tory of Oriental Rug selling in Burlng-
ton. Fifteen thousand dollars worth of
the most priced qualities, patterns and
styles of imported rugs will be placed on
sale at the Old Bee Hive, A most re-
markable and unusual occurrence. Orien-

them at the bazaars of Turkestan or

of 60 per cent duty. Mr.. Nour will per-

A king for information in regard to the
age, locality and style of them. You are
assured of authentic and positively guar
anteed information. Although many of
the rugs in Mr.. Nour's store were badly
damaged, some were fortunately only
slightly damaged and great many just
water damaged. Thus in buying these
at half price you are guaranteed a most
renumerative saving, because like dia-
monds, Oriental Rugs increase in value
as the years go by so the person whose
tastes have trend to the hidden beauty
of Oriental Rugs will find at The Old Bee

Another Backwoods Crime.

Closely following after the Worcester
murder is another backwoods fight at
Bloomfield, Essex county, in which one
man was shot by two of his neighbors as
the result of a mountain feud. 1t seems
that one Charles Lyon keeps line house.
and has as neighbOrs Reuben and Edward
Bronson and that there has been trouble
between them for long time.
The night of March 3lst there was a
fight around the Lyon place. in which
rifles, shotguns and revolvers were used,
and Lyon was shot dead. The two
Bronsons took to the woods but were
captured the next day and are now in
Jail to answer to a charge of murder.
The trouble between the Bronsons and
Lyons was of long standing, but the
murder is supposed to have resulted from
the excessive use of intoXicants. A large
lumber company began the distribution
of $4,000 to wage earners in Bloomfield,
North STAFFORD, n. H., and places in the
vicinity. That evening there was much
noise and there We're numerous rows
there.
All the men engaged in the shooting
affray are hard characters, Lyons being
under indictment in New Hampshire
The others have served time in Yer
mont.
Reuben Bronson is 80 years old and hi.
brother is 30.

Only Sick.

This good story is afloat: A salesman
awaiting train at a station where a
crowd had congregated attempted to
display his remarkable perceptions by
declaring that he could tell just what
kind of man each one was by looking
at him. To satisfy incredulity he de-
clared that all present were democrats,
but was told that anybody could
"reckon' to that extent, as all Southern
ers were democrats. Turning to one
man he said "You are a Cleveland
democrat" to which the man accosted
assented. Then another man was
pointed out as an "Olney democrat" and
as this shot was right and Olney demo-
Gratis are scarce in the South the crowd
began to think they had struck a mind
reader. And you are Hearst demo
crat' continued the observer, signalling
out wild-eyed, frayed-remnant
specimen of humanity. But the cry
that came back from the accused one
broke up the proceedings. 1t was You
are Il d-liar, I'm sick, that's what
makes me look that way"

The old bell which has faithfully
responded to the calls of the public for
more than a hundred years, has at last
