A Quiet Time Monday.

Diligent inquiry fails to disclose any
lively interest in the annual corporation
meeting which comes next Monday even
ing There is some talk to the eff ct that
the entire list of old off .ers will be re.
electe for another year, but there may be
few surprises when the balloting COM
mences The article in the warrant pro-
viding for the purchase of corporate n
team does not seem to meet with marked
favor and the probability j, that it will be
dismissed with little discussion. One or
two have talked the feasibility of choosing
a business man for street commissioner
who shall serve for a nominal remunera-
ton the same as the bailiffs. If some good
business man would come to the front and
state he was ready to devote bis time and
effort to looking after streets without pay,
the idea might increase in popularity.
Many pleasant things are being said OF
the present board of bailiffs and the
chances are that they will be allowed to
draw S25 each for another year even il
some of the other officials get stranded on
the shoals of political uncertainty.

Dead Beats are Uneasy.

In our issue of January 18th, we stated
that The National Mercantile company, OF
Hartford, Conn, had arranged with Deputy
Sheriff D. M. Thayer of this place to serve
two or three hundred writs in this vicinity,
and that this collecting company would
probably retain Attorney Robb to act for
them. Mr.. Norton, the manager of the
Hartford company, was in town Friday OF
last week, and had lengthy interview
with Mr.. Robb, and satisfactory arrange
ment was made to go ahead at once
with the wholesale prosecutions that
characterize the success of The National
Mercantile company.
1t should be understood that this COM
paEy is employed by hundreds of mer-
chants in southern Vermont to collect their
bils, and while it will irfict no hardship
on anyone not able to pay, it will deal
very severely with those who can pay and
will not. Some of the non-payers in this
section who make it feature of theil
existence to evade the payment of theil
just debts, are said to be on the anxious
seat just at present, as they do not wish tc
pay, neither do they wish the notoriety
that the court room will give them.

while expensive to the publisher, is great
convenience to the reader, sa' ing him the

to induce them to join the circle OF TIMES

course of conversation with little knot
of friends one evening last week." even

couptry's commt rcial future as follows:
The Spanish war has opened our eyes
and ears and minds and pockets. We are
larger in mind, every one of us. New
markets are being found for our goods,
and our export trade is developing in ways
but little while ago undreamed Of For
instance, we have been exporting mission
aries on the hoof,' as 'twere. The propo-
sitiou now is to dres, and can them here.
We will thus meet all climatic conditions,
and in view of the abur dance AMI cheap
ness of the stock we can easily undersell
like product from any o'her country.
Then, too, when we get gond trade thor
oughly established en- a pr m article OF
