Of what it does in the south. This ex-
plains why it is that the federal House
Of Representatives is always inclined
to be Democratic. Just how to remedy
this wrong, short OF a constitutional
amendment, which certainly would be
impossible, is O hard proposition to
solve. Somehow the Democrats seem
much more concerned about the poor

iect race than they do about millions
Of another race who have already tasted

Representative-eIect Bundy.

Fred G. Bundy is native of Gale
donia county, having been born
in Lyndon, February II, 1859. He
came to this place in 1879 and
entered the employ OF H. E. Fletcher &
Co. as bookkeeper. About Is years
ago he engaged in the shoe business
at 45 Main street, which business he
has built up by his industry and
business acumen to its present high
standing. Mr.. Bundy has always
been interested in the affairs of the
town and village and for several
years was village trustee.
In 1894 he was appointed post
master at st. Johnsbury by Presi-
dent Cleveland and filled the office
for over four years in a highly &C
ceptable manner to the many pat
rons Of this office. Mr.. Bundv has
always been identified with the
democratic party and is one of the
leaders in St. Johnsbury. He is ex-
ceedingly popular with all classes
and in the campaign which just
ended his strong personality and
universal popularity drew to his side
many republican votes. He was
married in 1885 to Miss Nellie A.,
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. J. D. Fol-
som, and they have one daughter.
Mr.. Bundy's religious preference is
Episcopal and he is one of the YES
trymen of St. Andrews church.
Though many of our townspeople
had hoped to see St. Johnsbury rep
resented in the legislature by re-
publican no one questions Mr..
Bundy's fitness for the office and his
many friends will watch his public
career with interest and are glad
that the honor has fallen on one so
worthy Of it.

Indian Women Again.

1t is hoped that by next Monday even
ing the box of clothing to be sent to
India by Bishop Parker will be packed
and on it's way. While there has been a
ready response, yet, much is still needed
to fill large box. 1t is hoped that
people will gather from their wardrobes
and send new material even at personal
sacrifice. Remember that remnant OF
two and one half yards put into this
box, will make waist for a woman,
and a piece of cotton goods three by one
and half yards is sufficient for the veil
or drapery tor head and shoulders.
Send all clothing and material to the
Methodist parsonage or church, where
the packing is to be done.

Elisha Mays Story.

The following paragraph about our
townsman appeared in Fridays issue of
the Montpelier Daily Journal:
That large and jolly Democrat, Elisha
May of St. Johnsbury. was at the Pa
vilion over night and this noon went
to Royalton with his mental sledge ham
mer to nail campaign lies from the
Bryan point of view. Four years ago,
if remember correctly, Elisha was a
gold and anti.Bryan Democrat, but
this year he is in the thick of the fight
for everything in the Democratic plat
form. He makes no definite predictions,
and only ventures to hint darklv that
there are going to be some stupendous
surprises. We all knew that before
Elisha dawned on the local horizon.
By the way, he says he is raising great
enthusiasm and making point, as he
thinks, against prohibition by telling this
story: At the iqour agency OF GER
tain Windham county town the usua
book is maintained for the inscription
of the names of the purchasers of liquor
and the purpose for which it was want
ed. A recent visitor received his pint
signed his name and set himself to con
sidering what he would state his pur
pose to be. An inspiration soon hi
him, and he wrote "sick pig" This wa'
apparently considered d bright idea anC
the 32 following purchasers made th
same entry. Elisha asks if this was 1
