MANCHESTER DEPOT.

Plenty of wind and snow, regular
March weather.
James Bentley has moved to the
Center in with his father, Truman
Bentley.
Flora Bourn who has been at the
Mary Fletcher Hospital at Burling-
ton has returned home. She is still
very low.
AT the last regular meeting of the
Daughters of Rebekah five new men,
bers were initiated.
Several are on the sick list among
them, Mrs. Daniel Swallow who is
seriously sick.
Ed. Eddy, wife and daughter of
Hoosic Falls, N. Y, We're in town
over Sunday, called hereby the death
of Mrs. Eddy's brother, S. W. Bourn.
George Wyman and wife of jana
lea were also in town over Sunday.
Called Home.
Between the hours Of eight and nine
last Wednesday eve "the grim messen-
ger Of death" entered the home of Sew
ell Bourn and took the man OF the
house. So silent was the work done,
that no one was aware Of his presence
or know that he had been there until
his wife undertook to arouse him to
make ready for bed. Calling him she
received no answer and then she went
to him and felt of his hands and then
head and could then hardly believe
the fear that crept over her, that he
had gone Help was Immediately
summoned, but Of no avail, the work
was surely done and there was no
help.
Mr.. Bourn hal been in feeble
health for sometime having heart
trouble and rheumatism, but this day
he had seemed better than for some
time beforej and had been down
street visiting round and had returned
home in the best of spirits. He ate
hearty supper and chatted away awhile
and finally said TO his wife, who has
been quite sick, that if she was moi 60
ing to occupy the lounge for few mo-
ments he guessed he would and that
was the last.
Mr.. Bourn has always lived here
in this place and there was no other
spot quite so dear to him as here. He
was man of sound judgement and
had held important Offices of trust
in the town and had epresented the
town in the state legislature. He was
a member of the Baptist church and
for the last ten years had been deacon
Of the church. In the death OF Mr..
Bourn the community lose good citi-
zen, the neighborhood a kind and ac-
commodating neighbor, and his family
a kind husband and an indulgent
father and grandfather. He leaves
wife and one child to mourn his loss.
The funeral was largely attended
from his late home Sunday afternoon,
Rev. Mr.. Swart assisted by Rev. Mr..
Kelton officiating.

Genesis of Cotton in America.

The first planting Of cottonseed in
the colonies was in the Carolinas in the
year 1921, when seeds were planted as
an experiment in a garden. Winthrop
says that in 1913 "men fell to the manu-
facture Of cotton, whereof we have
great stores from Barbados" In 1876
it was cultivated in the gardens along
Chesapeake bay, especially in the vicin-
ity Of Baltimore, and at the opening
of the revolution it was garden plant
in New Jersey and New York, but its
real value seems to have been almost
unknown to the planters up to about
ITO years ago.

Sometime during the first part of the

funds were placed obtained right to
divide the money among the common

this town until three or four years ago
the corporation voted that the money

A Great Campaigner.

Ohio has produced two of the three
greatest political campaigners of my day
james A. Garfield and William Mckin-
ley. | need hardly say that the third
was James G. Blaine of Maine The chief
qualities that 60 to the making Of a really
great stump orator are simplicity and
directness Of statement, a clear far reach
ing voice, winning personality, an in
born faculty for giving to spoken
thoughts such projectile force as will
secure for them Judgment in other
minds, and finally physical endurance
All these qualifications Nc Knley pos
sesses to high degree. He has not as
wide a range of thought and illustration
as Garfield had, and he is not as mag
nehc and as spontaneous as Blaine
was; bnt neither of those two superb
orators had as great gift for going
straight to the understandings of plain
people as he possesses. He never tells a
story in his speeches; he is the personiti-
cation of seriousness and earneStness
He quotes no poetry, he strives for no
merely oratorical effects; he never abuses
his political antagonists or the opposition
party. He always starts out to convince
the understanding of his hearers: then,
when he has presented his facts and set
forth his processes of reasoning, quietly,
logically, and persuasvely, he warns up,
his deepset eyes glow, his form seems to
tower, his voice rings out like a trumpet,
and he drives in his argument with
sledge- hammer blows of short, sonorous,
epigrammatic sentences. He has won
derful staying qualities. He is never ex-
hausted. To every fresh audience he
brings the charm of a vigorous presence.
He has extended his stump speaking
work from his county to his COMPRESSION
al district, from his district to his State,
and from his State to the whole country :;
and do not believe there is public man
Of this day who has made as many ad-
dresses OF talked to as many people. Dur
ing his great stumping tour in 1894
which unquestionably won for him the
presidential nomination, more than two
millions OF people in eighteen States heard
his voice. Once he made seventeen
speeches in twenty -four hours. At Hutch
inson, Kan, thirty thousand people as
sembled to hear him, and in Topeka his
audience was estimated at twenty five

