The Lincoln Fountain Pen.

Price 81 no only; but the price is the only
thing abou. the pen that is cheap. The
Lincoln is in fact $3.50 pen, and it is in
all respects first-class pen. The editor of
this paper had tried, at various times, the
most approved high-priced pens on the mar
ket, and returned to the stub steel pen
every time as the only thing ready for bust
ness on demand. Some months ago the
Lincoln was sent him ON trial. and it has
proved great success. 1t is always ready
to "go," but never overdoes the thing
the ink flowing always uniformly and in the
right measure. This pen is now used in all
departments of this office, for all kinds of
service, and has stood the test without a
failure. The Lincoln is also in use in the
banking, insurance, commercial and manu-
featuring offices of Montpelier, and has been
bought by people in all the professions and
employments. 1t is the UNIVERSAL FAVOR
TIE. Every pen guaranteed. For sale at
the Watchman Office, or sent by mail, post
age paid, to any part of the country, on re-
ceipt of $1.0O. Address Watchman Pub

Laws OF Vermont.
SESSION OF 1894.

The great success of the Pocket Edition Of
the la vs. of the session of 1892 induced the
publishers to issue a similar edition of
the laws of the session Of 1894, which is
now ready for distribution. 1t contains
the public acts, in numerical order, with
a comprehensive index. 1t is printed on
good book paper, in clear, legible type,
substantially bound, paper covers. GO
would rather pay fifteen cents for the
Pocket Edition of the laws than to have
the old newspaper supplement for nothing"
Such was the frequent remark of all classes
of people two years ago. The reason is, the
Pocket Edition is a compact, convenient,
permanent form, with an index. The
newspaper. supplement has none of these
advantages, cracks and becomes illegible
and useless after folding a few times, or is
easily lost or destroyed. Single copies,
postage fir 9, 10 cents; ten copies in one Or
der, S1.O0, with 15 cents additional for post
age. Cash must accompany orders to avoid
opening accounts.

The Watchman and Cosmopolitan.

The weekly newspaper and monthly
illustrated magazine should be part of the

Every intelligent parent must wish to keep
his family in touch with the community
through the weekly newspaper. If he can
combine with it a monthly magazine repre-
senting the best in art, literature, travel.
and science, at a little more than the price
of one publication, he will have the equip

YOUNG MEMS ASSOCIATION
Presidents Report

To the Young Mems Association-Gen-
tlemen: 1t is with considerable interest
that the condition of the Y. NJ. A. may
be reviewed and find the year of 1894
close with so favorable manifestation of
support upon the part of the people of
Bennington to assist the Association in
supporting the Library and maintain in
a iudicious manner the trust that has
been bestowed upon us.
1t will be seen by the report of the Ii
brarian that there has been an increase
in the number of books taken from the
Library over the previous year, this in
crease has not, however, been main
tanned in proportion to the year in which
the Library was removed from the Sec
ond story to its present quarters; this
may be due largely to a renewed interest
that changes, in the way of improved sur
roundings, are such to excite for time.
1t would be of great help to the Lii
brary if systematic means was provided
whereby a regular supply of desirable
current publications could be added and
establish feeling among the community
that the Library was being kept carefully
supplied with all the substantial litera-
ture of the day.
The resources of the Association are
so limited and uncertain little cacula-
ton can be made to keep up a desirable
supply of new books from any income at
its present command; for the year, how
ever, the Association is able to show a
gain in finances; with all liabilities met,
we can carry a reasonable balance to
next years account.
Through the generosity of our es-
teemed citizen, Mr. Henry w. Putnam,
we have been able to increase the num-
Der of volumes upwards of three hundred,
recently we have also been favored with
valuable contribution from Mr.. VIM.
B. Sheldon which will be very much APP
preciated by all interested in encyclope-
dial works. Respectfully submitted by

Republicans in Clay County DESERVING.

J.L. Gentry, Of Clay Center, was a
Topeka visitor recently. He is one of
Clay county's many good citizens. In
speaking Of the political situation In
that county to a reporter, he said:
"The populists of Clay county have
nominated strong ticket and the In
dicstions are for an overwhelming vic
tory. l base this prediction on the
fact that many who have been republi-
cans until the last election are now
with us. One of these is George Nor.
gan, who has heretofore been repub-
licsn local leader, and was delegate
to our county convention. Then there
is Charles Taylor, an influential col
ored man and one Of the king bees.
He and every member Of the colored
republican flsmbesu club have an
nounced in the Dispatch that they are
done with the 8. o. p.
"Probably three-ffths, If not larger
proportion, of the republican voters of
Clay county are for is to / silver, and
many of them mean it. When the re-
publican county convention failed to
mention silver in their platform, it had
q disappointing effect on those men
who have grown weary of the strad-
ding and Intentionally misleading tac-
tics of their party, and the result is
dissatisfaction so great that many hon.
est and intelligent republicans can no
longer be kept in line.
"The turning down Of the old SOL
diers by the republican convention was
noticeable and ID being resented.
"PopuliSt principles are being looked
upon more and more faVorsbly every
day. What card the republicans will
play next is not known, but they have
made record Of broken promises and
duplicity which will result in their en-
tire defeat In Clay county from this
time forth"
