A Congregational church was organized
in Halifax Centre yesterday, the council
consisting of the churches of that denom-
ination in Brattleboro, Marlboro, Whining
ton, and Colrain. Union services have
been conducted at that place under the
leadership of Rev. Mr.. Streeter and for
some time it has been the desire of the So
ciety to be connected with some religious
body, the majority favoring the Congrega-
tional denomination. After the church
was organized II persons were united up
on profession and number will soon join
by letter. The society has recently been
given $4,000 with which to maintain pas
tor and Rev. Mr.. Streeter will continue in
that capacity.

wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity Of being compelled to get up many times
during the night to urinate. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon real
lied. 1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. II you need

and unequalled curative power and there
fore it has true merit. When you buy
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and take it according
to directions, to purify your blood, or

are morally certain to receive benefit.
The power to cure is there. You are not

NEED ATTENTION.

The city officers in condemning
buildings like the old Veramendi place,
and pronouncing them as unsafe might
also find several objects equally dam
gerous to life if they would but make
a visit to some of the suburbs of the
city. Parties driving on River avenue
report to the Light that two large
stout gate posts on the right side of
the avenue out toward Alamo Heights,
about u feet high, have been under
mined by the recent rains washing the
soil from under them, thus rendering
them dangerous, being apt to fall at
any time.
Parties also report a culvert on
Breckenridge avenue, leading off from
River avenue near the Jockey Club
grounds in a dangerous condition and
one on River avenue, near the resi-
7e~ce of Mr.. B. F. Johnson, as also I'M

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs
in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite. aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried 1t
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC or

County Vouches For 1t.
Mr.. Nato viliareal, of San Antonio,
yesterday received the following letter
from Mr.. Ed. Krause, a we'll known
merchant of Medina Station, which
Mr.. Villareal has given the Light for

Kind Sir and Friend:
After wishing you well, / will tell
you that that much wrote of air ship

reading and hearing a great deal about
the air motor, but have always believ-

came down just back of the Hermann

and child with the ship. The child is
very sick, and one Of the men Che says
his name is Jones) came over to get
some milk. told him to go over to
your ranch and your people treated
him nicely. AS it was very dark last
night, and you know our street car
line has no headlight, it came pretty
near striking Mr.. Jones, as it was re-
turning from the opera house. wish
it would have struck Mr.. Jones, as
then 1 would have been in possession
of his air ship. Well returning to the
air ship, they also wished to have a
doctor so got DR.. Bywater. He gave
them the necessary medicine. After
we had the child o. X. 1 asked Mr..
Jones over to the saloon, and we had
a few scoops of Lone Star beer. lie
bought a corkscrew and some bottle
beer. So we walked back to where
the air ship was. When they were
ready to ascend, Katherine Cara

while, but soon had to leave all holds

ONLY A LITTLE PLAYFUL.
The Tenderfoot, However, Didn't
Agree with the Owner.


ale amt vicious, stranger, and amt
got a single mean trait"
So spoke the owner of the mustang
TO the tenderfoot who was sojourning
in the hills of southwestern Missouri,
says the Detroit Free Press
"You just. get ON and try him and
if you don't like him don't buy him.
He may be a bit spry and playful, but
that's cause he's been in the stable
over a week"
The tenderfoot sprang to the saddle
and what happened thereafter he only
dimly remembered. The horse reared;
then he came down on all tours, with
his legs as stiff as sawhorse. Having
repeated this operation half dozen
times, he sprang forward and covered
a good section of the country at a 2:01
gait, with no running mate, either. He
reared, leaped, plunged and finally made
his way back to the starting point, made
as if to roll over and then dived for the
stable door, leaving the horseman dazed,
dumb and limp in bush near the road
side. The owner helped the would-be
purchaser to his feet, Strengthened him
out and jammed his battered hat on
his head,
What kind-kind of horse do you
call that?" gasped the tenderfoot.
"Shol He's all right. Been in the
stable week, that's all. Feels a bit
playful. But he has a right nice gait.
What do you think of thatsingle foot of
bis'ns" . .s.

FOR A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE.
BE Well Fed. Well Warmed and Well
Rested.

oughly welded to the idea that it is
Just as we'll to sit down and work on,
or that it as sign of laZ!ness to lie
down in the daytime, says the Ladies'
Home Journal. There is just such ig-
norance in the world-for ignorance it
is-of the simplest physical laws. If
q woman is observed to res: often she
is soon regarded as ''lazy." People who
are averse to exercise, or lag easily in
their work, are sick. When people shun
exertion it is because the physical bal
ance is weakened.
Another odd bit of bigotry stands like
a Zion in the way" Our grandfathers
and grandmothers did not do so, etc.
In this case it is plain that they did
not need the amount of rest that is re-
quired in these days. They had not
a tenth of the distractions of these
hurrying times. Besides, perhaps, If
they had not such faith in their
