The present commercial supremacy
OF Pueblo among the cities of South
ern Colorado and its hopefulness for
the future is . matter that the peo-
pie Of the ArkAnsas valley take juss
pride in. for indirectly the growth and
prosperity OF Pueblo rebounds to the
benefit of Florence, Canon City and
other towns within y radius of hun.
dred miles of the second city of the
state.
Pueblo is by nature destined to be-
come great manufacturing and dis
tributing point and already it ar
rogates to itself the title. ''The
Pittsburg OF the West" and, while it
may never rival its great prototype
at the hcadwaters of the Ohio river.

Shall St. Johnsbury Be a City.

A petition has been circulated to test
public sentiment on the question of
city charter for st. Johnsbury, and so
far as they have been seen the business
men and Others are practically a unit in
favor OF asking Representative Bundy to
use his efforts to obtain for St. Johns-
bury some form of a city charter which
may be submitted to the people of the
town for action according to law. There
seems to be decided feeling among busi-
ness men generally that St. Johnsbury
has outgrown her present form Of gov
ernment and either there must be some
radical changes in the present charter of
the village, or else it ought to be given
up entirely and an up to date city charter
adopted. Several Vermont towns have
adopted city form of government dur
ing the past few years and have found it
admirably suited to the wants of the
people aud it would not be surprising if
their experience would lead st. Johns
bury to see the advantages of a more
advanced form of government and
embrace them Fl. A. Farnham has had
the matter in charge and the petition has
already grown to large proportions.

Seventy Club Meeting.

The Seventy Club was entertained by
Madame Bingham at her pleasant home
on Church street, Thursday, September
rs. Twelve guests were present, two
new members being admitted that day,
Mrs. Gilbert Spencer and Mrs. Caroline
D. Higgins, who is spending some time
with her daughter, Mrs. c. H. Higgins.
The exercises were varied by the reading
of appropriate selections, one of which
was written by an aged resident of st.
Johnsbury and referred to the memorable
year 1916, called "the year without a
summer" Mrs. Frost gave some ex-
tracts from the diary of her son, Rev.
Mr.. Frost, telling of their exceedingly
stormy passage across the Atlantic in
1875. She also told OF her method OF
dealing with the custom officials. If all
travellers could do likewise it might
make the ordeal of baggage inspection
less to be dreaded.
Two tables were spread with dainty
refreshments, after partaking of which
the guests dispersed, leaving warm wishes
for the continued health and happiness
of the hostess, who had so agreeably en-
tertained them.

A Former St. Johnsbury Pastor.

Rev. A. |. Davis, who has been located
at Bath, Me-, for the past eight years,
preached bis farewell sermon at the
North street Baptist church, Sunday.
He leaves there this week tor Somers-
worth, N. H., where he has accepted a
call to the First Free Baptist church.
His first pastorate was here in st. Johns,
bury where he remained four years and
which place he left for Bath. The Bos-
ton Globe says of him in regard to his
work in Bath: During Mr.. Davis pas
torate in this city he has been very active
in reform movements, especially those
dealing with the liquor problem. He is
president of the Give league, and he has
upon several occasions sworn out war
rants upon alleged violators of the Ii
quor law. He has been one of the most
active adherents Of the prohibitory law
in the city. He is at present clerk and
treasurer of the Bowdoin conference of
Free Baptist churches and has been a
member of the executive committee for
the past seven years"

Swedish Ladies' Quintette.

The Star lecture course of St. Johns
bury following the example of the Star
course in Boston, will open it's season
with During's Swedish Ladies Quintette
of Stockholm, Sweden, assisted by
Walter David, humorist.
This Incompatible organization comes
to this country with reputation that
extends all over Europe. 1t is without
question the finest vocal quintette in ex-
istence. The director, Edward During, a
noted musician, has spent years in
bringing this quintette to perfection.
When the leading European journals
unite in giving them the highest possible
praise and the London Era states that
"such absolutely perfect part singing by
female voices has never been heard, it is
evident that the American tour of these
ladies will be of exceptional interest.
They sing in English, German and Swed-
ish, and appear in national costumes.
Walter David has been here before
and will be most pleasantly remembered.
The date Of this concert is Friday even
ing, October 17th.

Cleanliness is next to goodness,
Dirt and depravity go hand in hand. This
is just as true of the inside of the body
as the outside. Contipation clogs the
body and clouds the mind Constipation
means that corruption is breeding in the
body, poisoning the blood with its foul
emanations, befogging the brain with its
tainted exhalations. Contripation is the
beginning of more diseases than, perhaps,
any other single disorder. The consequent
ces of constipation are legion. Headache,
pain in the side, shortness of breath, I'M
due fullness after eating, GOODNESS of the
extremities, nervousness, indecision, lassi-
tude, dizziness, sallowness, fiatulence,
and score of other ailments are directly
caused by constipation. Cure constipa-
ton and you cure its consequences. The
quickest cure of this evil is obtained by
the use of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
They are small in size but wonderful in
result. They cure permanently. They
contain no injurious ingredients. The
use of them does not beget the pill habit
