LETTER TO NOLAND BROS.
MIDDLEBURY, VT.

Dear Sirs: There is going to be, from
now on, in Middlebury a good deal of
painting done, that will last in good con-
dition from three years up-lO years is
common; we know of II good in 10 and
we know no limit-lt seems to be likely
to last as long as the house lasts, in
favorable conditions.
The painter that uses this paint will
get all the business he can do.
Devoe lead and zinc is the paint. 1t
looks as good as any; costs no more !;
and is ready-no tinting or mixing to do.
The zinc is ground in with the lead by
machinery-you can't do that.
Test 1t yourself, if you like; but
there's plenty of evidence for it. We take
the risk of how it turns out-there is no
risk.
Do you want this work?
Yours truly,
10 +. w. DEyOE Il Co.

THE VILLAGE MEETING.

The village meeting in regard to the
new system of water works held in
the town hall on Monday evening, was
fully attended and substantially harmo-
NOUS in its action.
The report of the committee of nine,
appointed last fail, in favor of Little
Notch, Bristol, for source of supply, was
adopted, and the committee, whose action
thus far has been excellent and satisfac
tory, continued in office, and empowered
to construct the water works, including
reservoir on Chipman's Hill, with
capacity of 900, 900 gallons, aud to pay
for same through order drawn by village
trustees.
The village treasurer was authorized
to borrow an amount not TO exceed
$50 600, on four per cent bonds, payable
in not less than 20 nor more than 10 years,
to defray the expense of these works. 1t
is hoped and claimed that, at the outside,
not more than $40, 600 will be necessary,
but the feeling is strong that every part
of the undertaking should be well and
thoroughly done, so as not to have to be
done twice.
"A work well begun Is half done"
And as our committee are all painstaking
and capable men, there is every reason to
hope that in due time the whole project
will be well and economically complet-
ed.
Probably no single feature is of more
Importance than the reservoir on Chip
man Hill. We unders tand the committee
think, and indeed the feeling is very
general, that this should be a substantial
structure of stone, built in such manner
that it cannot ever possibly give way.
The stone does not need to be cut, not
any of it, and therefore this reservoir
need not be very expensive. 1t is thought
that it can be thoroughly built for So, 900,
but should it cost $4,000 taxpayers will
not grumble.
The citizens of Mddebury are to be
congratulated upon the success of the
enterprise thus far, and We may all hope
to see the project completed in as salts
factory manner as 1t has been begun.

CALL A NEW PASTOR.
The Congregational Society Extends Call
to Rev. Thomas Simms.

The Congregational Society Extends Call
to Rev. Thomas Simms.
At largely attended meeting of the
Congregational church society, held
Tuesday, the committee UNANIMOUSLY
and heartily recommended Rev. Thomas
Simms, VINO has been acting pastor of
the church for the past six weeks, saying
that both he and Mrs. Simms were highly
endorsed. A rising vote was taken and
every church member present voted to
extend the call to Mr. Smms. The
ecclesiastical society held its meeting
Immediately followir z and the members
also agreed to the action taken by the
church, fixing the salary at $500 and
parsonage, granting vacation of four
weeks during the year, and pay ing the
expense of moving to this place.
People about town and members of
other churches have had ample oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with Mr.
Simms and to note the effect of his
preaching. lie has made a most favor
able impression during his stay here.
His preaching is forceful ard at al times
interesting, and carries ideas of the
Christ life and its relation TO humanity
that men can live by, and would not fear
to die by. He writes his sermons but
speaks without notes.
Mr. Simms has been in the ministry
for - years, six of which were spent in
Norwich, Conn. In South Manchester,
Conn, his pastOrate was notably sue
cc,sful one. He received l34 persons
into the church, the membership increas
ing from less than 200 to $50. The Sun
day school grew from $50 to 2l0 mem.
bers. The current expenses of the church
averaged $1,000 above that for the nine
years preceding. There wasa marked
Increase in benevolences. A'parsonage
costing $500 was built and the church
improved at an expense exceeding $1,000.
Mr.. Simms was specialely successful
as pastor and in interesting young
people.
His childhood was spent in New York
city, to which he came MS an infant from
England. lie was prepared for college
at Hackettstown, y. j., and graduated
from Wesleyan University, Middletown,
Conn.,, in the class of SO. While in col
lege he was junior eX., commencement
and class day speaker; also editor-in-
chief of the college paper. He took his
theological studies in the Methodist
church.
Mr.. Simms family consists of his wife
and four children, two girls and two
boys, with ages ranging from to 10
years. Mr.. Simms says that he has been
favorably impressed with the many
privileges which the town affords for the
education of his children, the cordially
with which the people here received him
and the large opportunity for usefulness
which the position he is called upon to
occupy affords. He has the question of
acceptance under careful consideration.

Reports from credltable sources in
China say that famine has stricken a
number of interior provinces of the en-
pire, and is the worst experienced in the
history of the country. Ii Hung Chang
is quoted as admitting the fact to Minis
ter Conger. Now will the European
nations that have been looting China the
past twelvemOnth vie with each other
in collecting and forwarding food to the
starving: If not, why not: The whole
civilized world has aided famine stricken
India, thereby assisting her proper pro-
tector and provider to divert millions OF
pounds sterling to the wrestling of liberty
and Independence from two little South
African republics. Is the spectacle of a
starving Chinaman made pleasant by the
recollection that they were men of his
race who recently committed atrocities
upon Christian missionaries? 1t is to be
feared that this is the explanation. The
old Mosaic law, rather than its gentle
substitute in the Sermon on the Mount,
is too often invoked by self styled Chris
tian nations when their opponents chance
TO be weaker or less warlike.
