Dummerston appears in Frye's Complete
Geography, New England edition, page Is

as follows: fort Drummer, the site of the

of course, because that town is a little
north of Brattleboro, Alexis Z. Frye is a
prominent educator and is now superin-
tendent of schools in Cuba, where he has
accomplished a remarkable work within
the past year relative to the schools of that

1t is often better not to try to get

useless wear and tear on your nerves.
But if you can get cup of Chase

Gan Appeal to Chanoery."

As continuation of the "Court Dock
ep' the case Brattleboro VS.. Newfane has
now opened (see articles in certain county
newspapers concerning the desired (name-
ly by a few lawyers) removal of the county
buildings). While il may not for the pres
ent be written of the case discontinued"
or "nol pressed" it is certain it there will
be appealed" to higher, fairer and more
important court than that of Brattleboro
or Bellows Falls. Windham county
at large will have something to say on the
subject and if the case be pushed our com
ing legislature will at least hear both
sides of the case. Meanwhile let the de-
PENDANTS have equity from the public, as
in future they will have occasion to answer
the selfish claims of interested parties in
Brattleboro, and probably at least one
man in Bellows Falls, who is afraid of
taking cold' when he comes to Newfane
for the March term of court.
Be not dismayed. Fear nurses up dan
ger, and resolution kills it in its danger.
If men in either town named or West
minister or any other town, are growing
too feeble for little hardy endurance in
Newfane, let the county brace itself and
elect younger and more robust men to Of
fee. But even in Washington's sunny
cline many men die of grip and pneumo-
mia.

Postmaster and Mrs. Grout returned

S. n. Kenny returned on Tuesday from
several weeks sojourn in Maiden, Mass.
Rev. G. w. and Mrs. Lawrence, if they
do not arrive this week, are expected to
follow some of their household goods here
soon.
Merchant Grout is in Cavendish this
week with his wife, having returned to
his fathers family after the funeral of Mr..
Grout, senior.
S. n Kenny has leased for year the
Maiden, Mass, property received in ex-
change for his farm long known as the
"Stedman place and bought by the late
Henry 5. Kenny of E. w. Blodgett.
Beautiful Easter lilies, roses, carnations,
heliotrope and other flowers with a lovely
fern vine of large size graced the pulpit Of
the Congregational church on Sunday
through the thoughtfulness of a sick per

a Connecticut friend.
F. A. Railway has returned TO his farm
near the Brookline bridge, having sold his
other farm to Kendall Winchester, who
has taken possession. Mr.. Winchester
several years ago lived on Newfane Hill,
Boyington place, and later in other towns
of the county. Mr.. Bowie, a section man
on the railroad, removed from the Railway
house to Brookline.
Lawyer Frank Fish of Vergennes has
recently been in Washington on business
connected with his government appoint
ment as bank examiner for Vermont
which, it is said, came to him unexpected
ly. Naturally Newfane is proud of Mr..
Fish as one Of its boys reared here and one
who had the ability and perseverance to
win, wholly by his own efforts, all educa-
ton for profession. One of his char
acteristcs is loyalty to his boyhood and
young manhood home and is interests in
broad sense. Though barely 80 years
of age towp, county and state honors
have already been his in good measure.
Like other towns most of the households
Ia the place have been visited with epidem-
ic colds, in some instances two or three
members being Frustrated at once. Some
have been visited few times by physi-
| clans, more have used home remedies,
| and all who have been careful TO keep
warm and nurse themselves on general by
gienic principles, appear to have speedily
| routed the microbes. Probably very few real
cases OF grip have appeared here of late,
but chronic and lurking ailments have
taken advantage of the epidemic season to
come TO the front.
Another family from New York state
have moved TO this town, Mr.. Wilcox OF
| Port Hudson having taken possession of
the Crowningshied farm two miles south
on the county road. There are now three
families from the Empire state on farms in
district No. 3, the others being those OF
Mr.. Barber, formerly of Clinton, st. Law
renee county, on the Col. Plimpton farm,
and X. B. Hawkins of Cedar Hurst, l.. l.,
on the George Fisher farm, of late years
| owned by G.. B. johnson. Residents OF
long years ago who take The Phoenix" in
their distant homes may locate Mr.. Bar
ber's farm as occupied once upon time
| by Deacon Lyman Gould.

