1.-THE Green Hills of Vermont"

Such is the title of the handsome book
just issued by the Central Vermont rail-
road company calling attention again this
year to the many attractions Vermont offers
to the seekers of rest and pleasure in the
many summer homes among the mountains
and along the shores of our beautiful lakes.
The Central Vermont has done great
work for the state in this line during the
past three years what it has done for its
own benefit does not detract in the least
from the value of the service it has rem
dered the whole state.
The book contains 1874 pages
profusely illustrated with views of Yer
mont scenery made expressly for this years
work. 1t is printed upon the finest book
paper and is one of the handsomest speci-
mems of the "art preservative" we have
seen in many day. A large part of the
work is devoted to descriptions of the
beauties of Lake Champlain and the many
charming resorts for health and pleasure
seekers along its shores. There is no more
beautiful spot on Gods green earth than
this. No wonder Adirondack" Murray
who has travelled the world over, says there
is nothing that can compare with it; MOI
that Dr. Webb, the many times millionaire
should make it his home and spend hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars at Shelburne
This book gives full information to thos,
looking for summer homes; tells wher'
they can be found, what the cost of board
etc, will be; the cost OF getting to then
and the best way.
The Central Vermont spends thousand
of dollars annually advertising this book
in all the principal city dailies, weeklie
and magazines. As result thousand
who would never have given Vermont
thought are induced to visit us, and man,
of them become annual visitors and som
permanent residents. They spend thou
sands of dollars and are, to use a homel
, phrase, the best paying crop the state has
The book is too expensive for free Gil
culation, but any one wishing a copy sen
2 to friends out of the state, can have it, b

Proctor, May 1, 1896.

Manley and Grosvenor have been fgur-
ing again.
Manley says: 1.-The convention in YER
mont was a surprise to the friends of Mr..
Reed. They had right to expect that
Vermont would join with the rest of New
England and send delegation pledged to
the support of the New England candidate.
The delegates selected unquestionably pre-
fer the nomination of Mr.. Reed How far
they feel bound by the declaration of
preferences for Gov. Mckinley by their
convention time alone will determine. 1t
must be remembered that the convention
did not instruct the delegates, and left
them free to exercise their own judgment.
The situation Saturday was as follows For
Mr.. Reed, 1862; for Gov. Mckinley, 275 !;
for all other candidates, 217 contested and
doubtful, 95; Vermont, 8. This makes
S57 delegates elected. The contest is not
yet settled and can alone be determined by
delegates when they meet in convention at
St. Louis"
Grosvenor claims the election of 495
who are instructed for, or pledged to the
Ohio candidate. He claims that Mckinley
will have more than 100 of the 1876 mem
bers yet to be elected. He further states
that there are 20 unnamed and unclaimed
delegates east of the Allegheny mountains
among the delegates counted for other
candidates who will support Mckinley.
This demonstrates that mathematics is
not an exact science, but results depend
upon which side of the fence the mathemati-
clan stands.

Proctor Says No.

j. R. Wiley, Vermonter in Washing
ton, speaking of the action of the conven-
ton at Montpelier tells the Washington
Post just how it happened. He says:
ITO one conversant with the situation
there it would have been more ofa surprise
if the convention had instructed for Reed
instead of Mckinley. Vermont has but
little in common with the rest of New Eng
land. Socially and commercially her peo-
pie are allied with New York. Her busi-
ness men 60 to New York ten times where
they visit Boston once. Hence there was
little or no sectional pride for the favorite
son of Maine. 1t was known, too, that
Senator Proctor was not bowling himself
hoarse for the speaker, and, when it come:
down to the cold facts, whatever Redheld
Proctor wants up there is his. He con,
trolls public sentiment and had he wanted
, the convention to endorse Reed the en-,
dorsement would have been forthcoming.

Don't Carry Vermont in His Pocket.

