leaving Chickamauga.
took good care to carry several bottles
of the Bitters TO Porto Rico. 1t is Wen
for me that 1 did. A few days ago was
severely attacked with stomach troupe
suffering intensely. One dose of the Bit

currence of the pains l took a horse dose,
which effectually and permanently relieved
me. I recommend Sloats Bitters TO every
one, especially to those contemplating

BELLOWS. q FALLS VICTORIOUS.
High School Wins in IA A cIaremOnt- Sad
Accident Mars The Pleasure.

Yesterday was the tenth annual field day
OF the G, v. 1. A. A. at Highland View
Park in Claremont. The high schools in
Windsor, Bellows Falls, Claremont and
Newport competed for the cup and the
long sought for victory came to Bellows
Falls. We have been unable to get an ac-
curate report this morning but understand
the points were about as follows: Bellows
Falls Az, Claremont 43, Windsor Al, New
port IL. A complete report will be given
next Wednesday.
A sad accident marred the pleasure Of
the day. One OF the Windsor boys was
throwing the 12-pound hammer when il
SHE'D toward fence covered with boys.
All scattered and the hammer fell on the
back and neck lot 1O-year-old son o.
David Cushion. The little fellow wal
knocked to the ground senseless, the blood
roaming from his mouth and nose. Hi
father, who was near, was so effected thai
the blood also ran from his mouth and FOL
time he seemed like dead man. A tel
ephone from Claremont this morning sait
the boy was still alive but with little hop'
OF recovery.

Another Special.

Warrants for special town and corpora
ton meetings are getting to be almost as
numerous as the newspaper specials during
the late uppleasantness with Her Majesty,
the Queen of Spain. The latest bulletin
announces special corporation meeting to
be held on Tuesday, June 6, i7.30sPgM.,
to act on the following: a<Hf bLosa
ARTICLE 1. To see if the corporation
will vote to instruct and direct its water
commissioners to lay an eight.inch pipe
from the junction of Rockingham and
Canal streets along said Canal street and
across the iron bridge over the canal,
thence across the railroad property to and
along the street between the Vt. Farm Ma
chine Co. building and those Of the Bellows
Falls Machine Go. to meet the six-inch
pipe on Bridge street, or take any action
in regard to protection against FIRE upon
the Island. and provide means therefor.
ARTICLE 2. To see if the corporation
will vote a sum Of money for the support
OF the Bellows Falls Brass Band, and if SC
how muchp }s uoeeo. ~
No one can deny, however, that there
should be more ample protection on the is.
land, but it seems pity that oprr waite,
system was not laid out on more extern
sive scale at first. Taking up small and
useless pipe, useless because too small, Z
little here and there, year after year is al
expensive pastime. If the village fathers
of few years ago could have foresesn thu
needs of the present, much expense, annoy
ance and danger would have been avoided

A Protest.

WELLESLEY, MASS, May 20, '99.
j. G. Day Esq, Cemetery Com.
Dear Sir ri wish to add my protest to
placing cannon or any emblem Of strife,
war or discord in the beautiful cemetery at
Bellows Falls. You have labored hard to
bring it up to its present beauty and to put
such an article in the cemetery proper is
entirely out Of place, in my judgment. A
soldiers monument is well and appropriate
but any relic of the late unpleasantness is
decidedly out Of taste. You may make my
protest emphatic as you please. As l visit
Mount Auburn, Forest Hill and all the
cemeteries in this vicinity in not one can
find cannon. In my opinion Oak Hill
cemetery is the most beautiful of them all.
Hoping the G.. A. r. can find more suit
able place for their cannon am,
Yours truly,
F. H. BROWN.