Campaign Lie Nailed

Republican candidate for couuty
attorney, d. w. Bailey and others
we understand, are trying to create
the impression that County Attor-
ney Scales was false to his duty in
not prosecuting b. II. Rigley in
the case OF the state VS.. Riglev.
AS matter of fact, w. N. Scales
before ne was county attorney, de-
Tended Rigley in the preliminary
examination, and could not under
the law prosecute the case after he
took the oath of Office. The stat
ute expressly declares that in such
cases the county attorney shall not
prosecute, and Mr.. Scales simply
followed the law. Long before
there was any criminal case Mr..
Scales was employed by Rgley
and others in the famous Big Buff
alo suit, aud had he gone into the
district court and prosecuted Rig
ley, and the jury had acquitted,
possibly the ones who are con-
ueihhlng nm Tor pursuing the only
course open to an honest attorney,
would have said that he was
bought off, on account of his big
fee in the Big Buffalo suit
An investigation of the facts
shows that Mr.. Scales course,
in this case, instead of being a
cause of condemnation, was to his
credit, and was the only proper
course to be pursued by any man
possessed of a high sense of public
duty. AS matter Of fact he
neither charged nor received any
fee from Rigley in defending him,
and drew no salary from the
county except as provided by law.

EDITOR FREE Press,
DEAR SIR: Last night there
was joint debate at the Ferdi-
nand school house, between w. II.
Casady, representing the demo-
Gratis, and j. N. Stacy for the re-
publicans. Mr.. Stacy opened by
one hours talk, then Casady fol-
lowed with one hour and IL half,
after which Stacy closed with
twenty minutes talk. From the
time Casady started, Stacy was in
the air, and never touched the
floor again until final time was
called on him. In Stacy's OPEN
ing address he occupied his time
by telling stories, and referring to
his hair, and treated the whole
matter as though it was joke.
Casady soon punctured him on all
points and made the speaker stay
and the republican party appear so
ridiculous that even the republi-
SohS ACiU dSiIdiHCu Vi tneIT HAL, aS
well as their party.
1t was one of the grandest vic
tories for democracy that has ever
struck this county, the republicans
We're utterly routed and put to
flight. Challenge after challenge
was poured into Mr.. Stacy and he
was dared to make even any ex-
cuse for some of the republican
principals, doctrines and practices,
but Mr.. Stacy, in his reply merely
went wild and said nothing, ex-
cept that he was a German and
wanted the German vote because
he STACY told them to vote that
way.
The best evidence of the utter
defeat of the Stacy party, is that
after the meeting, all parties and
people regardless of politics came
to Mr.. Casady and heartily shook
his hand and congratulated him;
but not enc even spoke to Stacy or
shook his dear old republican hand,
and he stood around and grinned
like a bound boy at a corn huskipg.

LDlIOR THE II REE IRESS,
As Mr.. G. r. G. has seen fit to
answer my article which he calls
TRADE, in your paper, l beg for
space to answer him. He re-
fuses to answer me on the most
vital questions by flinging the
bloody shirt in our faces. He
calls that campaign wind which he
knows is the facts. Every voter
that reads knew that the Flip
pinos were our allies and Mr..
Mckinley once said that terri
torial aggrandizement was crimi-
nal aggression. Admiral Dewey
said the Filippinos were as cap
able of self-government as the
Cubans. The lust Of conquest has
filed the republicans hearts
against all appeals of justice and
reason and Mr.. G.. X. G. would like
to take the blood that those brave
soldiers have shed in the interest
OF carpet baggers such as he helped
place on the South at the close of
the Civil war from off McKinley's 8
hands and place it on Mr.. Bryan's 8
hands. He talks Of patriotism.
Does he remember those brave
democrats that stood shoulder to
shoulder with him on several
bloody fields and does he remem-
ber the brave democrats that
climbed San Juan hill in a storm
of shot and shell while Teddy was
chewing grass? Does he remem-
Der brave Admiral Dewey and does
he remember the Force bill he
helped to fasten on the voters?
Does ae call that good govern
ment? Can he recall by word or
action in the last republican con-
vention the mention Of Mr.. Lin
coins name or the mention ofthe
Declaration of Independence? No,
in that meeting they forgot the
great Lincoln. 1t is wonder
that when the republicans mention
his name he doesn't turn over in
his grave in disgust, but in Mr..
Bryan stands the living embodi-
ment of all that is great, noble and
true, second Washington, and in
his defeat the last vestage of Ameri.
can liberty is liable to disappear;
but surely the people will not send
