The Barre Times holds out little
hama inr nc II ren,arkc.

The Barre Times holds out a little
hope for us. 1t remarks:
The Woodstock Spirit of the Age
says that Woodstock is not at all
interested in cross state railroad
which will not be connected with its
town by even spur track. We can
scarcely blame Woodstock for not
being over-jubilant about a railroad
which promises to cross the state in
its vicinity and still leave it off the
line altogether. Whether Woodstock
will be placed on the Barre, Mont
pclier and Rutland railroad when it
is built, will depend almost entirely
on the crossing of the Green Noun
tains. AS it now appears the best
place for getting over OF through
this barrier is considerably above
Woodstock, and in that case the
new railroad will necessarily have
to cut Woodstock out of the route.
However il a crossing or tunneling
OF the mountains farther south is
deemed feasible it would certainly
lie business move to place Wood
stock on the line of the proposed
railroad, as Woodstock and its sur-
rounding territory offers an attrac.
tive field, in fact one Of the best on
the east side of the mountains, south
OF Washington county. So
Woodstock should not give up all
hope Of beirg on the line of the pro-
posed railroad.

70 years of age, and companion
named Fred Brown, visited Bows

Brown CRYING Marlin rife. Both
young men were seated in the boat,
when Brown asked Forbes for the
gun and Forbes picked up the rifle
by the muzzle and handed the
weapon with the butt toward Brown,
who in attempting to reach it in
some way pressed the trigger and
the ball struck Forbes just above the
lett h,p and passed upward and
through his heart causing death in
about 10 minutes.

Don't Worry About Deing Sick.
One Of the best ways to keep In good
health Is not to think or worry too
much about 1t. II you feel strong and
well, don't lima CINE that some invidious
disease may be secretly attacking
your constitution. Many people arc
like the inexperienced traveller who
anxiously inquired about the symp-
toms Of seasickness and how he should
know when he had It. One generally
knows when he Is sick. and frequently
many supposedly alarming symptoms
prove upon investigation to be either
perfectly natural occurrences or Of
very slight importance.
