The hordes of savage Matabeles are
gathering in the hills around the town.
Less than 900 whites are available for mil
itary service. Fifteen thousand natives
are reported in the immediate vicinity.
Supplies of guns, ammunition and food are
being pushed forward and may arrive, but
if they do not do so shortly it is thought
that one of the bloodiest massacres of his
tory will occur

WESTMINSTER WEST.
This Years Sugar Crop.

The amount of sugar and syrup made in
the place is found to be as follows, syrup
being reckoned in sugar at eight pounds to
the gallon: j. H. Clark, 2150 pounds; f.
G. Campbell 2000; Mrs. G. c. Goodell,
1900; r. Miller; 1900; G. c. Harlow,
400; j, NJ. Powers, 1880; H. A. Good
hue, 1875: J. L. Ormsby, 1880; T. Field,
400; II. p. Dinsmore, 1850; E. j. Cook,
100; B. j. Houghton, 1850; II. p. Ran
ney, 1000; H. NJ. Wilcox, 1000: George
Bell, 1000; E. G. Butterfield, 1000; j. 2.
Ranney, 900; A. D. Kerr, 900; G. A. Hall,
$50; j. NJ. Barnes, 800; r. w. Carpenter,
800; w. A. Durham, 600; W. F. Buxton,
500; II. G.. Gorham, 800. This gives a
total of more than $1,000 pounds by "a
makers. There are only two or three 9th ers
in this part of the town south of the north
schoolhouse. There are several large
makers north of it in Westminster, so that
the amount manufactured in the whole of
the west parish is probably not far from
$1,000 pounds.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. F. Goodell have re-
turned from their winters stay in Atlanta.
1t is rumored that they may go West in
search of employment.
Mrs. Loren Goodell has been in Bellows
Falls for several weeks undergoing treat
ment upon her eyes. She has been troubled
with the sight of one eye since her illness
in the early part of the winter. 1t proves
to be difficult form of cataract. She has
had an operation for its removal, and now
it is understood that the other eye is also
affected. She has the sympathy of all her
friends here. Miss Mabel Chandler has
been housekeeper for Mr.. GoOdell.
Young men have been engaged for the
season by our farmers as follows; BY Eli
jah Goodell, Walter Holden and Herbert
Metcalf; by Harlan p. Dinsmore, Charles
Moultrop by Henry c. Gorham, Sidney
Ware, who occupies Mr.. Rumrilrs house;
by f. G. Campbell, Herbert Ware; by j.
II. Clark, Roy Cook; by r. w. Carpen-
ter, James Melvin; by j. NJ. Powers, An
ders Nilsen; by b. j. Houghton, Mr..
Blodgett of Putney. James NJ. Bean is at
home this year upon his fathers farm.
The other farmers carry on their farms by
home help or hire by the day only.
A milk route has been started here by
an agent of the Boston Dairy company.
He was in the place last week and address
ed the people interested at the town hall
Thursday evening. The next day was
spent in going about among the milk pro-
ducers with the result of sufficient encour-
agement for starting the business. The
milk is taken by Raymond Goodell along
the west road from Putney, beginning be-
low the Putney line, to Saxtons River, and
thence is carried by Mr.. Whitcomb to the
milk train at the Falls. Twenty cents per
can is the price agreed upon with the COM
pany until Oct. l, three cents of which is
to be paid for transportation. This takes
nearly all the milk in the place which does
not go to Westminster creamery.

ATHENS.
Death of an Aged and II onored Resident.

