How can hunters find game in the
woods? By listening to the bark of the
trees-listen to what people say; You
will find what you want at WILLARD'S."
What is better than a promising young
man? A paying one these are the kind
that get low prices and good attention at
WILLARD'S. What is the difference be-
tween one yard and two yards? A fence
there is no fence between you and WILL
LARD'S-doors constantly open and po-
lite clerks always on hand. When was
beef highest? When the COW jumped over
the moon--WILLARDh has all these pro-
ducts wonderfully cheap. When is a vol
unteer not volunteer? When he is
mustard-spices of all kinds-think of
mince meat, sausages and the like-you
can get good supply at WILLARD'S.
When should we read the book of nature?
When Autumn turns the leaves-look out
for winter, prepare for cold weather, ex-
anime fall goods at WILLARD'S. When
did George Washington take the first
carriage? When he took hack at the
cherry tree--drive your carriage up to
WlLLARD'S; gentlemanly clerks will
wait on you. What grows bigger the
more you cantract it? Debt-so when
you come to WILLARD'S bring cash and
have no debts. What is it that will be

THE FARMERS
CHEAPEST WAY

To raise colt from the farm
mare is to have the colt foa1ed
after the haying and grain cut
ting are done. We Used tohave
our farm mares foa1 in the
spring time and farm them jest
the same, but we have since
tried fall breeding and like 1t
better. When winter comes
give the mare and colt a good
warm pen and If possible a good
yard and let them run together
all winter If desired. The mare
can draw wood, etc.. with little
danger of "heating" her milk.
Feed her enough early cot hay
(and few ground oats) to
keep her In good condition and
the colt will soon learn to help
her clean the manager, and will
be we'll and very cheaply kept
through his first winter.
We shall mate our mare IN
October with Dandy Lambert
and think others will do we'll
to do the same. Write for ref
erences regarding his stock.

Drink Grain-O

After you have concluded that you ought
not to drink coffee, 1t is not medicine
but doctors order it, because it is health.
full, invigorating and appetizing. It is
made from pure grains and has that rich
seal brown color and tastes like the finest
grades of coffee and costs about one-fourth
as much. Children like it and thrive on
it because it is a genuine food drink con-
tanning nothing but nourishment. Ask
your grocer for Grain-O, the new food
drink. 15c. and 25c

After nearly ten years of invalidism,
Minnie Il. Moore, only child of Mr. and
Mrs. III. ID. Moore, lifelong residents
of this town, died Sept. 22d, aged forty
two years. Deceased possessed more
>than ordinary intelligence, which, com
bined with a thoughtful and loving
nature, won and kept host of friends
of her childhood and early womanhood
days. Home, father and mother was
the sum Of her earthly happiness.
There existed between mother and
daughter love beautiful in it's unset
fishness and devotion. 1t may be out
of place, yet it will but illustrate her
faithfulness to early associations, at
the time of the agitation of the school
question in this place great fear arose
in her mind that the old school house
where she, and her father before her,
first attended, and which could be seen
from the house. would be destroyed.
Nor was she satisfied until she had pic
lures of the building taken and added
to her treasures. Funeral services
were conducted Sunday at the home
by Rev. VIM. Paul of West Fairllee,
who took for his theme of discourse
from jeremiah, 18th chapter, "Her
sun is gone down, while it is yet day"
All who heard the words so fittingly
and so eXpressively uttered to the sad
dened hearts were impressed. A beau
tiful tablet of flowers with the name
Minnie thereon, surmounted by a
wreath of tube roses and white hell
trope from Mr.. and Mrs. G. H. Moore,
Lakeport, N. H cream roses from Mr..
and Mrs. Savoy, Springfield, Mass. !;
floral pillow from Mr. and Mrs. Robbie,
Bradford; pinks and roses from Lyn-
donvllle and st. Johnsbury relatives;
surmounting the white casket, and chair
the gift of relatives at the time of the
surprise party nearly two years ago
were flowers in every shape and here
were the tributes from friends in town
and adjoining towns. The same loving
thoughtfulness was carried to the grave
lining 1t with evergreen and wreathing
it with flowers.
Rest, dear form, IN thy low green bed,
Meath the flowers loved so we'll;
Thy spirit freed from all mortal pain,
Has gone to that unknown land to dwell.
Perchance in those realms where the sun never sets
A thought of your loved ones will come;
And oft in the gloom of long, lonely night,
You'll hoyer near mother and home.
MethiHks 'twould be balm to that saddened heart
To hold that communion sweet;
With thine unseen presence as beacon light,
Guiding to the shores where all souls meet.
The relatives and friends who at
tended the funeral from out of town
were Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Robbie and son,
Byron Morrison and mother, Lyndon
vile; Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Robbie, st.
Johnsbury; Mr.. and Mrs. Will Brooks
and mother, Mrs. Frances Robbie, Brad
