Begin the Year by Figuring a Little
on the Future.
Ifyou are looking for opportun.
ity or investment try the Southwest
All over the Southwest, cities and
towns are growing up, expanding
requiring more, demanding more,
peopled by eager, pushing, wide
awake citizens, who see the virtue
of encouraging enterprises of every
kind, the needfulness of getting
more and better facilities, and more
hands to develop the country.
Briefly, the condition is this: The
Southwest is really in need of moth.
ing save people. More men are
wanted. In the Southwest are vast
areas of unimproved land-land not
yielding the crops of which il is ca
pable. The same thing, in differ
ent way, is true Of the towns. Few
lines of business are adequately
represented. There are openings OF
all sorts-for mills and manufac.
turing plants, for small stores of all
kinds, for banks. newspapers and
lumber yards. Mechanics and pro.
feshional men, both are in demand.
Tell us what you want, how much
you have to invest, and we'll help
you with information about a good
opening. GEORGE NORTON, Gen'l

AUTOMOBILE LEGISLATION.
General Committee Has Long Sessions
No Report at Present.


Among those who appeared before the
general committee yesterday afternoon
and last evening for the hearing on auto
mobile legislation We're half a dozen OF
50 from Barre for whom r. w. Bisbee
and ] w. Gordon were spokesmen. The
committee was in session two hours in
the afternoon and about the same length
of time in the evening IL is reported
that no report will be given until next
week
The representative from Fairlee de
Tended his bill which keeps automobiles
off public highways from noon until
midnight. Asked by }. W. Gordon If
there Had been any accidents in his town
by automobiles the representative said
No and explained by saying that none
dared to 90 out.
Representative Campbell Of Bellows
Falls explained his bill which IS modelled
after the Massachusetts law and the
greater part Of the time was given up
70 a discussion Of it, The Campbell bill
seems to strike the committee rather
fayorably but there IS one section which
doesn't appeal to Automobiles. That
gives sort of local option to selectmen
and aldermen, allowing them to rule
autos of any roads they choose. Among
those who protested We're the president
and secretary Of the Brattleboro Auto
mobile club, Charles Harris and Fl H-
whitney, Il. w. Bisbee and J. w. Cor
don Of Barre. and Secretary Woolson
OF the Vermont Automobile Association.
II. g. shaw. who II employed by Col.
Joe Battell 81 Middlebury, was present
in behalf OF the horse, representing the
farmers Of 20 out Of 20 towns Of Adds
lson county
| Representative John G, Sherburne Of
Pomfret was the most bitter against
lautos and autoists. He declared that
his horse was very much afraid Of the
maehines and that it wasn't safe for him
to 90 on the road.
Did you ever meet an automobile
lwhiie on the road with that horse z
Ihe was asked Air Sherburne admitted
he had never met one.
"Then, why do you know that youl
horse is afraid of the machinesl" wa;
the next question put to him.
ssWell, ] guess know replied th'
Representative, 'i'te lived with him foi
I15 years and know just what be wotils

GUILTY OF MURDER.
Gercon Marx. the Connecticut Farmer,
VIII Be Sentenced Today.

Nea London. Conn. Oct. 20. Gercon
Marx, the aged Colchester farmer, who
has been on trial for several days charg-
ed with the killing Of Payol Rodeeki, a
farm hand in his employ, last spring
today was found guilty Of murder IN
the FIRST degree The jury was out for
hours, during which time all the eyid-
ence was reviewed, ard the vote for the
extreme penalty was unanimous Marx
probably will be sentenced to death By
hanging tomorrow
Widespread interest IN the ease was
oceasioned by reason Of the fact that
the authorities believe they have com
nected Marx with other murders on his
farm. The state claimed that Marx
killed Rodeeld rather than pay him six
months wages which were due, and that
he afterwards cut up the body, sewed
IL III sack and buried it in ali old cell
lar. The same manner Of disposing Of
the body Of second farm hand is said
to have been followed.
The prisoner showed no concern when
the verdict was announced. lie is rs
