DISTORTION OF HISTORY.

The Dakotas were too large for one state; the Virginias were too large for another and both were divided. How ever, Arizona and New Mexico are of just the right size, according to the jointure advocate. Who said "consis- tencyg'-Arizona Gazette.
 Remarkable, is it not, how our friends on the other side distort history?
 Virginia was not, divided be- cause the state was too large, but because she was trying to break out of the Union, and the people of West Virginia wouldn't stand for it: so they set up another state.
 So far as the Dakotas may be concerned some of the most pro-

Last week the Border Vldette threw eat fit over he organiza- ton of the Joint-Statehood Asso- citation of Santa Cruz county, and thought it pity that matter so serious should be treated with such levity. The Vidette may depend upon it that the issue of lointure IS serious matter-very serious; but the levitv is all upon that side of the house. The advocates of JoInt- ure are in deadly earnest, and they are in the contest to win. They are opening the eyes of the people to the abnormal conditions under which Arizona is laboring, and that statehood is the only re- medy. Men are beginning to think and as fast as one does bit of good, hard ratiocination upon the subject he comes over to the cause of iointure. When such men as Frank Proctor, Ed. Titcomb, T D. Casanega, Geo. D. Gross, George W. Atkinson, A. L. Peck, l Bur goon, W. C. scoville, Con O'Keefe, Ray Ferguson, k. D George, l. Ephraim, D. c. Chalmers, (and many more who have signed the membership roll of the association) with all the varied and important interests they control, unite by spontaneous incentive Ill such a movement 1t means something. One meaning to the declaration to which they have subscribed is that there is not the unanimity of sen timent against jointure in Arizona that has been alleged. Another meaning is that the movement in favor of jointure is growing; for a year ago all but two or three of the gentlemen named were hostile to the proposition, yet now embrace it as the best for Arizona. Then they were ruled by a sentiments: now they are actuated by good, substantial business motives. They see that 1t is business for the peo- pie of Arizona to frame q constitn- tion, assume the duties and res possibilities of self government, and that 1t is business to have the people of New Mexico help them in the great work.
 The tiny snow ball of opinion TIE OASIS started down the noun tain nearly two years ago, is stead fly rolling and gathering size, weight, speed and force. By an other year 1t will be an avalanche of public opinion, and will bury from sight forever all who shall have the temcrity to stand in the way.

elected f. l.. George, President ;
Porter Greene, Conductor; C. 81.
Crane, Sec'y and Treasurer stand
ing committee representing the vii
lsge, Dell L. Sanders, Glenn A. Will
kins and G. Fl. A. Stafford. The
band meets for practice every Tues
day evening, the first Practice meet
fng since the reorganization having
been held last evening. The building
west of the Tit block on Main street
has been fitted up tor band rooms
and make very comfortable quarters.
The new organization contains many
old players, including G. A. Gile aud
c. b. Greene and under the leadership
OF Porter Greene, who rs a musician
of more than usual ability, having
played for a number of years with the
Brigade Band in st. Albans, there is
no reason why Morrisville should not
have one of the leading bands in
northern Vermont.
Much credit for the present condi-
tion of the band is due D. A. Sanders,
who, as a leader, has worked hard
for the past two years to keep the
orga nization together. Don remains
an active member of the new organi-
ZatiOn.

Fifteenth Wedding Anniversary

About fifty of the friends of Mr.. anC
Mrs. j. F. Thomas gathered at theil
pleasant home on Elmore road last
Saturday evening to assist them in
the celebration of the fifteenth ami
versary of their marriage, which
happy event fell on Saturday last
The host and hostess we're given a
genuine surprise and were not aware
of the plans OF their friends until the
latter began to oarrive a little too nu-
merous to be counted as "callers," as
the first arrivals had succeeded in
doing. A large number of the COM
pany were Graugers aud the attend
ance would have been much larger
had the weather conditions been more
favorable. Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
soon recovered from their surprise
and took their places as host and
hostess in their well known hospita BILE
manner. The evening was very pleas
antly spent in social intercourse,
games, and music having a conspicu'
Gus place In the program, a quartet
composed of four young ncen being
much enjoyed. Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
were presented with a. purse OF money
by the guests, Herbert l., Delano

his usual inimitable manner. Refresh
ments OF cake and coffee were served.

Burglary at Craftsbury

On Saturday night, Sept. 9, the
store of Sawyer & Uric of Craftsbury
was broken into and sum of money,
about 5000, was taken. No trace of
the burglar could be found, but after
few days suspicion pointed to Ber-
ME T. Cole, youth of about 20, liv-
ing at that place. Last Saturday,
just a week after the theft, the boy
evidently became uneasy and in the
early morning OF Sunday he tramped
over the mountain to Wolcott, where
he hired a man to carry him to Hyde
Park. At that place he took dinner
and was carried to Johnson, where
he remained until Monday morning,
when he took the train, buying a
mileage. He tried to use the same on
the b. & L. road and it was through
this that track of him was obtained.
He talked with the conductor about
going to Plattsburg.
Monday morning, Mr.. Sawyer, who
is a deputy sheriff, started after him
and went to Hyde Park, where he en-
gagged the services of A. d. Robbins.
They went to Johnson and there
learned the above facts. They traced
the boy to Burlington but did not ind
him and their conclusion was that he
took the train ior Albany at that
place.
The young man was implicated in
scrape exactly like this about a year
ago, when the sa me store was entered
and the same amount taken. His
parents fixed up the matter and he
was placed on probation The gen.
eral supposition is that the man will
drift homeward after his money is
gone and soon be in the tolls.
