Eli Got There

d aSaaazee it is so reported. Mt
heArlrg Eli get there We cannot per-
sonally say: He lectnred in town
hall Monday evening, was greeted by
a good house full ot people, some of
whom were satisfied with their invest
ment, though many seem to consider
once to be as many times as they
would be interested in hearing Eli.
He not only got there but he stayed
there for quite a spell, and when he
had finished, and he finally did finish,
there are those who claim to have
detected a marked %chestnutty aroma
settling down with a hardly distin-
guishable thud from the vaulted
arches of town hall. But then, when
people got the wrinkles smoothed
out of their faces they could but ad-
nit that some stories do but grow
young with age, that Eli is a peach,
that he's all right. Many Others, in
view of the Disappointing outcome
of the entertainment, considered
that one ofthe most
funny things of the evening was the
introduction speech of Mr.. Lowe, in
which he intimated that he had
lived in MorrisviIle long enough to
size up the people and know just
the right sort Of talent to furnish
them, although he had "but re-
Gently come TO town." That's a

Refreshing.

1t is "A refreshing fact and a matter
to be viewed with no small amount
of satisfaction that the town reports
will show that the rapidly enlarging
Indebtedness with which the town
was burdened one year ago, has been
entirely wiped out and, counting the
uncollected taxes as assets, there is a
supposed surplus of eighteen hundred
dollars, or thereabOuts. The liquor
account, as it is finally presented,
shows no loss to the town, owing to
a very wise, though somewhat late
adjustment.
From the fact that highways and
bridges have been badly damaged in
the year, that heavy storms have pre-
vailed. that the year was started so
u%nfavorably, and tn t a time of con-
tinued financial stringency has pre-
vailed, it shows a remarkably good
management on the part ofthe Town
Fathers in bringing US to such a
pleasing position. Tally one for Mr..
Brigham and the rest. The Auditors
will advise a total tax of one hun
dred and forty cents on the dollar of
the Grand List, a little less than last
year.

Last Weeks Storm.

The rush of work last week did pot
give the usual chance for a look
around at the effects of the great
storm, which, in fact, were not sum-
med up at the time Of our going to
press. 1t was not such a remarkable
fall of snow, only about twelve to fiji
teen inches, but as a blizzard, a tear
ing gale, a business binder, "a block
ader, and damoralizer of trade and
school attendance, it was a bowling
success.
For about thirty hours the wind
and driving snow had the right of
way, and when a lull came, what a
sight! Not for years has there been
such "a piIing up of snow all through
this section, not in years has trade
and business of all kinds. schools,
etc, been so completely tied. The
walks and streets in the village, the
roads all over town, have only been
| opened after a prolonged attack by
shovel brigades. Mail connections
with Garfield were cut off for three
days. Mr.. Griswold, carrier of the
Gilmore mail, pluckily made his trip
on foot Thursday, but it took him
all day to do it. Connection with
Stowe by stage was interrupted.
With the train service mixed and I'M
certain, with mails few, no n in
town, and those who were in town
unable to get out, it was a storm
| lAnu tD hn rnpnn,,I ,arod
The great Hicks almanac foretold
the disturbance pretty clearly, and
those who get shoveled out in season
can get out their spy glass and look
for another equal disturbance before
the middle OF March. Some of The
scenes around town after the shovel
ing was done would remind one o

is in town.
In last weeks issue we were made
to say by some turn of type that
again on Monday evening we were
without arc light service, when we
did attempt to say that arc light
service was resumed again on the
Thursday night before, after a short
suspension, unavoidable, by reason
of the trouble experienced with ice in
the tube at the station. We never
desire to be taken as kicking or cast
ing undeserved reflection upon our
electric light system which, taken
"by and large" cannot be excelled in
the state of Vermont.
By personal word of mouth, by
mail communication and by some of
the state exchanges as well, have ex-
p~ressions of approval come to us
concerning our statement in re-
gard to the monumental farce
played in the Morristown liquor a

brought out by the history Of the

not stand silent while the vicissitudes
of our agency history are made the

Everyone Wants to Make Money

There is no denying this factl Then see or
write to al expert who has spent twenty
years stu lying speculations and investments.
A broker who advertised two years ago to
buy Manhattan around rs and pay for it.
and put it away in a safe and that it would
pay the investor six per cent. on his money
and a certain profit OF $25 per share on his
holdings besides. Also he advised to buy
Lake Shore around $145 per share; also
wheat around IS cents. Manhattan is now
selling at $117 per share, or $40 per share
advance, and Lake Shore $104 per share. or
$40 per share advance and wheat 81 90 per
bushel, or so cents per bushel advance.
These are cold uncontradictable facts that
appeared in public print aud in market let
ters. The same man now advises to buy cot
ton under six cents, corn under thirty cents
aud Louisville and Nashville railroad stock
under $50 per share. Every share that is
bought and paid for and laid away in a safe
will be worth II good many dollars more in-
side of one year. Cotton will show $1,000
profit on 100 bales bought now. and Louis
willie & Nashville will be a four per cent. divi.

be selling at $50 per share. Corn will be sell
ing at 40 cents before July next. Write to Il.

Two ReeentIy added Features

in MorTisville are worthy of some at
te%ntion, as being in the line of i'm
provement and indicating a certain
spirit of up-to the-times that has al
ways characterized our local doings.
THE FIREMEN's HEADQUARTERS,
on the second floor of the new engine
house, on Union street, is one of these
features, and one that is appreciated
fully by the membership in Morris
ville's fire department. 1t is not
mammoth, not elegant in style or
finish, but it is roomy enough, cosy
and comfortable, suitable for all
business or social gatherings of the
department. Here the boys meet
from time to time and a sense of no
little satisfaction prevails in consid-
Grafton of the fact that at last they
have independent quarters. Three
dozen chairs have been purchased by
the boys, and they gratefully ac-
knowledge the gift OF a picture from
Mrs. Il. NJ. Gordon, a clock from
Henry Waite, a handsome chair from
Col. G.. w. Doty, a nice table from
George W. Clark, and material for
another table from one of their mum
Der, c. f. Borden.
Our fire ladies are fully aware of
the measure of interest in their wei
fare, which has been manifested by
our people, and will be found ready
for as meritorious service in the future
as in the past.
THE NEW GYMNASIUM,
covering quite a plot of ground east
of Congress street, and reached from
the entrance way on the east side of
the Universalist church. This build
ing, which is II by AZ feet in dimen-
sions, is o very near completion
and is constructed on lines which
makes it just the thing for the use for
which it was designed. The central
portion of the interior finishes nearly
twenty-five feet in height, and when
it is remembered that the town hall
is 60 by 40 it will be seen that there
is a large area of floor and wall space.
All manner otgymnasium equipments
will soon be in position in the build
ing, and it has been proposed that a
nice bowling alley will makes decided
Improvement and addition. The win
dOws are all placed high, leaving a
completely unobstructed wall space
all around. Should the time ever
come when it would be desired for
that purpose, it would, by the addi-
ton of a stage building on the south
end and the building of a gallery at
the opposite end, be made a very
cOmmodious public hall. But it is
for far different purposes that it is
erected, and out from the scheme will
be realized one of the very best, most
practically arranged and calculated
gymnasiums in the state OF Vermont,
and all the better for its own use or
for any other purpose because it il
