OF course, caterers and epicures always
prefer fancy brands The Virginia ovs-

People Who Wait for Frost.
There are many people who do not
eat oysters until the first frost has set
in. which, in my opinion, is very good
reasoning. Now, the oysters feed on all

Before sunrise could be heard the sharp
ping Of the guns and the little brown
birds, which two months ago were filing

falling in scores before the swift-aying
shot.
There were big focks OF the birds and

First Time Today.
Glasses and Masses Alike Friendly to
Him-Afiliates Equally Well With
Champagne and Beer-Promise of
Good Season, Say the Dealers

There was today unusual activity IN
the various oyster depots and oyster
restaurants throughout the city. owing
to the festive entrance Of the oyster
into the world OF menus, bill of fares.
aud other programs.
The oyster Is a distinctive American
delicacy. II might almost be called the
national biraIve The American pro-
duet bears the palm over all others and
is exported 10 all countries on the globe
Il is as typically American as pork and
beans is typically Bostonese. Nearly
everybody in this country eats oysters.
In foreign countries it is the rare privl-
Iege OF those only who are better situat-
ed in worldly goods.
II is a cheap and wholesome food
here and is prepared IN a dozen different
ways. An oyster feast goes well with
champagne and it goes we'll with beer
OF water; It goes well under any and all
circumstances The oyster is decidedly
democratic. mingllng as IT does with all
classes and being a great favorite with
the masses.
Promise OF Fine Season.
The season Is very promising. accord
ing to the wholesale dealers. Samples
from the various bays from which the
carly crop viii be gathered and reports
Of the cuItivators Indicate that the
crop will be OF good quality and the
quantity Will be substantially the same
as in other years. There Is never any
appreciable change In the general CON
ditions Of the oyster industry. dealers
say. There may be a year when the
rlIysicaI condition Of the oyster is some
Eaat less satisfactory than normally.
but the bivalve usually recuperates
easily. and with proper care the beds
viii produce well. The prices of the
bivalye have not varied greatly in years
The enemies Of the oyster are nuner-
GUS The stardsh, the mussel. the drum
fish, the periwinkIe, and the drlH con
stantly menace the beds, and great care
and considerable expense is taken TO get
rid Of these destructive species. Also.
as much care is taken in wedding the
plot as is taken in keeping weeds out Of
the land garden.
The peoples Of foreign countries have
found the American oysters larger. and
more luscious than those raised Ia Eu-
ropean waters, and also devoid OF that
coppery taste so characteristic of The BIZ

Young Baby Found in Streets.

-" AS DR.. Ellie was driving along the
Causeway In Newport, last Friday eve-
ming, he espied small bundle close to
the side of the road. Reaching it he
fancied the bundle gave forth slight
sound. This led him to examine it,
when, to his establishment, he found it
contained live girl baby less than four
days old. The cloth that composed the
bundle was of fairly good quality, show
ing that the mother of the child might
have been in comfortable circumstances.
Who left the infant In the road is a
mystery. Whether someone from a
passing train, or from a team driving
into town, or from some nearby inhabit-
ant is matter of doubt. The doctor
took the infant to his house, and had it
properly dressed, and Sunday it was
christened in the Catholic Church Elk

Jams, on Tuesday evening The reader
gave GAS You Like It., which is one of
Shakespeare's finest plays, full of pathos
and literary merit, and Miss Williams

semble, the reader is as near perfect as
seems possible, her efforts having a flow
of rythm that relieves the difficult role
of the reader of monotone and tedious
ness. The sum realized by the society
was quite encouraging.

vertisements printed in your columns

ment does not cure catarrh. / wish you
would please print this letter in as con-
spicuous place as possible in your
paper, saying that | absolutely agree to
refund the money to any purchaser of
a Hyomei outfit, if it does not cure
catarrh.
This outfit consists of an inhaler of
a convenient size to be carried in the

Hyomei air four or five times daily.
and a bottle of HyOmei. The outfit sells
for 81 90 and is a most economical treat

there is enough Hyomei for more than
a months use, while extra bottles can be
obtained for 80 cents.

any doubts that may have arisen as to
my willingness to refund the money for
a Hyomei outfit, in case the purchaser is
not satisfied.
| wish to say emphatically that my
guarantee on Hyomei holds good, and
will refund the money to any dissatisfied
purchaser who simply states that he has

tions and not been helped.