In Washington interview published
Sunday Senator Proctor said:
''Some one has said in an interview that
| control public sentiment in Vermont and
that if | had wanted the convention to en-
dorse Reed, the endorsement would have
been forthcoming. This is absurd. No
body has ever been boss in Vermont and
certainly would not be fool enough to
try it. The people of Vermont are accus-
toned to making up their own mind. They
do not like bosses and part of the feeling
there has undoubtedly been due to their
belief that the 'bosses,' so-called are op-
posed to Mckinley, but the feeling that he
typifed the protection idea was the deter
mining factor"

Hon. II. A. Fletcher Says He is for Stickney.

The following communication has been
received from Hon. IL. A. Fletcher OF
Proctorsville:
Editor BELLOWS FALLS TINES: Your
statements, in the last issue of the ZINES,
as to my probable position upon the gov
ernorship question, are correct. ANY
statements Of different character, upon
the subject, are entirely unwarranted. For
me to appear as candidate would not
only be unwise, but would be dishonor-
able act toward Mr.. Stickney, such as |
hope never to be guilty of. am earnestly
hoping and expecting to see Mr.. Stc1ney
receive the nomination.
Yours respectfully,
II. A. FLETCHER.
Proctorsville, April 80, 1896.
This settles the question OF divided
delegation from Windsor county. The
following sentence from personal letter
from Mr.. Fletcher is also significant I:
"Several statements, in Grout papers,
that l am a candidate, are an evident
admission that something needs to be done
to divide Mr.. Stickney's strength"

Newell the Healer.

Newell, the healer, has come and gone.
The accounts of the numbers that thronged
the hotel at which he stayed were not ex-
aggerated. But more wonderful than New
ell himself was that crowd of the halt and
the lame and impotent folk with their pitt
full faith in the mysterious power of this
man to relieve them of infirmities that had
baffled the curative power of skillful physi-
clans. This was far bigger show than
either the healer himself or his manager. 1t
is something very humiliating to reflect
that in this enlightened age and in SO intel
lgent community as ours, SO large num-
Der of people should be found who seemed
ready to pin their faith to miracle worker.
The advent OF Newell and his manager is
discouraging to our pride, indicating as il
does that beneath the surface of intelli.
gence and cultivation, there still turks
somewhere in our natures remnant of the
superstitions inherited from our savage an
cestors.-Burlingto Sun.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION
Beginning of the Second Year.

May l, 1895, the present proprietors of
the TIMES took possession of the property.
A year has passed into history. What
its results have been are matter of
record. Whether we have kept our prom
ises and improved the TINES is for our
patrons to say. 1t has been enlarged and
changed from weekly to semi-weekly.
A new dress Of type has been bought.
Much of the news service is now set in
smaller type, enabling us to give better
and larger service. The circulation has
increased from 2l00 to 2700 and the adver-
tising patronage has also increased. These
results, in the face of the hard times,
encourage us to greater efforts to improve
the paper.
There are two things we hope to accom-
plish the coming year-put the list on the
advance pay plan and cut the price to 81
per year in the four counties in which it
circulates. Whether we can succeed or
not will depend upon variety OF circum-
stances.
The circulation must be increased to at
least 5000 to enable us to do this. If
every subscriber will make special effort
and get us one other subscriber, we could
easily see our way clear to do this, begin
ming with 1897. In the mean time we
promise our best efforts to give our patrons
the best possible local newspaper, as we
know that the better we serve them the
more they will do for us.

DR.. Moore Guilty.

Last Friday ended the trial of DR. j. G.
Moore Of Manchester at the supreme court
at Nashua, when he was found guilty of
the over-issue of stock the Union publish
ing company to Roger G. Sullivan.
For year or more there has been no
moral question as to his guilt, and tor three
years DIR. Moore has evaded trial upon one
technically or another, until it was almost
believed he would never be brought to
justice. AS it was, thousands believed he
would be acquitted or the jury would dis
agree, but after being out three hours a
verdict of guilty was pronounced. County
Solicitor Tuttle moved that the respondent
be at once sentenced; but in view Of the
numerous exceptions filed in the case
Judge Wallace announced he would re-
serve judgment pending their settlement
by the full bench and fixed the amount Of
bail at $4,000, securing which he was re-
leased. pending the exceptions which go
before the full bench next June.
