LIFE HAS WORTH NOW
HAPPY ENDING OF EIGHT YEARS OF
WEAKNESS AND DEsP0NDENOY.
Mrs. Miller Tells How She Succeeded in
Recovering Lost Interest in Life,
others May Profit.

"For eight years." say Mrs. Mollie
e. Miller, of Wilmington, Ohio, II suf-
fered from dizziness and palpitation of
the heart, and after the birth of my little
girl five years ago 1 remained very weak.
l was nervous, down-hearted and could
not sleep. Every month l lost q full
week in prostration that left me scarcely
strength enough to drag myself around
the house. Whenever that time APP
preached it always filled me with dread.
1t often seemed to me that l would
rather die than live.
Zone day last spring a friend of mine
strongly recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, and 1 was in
duced to give them a trial for my
troubles. Before 1 got through the first
box / experienced great relief. For the
first time in all these years 1 felt that 1
was gaining a little strength. 1 con-
tinued to use them with h~opefulness,
and by the time I had taken four boxes
1 did not feel like the same oma The
weakness, the melancholy, the restless
ness from which I suffered so long have
disappeared and life is entirely different.
l am glad that 1 took them myself and 1
heartily recommend them to others for
what they have done for me-"
When the blood is impure, or weak, or
scanty, every nerve and muscle and or
gan of the body feels the harmful effect;
for the blood goes everywhere and the
vitality of every part depends upon it.
The cure of complicated cases like that
Of Mrs. Miller. in which body and mind
both suffer, shows what wonderful re-
suits follow the use of the greatest Of
blood remedies.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are what hun.
dreds of women need to change q
wretched into a happy existence, to en-
able them to get rid Of small worries al
together, to bear heavy burdens easily
and to find daily enjoyment in life.
An@mia, irregularities, nervous debility
and prostitution yield promptly to the
invigorating influence of these marvel
Gus pills. They not only cure all forms
Of female weakness, but they supply a
fresh store Of vitality to the blood and
the nerves and create conditions that
insure lasting good health. They are
sold by all druRgistsL

meeting was very swell" among those
present being Mrs. Bradley-Martin, Mrs.
Jack Gardner, and other noted society
women.
AT the Baptist church Sunday morning,
after preaching service, the ordinance of
the Lords Supper will be observed. In
the evening an appropriate sermon will
be given and one candidate will be bap-
tized. The hand of fellowship will be ex-
tended at the communion service.
Arthur Blood was given a surprise par
" at the home of A. W.. j. Wilkins and
family Saturday evening by n dozen or
more of his intimate acquaintance. The
occasion was his 18th birthday anniver-
sary. Refreshments were served and the
young man was presented a silver spoon.
Bodine & Davis of Bellows Falls. who
recently bought the w. A. Wood place
near the depot, have a force of men at
work moving the buildings in order that
they may use the site for n brick yard.
A large quantity of lumber for moulding
brick and for other purposes has arrived.
Partridges and other game have be-
come uncommonly bold of late, and nu-
merous instances are reported of birds
and squirrels venturing up to peoples
houses and into the streets. One cit
izen caught a partridge in the street with
his hands. and only this week ii. G. War
rem shot one with a rifle from his back
door. Local hunters have reported that
game is scarce, but when birds come to
give themselves up the average citizen
forms his own opinion.
The adjourned annual meeting of the
| Audubon society will be held next Monday
at 4 o'clock at the home of Mrs. II. L.
Pierce. This is the time set for the
election of officers. Several attempts
have been made to hold this meeting,
but each time not enough members were
present to do business. Whether the So
ciety will stand or fall will be determined
next Monday, so 1t is urged that each
member make a personal sacrifice If need
be in order to have a quorum present.
The board of civil authority met Sat
urday night to add names to the check
list to be used at the election next Tues
day. They will meet again Saturday of
this week at $50 y. m. This will be the
last opportunity for anyone to get his
name on the list. Any man who has not
lived in town long enough to acquire a
residence may vote here on securing a
certificate from the town clerk in the
town where he last lived to the effect
that his name is on the list in that town.
The ladies' aid society of the Congre-
g%ational church elected these officers

Congregational Church Needs Pastor.

Rev. E. C. Fisher of Westminster West.
who has acted as temporary supply in
the Congregational church, holding SER
vices at 9 o'clock in the afternoon, fin
ished his engagement last Sunday. No
definite action has been taken in regard
to his successor, although a candidate
for the place was in town this week. 1t
is but about two months before the an
nual church meeting, and it is probable
that at that time steps will be taken for
securing a settled pastor, of which the
church is much in need. The Sunday
school will meet next Sunday at noon in
stead of 2 o'clock as formerly.

The Late Senator Hoar as a Party Man.


He was not in a state where party was
made the instrument OF plumber and it's
management a sink of iniquity. He
would nave bolted Butler and opposed
him, though even here slow in his oppo-
sition. To the close of his career, he held
to a sound belief in the claims of party,
opposed the treaty of Paris and the Pan
ANA treaty in debate. and voted for both.
Throughout, he was of constant and pat
riotic service in connecting the brains and
principle of his party with its working
management and titular leadership. He
kept President Grants confidence when
other reformers lost it. His close con-
nection and acquaintance with the mana
gers of party machinery enabled him to
stay many a vicious project and secure
many a sound compromise which a man
walking alone could never have gained.
His long national service had few
greater gifts to his land h the party
service he gave when, as chairman to
the Republican national convention, In
1880, he prevented Grants nomination
for a third term and assured Garfeld's
Every force of evil in the Republican
| party, all the seventy-times seven devils
expelled by the revelations and investi'
cations of a decade, rallied to put ar
honest hero to dishonest use. Senator
| Hoar was never seen to better advantage
thar in those long days when with up
lifted gavel and high-pitched voice HI
ruled that storm and turned back 1T
mad desire. Nor is such service posi-
BILE except TO the mar who feels the re
sponsibility Of party action and has tn
instinct of control and moral leadership
Never before or after was he called t
this high service. Nowhere else in hi
life did he display that unique power o
personal direction and impartial decision
which distinguishes the presiding office
of our race. No other race has it. Flo
lack of it, in the hands of no other me
is the representative chamber workable
The best of his time and training shon
in those Chicago days which saved tn
republic from departure from a soun
tradition essential to free government

There is a way open to convince the

the like of which has never been pro-
duced before in Brattleboro. Read this
case of it given by a citizen:
Joseph E. Jones, farmer between Will
Evansville village and Newfane, three and
a half miles from Brattieboro says ITO
a man engaged in my calling a good
sound back is indispensable, but when
that is weak and is subject to attacks
of aching particularly If he contracts
cold or over exerts himself ne is on such
occasions in abject misery. When the
this weakness and aching every morning
and for al hour or two after l arose
and even when up and walking round
for any length of time the soreness
was very apparent. When a man cannot
stoop or bend without mourning sharp
twinges, when he has spells of dizzi-
ness in spite of all the medicine he uses
to remove the a~nnoyances and that man
at last buys at George e. Greene's drug
store Doan's Kidney Pills and takes a
course of the treatment which stops the
almost continual aching n removes
other annoyances due to either weaken

Rev. IL. Gertrude Roscoe preached her
farewell sermon at the Universalist church
last Sunday, and left town Monday. Miss
Roscoe's relationship with the church and
community was entirely pleasant, but
she felt that her health demanded an en-

preaching. Not wishing to be idle she
has taken a position as general agent for
a publishing firm for which she will re-

Roscoe's father, Rev. r. Roscoe, came for
her Monday and she went with him to his
home in Westmoreland, out it is under
