Burlington last year had only 40
DRINKS before the courts. This year,
from May to December the doors of the
county Jail have closed upon $40. There
have been Gl0 criminals of all sorts
locked up in the county Jail in the same
seven and one-half months. Burlington

gregated Sl369.3S. while she has collect

flcit of S464.S5 for the three months
There have been alternative or forced
mprisonments from Burlington in county
Jail and Rutland work house aggregating
302S days, making the state board bill,
at 80 cents "a day, of $l5l4, which is at
the rate of $1,000 year. It's one of the

The auditors met Thursday to examine
the doings of the Lincoln Creamery asso-
citation and found it in prosperous con-
dition, the most prosperous since its
organization. The annual meeting was
held in Morgan's hall, Tuesday evening,
Jan. 5.
Nelson Murray, whose butter tub fac
tory in South Lincoln was recently
burned, has an option-a bond for deed
on the Hodijah Lincoln mill property
at West Lincoln, including about 400
acres of timber land; and will resume the
the manufacture of butter tubs there.
The removal of Mr. Murray's business
will leave but three small lumber con-
Germs in South Lincoln, whereas that part
of the town was formerly the center of
the lumber business in the community.
In 1880 Lincoln had 81 manufacturing
establishments employing about $50 men;
it now has but six, all told, employing
less than 60 hands. Besides, the popula-
ton, which was 1852 in 1900, is slowly
decreasing, and all the signs would indi-
cate that the town has seen its best days
financially.

The small 'pox scare in Bristol is "a
matter of history. Exaggerated rumors
have made it an epidemic of immense
proportions, but the facts never justified
one half the scare that has existed, for
at no time since the quarantine was
established has there been any danger to
people coming into this village to trade
or visit Neither has there been any
liability of the disease becoming epidemic
in this village. The circulators of the
false reports have fitted themselves for
admission as members into the Ancient
Order of Disreputable Liars, an organiza-
ton that possesses many attractions for
such people. Bristol has passed through
many trials, but always came out with
flying colors, and will this time.-Brstol

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
Opinions of Leading Vermont Papers

BAD BOOKS.

Human nature depraved as it may be,
will not tolerate its depravity in a mirror.
While as against their misinterpretation
by the thoughtless and immature minded
the books may be proper subjects of
Introduction, they have been published
always, have been obtainable always
and probably always will be- Whatever
may be the view of Watch and Ward
or Comstock and related societies, the
really harmful reading of today does not
come down from the coarse ages of
Boccaccio, of Margaret of Navarro, nor
yet of Balzac, but it lies in the pernicious
stuff, priced from penny to IA nickel,
that school children can buy anywhere
and do buy everywhere. Hackwritten,
mind warped, communicating and con-
tagious rot, for the most part, reeking
with crime or saturated with flatulent
love, the stories thus obtained and
secretly read, develope and nOurish an
appetite quite as runous and just as
tenacious as that pertaining to any bad
habit youth can form. If interdict
should issue against anything printed,
to our mind, it should operate first of all
against the literary otfal that goes along
with chewing-gum and candy from the
same counter, to abort the uniformed
mind of childhood. -Morrisville Mes

NEW CURE.

A noted pathologist has lately demon
strated that cultures from "a tuberculous
COW, when used to inoculate human
beings suffering from tuberculosis, pro-
duce beneficial effects, checking the dis
ease and, in certain cases, eifecting
cures. This rather upsets the old theory
that bovine and human tuberculosis
We're identical and that the former was
communicable to man by eating cow
meat or COW products. If the patholo
gist is correct the more we eat of such
matter the less likely we shall be to die
of tuberculosis. This may be the ex-
that the death rate in Williston from
tuberculosis had declined rapidly, while
the cattle in town were rotten with dis
ease.-Randolph Herald.

NOT A CANDIDATE.

We take it that Mr.. DeBoer wishes it
understood that he Is not candidate in
the ordinary-and regrettable-sense
He is not so circumstanced that he can
do those things toward promoting his
nomination that have become customary
of late. He would like the service and
honor, if freely rendered, but as these
things do not come that way he must be
counted out of the running 1t is a
lamentable condition that causes good
