and Boston.
Attached to the call for the Demo
cratic caucus to be held this evening,
are found these words: "All voters
who favor the repeal of the school
and highway law are invited to at
tend" 1t doesn't take long to figure
out what this may mean, and the
Republican voters of the town OF
MOrristown who realize the import
ance of the issue before them should
rally in an undivided line to the sup
port of that staunch Republican and
honest, straightforward citizen, who
has received the unanimous nomina-
alton of large caucus. Mr.. Smith Is
nomination was as clean and above
board an event of the kind
as this town has seen in many
years. He does not consider
the present school and highway
laws perfect, but believes in a further
trial with amendments that will be
sure to improve them. By reason Of
his personal worth as a citizen, and
because of the principles for which he
stands, Mr.. Smith should have the
hearty support of united Republic
canism, and we personally know that
