Fine Official.

Hon. S. North, who has served
five terms as Mayor Of this city
will tender his resignation at
the next meeting of the council,
Oct. 4th. 1t is doubtful if there
is a town in the state that has
been blessed with such a chief
officer as he. He took pride in
his home town and devoted his
time, money anl energy to its
upbuilding. When other Mayors
would be taking their ease and
craking jokes he was working
for the interests Of the city and
the public. He did his duty to
the fullest, as be saw it. Most
of the growth and improvements
OF the city has been under his
various administrations and he
has been ably seconded by the
council. The citizens will regret
the moving of him and wife to
their farm near Perry. They
will always meet with hearty
reception when they returr
here for a visit.

The Citizens Telephone and Telegraph
Exchange have issued a card giving the
list of subscribers to the exchange up to
date, and the system is now well estab-
lished. The number of phones in opera
ton in the villages where the lines of the
company extend are as follows; st
Tohnsbury, 2O3; Lyndonyile, 46, now
in use and % others to be put in at once.
The central office is at Dwinells drug
store. At West Burke Is instruments,
with central at Moves drug store; East
Burke and East Haven, AZ instruments,
with central at c. f. Harris and Co. s
store. The Barton circuit has 60 instru'
ments, central at Sewers hardware
stole, making total OF nearly 375. The
exchange is connected with the Vermont
Peoples Telephone Co., which covers
Orleans county, outside of Barton, the
Mcclure lines in Lamoile county and
the Peoples Telephone Co. in Canada.
The latter line takes in Sherbrooke and
vicinity and extends to Megantic and
Lowelltown, Me. In the spring it is
planned to extend the Citizens line to
West Concord, Hardwick and Wells
River, which will add to the exchange
several important towns and make addi-
tionaI connections with other lines. The
system works to perfection, one test
which is applied to demonstrate this is
making a connection with a house in
Lyndon, in which the tick of common
clock on the opposite side of the room
can be distinctly heard. The privilege
of the entire exchange is free to subscrib-
ers which reduces the expense of tee-
phoning in the territory covered by the
company almost to a minimum. The
central office in this place is i'll the Ave.
nue. House building. Miss Lucy French
and Miss Almira Goss preside at the
switchboard

Col. Woodruff on "Embalmed Beef"

The many Caledonia county and st.
Johnsbury friends of Col. Charles A.
Woodruff, now chief of the commissary
department in the Philippines, will be in
terested in his comments on supplying
the army in the Orient.
According to Col. Woodruff, refrigera-
ted or "embalmed" beef is what anyone
wants now, and when they cannot get
that, the much abused canned roast beef
is in great demand-so much so, that it
keeps the subsistence department busy
supplying the demand, says the Manila
Times.
THE food.supplying problem that con-
fronted the government in the Orient
last tall, said the colonel, was one of
| the greatest that was ever successfully
solved. Manila was the depot for the
| Philippines; the bases were at New York
and San Francisco, 10000 and 1000
miles away, respectively. Seventy thou
sand troops were to be supplied and their
front extended from Borneo to the Great
Wall of China, nearly two thousand
miles, and they occupied more than 400
stations.
lot those in China suffice it to say
that the abundance and quality of their
supplies excited the wonder and admira'
ton OF the armies OF the entire world
The troops in the Philippines, except ii
a few isolated cases, due to the rapidity
of their marching, to typhoons that pre-
vented the landing of stores, or lack o
transportation, have been most abun
dainty supplied with all staple and fancy

A New Proposition.

The Stiles Drug Co., is this week dis
tributing from its book department "a
Proposition to Book Readers" in the
form of folder announcing a plan by
which the latest books can be read for
very slight cost. The proposition is that
you call at the store and get any one OF
the regular $3.50 books for which they
ask only $1.25, and get card emitting
you to exchange for any other $1'5O
book as often as you wish for one
month. This card can be extended tor
only 25 cents a month, thus it will be
seen they agree to give you, all the late
books you wish to read at the rate OF
only $500 year. You do not put your
self under any obligations at all as you
own the book you have and never need
return it unless you want to. After
reading reviews of the new books
they will procure all that show any
signs of being popular, then it will
remain with the members to decide
whether they want any more or not and
if so they will furnish enough to supply,
the demand. All this means lot OF
work and expense and cannot be done
unless there are at least 200 members.
There are many advantages to such an
arrangement: You do not have to wait
for some one else to finish book before
you can have it, you do not have to
keep book any length OF time if you do
not like it; you get them while they, are
new and people are talking about them
and you are not dependent upon the
taste of committee. You can do with
the book as you choose, even to glvinglt
away. For to renew your membership
all you have to to do is to buy new
book with which you will be given a
new card good for one month. Thus 1t
will be seen that members can practically
buy ST. so books for only $1.O0 II they
do not care for over one month, as the
exchange privilege is certainly worth 70
cents a month.
The people of the town are fortunate
in having the benefit of such a liberal
offer and we bespeak for its promoter
large patronage.

Dear Sir: You buy your horseshoes
and nails; your grandfather, If he
was a blacksmith, made 'em. You can,
afford to hammer them out by hand,
when you can buy as good or better
perhaps, ready made to your hand, for
little more than the cost Of the iron.
What do you think OF a painter who
goes on buving his linseed oil and white
lead, and mixing, and tinting by hand,
and charging his time for work that is
far better. done than he can do 1t, done
by machinery, done as your horseshoes
and nails are made.
Mistake isn't it
He is wasting his chance in the world.
There is no better stuff to do business
with than good horseshoes and paint !;
and no better work than putting them
on. Good horseshoes we'll put on: It's
the putting EN- on that makes you
blacksmith: no matter who makes EN-.
Who wants to go back to old times,
and make his own horseshoes?
Between us two, that painter don't
know how to make good paint-h he used
to but paint has run away from him.
Yours truly
F. w. DEvoE & 60.
P.S. Flint Bros. sell our paint in your
section.
