We suppose the newly elected road
commissioners in this state are giving
serious attention to the matter OF max
ing good roads. The day for patchwork
roads is past, or ought to be, and now 1T
should be the aim of the road makers to
do something OF more permanent char
acter. Ofcourse we do not suppose that
al, the roads in the state can be made
new at once, but little permanent road
can and ought to be made inevery town
and thus, ultimately, we would hav>
good roads all over the state.-Farmers

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City,
ILL.,, was told by her doctors she had con-
sumption and that there was no hope for
her, but two bottles DR.. Kings New Dis
covery completely cured her and she says
it saved her life. Mr.. Thos. Eggers, 1879
Florida St., San Francisco, suffered from
a dreadful cold, approaching consump-
ton, tried without result everything else
then bought one bottle of DIR. Kings
New Discovery and in two weeks was
cured. He is naturally thankful. 1t is
such results, of which these are samples,
that prove the wonderful efficacy of this
medicine in coughs and colds. Free trial

IL is impossible for these country towns J
TO prosper. whrn they are compelled to
paw from l to 2is PR cent tax on their
whole assessed valuation.
To this excessive taxation is largely
due the shrinkage of farm values and the
driving of money out Of TIL State. In the
agricultural portions of Vermont tins
diminution of the ASSESSED valuation Is
constant. IL is going on at this very
moment. Thus. in Addison county the
official figures show that from 1890 to
1896 there was a shrinkage in the real
estate valuation of S56l 900, or about
16 per cent, and in the valu ton oil rer'
sonalty of $500. 900. or about 20 per
cent. Bennington county lost S+oo'"o

One reason is found in the enormous
taxation under which Vermonters are
staggering.
The St. Adams Messenger has compiled
a table of the tax rates voted at March
meeting in 156 of the 247 towns in Yer
mont.
An analysis of the figures shows that
only a. of the 1856 towns have tax OF
less than 100 cents, while rs have one OF
$50 or over and IA of these have 200
cents and over. And this is by no means
the end of the story, for in most OF the
larger places there is large village tax
to be added to the town tax.
The little town of Eden, in Lamoille
county, heads the list with tax of $50
cents, and Concord, Essex county, stands
second with 225. At the other extreme
is Proctor, with tax of 10 cents.

Health and long lite to the estimable
Mrs. Louis Hard, of Carnegie, Pa! She
has presented her husband with three
sons and named them Mckinley, Hobart
and Hanna respectively. The rational
way to add to the sound money cause is
to increase it's voting power. In addition
to being good politician Mrs. Hard
keeps hotel and, like Mr.. Riley, whom
they speak of so highly, she no doubt
keeps it right well.
