Silver Lake, Barnard.

Samuel p. Adams, a fe-long residen
of Barnard counting more than four scori
years, died Sunday, the Sth, from the ef
fects OF shock OF paralysis. Mr.. Adam
once owned quite good farm clear o
debt, but losing his hCuse by fire and at
tempting to build another without in
surance, together with sickness and ole
age, the property leaked away, leaving
him peDniless so that the last few years
he made his home at the town farm. he
was a quiet, inoffensive man having few
il any enemies. Funeral Tuesday and
burial at Central cemetery.
Rev. NJ. II. Smith preached his farewell
sermon Sunday before going to the an
nual conference. Allho' the roads were
bad, neither sleighing nor wheeling, fair
congregation turned out to see their pas
tor off. Wilson Cotton bright, hand
some lad OF 10, was baptized and taken in
to the church with full communion. The
Coltons are newcomers at the North End,
buying the noted Tbayer farm of Nj. H..
Durkee. Rev. Mr.. smith has made many
friends both here and at East Barnard,
who would be glad to see him return an
OF her year, but il the powers that be
should make a change we congratulate
his next parish.
ADMIRAL DEWEY.
Vermont at a bound reached the PIN
/
place of Admiral George Dewey. Here on
| this high pedestal, resting amid the halo
| of glory, he became the envy and emu
latIon Of the combined world.
Just now within week the grand old
state is INDUCING in an ice-Cold shower
| bath which has cooled the boiling vein OF
egotistical conceit 30 great extent.
Uncle George has recently discovered
that he is a Democrat, but what kind,
color or size we must wait for Mugwumps,
Tammany or his better half to determine.
At any rate he has decided to take tie |
presidency.
Barnard with its three and four-foot |
banks OF snow suffers no excitement. Our
Democrats will vote for VIM. j. Bryan and |
Republicans for VIM. Mckinley. As goes |
Barnard, so goes the state. However, |
wonders never cease and the unexpected |
often happens Still we think When sturdy /
old Vermont casts her electoral vote for
Democratic president Of sore head nomi-
nation, EVENT. native SON, the sun will
rise In the west.
THE PACING HORSE.
We notice on the street b. c. Hathorn
driving two -year.old Bradlaugh pacing
colt. This youngster was bred by the late |
Geo. W. Gerry, Pomiret, and was out OF
Flora, once owned by h. {. johnson OF {
Woodstock She was called one OF the
y
a few could lead her down the road.
None can deny the pacer's popularity as I
he stands in the horse markets OF today. I
Not only on his side of the ocean, but by {
sheer merit they are creeping to the front t
In foreign countries.
Walter Winans Of Brighton, England,
Who has for some years imported trotters
rom the states, ignoring PAGERS, has now
yet the pattern for others, in buying from [
Buffalo the pacing double team Merry {
Chimes and Passing Belle, both with (
eCords OF 2:0s IL, paying 5000. These G
lorses have in prospect the double team 4
ecord and will without doubt establish ii
or England, but so many new ones com
ne on in this country, two minutes
will have to be beaten TO hold the worlds
ecord.
The fast pacing mare Minnie Thornton
old by Lamp Wilson OF Kentucky for
z 500 shows that speedy PAGER is what
he market calls for. Many prophetic
lorsemeD, who are looking continually
or the future, predict the time near at v
land when a two or three year -old PAGER
will bring more money, cash in hand, \
han any other horse. Already the
country is secured from north to south @
or this same class OF goods and it be-
looVes every farmer who raises colts to
rain the PAGERS in their two year old Il
orm. There will be no trouble at all in
cling for good profit II they show 6

Nearly every city OF any note in the .
tates either has, or will have soon, a \
peedway for fast driving, and the popu- ~
lrity OF the light harness horse and APP
recitation Of these drivers has increased a
more than 90 per cent within the last v
ear, with the tendency still rising at a
apd rate. c
Very many cities have now organized b
Road Drivers associations that will hold
matinee racing every week, with rules and
equations OF their own having, in the
main an object for the improvement OF
reeds and speed Of horses. These clubs
AVE hundreds OF members, who all want I,
o be in front at the finish and as PAGERS q
generally get there first, the demand for V
ide wheelers will not fall off in years to I

No better time to breed than the pres a
mt, as but very few farm products have b
increased in price like horses. el
Horsemen, who attended the great sale d
n Cam bridge City, IND, last month, say ID
Without hesitation that never before 81
ave they known the same class OF horses 81
o bring as much money as at this auction r,
ale and are firm in the belief that one n
ear ago they would not have brought Il
slf the amount. Over 400 sold in five IL
avs for SS5, 600. They were old and young, A
ounS and unsound, still they brought on Z
n average S225.
