The Commission Calls Attention IN tho
Law ana the Huntington system.
The railroad commission In its animal

Ia" respecting the consolidation of clt.
ROADS and refers to the Southern Pacific
company In the following language:
Article 10, section s, of the State con-
stitution provides as follows:
no railroad or other corporation. or
the lessees, purchasers or managers of
any railroad corporation shall console
cate the Stock property o. franchises of
such corporation with. o., lease @: pur-
chase the works or franchises OF. or in
any way control any railroad CORPORATION
owning or having under its control a
parallel or competing line; nor shall any
officer of such railroad CORPORATION act
as an OFFICER OF any. other railroad cor
poration owning or having control OF a

And article i2ij OF Sayles' Texas Civil

II snall be unlawful Tor any railroad

A Choral Service.

With an audience filling the house
and the large number of singers
present, Sunday evenings Christmas
choral service at the Cong'l church
proved an unqualified success and an
appropriate closing of the Christmas
week. festival. Miss Lena Irish pre-
sided at the pipe organ with marked
ability and a very large chorus choir
rendered selections. There were Sc
lections by Morrisville's famous quar-
tette, composed of Miss M. NJ. Stay
ton, Mrs. II. NJ. Rich and Mr.. F. G..
Fleetwood and Prof. Whipple, each
of the four had solo parts, as did
Mrs. Lang and Mr.. Gates. Mrs. G..
M. Powers and Mr.. Fleetwood sang
a duet, Mrs. H. G. Fisk a solo, and
there we're duets by the Misses Bar
rows and Fisk. Brief responsive
readings were intermingled and the
pastor made a few interesting re-
marks touching upon the religious
service of song. The entire program,
as a sacred concert, was most hap
PLY selected and admirably rendered,
rejecting much credit upon those
who do voluntary service and upon
Morrisvilles' musical talent, which is
of an uncommon quality.

At the close of the openingexercis
at the Academy last Tuesday morn
ing Miss Strong, a member of the
present graduating class, stepped
quickly to the front and, asking par
don of the Principal for the seeming
interruption of the regular school
work, addressed the teachers; refer
ring in a few well chosen words to the
faithful manner in which they were
discharging their duties and request
ing that, as tokens of esteem aud
good will from the students, they
would accept the packages which she
presented. An Investigation revealed
in each handsome, presents of solid
silver, and the students learned that
there are times when even school
teachers are troubled to find just
the words they wish in which to eX.
press their thanks.

George NJ. Powers, as president oil
the Young Mems Republican Club OF
Vermont, was in Burlington on Fri
day and presided at d meeting Of tie
executive committee of that organ
ization, the meeting resulting in the
choice of Rutland as the place for the
annual rally of the young Republi-
cans of the State, and February u
the date. In this connection a word
or two concerning this young towns
man of ours may not be out of place,
although it may be q trif9 early for
political predictions. A short time
since, the report meandered no from
the south part of the State to the
effect that George NJ. Powers would
be a candidate for Secretary Of State,
and if this be really true there would
be little question as to the sort OF
support this, his home town and
Lamoille County, would give him,
but the point is made by some of the
State papers that the proposition
lacks one important factor, and that
is his personal desire or consent.
How this may be we do not under
take to know, but now comes a new
proposition, one that has been in the
minds of many of his friends here,
and would be very sure to meet the
approval of Morristown voters in
general, unless it might be the small
army of ambitious political seekers
for the same preiprment, who are
secretly hoping that the Represent
ative lightning may chance to single
them out as a willing victim. This
new proposition embraces the fact
that Morristown's representative in
the coming Legislature will, by right,
belong to a village man and that no
man living within the corporation
can exceed the ability of George NJ.
Powers to represent this town at
Montpelier, and furthermore, if his
townsmen should see fit to select him
as Representative, the peculiar abil-
ity and tact of this young aud rising
lawyer and politician would be very
sure to be recognized and result in
his speedy selection as speaker of the
House. In either event Morrisville
and Morristown voters will be found
on deck, if opportunity is presented,
but a cold winter i%ntervenes.

THE NEW WoMAN's TRoussEAu.

