BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITs.

"DeWitt's is the only genuine Witch
Hazel Salve" writes j. L. Tucker, of
Center, Ala. 81 have used it in my
family for piles, cuts and burns for years
and can recommend it to be the best
Salve on the market Every family
should keep it, as it is an invaluable
household remedy, and should always
be kept on hand for immediate use ~
Mrs. Samuel Gage of North Bush, N. Y,
says: 81 had fever sore on my ankle
for 12 years that the doctors could not
cure. All salves and blood remedies
proved worthless. l could not walk for
over two years. Finally was persuaded
to try DeWitt's Witch Halle Salve, which
has completely cured me. 1t is wonder
full relief" DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve

Judson Warren Mead.

Judson Warren Mead departed this life
Nov. 30, 1904, at his home on Case St.,
having attained the age of 90 years. He
was the son of Sydney A. and Amelia G..
Mead; the youngest of five children.
Two older brothers survive him; his
parents and two sisters are deceased.
He was Joined in marriage Jan. 10, 1865,
to Eta G.. Battles, who now waits the
summons to glad reunion in the better
land. After more than half century of
consistent Christian living in one COM
munity, and worshiping in the same
church, who can adequately measure the
extent of the influence, or tell the story
of this good mans life? No one who
really knew Judson w. Mead could dis
trust him. His nature was compact
with qualities which shape the symmetry
of consistency and steadfastness, like a
house built upon a rock. His was a
Christian life that was quiet, sincere,
earnest and unwavering. With courage,
good sense, patience and fortitude he
met the common tests of human expert
ence and life's severe ordeals and exigen-
cies as well. Always constant in attend
ance upon the services of the church
until impaired health made attendance
impracticable. An office-bearer retained
even when he could not be present at the
regular meetings of the board because of
his wise counsel and optimistic spirit,
bringing inspiration, sympathy and good
cheer always to those engaged in the
work. He was generous in his support
of the church and her benevolent work.
For nearly eight years he was suffer
er. Many times as he walked the house
in agony of body his voice was heard in
prayer. "Faint, yet pursuing" was the
lowest point his sours thermometer ever
registered.
Brother and Sister Mead were blessed
with five children, three of whom grew
to maternity, Rev. Junius E. Mead,
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church
in Burlington, Mrs. Frank f. Chandler
of Brandon and Miss Grace d. Mead of
Middlebury.
The funeral services were held at the
home where he was born and where he
always lived, Dec. 1, 1904, at II o'clock,
and were conducted by Rev. w. IL.
Washburne, d. D., pastor of the church
Interment was made in the family plot
in the Case street cemetery. His memory
will ever be a precious and loving
possession to the friends left behind.

The Rutland Herald last week cee-
brated its 10th anniversary and printed
a facsimile of the first page of the first
issue, Dec. s, 1894. 1t also contained
many illustrations and a sketch of Rut-
land then and now, showing the great
growth of both city and paper. The
Herald is to be congratulated upon
the great improvements it has made
and its rapid growth as a first class
newspaper. 1t is interesting to note
that when the Herald was first issued
there were only so newspapers in the
whole country while there are over
10000 today. Then there were only
two in Vermont, now there are nearly
eighty.

Every newspaper is anxious to print
all the news, especially the local and
county news, worth printing. 1t often
happens that, with all the care possible,
a newspaper is imposed upon and prints
bogus news, an item made up in whole
or in part by some "Smart Alec" either
as joke or "to get even" with someone.
These are properly signed, so worded
that no one not acquainted with the
parties or facts would suspect the real
nature of the item by reading it. 1t is
cold day however, when the paper
fails to even up the score in the end and
make it interesting for the party that
imposed upon it.

The great advance in the price of the
preferred stock to the Rutland railroad,
from % to 70 within three months, has
called attention to the value of this road
and the excellence of its management.
Over $700,000 has been expended in i'm
proving its physical condition. The old
wooden bridges have practically all been
replaced by the best type of steal bridges,
such as are used on the n. Y. Central
and Lake Shore roads. They have
been paid for, not by the issue of notes,
bonds or stock as is the usual way, but
from the earnings of the road. The
Rutland has bright future before il
under its present progressive and sue
cessful management.
