very necessary to urge them
upon the peoples minds. Our
prices for these goods are any
where from one quarter to a
half less than the price gener.
ally asked. The reason prices
are so low is that we make no
exception of Furniture and Car
pets. Anything the people
need shall be sold at what the
people can afford to pay. The
spirit Of genuine business is for
the peoples improvement, not
for their oppression. If we
asked as much for Furniture as
generally asked, you would
say as people used to say; "Oh,
it's all very nice to have nice
goods, but it costs more than I
can afford" Nobody has ever
yet been able to make that re.
mark when talking about this
house, regarding chamber sets
or other merchandise. The re-
mark we hear most frequently
is "You don't say So" When
it pops into everybody's mouth
there must be a great deal of
meaning in it.

much damage was done and business was
temporarily paralyzed. The public schools
were closed and the industrial plants of the
town lost much time. Drifts were heavy,
but the snow was easy to handle and roads

THE PUTNEY COLUMN.
Pastor Harris in Favor of Forming
Humane Society.

The pastor of the Congregational church
writes the following: zone of Putney's
greatest needs is a Humane society, and
such | would like to help form. 1t is GER
j tainly time that shocked citizens and
Anonymous writers, if they really mean
!, business, should come out boldly in the
+, Interests of the cause with which they
( seem to sympathize. This work is un-
4 popular and does not make the worker
u too popular among the people who mani
tfest deeds OF brutality. The indignant
swriter of last week told some striking
truths, and such that can well be ponder
ed; a name assigned TO the article would
however, have given force to the facts.
The humane work is second to none in
the branches of Christian effort, and it is
my earnest desire to organize society in
Putney with the chief aim of wiping out
of our record possible future actions like
many of the past. To the list of cruelties
as horse-whipping and dog whipping must
be added cat-peddling, for which Putney is
quite popular.
Brutality, of which last weeks event is
a specimen, is the basest form of coward
/ ice, and shows not only lack of kindness
in the offender, but a marked lack of
moral courage in the witnesses.
If all persons who are willing to go into
this work will forward their names to me,
\ we will organize, in the interests of our
community, society that will not only
protect the dumb but educate the rising
generation in those things that have to do
with the building of noble character and
of wipng out of our 'civilized community"
that which gives striking evidence of bar
barity and cruelty.

Total,

AS compared with the year previous the
road commissioner expenses are some
5000 less, and the seectmen have expend-
ed about $500 less, while there is an in
crease in the cost of supporting the poor of
about $400, owing in large measure to the
unusual sickness prevailing the past few
months. There is also an increase of
about $50 in school expenses, caused by
renewing the supply of school books, and
repairs on buildings. One thousand dol
lars has been paid this year on the bonded
railroad Indebtedness of the town, which
is now $4,000, bearing interest at four
and one-half per cent. The selectmen

loss by investment, and insuring the H.
