CDR. George Of Bellows Falls is prepsr-

body the ideas Of L. S. Hays Of Bellows
Falls, who is candidate tor the Office"
says Montpelier paper.
One carpenter was heard to remark re-
Gently that there are at the present time 80
vacant tenements in Bellows Falls, and an
other said he believed the numler would
reach 100. These figures seem large and
to one not acquainted with the situation,
too large.
The candidates for the office of insurance
commissioner are legion; among the num-
Der are c. W. Brownell of Burlington.
formerly secretary of state, and 81 E. Tay-
lor of Brattleboro. L. S. Hayes was as
early in the field as sny candidate and SO
far is practically the only one who has re-
ceived favorable Recommendation at the
hands of the state press.

Local advertisers in the TIMES are asked
to read a notice headed, ''Notice to adver-
Users" which appears at the head Of bust
ness notices in each issue Of the paper. It
is stated there that when copy for . change
Of advertisement reaches this Office later
than 9 A. M. on Tuesdays and Fridays,
change in the advertisement in the We'd
nesday and Saturday papers is not guar
anteed. All changes received prior to
that time will be set and changes received
after that hour will be set if possible, but
if not will be held for the following issue
or the next week. Employees do not work
nights, and the present rates Of advertising
are not renumerative enough SO the pub
Usher can afford day and night force.
A car load Of emigrants fresh from the
old country came over the Fitchburg road
Thursday night. As the train was too late
to connect with the B. & M. north the car
stood on side track at the depot until
yesterday noon. There were 80 or 40
men, women and children and none of them
could speak word Of English. They we're
bound for Winnipeg. Canada, and were
probably Russians, though no one seemed
to know for sure. Dirt and health sc med
to have joined hands, but goodness did not
abound, that is, if there is any truth in the
old adage that cleanliness and goodness
are akin. Both men and women wore
heavy cow-hide boots and boys ten and -
years of age wore white trousers and frocks
and armless sheepskin vests with the wool
turned to the inside. Boys ten years old
smoked pipes ~ though they bad been
used to the process all their lives.
