honestly by Brattleboro people after they have
read the opinions given below by Mrs. E. Whitney

of a dozen articles all making the same claims
can depend upon most, one endorsed by people
well Known In Brattleboro, or eleven endorsed by
utter strangers. Read this and compare the ev-
idence with other statements about other kidney
medicines published side by side with it in the
columns of this paper.

marked symptoms of kidney trouble and an inter
militant pain across my back and hips Any
over exertion such as walking far or standing too
long aggravated it and during such attacks | was
used up for several days tried several we'll
known medicines but they did me little or no
good, and as was willing to try anyth ing which
would check the trouble, when saw Doans Kid
ney Pills so well recommended l was induced to
20 TO F. II. Durgins drug store and get a box.
They did me great deal Of good. l am ever SO
much better, as far as the pain across my back is
concerned scarcely feel It now. From my ex-
perence with Doan's Kidney Pills have so much
confidence in them that l think il anyone has
kidney complaint and they give Doan's Kidney
Pills fair trial they will not be disappointed in
the results Just such emphatic endorsement
can re had right here at home Drop into the
nearest drug store and ask the druggist what his
customers report to him.

THE VERMONT NEWS.
Farm Sales

And other Statistics Issued Inv the
state Board of Agriculture for the
Year 1890.
The state board of agriculture's animal
statistical report of farm sales. new in
dustries, and summer travel i'm Vermont
for the year 1S96'' has Just been issued
Reports from the clerks of 223 towns show
that there were sold between Jan, 1. 1896
and Jan. l, 1897, 1867 farms; ITO of these
farms were not occupied at the time of
sale. The number of farm sales reported
in Windham county is 1872, % of the farms
being unoccupied.
1t is believed that the bottom price for
farm lands has been reached. or. At least
that prices can hardly 90 much lower,
The year 1896 brought lower prices for
farm products than any in a long time.
While crops were abundant the farm reve-
nue. was small. Still there is much less
complaining than might be expected under
such conditions, and the average farmer
takes hopeful view of the future and.
when comparing the condition of his bust
ness with other industries, he finds MANY
reasons for being contented with his pros
poets.
The reports received show that during
the year 1881, 100 was invested in new
manufacturing enterprises and that these
are furnishing employment for 1853 per-
sons. Sixteen thousand, two hundred dol
lars of capital invested and so additional
hands employed are credited to Windham
county. The new Windham county indus
tries specifically mentioned are a shirt fac
tory in Nottingham, Mann's patent chair
company in Wilmington, a saw mill in
Londonderry, and lumber mill in STRAIT
ton.
The reports of the volume and proceeds
of summer travel in the state are manifest
" very incomplete.

Good News at Fort Ethan Allen.

Word has been received that the Third
United States cavalry is to be transferred
to that post from jefferson Barracks, Mo-,
under an order just issued by the secretary
of war. This is an important military
movement and means that the headquar-
tiers of the regiment will be at Fort Ethan
Allen; that a mounted band will be sta
toned there and, later on, possibly more
troops. Gen. Guy V. Henry, lieutenant
colonel of the Third cavalry, is in COM
mand, and is no stranger to Vermonters.
He has fine record as one of the younger
volunteer soldiers and army officers.
Burlington people hope this movement
means that the Vermont post is TO be in'
creased in size, and that it may be made
one of the leading military posts in the
country.

Smiles Irradiate the Countenance

When those atrocious bodily troubles, chills and
fever, dyspepsia, kidney or rheumatic disorders,
yield, as they invariably do to the benign action
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, remedy of COM
prehensive use, pure in composition, unobjection-
able to delicate palate, and thorough in effects
Sick headache, loss of appetite, flesh and sleep,
nausea, heartburn, are among the physical annoy
ances obviated by the Bitters. They are IN the
nature of signals of distress displayed by dis
ordered stomach, liver and bowels, and disappear
with the cause that produced them. But thesG
signals should be needed at once. Then the woe
begone look of chronic Ill health will speedily
disappear, and vigor and comfort restore a cheer
full aspect TO the face. That faithful index TO th'
condition of the system never fails to wear lool
of sunshine when the Btters is used to dispel thu
cloud.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
White Mountain Lumber Camp Burned.

The lumber camp of Zealand, near Twin
Mountain. y. H., was burned Tuesday
night, and more than 100 people are home
less with little beside the scant clothing
they stand in. The camp was one of the
largest in the White mountain region and
was operated by VanDyke Il Sons. The
fire originated in a peculiar manner. A
pulley in the box shop became loose and
its friction set on fire a quantity of shaw
ings. The alarm was Immediately sound
ed, but in less time than it takes to relate
it the strong southerly wind had famed
the flame into a destructive fire, which
spread from mill to mill and from house to
house until the whole village was ablaze.
In a short time the vast piles of lumber
were feeding the flames, and it is estimated
that $4,000, 600 feet of logs, together with
1000, 900 feet of sawed lumber were de-
stroyed; $4,000 will scarcely cover the
loss. The camp is halfway between the
Fabyan house and the Twin Mountain
house, in the very heart of the White noun
tains. Thousands of summer visters pass
through the camp every season, either by
train or by coach, as they drive from Fab
yam to Bethlehem. Through Zealand by
coach is one of the most popular drives in
the mountains.

Gated. Gabre will probably be caught.

Liquor Raids at Remington.

The prohibitory wave struck Benning-
ton Sunday morning at an early hour,
when Deputy Sheriffs Godfrey and Nash,
armed with search warrants issued by
States Attorney Bates, went on visiting
tour to the places where intoxicants are
supposed to be sold. Fears of raid had
been entertained for several days, and the
propretors had only little liquor in stock,
so that the seizures were small. A drouth
prevails, and it has been almost ilnposs-
BILE to get a drink. All those in whose
place liquor was found were arrested, and
in some cases from three to FIVE persons
who were indulging were also taken. The
liquor was taken to the court room.