The Free Silver Craze in the South

While many Of the Southern States
have declared for free silver is not few
influential Journals OF that section are
doing good work in behalf of sound
money. The CLARK sonville Leaf Chronicle
OF Tennessee in a recent issue presents til e
following impressive ar ray of facts for its
readers to deliberate upon:
/. There is not hrst-class CONNER
cial country on earth now that has free
coinage.
,. There is not a free silver country
on earth that has as much as - per cap
tia in circulaton-all kinds Of money
3. There is in circulation in the United
States 81 per capita, or SO. 30 more per
capita than any free silver country on
earth
4. We have more in circulation to- day
than ever before, and more per capita
than any free silver country on earth
). One dollar will buy more sugar,
coffee, flour, meal, meat, medicine, hard
ware and clothing than in 1878
Is. A barrel of corn, a bushel of wheat
or 100 pounds of tobacco will buy nearly
double as much Of the articles that farm
ers consume as the same kind of corn,
wheat or tobacco would buy in 1873.
I. The wages of the laboring man will
buy double as much Of these necessaries
of life now as in 1878, and his wages
have not been reduced one fourth as
much as the purchasing power of his
money has been increased.
The Galveston News republishes the
above and makes the assertion more
emphatic to its patrons by adding;
CAN the above propositions we assert
without the fear of intelligent contradic-
ton. Then, if it be a fact that no free
silver country on earth has as much as s.
per capita. and if it be a fact that we have
about S24 per capita; and if it be fact
that we have more silver in circulation
per capita than any free silver country in
the world, and if it is fact that the pur-
chasing power of our dollar is now about
double what it was in 1873, and that the
products Of the farm will purchase more
necessaries of life than in 1878, our free
silver friends will have to hunt farther fo1
the hard times complained Of They
can charge it to the reduced circulation
or to higher prices

and superintendent in the West and
South, wherein the writer's frankly tell
their own experiences. They are not per-
sons who have grievances. They have
few complaints to make. But the straight
forward explanation of the conditions
under which they work throws new and
startling light on the whole system of
our overcrowded and oversystematized
schools. In fact there is no other point
| of view so instructive as this These con
LESSONS emphasize several large facts and
tendencies, among them these
All of the writer's confess that their
own training was inadequate, and they
complain that the teachers who now enter
the profession have been inadequately
trained.
Nearly every one of them tells of grave
hindrances to educational progress caus-
ed by the system Of the political manage
ment of schools. Until teachers and SUI
perintendents are chosen without any
reference to politics, no great progress
towards better work can be made
Every one reveals the fact that the
patrons of the schools and the public in
general take too little interest ID the
schools.

Great Expectations.

My wife and | are looking out for country
board at present;
We want spacious, airy room, with out
look wide and pleasant
Our table must be well supplied with fresh
and varied food
The evenings must be cool and dry, and
fishing must he good.
There must be no mosquitoes, and we want
three mails a day;
The beds must have the latest springs, or
else we cannot stay:
We'd like a horse and wagon that we our
selves could use,
And there must be lots of lovely drives, and
many charming views.
The other guests must all be such as we are
glad to know
We must not not be too far from town. and
the trains must not be SLOW
These are our modest wants, and in con-
clusion we would say,
That seven dollars week IS all that we ex-
pect to pay.
