Recently the former owner of our plan
has by various tricks sought to regal
possession OF this publication but W

We have sought to do what we coult
to advance the interests of our city
The TELEGRAM was the originator an(
prime mover in the great Field Day
celebration which by the cooperation
of the whole community brought hun
dreds of dollars to our local volunteers
The TELEGRAM was instrumental in adj
ding that much needed institution OF
learning the Bliss Business College tc
our city. We aided in driving the
.. He'll holes" out of River street. We
have conducted two popular voting con-
tests, have called attention to various de-
fects in the management Of our city
affairs and have done our pait towards
having someone put our streets in bet
ter condition. We have constantly tax
ell up the cause of the loyal ladies of
the Civic Federation. We have not hes
itated to strike at public officials or to
beslow praise upon them if it was de-
served
All this time various falsehoods have
been kept in circulation all enanaling
from the same source and tending to work
upon the minds of certain people who
would otherwise have been our patrons.
The rumor that we were about to sus-
pend publication had also TO be worn
threadbare by its parent until now the
ridiculous side of all these lies strikes
forcibly upon the public common sense.
L. II. Me,calf recently bought the
interest of Mr.. Ross in the Barre Press
Co. and on this birthday the present
proprletors desire to thank every friend
of the TELEGRAM, and we know tina,
now they are many, for the support
they have given to us. Our circulation
has doubled during the last two months
and If we are favored with another
doubling in circulation in the next few
weeks VIC can promise the people Of
Barre II better paper than Vermont has
yet claimed. The business men of
Barre are learning that we have come

The people who are looking for bar
gains. Furthermore we can say abso-
uteIy for the benefit of our advertisers
hat we can reach more people than any

Is the result at present will show.
The TELEGRAM to-day is paying its
way, and has no intention of being laid
way in the grave yard. Give us the
amr loyal support for the next twelve
months and watch this paper grow.
The TELEGRAM will not forget the

THE TRUST ISSUE MUST BE MET.

The mere appeal to discomfort will TO longer effect what it would three years ago. The people cannot be fooled again. Only one risk exists and this needs to be soberly faced. The rapid organization of trusts on a large. scale, the increasing consolidation of capital, and the attempt of certain of these new companies to advance prices have undoubtedly raised grave qucs- tlons in many minds. These can all be met. Discussion, experience, and the working of trade laws will show that these consultations do not con tain the dangers charged, and cannot extr the rcwers or wc-k the evil as serted and attributed to them.-Phila- delphia Press
