From Our Exchan ge
Morrisvi1le MESSENGER.

With all due apology for help
ing to keep the subject alive, we
would report the remark of a well
known Lamoille county minister
made to us, the other day, con-
corning the much discussed ques-
ton of country ministers salaries.
Said the minister, "Clergymen,
like workers in other lines get
just about what they are worth.
AS class, they are no more I'M
derpa1d than many others when
the actual value of the service
rendered is considered. The
world is buying service of all
kinds on the business basis of val
lie received and it is making no
exception of its ministers.
(Vergennes Enterprise
The purchase of the business
of the Consolidated Light and
Power company of Montpelier by
a syndicate of capitalists from
Port Huron, Mich, emphasizes
anew the resources of the state,
so often indifferently developed
or neglected by home capital.
Ubero plantations, western loans,
schemes as thin as d flament and
as shifting as quicksilver secure
share of home grown suckers,
but ask a thousand dollars for a
home investment and watch the
suspicious eye of the money-hug-
ger give you the cold grey, stare.
There is money in Addison county
earning less than four per cent,
that is simply suffering for some
smooth tongued CRATER to come
along and devour it with hair
Drained propositions to grow
coffee in Alaska or develop lead
mines in Montreal. Invest it in
Vermont? I guess not. They
may say in some cases-give us a
chance. Here's a side of the
question worth considering.
Money isn't the only thing tied
up. Power, property, and unde-
veloped resources have also few
strings h1tched to them. Why is
it? Same old shifty-eyed suspic-
ion. Same old fear that some
one will get bigger slice than
me. In the name of common
sense, let us face business prop
osition with a business counte-
nance. There is power on Otter
Creek going to waste. Why isn't
it working? There is electric
in dynamos and turbines
that isn't utilized. Why aren't
the plants working up to their
limit? There are lodges of com
stone unquarried. Why |
don't the owners open them up?
There is sweet, pure water in our
everlasting hills, Why do we
drink dissolved garbage? A start |
has been made in the right direc-
ton. Vergennes and Middle
bury are in the field for new in
dustries. Some have already been
Capital has loosened
up enough to give them substan-
tial aid. 1t looks as though the
lawn of industrial prosperity had
come. Let the good work go on.
Let the other fellow make a dol
lar. Loose the fevered grasp on
the afflicted dollar. Forget that
} ID per cent for a year or so.
Let us all get together, lift in
Unison and then watch the bust
1ess come to Addison county.
Dur day is due. Let us be among
hose present when it comes.

Huge Task.

1t was huge task, to undertake the
cure of such bad case of kidney dis
ease, as that of c. F. Collier, of Cher
okee, Ia, but Electric Bitters did it..
He writes, my kidneys were so far
gone could not sit on a chair without
a cushion; and suffered from terrible
backache, headache, and depression
In Electric Bitters, however, l found
cure, and by them was restored to per-
feet health. l recommend this great
tonic medicine to all with weak kid
neys, liver or stomach. Guaranteed

Fairlee, druggists; price So.

GiIhefl InnRA.

A method has recently been invented
of depositing a metal coating electrical
ly on lagos and other fine fabrics.G The
process Is still Kept a secret, but it
turns odt the most surprising results,
In effect changing the tissues exposed
into the daintiest fabrics of gold, silver
or bronze. The utility Of the metallized
laces covers various fields. They serve
for table ornamentation and for center
pieces; architects use them in mural
decorations; in applications on uphol-
stery and for the hangings of panels in
salons, boudoirs and rich dining halls.
The makers of fine furniture incrust
wood with them in the manufacture of
screens and on surfaces of any kind,
plain or curved. They are also used
with striking effect in ecclesiastical
vestments and in ball and evening
dresses. Rich as they are in appear
ance and unparalleled in delicacy and
beauty they are very cheap. Anybody
can afford them, and the extent of their
use in costuming bids fair to be very
great. France discovered and Is de-
veloping the industry.

Van Woodcock participated in
a game of base ball last Saturday
and Sunday he was very i'll. 1t
was feared he would have a Sc

is much better.
Kimball Moulton is at this
time very sick man. 1t was at
first thought he had the grip but
fears are now entertained that he
has pneumonia. His wife has
been very sick this spring and is
now just able to keep around.
Mrs. F. ]. Hutton spent Deco
ration Day at Rodman Blake's in
East Orange.
Ezra Eastman is considered
some better and Mahlon Hum
phrey is not as well.
The administrators auction
sale of the furniture of the late
Mrs. Raymond Tenney took place
on Saturday and was largely at
tended especially by the ladies.
The property was the accumula-
ton of long life and represent
ed all the styles of the past, al
most century. The bidding was
quite spirited and the result of
sale on the whole satisfactory.
Mrs c. A. Ladd who became the
owner of the place so long oc,u-
pied by Mrs. Tenney, on the
death of the latter has had the
house thoroug hly overhauled and
is with her family now happily
settled in their new home.
Rev. Mr.. MCLane who conduct
ed the services at the Centre
church Sunday afternoon and at
Academy Hall in the evening
seems to be a young man with a
level head and has a remarkably
plain and convincing way of put
ting things and we have no
doubt will become a favorite.
1t is a great pity that some of
our pessimistic citizens who com
menCe to worry about the hay
crop before sugaring is over and
are always in worry did not
hear the afternoon sermon. 1t
might have induced them to cheer
up and 81 conduce to the COM
fort of their neighbors.
On the morning of Memorial
Day ]. M. Knight placed on the
grave of little Eddie Coy1e at the
Center cemetery beautiful and
unique decoration in the shape
of a metallic floral wreath sent
by the parents, Joseph P. Coyle
and wife of Somerville, Mass,
This is we believe the first of the
kind placed in this cemetery but
we hope not the last.
Geo. Peterson and wife of
Bradford have just placed in po-
s1tion handsome memorial tab
let to mark the last resting place
of their little one who passed
over the river last winter and
was brought here for interment.
The seleCtmen who are eX-
oficio Cemetery Commissioners
are about to improve the Center
cemetery. Next week we shall
be able to make more extended
reference to this matter which
will enable out of town residents
who have friends inferred here
to cooperate with the town in
about any needed inn
provements. We have several
times called attention to the I'M
slightly condition of this yard and
hope that there may
soon be marked betterment.

Memorial Day as a Holiday

New York state made Memorial day
legal holiday in 1878, and Connect
cut took similar action In 1875. Many
other states followed suit This action
on the part of the state legislatures
was a concession to the public demand
and enabled the banks and public Of
fees to close and give their employees
an opportunity to observe the day.
