A PRACTICAL example of the dangers Of
fast driving was witnessed on South Main
20 of Berlin was driving at furious pace
% along this crowded thoroughfare and
le knocked down the little son OF E. j. En-
" mis-. Those who witnessed the accident
d. thought sure the little fellow was killed
;. He had bad cash cut in his temple tina,
+. necessitated the services of physician, and
he was otherwise badly bruised. Why not en-
er force the city ordinance against fast driving
ID inside the city limits? A fine of goodly di
or mansions in this case was deserved, and
as would have had a salutatory effect.
vi A THREE-LINE advertisement of certain
a articles for sale appeared in the WATCH
e MANS business mention column las
~ week. Within two days purchasers of the
~ vehicles appeared, and applications con
10 tinued to come after the stock had beer
:; closed out. This is not an exceptional case
~, its novelty is i'll the circumstance that
y similar notice had previously appeared il
", ". the columns OF the contemporary up street
III whose claims are like the fables related o
~ some patent nostrums, without attracting
~ single applicant. If you have anything tt
sell or any want to supply make it known

~ THE ladies of Montpelier and vicinit
~ crowded the millinery store of Mrs. M T
"a, Dickey during the opening days last week
~. and the beautiful head-gear there displaye,
,rt gave genuine delight to scores of feminin
s an hearts. The prettily- trimmed windows an,
III counters were laden with hats of all shape
na and shades, trimmed in the latest and mos
h h improved style. The most pronounced
as feature of the season seems to be flowers
ep true to nature, fascinating in the extreme
~ and whether they be roses or what not
Y they are punched in profusion. Ribbons
" silks, flowers, even straws are beautiful thi
,st year, because of their delightful hues, an
an surely the lovely tints of the rose, and tn
nd delicious gradations Of tone shown in all tn
or flowers are more attractive to the masculin
~ eye than the feathered songsters of othe
"a years, that decorated the hats of mother
aa sister, wife or sweetheart.
