The commencement exercises of
the Mansfield high school were held
last week. The annual address was
delivered by Hon. }, A. Beaii of
this city, and speaking of the ad-
dress the Mansfield Sun says;
There are many things which con-
spire to make a great address, but
there are two essential Ones-a great
occasion and a great man. That
both obtained there can be no ques-
ton. The large audience of inter
ested, intelligent people; the wide
awake, eager ambitious students
made a great occasion, these people
had shown their interest during the
year by their visits and patronage.
They had attended all the programs
and had again assembled to enjoy
the climax-the annual address.
Patrons in perfect sympathy with
the object and views of the Acad-
envy were scarcely less interested
than the pupils. All had heard
much of the ability of the speaker
and their presence and sympathy
demanded an intellectual treat.
Mr.. Beall met every expectation
went far beyond. Nowhere is he

Yes, our Press Association has

that il was good to be there. That
it was not only a pleasure to meet

SPRING AILMENTS.

There is an aching and tired feel
ing; the liver, bowels and kidneys
become sluggish and inactive, the
digestion impaired, with little or no
appetite, no ambition for anything,
and a feeling that the whole body
and mind needs toning up. The
trouble is, that during winter, there
has been an accumulation of waste
matter in the system. Herbine will
remove it, secure to the secretions
a right exit, and its tonic effect
fully restore wasted tissues and
give strength in place Of weakness.

STOWE,
DEATH OF MRS. II. B. FAUNCE.

The death of Mrs. Caroline Pratt J.
wife of III. B. Faunce occurred at an
early hour Friday morning December
II, at her home on School street.
the funeral services were held there
on Sunday at l p. M, the Rev. O..
D. Clapp of North Hero In charge.
He was assisted by the Rev. D. L.
Evans of Stowe. The arrangements
were carried out In accordance with
Mrs. Faunce's wishes and we're in
charge of G. M. Watts. Hymns were
sung by quartet composed of Miss
Ethel Watts, Mrs. D. l.. Evans, FL. w.
Durham and A. A. Royce, with Mrs.
Royce at the piano. The bearers we're
Fred Billings, F. E. Cooley, M. P.
Russell and E. F. Brink. The inter-
ment was at River Bank cemetery.
Mr.. Clapp paid warm tribute to Mrs.
Faunce as a loving wife and mother,
the ties which bound her and her fam
lily being perhaps unusually strong.
Mrs. Faunce was the daughter of
Silas and Esther Pettingill Pratt.
She came to Stowe with her parents
when quite young and her home has
ever since been here. She was married
A years ago to Fl. B. Faunce. Their
children are Henry Faunce and FL. F.
Faunce of Stowe, Mrs. E. W. Dilling-
ham of Bellows Falls and Lucius
Faunce of Waterbury. They have
five grandchildren, the eldest, Miss Tia
Faunce, has been a member Of Mrs.
Faunce's family from infancy. One
brother, T. G. Pratt, resides in Stowe,
and sister, Mrs. Clarissa Fairfield in
Hyde Park. Mrs. Faunce suffered
an attack of hemorrhage of the lungs
for the first time 26 years ago and
since that time has never been well,
and for the last four years has been a
confirmed invalid. Her last illness
was of five weeks duration and her
sufferings were great, but wereibOrn,
as always, patiently. She has been a
member of the Methodist church OF
Stowe for 80 years, and was always
an earnest worker there when health
permitted. She had many warm
friends in church and community.

of the business men of their town. As
the audience was very small, not
many knew of the result of the con-
test that evening, but the next morn
ing when the news was spread abroad
all the towns peope wore a smiliL &
face.
The schools and people of both
towns should give much credit to Mr..
Jersey for keeping up this contest
and meeting the expenses. There is
great call from our higher inetitu-
tions of learning and all business vo.
cations for better spelling and better
spoilers. Such an incentive as Mr..
Jersey gives will be a great inspira-
ton for our schools to do better work:
and though some must fail to win
the prize they must realize that the
virtue lies in the attempt. The spell
ing of both teams was excellent and
we shall be pleased to have Morris
vile come again and if they prove
worthy, carry home in triumph the
much coveted trophy. The invita-
ton was given to all the schools of
of the county to compete in the con-
test, and we hope some of them will
brace up with little sand and Join
US in the strife next year, for it will
make the contest much more interest
ing.

UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT MUSICAL
CLUBS.
The concert given in the interest of
the High School by the U.V M. Musi.
cal Clubs in the Stowe Opera House
recently was q decided success. The
audience was large and very appreci
alive. The clubs won their enthus-
iasm from the very first, and every
selection received a hearty applause
for encores. The work of the banjo
and mandolin clubs was we'll up to
the par of excellency. Too much can
not be said in praise of the work of
the Glee Club. The solos of Bagnall,
tenor, Miner, baritone, and Perkins
banioist, we're especially excellent.
Heath made a great hit with his i'm
presentations and was called back for
numerous encores. Among the other
good singers the tenors were we'll
strengthened by Ross, medic. The
clear strains of the tenors and the
deep rich tones of the bases blended
in perfect harmony, completely capt.,
waiting the ears of the audience and
held the listeners spell bound. There
are number of excellent musicians in
the club which enables them to give
professional concert. There execu-
tions show careful training and faith
full work, and they are sure of success
every where they go. The people of
Stowe and the schools are fortunate
in having the treat of such a grand
entertainment. The men of the clubs
are fine fellows, and we enjoyed their
short stay with US very much. We
hope that you will come again boys
next year.

STOWE HIGH SCHOOL WINS CUP AGAIr

STOWE HIGH SCHOOL WINS CUP AGAIN.
The second annual spelling contest
for the Hersey Cup was held in the
Stowe Opera House, Friday evening,
Dec. II. Only two towns, Morrisville
and Stowe, had the courage to strive
for the prize. The Peoples Academy
team consisted of the Misses Lou
Gould, Gertrude Brigham, Esther
Bacon and Oscar Kinsley and Dana
Thomas. Those of the Stowe team
were Frank Robinson, Philip Adams,
Conrad Adams and Misses Alice Burt
and Amber Smith. The time was two
twenty minute periods with an inter
mission of five minutes. The work OF
both teams is worthy of much praise.
From the first, however, the victory
was with Stowe. The score of mis-
spelled words was six to seventeen In
favor of Stowe. As the audience was
about to separate Prin. Beebe arose
and said that they should do as Sir
Thomas did-"go home and prepare
to come again." The contestants oil
the winning team received prize oil
