Mi-o-na is a remarkable preparation
that tones up the digestive organs and
quickly gives perfect health and strength.
1t will cure the worst case of indigestion
or the depressed irritated state that
%af1licts nearly every one who has stomach
trouble. 1t is not a mere digestive like
the pepsin tablets, but is a remedy that
absolutely and positively lures dyspepsia
and restores perfect health to the diges-
tive system.
w. II. Sheldon can tell you of many
of his customer who recommend Mona
because it cured them. Better than all
testimonials, though, is the guarantee
under which Mi-o-na is sold. 1t is a
plain, positive statement that if this
remedy does not relieve you of indi-
gestion, it will cost you absolutely
nothing,

Representatives Nominated.

Judging by the returns from the
caucuses in the different towns, the next
legislature bids fair to be an unusually
able and useful one
The Republicans of Barre have named
Burt G. Wells, and the Democrats, the
present incumbent, G.. H.. Pape.
Brattleboro Republicans name that
brilliant young lawyer, Clark C.. Fits
and the democrats, NJ. j. Moran. S. B.
Waite, county clerk of Lamoille county,
was nominated by the republicans of
Hyde Park; George Aikens at Wood
stock ID. H. Morse at Randolph; A. O.
Humphrey at Burlington; Senator Noyes
at Rutland; at Royalton, r. B. Galusha;
at Cambridge, Linus Leavans; st.
Adams, Rev. D. j. O'Sullivan; Bethel,
f. G. Davis, republican, and Robert
Noble, democrat.
Randolph will do well if she elects
that successful and hustling farmer Dana
H. Morse as her representative in the
legislature. Mr.. Morse has a host of
friends in this county that would be
glad to see him in the Legislature be-
cause he stands for progress. reform in
taxation, good roads, better educational
facilities for Vermont farmers boys and
girls. He has made farming pay, and is
safe and sound on the big question of
the hour.

ToIIjnu the Meal

The cloak rooms of the Capitol, the
smoking parlors of the Senate and House,
are the clearing house for the yarns
gathered by the solons in their peregri-
nations through the country. During a
hull in the exchange of campaign remi-
%niscences a story was told of Yankee
thrift up among the mountains of Yer
mont. In the little hamlet of Tunbridge,
a sturdy settlement that nestles between
granite ribbed hills in Orange County,
dwell some twelve hundred intelligent,
God fearing citizens, who give measure
for measure and ask odds of no one.
But down at the fork of the roads in the
village is an Old grist mill, and up on the
hilisides the tilleIs of the soil protested
that the miller. one Cushman by name,
eXaCted more grist as his commission
than tradition allowed. Instead of taking
cash, millers commonly retain a portion
of the cornmeal or other grist as their
payment. Now Cushman had three sons
who helped in the mill. When a farmer
backed up to the antiquated structure,
left his corn. posted off to the village
store. and an hour later returned to the
mill for his meal, the miller, so the story
goes. paused in his work, and shouted to
his son Azel:
"Aze, did you toll that meal?'
Yes, father answered the youth.
The miller proposed to take no chances
on losing his commission, and concluded
that his son might be mistaken. He
called to his second son:
"Eph,' he called out, chow about that
meal? Did you toll it|'
YES, father, | attended to it,"
The farmer tapped his loot against the
whipstock while he wondered how many
more times the same rist would have to
yield the miller's commission. The miller
was not yet satisfied, and sought final
proof that his interests had been guarded.
He thought of his third son. 'Joe," he
called out, did you toll that meal?'
Once more the sol interpreted the
fathers mind from afar off and an
swered; Yes, father, l tolled that meal"
The miller was about to throw the
meal bag into the wagon, but suddenly
paused. We'll" he calculated, as he
turned to his eldest son, you're all such
pesky liars I'm dinged if l don't toll it
myself to make sure" And suiting the
action to the words, the miller himself
extracted the commission that the
farmers say had been exacted thrice
before. From Fred A. Emery in Tales

NOTES.

The hotels and many of the stores are
to be decorated with bunting, flags, ETC.,
fair week and it is hoped that many of
the residences about town will be
similarly arrayed so as to lend enthu-
siasm to the occasion.
Invite your friends from away to
spend fair week with you and thus help
to make Middlebury the leading Fair
town" of Vermont.
No amusement house in America
could afford to offer all the special at
fractions at the County Fair at less than
one dollar admission. At Middlebury
YOU can see all them all for 35 cents.

LETTER TO A MIDDLEBURY LAWYER.
MIDDLEBURY, VERMONT.

Dear Sir: What's the penalty for max
ing or selling short-measure paint in
your state?
And does it make any difference, if
three-fourths of the paints are short
measure?
Is seven pintsa full gallon or a fool
gallon?
What's the penalty for making or sell
ing whitewash for paint?
Is whitewash paint, if mixed with a
little paint and labeled "Pure mixed
paint" or something like that?
But we don't intend to 20 into the
business. We make Devoe lead-and-
zinc full-measure and true.
Yours truly
% +. w. DEvoE & Co.
P. S. A. Calhoun & Son sell our paint.
