Gludness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
. ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
1y removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utabie druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
1t afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

would call your attention to the fact
that it is very important that you should
elect Board of Assessors that will not
yield to outside influences. 1t requires
good judgment, unquestioned integrity
and great stability to withstand the spe-
cious arguments, misrepresentation, and
sometimes wrath of those who are unwil-
ling to pay their just proportion of taxes.
The whole system of taxation throughout
the land is un quail. The poor man is
taxed for every dollar. The wealthy
escape through various subterfuges well
known to ALL Should everything else
fail, pressure is brought on the assessors
for an abatement, but | am glad to say
Attachments have been the exception and
not the rule for the past year. | trust this
condition will continue. Mayors mes
sage, 1896.
In commenting on the message just
after its delivery The Journal remarked /:
AS to the board of assessors, which the
Mayor would have free from ''outside in
t1uences, we think it quite as important
that they should be free from inside in
tiuences" also, and that they should be
men of experience and good judgment.
And of course the Mayor would not have
board constituted especially to punish
certain citizens and favor certain others.
While these comments are of general
application, and as we believe, in the
public interest, they were prompted in
part by past occurrences. 1t has been a
matter of common talk that on one oc-
casion a board of assessors was selected
expressly to punish certain individuals;
and one year not only unjust but illegal
was found necessary to abate. Then we
may give an illustration of what appears
to be ''insde influence Before the city
election OF 1895 Mr.. L. f. Hanson issued
campaign sheet in advocacy of his can
didacy for Mayor in which he claimed to
be ''the largest individual taxpayer in
the city, paying tax of S631. 90
land a man who asks for no ATTACHMENTS -
This assertion was reiterated, and no doubt
some of the voters believed it. Mr. Han
son was elected, with a city government
of his own selection, and when the tax
collector came around that year the Mayor
was only called upon to pay 1916. 90. Thus
the man who had made such boast of pay
ing the largest individual tax, and who
had pledged himself as asking ''no abate-
ments," had his tax abated nearly fifty
per cent from the previous year, by Of
fcials of his own creating. AS this and
the collecting of the tax on Crosby Inn
were the chief issues of his campaign in
1895, and IS we understand the tax on
the Inn has not been collected, it would
seem that Mayor Hanson's memory is
fatally defective SO far as campaign prom
iSes are concerned.

"Me an OTIS"

The comedy Me an Otis,' which has been
in preparation some time by some of the
prominent young people, is about ready for
presentation. 1t will be staged about May
18th, and gives every promise of being a
great success. Following is one Of the many
press notices concerning the play:
the people of Barre Thursday evening
gave evidence of their patriotic disposition
and interest in some of her boys by giving
the production of "Me an Otis'' not only
one OF the largest houses seen here in many
weeks, but an audience that put it's heart
into every spat of its hands and the spats
came thick and often too. :. There was
not hitch in the play from beginning to
end. The comedy which is in four acts
was written by Charles III. Wells and is
certainly creditable work While the
startling situations" are not numerous the
strong vein of pure, honest fun pervades
the play from beginning to end. [Granite
