An Address
On PeaChIand
*%%%

The following is clipped from the
Wadesboro Messenger and Intelligent
ger, and is an address delivered be-
fore the Peachland Improvement AS
ISOLATION at recent meeting.
NV theme is Peachland, beloved
Peachland! Around this name
cluster sweet, sacred and lively
memories; yet we dare not boast
of what she has been or of what she
is, for that might SAVIOR of immo-
desty. Moreover, this ir no time for
Boosting, but straight ahead and to
the front is our watchword. Towns,
like individuals, have character;
they are judged by that character.
Behold Peachland! look at her! and
judge for yourselves. In deeds,
for more than in words, she is
writing her history upon the rock
of time, where all men may behold
it, and where the hand of eternal
ages can never eface it. Towns,
like cities, States and nations, live
for centuries. They rise slowly; like
the sun, they ascend to their
high noon. Then they descend,
leaving behind them long train
of light and glory, if their course
has been beneficent, and for the
good of northumberland has not
yet reached the height of her pros
perity. She has not yet attained
the pinnacle Of her greatness; nor
can she until she is more densely
populated with people Of polish,
purse and push; until her name is
on every tongue, from the blue
mountains of the west to the waves
that beat against the eastern shore;
until our little ones can drink deep
or from the fountains of knowledge
and, with their hands uplifted in
holy pride, can say Peachland is
indeed my mother; until the mo-
notonous clang Of the anvil gives
place to the hum of the stately |
foundry, and until the drowsy hum
of the Lanesboro mill is drowned
by the music of the lapper, the
buzz of the card, the hum Of the
spindle and the click Of the loom.
And then, added to all this with a
free gospel that priceless boon of a
religious liberty, with poud acad.
envy and imposing church, stand
inc as silent tellers of the not to be
despised face that this people is
both a literary and Godserving
people, with honesty, temperance,
industry and integrity characterize
ing the great body Of her inhabit-
ants. Peachland, with her proud

Fire Loss of $1,000.

The expected happened about II
O'Clock Thursday night, when an alarm
of fire was rung in from box 36, near
the bridge; at least people were not
surprised as it was the night before
the Fourth. The fire was in E. B.
Barrows's coal sheds, ON the east side
of the Central Vermont freight yard,
and caused loss of about $1,000, cov-
cred by insurance. In very short
time after the first stroke Of the alarm
the chemical engine and hose wagon,
steamer No. 4, and hose carts 3, and
15 were under headway. The chemi-
cal wagon coupled its hose to the
hydrant at the corner of Guellow's
barber shop on Canal street and strung
line of hose as far as the freight
house. Hose cart No. pieced out the
rest of the distance. Steamer No. 4
was stationed near the Brattleboro
House and took water from the brook.
The hose on hose cart No. / S was laid
as far as it would go, and the rest of
the distance was covered by hose cart
No. 3. 1t was but a few minutes be-
fore two streams were being thrown,
but by that time the dry framework
of the coal sheds had been destroyed.
Two freight cars which stood near
caught fire and were hauled out of
the way of the firemen by the yard
switching engine. One car, owned by
the Boston & Maine railroad, con-
tanned % cases of womens and chill
dren's shoes, consigned to Dunham
Brothers. The shoes and the car,
with the exception of the running
gear, were destroyed. The other car
was owned by the Delaware & Hud-
son company and was badly damaged,
one side being burned off. In one end
of the coal sheds was a new set of
scales which cost 5000 They were
badly damaged, but not destroyed. In
one bin were 25 tons of stove coal, in
another 15 tons of camel coal, such as
is used in the fire steamers, and in
another about 100 bushels of charcoal.
The loss on the shoes was about 5000,
on the coal, scales and shed about
$4OO, and on the cars about 5000

FOURTH OF JULY FRANKS.
Story Of Daring Hold-Up on the
Island Probably a Painted Scene in
the Brain,

