Harris says, "The rights and privi-

simplest, and they will not take him
further than his own physical strength
or mental gifts may go. Personal
preference, taste, community of inter
ests and desires, business relations,
congeniality of temperament, and vari-
Gus other reasons give one man one
set of friends and associates, and an
other, another; and to crown it all,
there is no law or custom that COM

equality with those who, for one rea-
son or another, are disagreeable to
him. In short, there must be inter
ests or tastes in Uncommon. ,.,...~ M -
In speaking of our professional men
Mr. Harris says: TT is true that there
are comparatively few of them in the
professions, and it is also true of the
whites, if we compare the number OF
doctors and lawyers with the whole
number Of those who are engaged in
earning a living. # there are q few
professional men among them it is
because there is no demand for their
services and not because the profes-
fsions are closed to them. The trou-

NOT FOR PROCTOR.
Montpelier Democrats and Labor Men Fuse on
That Issue.

Montpelier, August 20.-Dr NJ. f..
Mcclure was unanimously nominated
for city representative at democratic
caucus in Montpelier Saturday even
ing.
At an adjourned caucus of the laoor
party held after the democratic caucus
the candidacy of d. Mcclure was un-
animously indorsed. The labor party
will have no candidate of its own.
In both caucuses emphasis was Civ
en- to the fact that George O. Smatton
who was nominated by the republicans
for city representative the night before,
would, if elected, vote for the re-elect-
ion to the L. S. senate of Reddeld
Proctor and that the candidate indor-
sed by the democrats and the labor
party would not so vote.

FAIRBANKS at W. R. JUCT
Preferred To Speak There as His
Father Was Born In That
County.

Burlington, Aug 20:-It was an
nounced at the Republican state head
quarters this afternoon that Senator
Fairbanks, the party's candidate for
vice-president, would speak at White
River Junction, Aug %. 1t was at
first planned u have the senator speak
at Rutland, but the matter being left
to him, he expressed desire to speak
in Windsor county, his father having
lived at Barnard, in that county, and
White River Junction was the most
suitable place in the county for a
great political rally.
Attorney General William H..
Moody, of massachusetts, will address
a great meeting at Rutland, the date
of which has not been fixed.
The reports that come in from the
various rallies are distinctly encour-
ageing and indicate a great awakening
among Republicans throughout the
state and determination not to al
low the Democrats to cut down the
party majority to a point which viii
be considered as an indication of Re-
publican defeat.

BEST FAIR OF SECTION.
Great Fair at Cambridge Aug 80 81 and Sep
tsmber ! and 2.


Some think they can tortell the weat-
her, one, two, perhaps three days
ahead. Sometimes they hit it ofteuer
not. There is such blissful uncer-
tainty about weather. Not so with the
Cambridge Fair. People will tell you
days, weeks, months ahead that it is
going to be the best fair for miles and
miles around, and you always find
this prophesy true.
The Superintendent of Rentals in
orms us that, he has sold more space
this year than ever before in the his
tory of this fair, so that one will find
plenty of varied entertainment during
the first day and the morning of the
sesond along the midway, and added
to this are the attractions of the many
exhibition halls, the unrivaled poul-
try department, and of the stock de-
partments where will be found the best
results of careful breeding among
cattle, sheep and swine.
Beginning with the afternoon of the
second day and continuing morning
and afternoon thereafter you will find
excellent racing and the best and most
costly special attractions shown at any
fair this season in front of the grand
stand Compelled by the force of
an overwhelming demand the Alabama
Troubadors have been asked to return
again, and although they alone have
enough different acts to give a new en-
tertainment each day of the fair, there
are yet still more novel and upto date
features and the three Rio Brothers
will startle you with their marvellous
feats of strength and skill on the flying
rings, the Brothers .nole will
astonish and delight you on the re-
yolying ladder, and Professor Win
ston School of Educated Seals and
Sea Lions will astound and amaze
you with the most wonderful feats
ever performed by the Animal King
dom.
Horsemen all say that their horses
receive a special inspiration to do
their best from a Cambridge Fair
crowd, so good racing is always in
order here. All classes are exception
ally well filled this year and in free
for all race on Friday afternoon the
track record OF 2:1l viii undoubtedly
be broken.
A visit to the Cambridge Fair is the
pleasantest, cheapest, and most profit
able holiday that this part of our
country affords Atno other fair can
so much be seen for so little money.
To all who come a welcome is extend
ed with the assurance that the Cam
bridge Fair OF 1904 will not only main
tain the record of the past, but will
surpass in every department the at
fractions Of its predecessors and the
b. Shtgs, expectations of its friends.

AN HISTORIC CANE.
Made From the Ola Church and Bridge at Con-

f. T. Griswold recently purchased a
cane which is historically interesting.
The body of the cane is made from a
piece of the First Parish church, Con

as the place where the First Provincial
Congress, John Hancock, President,
was held in liza. It was built in 17l2
and burned in 1900.

Powder House where the powder was
stored which caused the British to
come out on April 10th when they we're
repulsed at the Old North Bridge.

though remodelled.
In the head is dark piece of wood
