Mr.. Martin Montgomery, of silvara, Pa,

"Your aeao medicine, Cal-cura Solvent,

1t is record breaker and no mistake"
As in Mr.. Montgomery's case, rheunna.

1t is because Cal-cura Solvent acts on the

is CLEMENT FOR D'BOER?

The Montpelier Argus of Tuesday
evening has report Of allegel will
lingness of p. W. Clement Of Rut-
land to support Joseph A. DeBoer of
Montpelier, as the Republican candi-
date for governor of Vermont:
VIII Pcrciyal W. Clement keep
out of the race for the Republican
nomination for candidate for gov
ernor of Vermont? That he is will
ling so to do under certain condi-
tons now seems evident, but that he
is as yet undecided in the matter
seems equally certain.
There was rumor on the streets
Saturday afternoon that he had
offered his support to Hon. j. A. De-
Boer, in the event of his being a
candidate for governor, and the
presence here of j. HOLSTER Jackson
and James A. Mackay of Barre, who
were said to have been delegated by
Mr.. Clement to confer with Mr. De-
Boer, lent color to the rumor.
To an Argus reporter Mr.. DeBoer
stated that he received a call from
Messrs. jackson and Mackay on Sat
urday, who came to inquire if he
was candidate for the nomination
Of governor of Vermont. My answer
to these gentlemen was, said he, that
they had better get copy of my
letter Of December Z, as that indi-
Gated my attitude on-the subject both
then and now.
The report that Mr.. Clement is
willing to support Mr.. DeBoer ap.
pears to have substantial founda-
ton, and is considered by old liners
to be good politics. That he would
be a candidate against Stanton or
Bell is taken for granted by most
license men and many Republicans.

HARTLAND FOUR CORNERS

AT the meeting of the members of
the G. A. r., at this place last Sat
u,day, it was decided to have tie
m ,morial services May 80, in the
afternoon, at the Congregational
church in this town. Full particu-
lars will be given later.
We notice that several of our YER
mont newspapers have put Mr.. Glenn
ent "out of the race" for governor
several times in each issue of their
papers for several months past. We
should think their subscribers would
get tired of reading such nonsense.
We sincerely hope rum may be kept
out of the pulpit and not do furthtr
injury to the work of the gospel in
our state.
The death of Tina Walker occurred
Saturday night, April %. Funeral
Wednesday afternoon at his late resi-
dence. He was a late member of
Go, +. Sd Vt. Vols, and enc of the
best Vermont soldiers in the late re-
bellion. He was a universal favorite
and one whom to become acquainted
with was to become friend. He
has been sick and confined to his
house for a long time. His wife,
who has been faithful and constant
companion and nurse during his
long sickness, has the sympathy Of
the entire community in her severe
aflliction.
The sad news of the death at the
Vermont asylum at Brattleboro of
Miss Julia Carpenter was received
here Tuesday. The funeral was held
at the Universalist church at Wood
stock Wednesday, to which place her
remains were taken. Miss Carpeu-
ter was long time housekeeper for
James H. Leonard of this town, and
there as elsewhere was faithful
friend and helper. She was of re-
fined and sensitive nature, true and
unselfish to her friends, and her
many acts of kindness will long be
remembered.