Story of Daring Hold-Up on the
Island Probably a Painted Scene in
the Brain.
The glorious Fourth" in Brattleboro
was accompanied by somewhat less
noise than usual, although there was
little sleep after midnight for those
living near Main street. Twelve
policemen we're on duty, but despite
their watchfulness some of the "big''
boys succeeded in carrying out a few
mischievous plans. A large bonfire
was started near the junction of Main
and Elliot streets and in due time a
two-wheeled gig taken from DR..
Lynchs premises was seen cracking
in the flames. The guilty ones will
pay the damage. A streak of light
which passed down Main street
proved to be a fire in a box of shaw
ings on blackboard owned by Carl
Henkle. Policeman Worden tipped
the box over in time to save the ve-
hicle. Break of day found the
cannon near the soldiers monument
on the common tipped over, and sew
eral cannon balls were located in the
Retreat garden at the foot of the bank
on the north side of the common.
A few door-steps we're loosed from
their moorings, but in this respect less
damage was done than in previous
years. story of a daring hold-up
on the Connecticut river bridge was
widely circulated during the day,
Cornelius Kennedy, who is employed
by the Central Vermont Railroad COM
pany, claiming that he was held up
and that acid was thrown in his face.
His face and hands were burned and
blistered, but the physician who at
tended him says the burns were
caused by flames rather than by an
acid. The rest of the story is
mystery Kennedy's burns will not
injure him permanently.

There was a good attendance. The

battery for the winners consisted of
Harold Rogers and Percy Crowell,
pitchers, Ernest Harris, catcher, while
Warren Head tossed the ball for the
benedicts and was supported by e. V.

Col. II. e. Taylor acted magnanim-
senatorial honors in the county con-
vention. Support came to him with
out solicitation which assured his nom
ination, but believing that the inter
ests of Brattleboro would be best con
served by having the nomination go to
Wilmington Col. Taylor refused to
have his name presented, although
some of his friends protested strongly
and were offended at his unequivocal
stand. 1t was the kind of action which
is seen too rarely in politics and it will
not be forgotten.

The Wilmington Times reference to
the Clement following at the Montpe-
lier convention as being made up large
ly of the "rowdy element" shows rare
discrimination and judgment. The
"Rowdies" from Brattleboro, for in
stance, included an ex-deacon of the
Congregational church, ex-principal of
High school, manager of one of the
leading financial institutions of the
state, chairman of the board of bailiffs,
three prominent business men, and
two men who within short time have
retired from important business en-
terprises. The Phoenix was a long
way from being a supporter of Mr.. Gle
ment, but it considers the Brattleboro
delegation which went to Montpelier
a highly creditable and representative
lot of men.

The publisher Of the Wilmington
Times acknowledges that he was the
author of the Mccullough circular is
sued the day the caucus was held in
that town to elect delegates to the
state convention, and asks, What
was wrong about the circular and
where did the trick come in?" There
are none so blind as those who will
not see and if the aforesaid publisher
is proud of his work and his con-
science gives it approval there is little
use to argue with him. But there
are those who disagree with him and
some of them are in Wilmington.

1t is all right to talk about Clement
as bolter, but what is the appellation
to be applied to the Orange and Gale
donia county conventions, which re-
pudiated the plank in the platform of

license and local option question? 1t
will be a mistake for county conven-
tions or individuals to attempt to de-
feat the purpose of bringing this ques-
ton before the people.

Col. Webb Supports Gen. MecuIIouqh

Col. w. S. Webb of Shelburne, on being
interviewed In regard to a report that he
would support Mr.. Clement as an inde-
pendent candidate for governor, said:
while Mr.. Clement is an old personal
friend of mine and 1 would like to support
him in this instance, cannot do so under
the circumstances, and have so told him.
When Gen. Mccullough received and ac-
cepted the nomination of the Republican
state convention at Montpelier he became
entitled to the support of every true
Republican in this state. Gen McCul-
Tough is the nominee of our party and he
has, and will continue to have to the
end of the campaign, my cordial support,
and so far as / can properly influence
them, that of my friends throughout the
state"

The internal revenue officers expect
a good deal of trouble in trying to
enforce the oleomargarine law. One
manufacturer proposes to send out
with large packages of oleomargarine
coloring matter so that the restaurant
keeper or landlord can color his butter
to suit any taste. The Armour com
pany has notified the commissioner
of internal revenue that it proposes
to follow this plan, and claims that
the law does not forbid it's practice.
Another manufacturer has written the
commissioner to say that he should
like to use palm oil, which is cheaper
than Gotten seed oil, but which will
give a beautiful yellow color to oleo-
margarine. The commissioner saws
that the law, as he views it, does not
prevent the use of an ingredient like
palm oil, which is naturally of the
color of butter, and which is not put
in solely for the purpose of imparting
the color
