While in the office of J. n. & P. L.
Webster last week we were shown a
photograph of a remarkable family, that
of Asa Hancock of Coventry. The group
was made up of Mr.. and Mrs. Hancock,
both apparently in the prime Of life and
seemingly able to battle with the adversi
ties of life for many years yet, and twelve
bright and Intelligent looking children,
four girls and eight boys. The age of the
youngest is six and that of the Oldest
twenty-six years. Although two of the
girl, they all continue to make their home
with their parents and happy family it
should be. A picture of the family ap-
peared in a recent issue of the NelU Eng
land Homestead.

On the first page of this paper we give
the republican nominations for the vari-
Gus offices which we have not run each
week since the nominations were made
because of lack of space. 1t is very essen
out Sept. 18th, and that each one should
cast vote for governor. large repubi-
can majority in Vermont will be a grand
thing for the party throughout the coun-
try. Not only loyalty to the party but
loyalty and pride in the town should bring
out our voters. The representation OF the
towns at the state and district conven-
tons is based on the republican vote cast
for governor; four years ago this town
cast the largest republic vote of any
town in the county and consequently has
had the largest number of delegates to the
conventions of any town in the county
and has been exceeded by but thirteen
towns in the state. If we cast a smaller
vote this year sand thereby drop one or
more of our delegates we shall lose our
prestige and give to others an impression
that our town is going back instead of
advancing. Do not feel that because the
town is sure to go republican your vote is
not needed. Come out, show your conf
dence in the administration and maintain
the standing of your town.
