A Dyspeptic Editor.

An editorial that appeared in two
penny sheet published in Aiken, S. c.. has
been sent to this office for our perusal. 1t
was evidently penned by am editor whose
stomach is in bad condition. If he had
been fighting on the right side and was
now drawing pension as well as those he
so severely scores, he would probably be
in a more amable frame OF mind
He says in part
ave know we killed good many in the
war, but think of it. Here are 800, ,O0O
people, whose nerves were SO shaken, that
they or their families, even to their cousins
were SO doubled up, incapacitated, their
nerves SO shattered ever since they came
face to face with our gray coats, that ever
since the war, all they have been able to
do is to draw pensions, and hurrah for old
glory (Which represented the pocketbook) >
This gentleman has quite deal more to
say to the same effect, but we cannot afford
further space for his valuable thoughts
Our advice to the Aiken brother is, be
sure you are on the right side the next
time you 90 to war.

John Smith and the Chatterton brothers

Franklin's Fat Boy.

Franklin boasts of the fattest boy in New
England. His name is Frank Gignac and
he was Is years old the 9th day Of last
November. He is the son of George and
Mary Gignac, and was born in Laconia.
They have lived in Franklin for the past /
years. His mother conducts large board
ing house, and Frank is good advertise
ment of the excellent food she provides for
her boarders. His father is lumberman,
and at present is in the Maine woods.
The past summer he was mascot for the
Franklin Base Ball Club, and when dress, d
in his neat suit and tall hat he was the pic
ture of contentment. Notwithstanding his
abundance of flesh, he can run base at
fair speed and stop ball better than some
of lighter weight. He attended school as
far as the grammar grade, and since then
has taken private lessons.
During the summer he clerked in gro
Gerry store, and when he took hold of bar
rel of flour the flour moved-with apparent
ease. He enjoys good health, and has had
but little sickness. His clothes and shoes
are made to order His shoe is No. Z on
the sole, but considerably larger than the
regulation for that size over the instep.
He is feet and inches tall, and meas
ures 53 inches around the waist, and easily
tips the scales at 293 pounds. About 40
pounds has been gained during the past
year at this rate, if he continues to grow
until he is Is, he will weigh 413 pounds
1t is possible, but not probable.

Reed an Ideal Leader.

1t is not to be doubted the republicans
of this state cherish the warmest admira-
ton for the splendid qualities of the citi-
zenship, the craftsmanship, the manhood
of Ex-Governor William Mckinley and
they would render him loyal and cntbusi-
astic support should the choice Of the
national convention of the party call him
to the leadership. Neither can there be
any question as to the appreciation of Yer
mont republicans for one of her own sons,
Levi p. Morton, who has dignified and
adorned every station in public life to
which he has been called by the people OF
his adopted state and the nation. But
there is that in the character and great
ability of Speaker Reed, that indefnable
quality with which James &. Blaine was So
richly endowed and which for want of a
better name is called magnetism" which
appeals to the confidence and enthusiasm
of men and which makes Mr.. Reed an
ideal leader-St. Albans Messenger

Proctor a Safe Man.

The st. .Johnsbury Calcdonian is not
quite SO certain that Reed will be nomi-
natcd next June. 1t says;
''Some of the state papers are booming
Gov, Morton for president Oh the ground
that he is Ncrmoltcr and should therefore
receive the hearty support Of the Vermont
delegation. While it is great honor to
be born in Vermont, we do not consider
this special qualification for the presi-
dency, nor should the Vermont delegation
waste any votes on any dark horse or pos
sible candidate. Vermont has made its
influence felt in previous national conyen-
tions and we expect it will be influential
in the next one. If Senator Proctor heads
the delegation we will wager a red apple
that his candidate will be the nominee Of
the convention"
This is what we have insisted right
along. 1t is well known that Proctor has
Mckinley leaning, but, provided he can
go with an unplcdged delegation, he is a
shrewd enough politician not to pitch his
tent in the wrong camp. If he finds that
Reed secures the preponderance Of dele
gates and other conditions are favorable
he, and consequently Vermont will be for
Reed; but should Mckinley stand a fight
ing chance he would know what to do and
would do it in way satisfactory to Yer
monterS.