Death of an Aged and Al OnOred Resident.
BY the death of Amos T. Ball our town
loses one of it's oldest inhabitants. He
was born in Athens Sept. 4, 1908, and was
the oldest of a family of IA children, only
two of whom survive him-F. p. Ball of
Bellows Falls and n. j. Ball of Jackson
vile. When a boy Mr.. Ball learned to
make boots and shoes and for several years
travelled with his exit" from house to
house, as was then the custom, staying at
each place long enough to make what
boots and shoes were needed for the year.
AT 20 years of age he established himself
in business at Westminster West, where
he employed several hands and manufact-
ured boots and shoes of superior quality.
He lived at Westminster 20 years, being
postmaster - years. In 1888 he married
Elizabeth Harlow, who died in 1S4O, and
by whom he had four children, none of
whom survive. In 1S41 he married RoX-
ana Whitney, who died 10 1888. They had
three children, who are now living in Ath-
ems. In 1851 he sold out his business in
Westminster and bought his fathers farm
in Athens, on which he has since lived.
He was man who has always been
deeply interested in town affairs, having
held one or more town offices almost con-
IlnuOuSly since 1901. lie was one OF Jne
selectmen during the Civil war, and was
untiring in his efforts to supply the num-
Der of men required from his town. He
was overseer of the poor a long period of
years, always working for the best interest
of the poor and the town. He was justice
of the peace for 30 years. In all town af-
fairs he was as careful of expenses as he
was in conducting his own business.
Although not member of any church,
he was interested in church matters and
was one of few persons who planned and
carried through to completion the erection
of the neat and convenient church edifice
known as the "White church, in Athens.
He was man whose honest, manly deal
ing in all matters has left an influence that
will long remain as monument to mis-
memory

Gold-Bug Philosophy.

Calling four-bit piece dollar would
not add anything to its intrinsic value or
its purchasing power.-Telegram.
1t is Just such misleading state.
ments a. the above that serves the
purpose of the gold-bugs in throwing
dust into the eyes of people who do
not give all matters full consideration.
The purchasing power OF the "four-
bit" piece, which must of necessity be
of silver, is to-day equal, in all minor
transactions, to half a dollar value in
gold, and that constitutes its "intrin-
sic" value, parity with gold. This
results from a necessity for subsidiary
coin, as we'll as the partial recognition
OF silver as debt-paying money in
transactions which do not come under
the gold trust and are not large enough
to have it nominated in the bond
that payment shall be made in the
twin-metal, gold. The intrinsic"
value of silver. as we'll as gold, depends
upon the use made of the metal, and
the aid that is afforded to it by statute
in giving it footing as redemption
money.
If the law "called" four-bit piece q
dollar, and made it legal tender for
dollar OF debt, does the Telegram
pretend to say that its intrinsic
value and purchasing power would not
be correspondingly enhanced? No
one contends, however, for such an
absurdily, but simply that the unit Of
value be transferred from the rich
mans vault to the poor mans pocket,
and enough of his dollars be coined
to meet the exigencies of business.
When this is done, the occupation OF
photographers of the riddlecom-ree style
will have passed into innocuous desue.

trout swallow my hook and then play
with it; to let the little rascal swim q
long way Off and haul him in again,
cavorting and Hopping so gracefully"
Heaven forgive her, We thought; that
a woman should take delight in tortur-
ing one OF Gods humblest creatures,
struggling to save its life.
Before Great Britain and the United
States talk any more about establish
ing an international court of arbitra-
ton for the prevention of war, it
might be well for them to arbitrate for
the lower animals and cease hostilities
with them. Let the royal family
and nobility swear by the horns of the
bull and the lions beard that the fox
hunt, the rabbit-chase and cock-tight-
ing shall be prohibited by act OF
parliament. And then let the Con-
gress of the United States assert its
majesty and put stop to deer-st1k-
ing, elk-hunting, the Ubiquitous prac-
tice of live-bird shoots, and every other
form Of cruelty to inoffensiye ami
mails.
Should anybody be led to think
We are over anxious or too en-
phatic in our strictions, let them read
Cowper's little poem, "Cruelty TO
Animals" committing to memory
for precept reference the paragraph
relating TO the besetting sins of our
youth:
But alas! none sooner shoots If unrestrained
into luxuriant growth, than cruelty-most devil
ish of them air.

A UNITED CONvENTIoN.-William G.
Harrity, Chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, expresses the
opinion that while the silver element
may be large enough to control the
Chicago Convention, there will be no
split. He bases this belief upon the
fact that Democrats generally recog-
nize the right of the majority to rule
and almost invariably accept result
after exhausting opposition within
party lines. He says he feels that the
st. Louis Convention will do much to
clarity the atmosphere for the Demo-
Gratis, and after the tin-god 10 set up
the Democracy will fall into solid line
to knock it from ito pedestal.