The Milwaukee Sentinel publishes a
photograph of Mrs. Della Wainwright,
and four generations of her descendants.
Mrs. Wainwright lives in Watertown,
Wis. The correspondent of the Sentinel,
writing from Watertown says:
Mrs. Wainwright was ninty-nine years
old September last She was born at
Middlebury, VT, and at the death of her
husband came to Watertown to reside in
1852, with her daughter, the late Mrs.
Emily Sprague. She has one son living,
George Wainwright, of Bismark, n. ID.
six grandchildren. one of whom is Mrs.
j. II. Ball of 422 Eighteenth street,
Milwaukee; and four great. great-grand
children. She reads the newspapers
daily and is in excellent health and her
one desire is that she may live until she
passes the century mark.
Mrs. Wainwright. appears younger
than some persons of seventy and eighty
years. She is a pleasant companion and
her visits among her neighbors and
friends are always appreciated. She
frequently walks to distant parts of the
city to make call and does not seem to
mind the effort. The current events of
the world interest her as much as they
do the younger generations, and reading
the latest news in the latest papers is a;
much an act of her daily life as it is with
the business man with the ordinary care,
of life. She still retains a keen interest
in the home of her girlhood and never
fails to read the papers which are sent tC
her from that section"

A few evenings since fine looking,
elderly gentleman stood in front of
Battell block, gazing into the postoflice,
and to passer-by remarked $50 this is
the Battell block that | have often heard
spoken of, but never saw before. Fifty
years ago l was frequently in Middle
bury, and occasionally since. The last
time | was here the postoffice was in a
small building up street. that was In
striking contrast to the elegant apart
ments occupied here.' In response to
an inquiry the gentleman said he was
Theodore l.. Frarye, of Essex junction,
for number of years resident of
Burlington. His wife was Mary X.
Duston, daughter of Alanson Duston,
who owned quite plot of land in the
village. MIR. Frarey continued his re-
miniscences, of how there was a steep
incline to the old wooden rlckety bridge,
and wound up by declaring that the
people of Middlebury owed large
measure of gratitude to MIR. Battell for
his efforts in having such magnificent
structure as the stone bridge erected and
for identifying the village by the erection
of such an imposing and beautiful struc-
ture as the Battell block.

THRONG OF BUYERS CON-
TlNUE.

Special Half-Pricc Brings Many Patrons to
DIR. ID. A. Bisbee.
The people of Middlebury and vicinity
appreciate the great advantage DR.. ID.
A. Bisbee obtained for them, in getting
the DR.. Howard Co. to allow the regu-
lar 80 cent size of DR.. Towards specific,
for the cure of constipation and dyspep-
STA, to be sold at half price, 20 cents, and
have bought hundreds of bottles.
Many orders have come by mail at
this popular price, for it is very unusual
to be able to buy sixty doses of a stand
ard medicine for half price.
Every bottle of the specific sold by
DIR. d. A. Bisbee has had his personal
guarantee to return the money If 1t was
not satisfactory, but none has come
back, showing the wonderful curative
power of this remedy
Unlike ordinary medicines for consti-
patton and dyspepsia, the dose of DIR.
Towards specific Is reduced after few
days use, and the cure is soon complete
and lasting.
In New York city the specific is very
popular, and many club man finds he
can eat what he wants and when he
wants, if he takes dose of this remedy
afterwards.
1t is only recently, on the persist
ent advice OF Dr. ID. a. Bisbee, that DR..
Towards specific has been sold for less
than 30 cents, but he urged that it would
be better to secure quick introduction
in Middlebury In this way, and the re-
suit has proven his good Judgment.
If you have not already taken advan-
tage of this chance to get months
medical treatment for % cents, be sure
to call at DR.. ID. A. Bisbees today, for
he has only small amount of the speci-
flc on hand.
