tobcr than began work for ii. W.
French, helping him while building
his block, stayed with him about
four years he died in 1874. / than
worked with his brother John French
about six months helping him to
settle up business and dispose of
portion of the goods in the store
then bought the balance of the goods
and commenced a small trade, moved
INTO the brick store in 1876, and have
been there since that time, my trade
having been aStonishingly good. 1T
IS with sadness that disconnect my
self with the grocery business, as
always enjoyed the social part of that
trade. | thank my good customers
that have all stayed with me, not
withstanding the great inducements
that have been shown to make then
trade elsewhere. But now let me ask
| YOU all to keep on at the old stanf
where my successors Balrd X Llhnell

Senatorial Comment.

The Messenger believes that Gen
William W. Grout will be elected
United States senator. 1t bases this
belief upon information secured from
various reliable sources and from its
own experience in the affairs of Yer
mont politics. 1t believes that in
such supreme test of political saga
city and skill as has now developed,
General Grout is not to be beaten bv
any OF his present competitors, and
that, more than all this, he already
has pledged to his support sufficient
number OF votes to insure his cleo
tion.-[St. Adams Messenger.
No newspaper in the state is more
anxious than this paper, that the
contest over the senatorship be alb
solutely free from any suspicion of
any improper or illegal methods.
We submit that no charge should be
made by any paper against any can
dldate unless it can be proved be-
yond question. If Gen. Grout has
used money to influence votes as a
few papers have dishonorably insin-
uated, they should substantiate their
words as it would certainly defeat
him. The fact that they do not at
tempt to prove these dirty insinua-
lions is proof beyond question that
they were lying and that they knew
it. All this sort of talk on either
side, or in the interest of any one, is
a disgrace to the press of the state.
There is altogether too much loose
talk allowed in every campaign, and
this is no exception to others that
have preceded it. Barre TELEGRAM
