State VS.. Tom Morris. The prelim-
mary hearing in the case OF State VS..
Tom Morris, charged with assault and
battery, took place in the police station
Monday morning before Justice Worces
ter, Taylor for state and Dunnett
for Morris. The first witness was
E. N. Randall, upon whom the
assault was committed. In telling the
story Of the encounter Mr.. Randall said
the first be knew that anybody was fol-
lowing him was when he heard voice,
which he recognized as Morris, call out
his name and at almost the same instant
he received a hard blow on the back OF
his head, knocking him face downward
into the snow. Then, Mr.. Randall said,
Mr.. Morris hit him several times in the
face and threatened to kill him if he did
anything more about the case against his
wife. He thought he must have been un-
conscious for time after Morris lett him
for when he got up he was weak and
staggered good deal. In few min.
utes he reached Dr. Htchcock's office,
where his wounds were dressed and from
there he was carried home.
c. W. Hodge testified that he met Mr..
Randall coming down Maple street
about midnight that night. He saw him
at distance and thought it was
drunken man, as he was making consid
cradle noise, but he was walking very
briskly and was not noticeably unsteady
on his feet. He said Randall called at
tention to his condition and he noticed
that he was some bruised and bloody.
Charles Green testified that he saw
Randall in DR.. Hitchcocks office and
that the doctor was dressing his face.
also that Randall wanted him to 90
right out and get Morris arrested.
DR.. Hitchcock testified that he dressed
Mr.. Ranoal's wounds, that his nose was
badly bru sed, that he had several punches
on his forehead and large one on the
back OF the head and that he also COM
planned OF a sore hip.
Justice Worcester decided that the case
was out Of his jurisdiction and hat Mr..
Morris should be bound over in $500 bail
to appear at the next term Of the county
court. Bail was at once furnished.
The defence presented no evidence and
their story OF the encounter will not be
heard until'the trial in the county court.

To My Friends and Patrons Il wish


to address this article more especially to
the people of St. Johnsbury and vicinity.
1t is nearly eighteen years since COM
menced in the florist business here. From
small beginning have enlarged until
today claim to have as good an estab-
llshment for growing plants and flowers
as there is in Vermont. 1t costs a good
deal OF money to establish and run a
place like this in such climate as we
have. / trust that the public will ap.
preclate my efforts and give me share
OF their patronage. make a speciality
Diminishing Cut flowers and floral de.
signs. 1t is my aim to fill all orders
promptly, and to supply. on every occa-
sion, just such flowers and in such guam
tity, as are desired. But l would re-
specially call your attention to the i'm.
portance OF sending in your orders as
early as possible, so that they may be
filled to your satisfaction. Particularly
does this apply to special occasions. as,
tor instance, holiday festivities, weddings,
social gatherings, dinner parties, ETC.,
N
While my greenhouses are extensive ard
have large facilities for supplying
flowers. it is not easy always to so rcgu.
late the supply as to fully meet he de.
mand, which is OF course intermittent
and cannot be relied upon; and it occa-
sionally happens that those who order
at the last minute, allowing no time Tor
procuring specially desired flowers from
the city, do not have their orders filled to
their complete satisfaction. Even the
largest wholesale houses at times might
not be able to fill these late orders All
persons who make business of handling
flowers dispose OF them as soon as pos
s'ble. People do not wish to buy stale
flowers or those that they suspect of
being stale.
A florist is obliged to be very careful in
a p ace OF this size, where he may not sell
flower all day, or perhaps so or rs
cents worth, or it may be rs many dol
lars worth in less than twenty.four
hours. IL he carries too large stock his
losses may cted his profits and this is
something that the public do not stop to
think OF when they find it impossible to
~ Iuot What tuS1 wait vi u lew
minutes notice.
Cases OF emergency nobody can ar.
range for; but it will be found much
more satisfactory 10 all concerned if my
customers will remember that, as the
early bird is alleged TO secure the worm,
so the customer who sends in his order
Tor flowers early is sure to get what he
| wants.
The mail, the telephone, the telegraph
and the special messenger can be used at
any time, to the advantage of the Gus
Toner.
Let me have your orders at the earliest
possible date, and they shall be filled to
the very best of my ability.
As ts prices, remember that these are
regulated by supply and demand, and
that at Christmas time and just before
other SPECIAL seasons when great
many flowers are being called Tor by the
public, the rates charged by the larger
dealers invariably advance.
The prices l charge you at such times
are based on what l myself have to pay
when ordering special lots from these
dealers to 6ll local orders.
