A map of Bellows Falls, published in
1858 by Presdee e. Edwards, civil engi-
neers and map publishers of New York,
has been hanging in the public library for
few days, being kindly loaned by George
A. Weston, that the residents of the pres

years have wrought in this prosperous vii
lage.
In the upper lett-hand corner Of the map
appears pictures of the residences now
owned by James III. Williams and A. N
Burbank, Mr. Williams house being given
as the property then Of j. Wilson and A.
A. Stone, while Mr. Burbank's house is
down as the home of A. Fleming. In
the opposite lower corner appe ars picture
of the Island House as it looked in its
palmy days, with r. N. Shu1teff as pro-

AT the north end is the old Morgan place
and the land west of Atkinson street TO
the Terrace, now we'll built up, is given as
the property Of the Bellows Falls Canal

said that to the blacklist cloud there is a
silver lining. To the darkest and longest

saddest heart comes time of peace, of
rest sometimes, perhaps, season of re-
joicing and of joy. Some circumstances
will occur to break the awful monotony
and gloom. And to the Niobe of nations
there will come day when the tear shall
be dried, the pail OF gloom shall be lifted,
and the long years OF sorrow shall give
way to at least a season of patriotic rejoic-

ency seizes him. This mental depression
increases as one course of treatment after
another fails utterly. The future is dark
and filled with gloom. Days of wretched-
ness follow nights of horror in endless pro-
cession. His utter helplessness to rid him
self of the incubus adds to his misery. The
terrible effects of the deadly drug become
more and more apparent. Deeper and
deeper he sinks into the mire of despair,

for the relatives OF Andrew Watkins.
deceased, who died in Memphis about
December, 1896, leaving some property.
1t is said that he was brought up, or at
least, that he received an education in this
county. Mr.. Watkins was by trade car
penter, and unmarried. He had lived in
Memphis from 80 to 81 years, and had
accumulated some property; and it is said
that some people there had undertaken to
get the property on the assumption that he
had no heirs at law.

Prohibition In Larger Places.

The prohibitionists might just as we'll &C
knowledge first as last that the cities and
larger towns are slowly but surely getting
away from them. The foreign element
that always fiocks to the large centres is
opposed to such a restriction of the traffic
in liquor and, if the tendency of recent
years continues, in five years from the
present time Burlington, ST. Adams, Rut
land and Barre, although the present
mayor of the suburb up the creek" is a
supporter of the prohibitory law, will be-
come democratic cities and in consequence
have majority of public sentiment for
high license. This is almost as inevitable
as the law Of gravitation, but, so long as
the present system of legislative represen-
tation is continued, things will "fall into
space" before the opponents of the present
statute can have any reasonable hope that
it will be supplanted by high license law.
In the small communities, composed al
most entirely of native-born citizens, the
prohibitory law has a support that will last
as long as the race retains its Characters
