Stamps taken.

Letters have been received by
friends from two of our boys, Curtis
Robinson and William Belden, now
at Chickamauga, members of COM
pany |, Ist. Vermont. All were
we'll Each of the boys sent clip
ping from the Chattanooga Times,
now going the rounds of the Vermont
press. We give portion of the
most interest, here following:
The men of this regiment (tirst
Vermont) are all fine, stout fellows,
resembling in many respects our own
hardy mountaiueers. 1t appears that
after leaving Washington on theil
trip south they received one contin
Gus ovation clear to Chattanooga,
which so impressed the officers and
men that all decided TO be on then
very best behavior in country where
they were so royalty received. And
it goes without saying that this regi.
ment is the most gentlemanly body OF
volunteers that has arrived in this
city since May 10.
The modern Green Mountain boys
seem to be as full of Spartan forti.
tude as their revolutionary ancestors,
judging from the following: Edmund
Deschesne, of st. Albans, was reject.
ed by the federal recruiting officer
from Company b because he had de
formed toes on one foot, the result OF
wearing sharp. pointed shoes. The
second toe, it seems, was longer thar
the first, and over laid by the frs,
and third, making the deformity com
plete, so that in marching long dis
tances he would break down as 4 re
suit. Deschesne went to surgeon
had the offending toe amputated, Sc
that it no longer interfered with his
walking; remained in the hospital un
til the wound had healed, came back
passed the physical examination ant
arrived yesterday in Company b o
this regiment. Deschesne said tha
he did not intend that little thins
like toe should stand in the way o
his going to war.
Before leaving Camp Olympia tht
citizens of Vermont fairly overwhelm
ed the regiment with large boxes arc
hampers containing choice lunches
and the result has been that this reg
iment has feasted all along the line
touching none of their field ratious 81
far. They arrived yesterday with al
of the field rations they started with
as well as six large boxes of cake
sandwiches, pie, etc.
This regiment had, as usual, mas
cot, very unusual one at that l
was no other than very black cat
named "Little Dewey"

organ and dedicated to the Hero of
Manila, his officers and sailors, by j.
b. Simonds of S. Londonderry
The title page has the largest and
most perfect likeness of Admiral
Dewey published while on the back is
found fine picture of his flagship

liable souvenirs of the present war.
Having made arrangements with
the publisher we can furnish this
March to the readers of the SITTER,
post paid, for 25c., about one-half
list price.
We have no personal interest, finan-
cially, in this matter and are only try
ing TO assist Mr.. Simonds who is a
musical composer of the highest or

positions. Therefore, every penny
received by US will be turned over to
Mr.. Simonds.
Every piano and organ player in
the land, and especially in Vermont
should have a copy of Dewey's Vic

These royal beauties bring
Some glad thoughts of the King.
For they show His love and care,
Aud the klngly colors wear.
Sweet MS the breath of morn,
Bright as the day new born,
They banish grief aud gloom,
And brighten all the room.
Their smiling faces cheer
The toilers who draw near,
And like the suns bright ray
They drive duh cares away.
They blossom bright and fair,
Thanks to His kindly care;
And thanks 10 thee kind friend ~
For the pleasures they lend.

And no deed which | have done
Would grieve the hearts

SharerS of the joys and woes

And in my souls frail home -
A glad voice sings;
For deeds which have done
Have ch, ereda saddened one,
And healed life's stings.

His Measure Right.

In Intellectual ability, in profess
sional standing, in familiarity with
public affairs, in ability to grasp and
deal judiciously and effectively with
great questions of public policy, and
in patriotism proved in peace and in
war, Judge Read measures right up
to the full statue of a first class Con.
gresham. AS convention time ap-
proaches and voters are beginning TO
give serious attention to the matter
his candidacy is gaining in favor rap
idly, and support is coming from
some very unexpected sources. In
bestowing this honor upon Judge
Read the Second District would also
honor itself by putting the right man
in the right place, and we believe
that Windsor County can be counted
upon to do its part in bringing to pass
this highly desirable result Ludlow

JONES HAS THE LARGEST AUDIENCE
Since Joseph Jefferson Played Rip Van
 Winkle."
Special to The Age Herald.

