500 REWARD. 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at last one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that
is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in It's
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list Of testi.

egg business promptly and thus had
saved her head. When she stepped in.
Gen. Lee would put aside his work and
walk past deferentially upon the out

mysteries OF egg-laying at an end. She

If ever man deserved the success
he has won, it is G. G. Lord of the
Groton Times. He has built up a
first class local paper in field in which
no other newspaper man in the state
thought it was possible to sustain a
paper. 1t is improving with each
issue. This is due to hard, persistent
work. The paper is three years old
and is receiving the congratulations
of the state press.

The SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
The Drift Of Politics as Reflected by
the Newspapers Of the State.

The Essex Record: "We're almost
up to the new year-the leaf turning
period. Vermonters who have the
welfare of the state at heart cannot
turn the page with better grace or
more interest to themselves than by
saying as the leaf falls down, "My in.
vestments will be made at home. |
will try and do my own state good
turn"
The Swanton Courier: "The mess
of pottage' fellows, as the Barre Times
characterizes certain of the Grout
newspaper editors, develop tell-tale
sensitiveness when the subject of the
entire disinterestedness Of their pref
erence of senatorial candidate is re-
ferred to. The latest of these is the
Hardwick Gazette whose fluttering in
dicates the locality of another hit bird.
Montpelier Journal. :"
Every newspaper man in the state
knows why the Journal is supporting
Dillingham;.
The Swanton Reporter: ''Moody's
death removes great and good man.
Probably more souls were led into the
way of truth through his efforts than
any other evangelist that has ever
lived in modern days. He never
preached Episcopalianism, Methodism
Congregationalism, Presbyterianism or
any other ism-but Christ and his
teachings. Here was the whole secret
of his power.
The Bellows Falls Times: "There
is "a sad need of educating certain
youths of Bellows Falls along at least
one new line, we refer to the boys who
secure lucrative jobs of distributing
booklets and handbills. Few things
are more annoying, especially to peo-
Pile living in second and third floor ten
ements, than to climb down one or
more flights of stairs to answer the
door bell just in time to see the re-
treating form of a small boy and find
fluttering in the breeze flyer or pat
emit medicine ad. We hold that any
parties spry enough to catch these ur-
chins would be justified in holding
them in solitary confinement in the
coal-bin at least "a hours"
The Bethel Courier: "A party up
in Pomfret takes delight in twisting
the Woodstock Standards tail on pur-
pose to hear it growl. This is a bad
practice and somebody may get hurt.
The Standard never goes off half
cooked, but when it gets it's gun lev
eled and in range, with the editor
sure of being at the right end, then
the fur will fly.
1--WE look for Woodstock and the
Standard to support Gen. circuit in the
senatorial contest, because Vermont
has spent so many years in educating
this man up to a point where he can
be of great benefit, not only to the
state. but to the United States and
republican party.
"Not long ago, in conversation with
a western member of congress, speak

very able man and Vermont is proud
of her representation.
"' Yes, he replied, you are right.
Powers is good man, but he is not in

er stated that he considered Gen.. w.
