OFFICERS ELECTED

MEETING YESTERDAY
SILK CULTURE IN GEORGIA.

Wher the Coiony OF Georgia was
nrst founded, it was intended to make
it a great silk-producing country; bu1
when the cotton gin was invented, the
tleecy staple came prominently to the
front and King Cotton, mounting his
throne for long time ruled Georgia
with despotic sway, suppIanting all
other industries. But the time has
como for the old king to take lower
place and share with other industries
in promoting the strength and great
ness of our noble commonwealth.
Efforts are being made to arouse
once more an interest among the peo-
pie Of Georgia in silk culture. North
Carolina has of late years made some
progress on this line. Thinking that
there is something of promise to Geor-
gia in the silk industry. We publish
the following correspondence:

MORNING FIRE.

The large stock and hay barn on the
Denny farm, two miles from the city
was destroyed by fire about five O'Clock
Tuesday and six or seven COWS
perished in the flames. The fire was
caused by the upsetting of lantern
which scattered oil over the hay,
from the top of the bay to the floor
and igniting it. The fire spread
rapidly and in a short time the en-
tire bui ding was mass of flames
Forty-fve COWS were in the upper and
lower stables and all were unfastened
but those nearest the fire could not be
driven from the barn. Over 100 tons
of hay and grain, some small hand
tools and milk separator were burned.
Nothing could be done toward check
ing the flames but the neighbors did
some hard work in saving the other
farm buildings. Insurance to the
amount of $1,000 on the barn, 5000 on
the produce, $25 each on the cows was
carried in the Union Mutual and the
tools were also covered by insurance

REMOVING THE CAPITOL.

The Bradford Opinion has delight
fully humorous article ON the bill to
remove the Capitol to Burlington
which, minus some local illusions, is
here given in full.
"The member from Fairlee was
made the Orange county member Of
the committee, on the question of re-
moving the State House to Burling
ton. Mr.. Heath was settled enough
in his own convictions that the State
House should not be trundled off up
to the windy city by the lake, but
thought it safe to call a meeting of
the members of the House and Senate
from Orange county to see what they
thought about it. The meeting was
called in the large room adjacent to
the Governors chamber, and just in
front of the great oil painting of
Cedar Greek. " The question of re-
moval was long and earnestly dis
cussed by every member and not
single vote was given for Burlington,
although Senator Sutton as the official
representative of the Queen City ap-
peared before the members and point
ed out that his home city was the per-
manent retreat of Our CLANCY, Max
Powell, and the Pecks. that bass ale
at the Van Ness would appear on the
official program, and no libel suits
obtain. Senator Sutton also pointed
out to the committee that Burlington
had eligible candidates for every
elective and appointive Office at the
disposal of joint assembly, Governor,
and sergeant-at-arms thereby saving
the State an enormous sum i'll mile
ages, and as clincher Senator Sutton
III great confidence told the committee
that when Chauncy's splitting bill
passed at third reading the very last
argument against Burlington as a
State capital would be removed. Gen
eral Theodore S. Peck appeared and
promised that if the bill of removal
reached third reading that Chair
man Heath and the member from
Newbury should each have life
sized oil portrait unveiled the first
session at the Van Ness. AT this
juncture Senator Wilcox rose up mad
as halter and inquired of General
Peck why he could not have an oil
portrait unveiled as well as Heath or
Bailey, declaring in the same breath
that he was better looking and better
| feeling than either. The member from
| Newbury. who prides himself on his
own fastidiousness, resented this base
insinuation on the part of Senator
Wilcox and with much vehemence
moved an informal ballot on the re-
moval question. Chairman Heath di-
rected each member to write on his
ballot the answer to this question,
Where would you locate the State
House?' When the ballot was sorted
and counted the result was as follows
One vote each for Mt Pulaski, Cal
cutta, Morey Lake, Meeting House
Hill, Stratford North Village, World''
Fair Ground. Tunbridge, Orange
Heights. Thetford Hill and Coos,
Green had two votes each. The bal
ance of the votes were scattering
Chelsea, Randolph, Braihtree, vii
liamstown, West Fairlee and Vershir,
receiving honorable mention.
According to the story, the meeting
then drifted into hot discussion o
Orange county matters, and whel
Chairman Heath saw the Capitol slip
ping away from Morey Lake he ad
journed the meeting with bang.

Barre football enthusiasts came to
this city i'll great numbers on Satur-
day afternoon, confidently expecting
to see the hitherto invincible Defend
ers scatter the Seminary gridiron with
the remains of vanquished Dartmouth
men, but the result was far otherwise
and they went home vainly trying to
explain how it happened. 1t was It
great game of football, but from the
beginning it was plain that the col
lege men outclassed the Defenders at
every point The first half was sim
ply an exhibition of rushes and end
plays by the Dartmouth's S that carried
them back and forth over the gridiron
for four touchdowns. The Barre line
was fairly efficient on the defensive,
but their offensive play was weak and
they bucked the Dartmouth line again
and again, but always unsuccessfully.
In the second half Dartmouth made
one touchdown and fairly loafed the
remainder of the time. Eps' $50 9t

LOOKING BACKWARD.

Fifty years ago articles of useful
ness were few and clumsy compared
with those of the present day. For in
stance such articles as the Fountain
Syringe, the Hot Water Bottle. the
Ice Bag, the Sick Feeder, Rubber
Sheeting, Chemical Thermometer, and
scores of other sick room articles,
which are looked upon today as indis-
pensable to our forefathers and moth
ers, were unknown. Note the great
strides in science that a short term of
years of study will accomplish The
greatest problem of today is where to
buy them that arc reliable. At Poole's
Pharmacy all of these goods are guar
anteed reliable or the money back.

REASONS FOR INSURANCE.

Expenses eat up wages and sal

wife and children. Life Insur-

THE WATER QUESTION.

Editor Daily Journal Il wish to
state through your columns how the
bill presented to the Legislature by
the city of Barre appears to one out
side of the city, asking, as it does,
to take all the water in Orange,
Washington, Williamstown and Barre
town. 1t looks unreasonable that the
city of Barre should have a right to
take all the water and so prevent any
manufacturing business being estab-
lished in any of these towns, in the
future. The city has a right to take
all the water it can buy and pay for,
under the charter now held, but yet it
wants right to take all the water
regardless of the damage to the gener-
al public; furthermore, it wants eX-
emption from taxation, thereby pre-.
venting any benefit to any of the
towns in which the city reservoirs
may be located.
If that bill should pass, as now be-
fore the Legislature, i'll two years a
bill would probably be presented ask
ing that the towns aforesaid should
furnish the city of Barre fuel free of
charge and exempt from taxation AL
ready the steam boilers in the city re-
quire something like twelve thousand
gallons an hour and more water is
used, | believe, for mechanical pur-
poses than for domestic uses. Another
bill should be passed by the Legisla-
ture giving the said towns right to
use the Barre opera house at any and
all times, regardless of the city; also,
a right to hitch horses in any of the
Barre city parks when any of the peo
pie from these ns.should wish to dc
so, free of all charge, instead of being
obliged to drive into that slough bacl
of the city.