Speaking of the bridal season,
Here's a trousseau made with reason:
Handkerchiefs to cry or sneeze on,
Not those little lace affairs;
Bonnets without any bows on,
Not a flower, not a rose on;
Shoes with wide and blunted toes on,
Has at least a dozen pairs.
Skirts that are not flOunced and plated,
Tucked or frilled or decorated,
But are simply-bifuTcated,
Reaching just below the knees:
No mOr corsets, no more groanin',
Not a cent the bride has blown in
For a waist that has a bone in;
And all this bride wants is ease.
No more lingerie enchanting,
No more ribbons zig-a. zanting
Cut on the bias Chat means slanting),
Flutter all about the bride;
For, in spite of other rumors,
Such the fate and such the doom hers,
She'll be married in her bloomers,
Boomers very loose and wide.
Tennis suit within her trunk is;
Riding coat, like any lunky's;
Golfng cap, the shape that monkeys
With the organ-grinders wear;
But there's one ol%d-fashiOncd notion,
spite OF all progressive motion,
She will cling to with devotion,
'T'is the hairpius in her hair.

The handsome memorial volume,
elegantly bound and of material that
will withstand the ravages of time,
that vas presented some time since
to Post James NJ. Warner No. 4,
6. A. r., of Morrisville by Congress-
man Powers, who designated it more
especially as a tribute to the memory
of his brother George r. Powers, who
figured among the foremost Of Nor
ristOwn's volunteer soldiers, is now
completed in its written history so
far as is unfolded by the course of
time up to the present.
The committee from the post
created to undertake the work of
compiling the military records of all
those who went to the front from the
town of Morristown, and all those
who have since become members of
james NJ. Warner Post, whether en-
listed from this town or not,
have had a laborious duty to per-
form. Post Commander A. A. Niles
and Post Adiutant II. B. George
have had the bulk of this work to do,
and all the written matter has been
very neatly transferred to the parch-
ment sheets of the book in a clear cut
legible hand by Miss Lizzie Webster.
The index, to which one first turns,
has arranged in alphabetical order
the names of 283 Union soldiers. OF
this number nearly or quite 240
went from Morristown, the balance
have been or are members of the To-
cal post. The opening pages of the
volume have in their order asynopsis
of Congressman Powers address
when he presented the volume, the
address by Col. Doty, then Post
Commander, in accepting the same,
q historical sketch of the post
by A. A. Niles, and a brief personal
sketch of the giver of the book. A
full page is given to the personal
history and military record of each
whose names appear.
The-suppliment contains a copy OF
resolutions adopted upon the death
OF post members and also has O com
plete record OF the death and
burial of all such and other com
rades who went from this town, SO
far as the facts are known. The last
matter of record for which space is
provided in the book will be the last
meeting of the post when the death
of it's members has so depleted the
ranks that a further continuation OIL
the organization will be impossible,
The volume, which will grow in value
an time passes, will be safely housed
in the bank vault.

EDITOR NEWS AND C%ITIZEN:- =
We thought we answered Mr.. Brigham's
questions plainly enough to satisfy him, and
lid not intend to tire your readers any more,
but allow them to turn their thoughts to the
pleasures of a Vermont winter for amuse-
ment; but as it seems we did not make it
quite clear to Mr.. Brigham, we are obliged to
try again, although it seems a hard task to
make him understand anything he does not
want to.
We presume his views of caring for the poor
we're better appreciated "a years ago, but
they will hardly do for q thriving up-to.date
town like this, and if Mr.. Brigham wants to
hold that office 81 years more we would advise
him to spend his leisure time between this and
next March looking up advanced style and
ways of the people, that he may be an up.to-
date officer, and not spend three hours trying
to get rid of paying ten cents for the comfort
OF a poor man. AS Mr.. Brigham always says
sin my opinion" the people are too busy to
attend a % meeting once in a few weeks,
but will trust him to pay out what money is
necessary for the comfort of the poor without
such an outlay of time and money.
We would advise Mr.. Brigham not to leave
his part of the work HALF DoNE in trying to
save a few cents, and so make it IMPOSSIBLE
for Mr.. Town to complete the work in a man
ner to satisfy Mr.. Brigham and everybody
else. GEORGE Il. TowN.
