fast; then that bearing-down feeling.
Her doctor says, "cheer up, you have
dyspepsia; you'll be all right SOON"
But she doesn't get "all right" She
grows worse day by day, till all at once
she realizes that distressing female
complaint is established.
Her doctor has made a mistake.
She has lost faith in him; hope van
ishes; then comes the brooding, NOR
bid, melancholy, everlasting BLUES.
Her doctor, il he knew, sholld have
told her and cured her, but e did not,
and she was allowed to suffer. By
chance she came across one of Mrs.
Pinkham's books, and in it she found
her very symptoms described and an
explanation of what they meant. Then
she wrote to Mrs. Pinlham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice, feeling that she was
telling her troubles to a woman.
Speedy relief followed, and vigorous
health returned.
Lydia E. Pinllham's Vegetable Com
pound instantly asserts it's curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments
of women. 1t has been the standby
of intelligent American women for
twenty years, and the story recited
above is the true experience of hun
dreds of women, whose letters of
gratitude are to be found on file in
Mrs. Pinkham's library.

VERMONT is a grand old state, Montpeier
a beautiful city, and the Providers home
pleasantly located therein. Yet, neither
the lingering autumn glories of the vista of
trees, down which he looks as he writes,
nor the memory of the inspiring anthem
sung by summers choir of mount iin peaks,
can entirely obiterate a slight feeling of
discomfort from his mind. 1t il the discon-
tent Of one who looks forward fearfully TO
the usual long winter. To purchase the
pleasures of a brief summer by the endur-
ance of a never-ending winter seems OF
questionable advantage.

The finding of human skeleton upon the
farm of III. p. Farr on Monday has caused
considerable excitement. The facts as re-
ported to the writer would indicate that a
murder might have been committed some
time and this method taken to hide their
crime. ID. III. Jennison who lives upon the
farm, was plowing when the plow uncovered
the bones as above stated. The position of
the body would indicate that the BODY had
peen thrown into hole and doubled together
SO as to occupy as little space as possible. No
ciew could be found which would lead to its
identification and the matter is likely to re-
main mystery. At the time of writing we
nave not learned what action the town
authorities will take but it is certain that
every effort possible should be made to dis
cover any clew which would lead to a
solution Of the mystery.

IN local paper" said local merchant
last week, and he further declared that he

like revolving clocks, hotel counters, etc
Yet Bellows Falls is considered an easy

TALL In with his schemes to at least pay his

Why is it that some men will pay 10

privilege of smoking a poor cigar and

tor local paper.
A leading journal on advertising gives
the following definition of circulation !:
" Circulation may be defined as the num-
Der OF copies of the advertisement which
reach the eyes of possible purchasers, or
persons who may influence possible pur-
chasers." We apply this for the consider
alton OF local advertisers to the circulation
OF the TINES. This paper is published
twice week and for purposes of ccmpu-
tatlon we will call the average circulation
each issue an even 25O0. Then each week
at least 5000 copies of the TIMES have
been seen at different times. But it is an
established fact in the newspaper fraternity
hat many others beside actual subscribers
'ead the local paper; there is great deal
u borrowing, swapping and exchanging.
Iood authorities estimate that for every
on the list at least five others |
zee and read the local paper. At this
'stlmate 70, 200 people see different issues
u the ZINES at different times each week.
SUIT it is fact that many of those who see
me issue are the ones who see the other
ssue, SO this cuts our $4,000 in two and
caves l2,5oo different people What per
ent OF these are possible purchasers"
re cannot say. If the definition is cor
ect when it says that circulation may be
efned as the number of copies of the
advertisement which reaches the eyes of
osSlble purchasers then the man who
dvertlses twice week has big advan-
lge over man who advertises only once
week.