Montgomery, Feb. 14.-Evangelist Sam P. Jones f.rrived in the city at 7:3O o'clock last ptght from Camilla, Ga, and proceed ed to the Court Street Methodist church. There he talked one hour to about 1,5o0 people, Crowds were turned away. At the conclusion of his discourse the minister returned to the station and boarded the Louisville and Nashville train for New Orleans where he will deliver a series of lectures.
 In the course of his remarks last night he arraigned the municipal administration He said if the devil had it in his power to elect set of officials for Montgomery he would surely re-elect those now in power MT. Jones said they were serving the devil in a very acceptable manner.
 While Mr. Jones talked the people were seated around the altar, standing in the aisles, and in fact every available inch Of space was occupied. Not since Joseph Jefferson played ''Rip Van Wrinkle" at the theater last have so many Montgomerians assembled.

Montgomery, Feb. H.-The state dem- ocgatic executive committee will meet in the city council chamber tomorrow, a number of the members having already ar rived.
 The meeting is for the purpose of fixing the time and place for holding the state convention, and determining the qualifica- tion of voters in the primaries.
 It is understood that the committee will invite all persons to participate in the democratic primaries who will vote for the nominees and principles Of the demo- cratic party.
 large attendance is expected.

 Likely To Be Affirmed
 At a meeting of the present state exec utive committee. held on Jan. 20 of last year, the following resolution was adopted and it is likely the committed will reaf- firm the position taken by it at that time: Resolved, by the democratic state ex- ecutive committee of Alabama, That we hereby cordially invite all conservative voters, irrespective of past political asso- ciations or differences, who can unite with us in the effort for pure and econ- omical and constitutional government, and who will support the nominees and prin- ciples of the democratic party to partici- pate in the primaries of the party through out the state.
 "Resolved, further, That all persons so participating in the primaries, or mass meetings of the party hereafter to be held, thereby pledge themselves to support the nominees of such primaries, conventions or mass meetings, whether municipal. county, state or federal"
 The indications tonight are that the dem- ocratic executive committee tomorrow will resolve to call the state convention to meet on April 5. The place of holding the con- yention Is in doubt. Montgomery is offer ing all manner of inducements, but Bir- mingham may be selected.

DID NOT COMPLY WITH LAW
In Issuing Commissions and Licenses to Cor ,Y porations.
Special to The Age-Herald.

, Montgomery, Feb. H.-James G. Cowan, assistant examiner of public accounts. has made his report upon the offices of W. J. Hillard, judge of probate, and T. M. Mur- phree, tax assessor of Pike county. The accounts of the tax assessor were found to be in good shape, and the only trouble found in the records of the probate judge das in regard to issuance of corporation commissions and corporation license. The portion of the report bearing on this Is as follows:
 "Under an act approved and passed Feb. 18th. 1893, it was required before any com- mission shall be issued to any corporation organized under the general incorporation laws of this state( authorizing such cor poration to do business, the parties to whom the same is issued, shall pay to the fudge of probate, or other officer is- suing the same, certain fees for the use of the state. This fee was graded according to the capital of such corporation. Where the capital does not exceed $500O0 the fee is $25.
 q find that on the 7th day of December. 1893, a commission was issued to the "Jef- ferson Publishing Co.," with capital stock of $7O0; the fee in this case would have been s25. On Sept. 2, 1895. a commission was issued to the 'Joint Stock Association of Troy, Ala" with capital stock of 1000. The fee in this case was $25. On Oct. g, 1895, a commission was issued to the '"rroy Book and Stationery Co.," with a capital of E000. The fee in this case was $25.
