1t does seem TO be conclusive evidence
that the second class license IS a good
paying one, from the fact that there
are eight applications for that class
privilege in Montpelier, two by holders
Of similar license last year and one
by former commissioner Then, too,
the Montpelier Journal contends that
the second class privilege will be par
ticularly valuable this year because near
" all Washington county is dry" The
license commissioners evidently had
these things in view when they raised
the price Of the second class to the
maximum amount, $1,000. The com
missioners in Ludlow have the same
views, perhaps; they have raised the
cost Of the second class license to the
maximum amount.

A SOUTHERNER'S GOOD
FORTUNE
Sam Hoover Finds Something Better
Than Gold Mines.

There is no happier man in this whole
wide world to-day than Sam a. Hoover,
of Greensboro, N. c., who is receiving
the congratulations of his friends upon
his fortunate find of something better
than gold mines or oil wells. Mr.. Hoo
Yer, in a letter to a friend in Barre,
writes:
three months ago | was greatly
distressed by nasal eatarrh and entire
deafness in the right ear. The labor
of hawking and scraping to get my
throat and nasal passages free from the
foul secretions deposited there might
be about equal to that of six mule
team with a road -scraper to get the
earth from the roadside to the center.
Il purchased an ontfit of Hyonei and
Hyomei Balm, and as result of its
use my head, throat and nasal passages
are all free from secretions of any sort,
only as Nature designed, and my hear
ing in both ears is nearly as acute as it
ever was"
There is no disagreeable stomach dos
ing in using Hyomei; just breathe it
and its pure fragrance win kill the ca
tarrhal germs in the head, throat and
lungs. Hyomei Balm, used in connec-
ton with Hyomei, will cure the worst
case Of catarrhal deafness.
The complete outfit costs but $1.00
and extra bottles are only so cents. Ask
Rickert & Wells to show you the strong
guarantee under which they sell Hyo-
mel. 1t costs nothing unless it cures.

The Baptists and the Congregational
lists will not fight, just because the for
mer had no hesitancy in accepting a
100000 check from John d. Rockefeller
and the latter had qualms over it. The
difference in their positions may be par
TALLY accounted for by the fact that
Rockefeller has been constant contribu-
tor to the missionary activities of the
Baptist church with which denomination
he il connected. The check to the Bap-
lists, however, comes at rather an en-
barassing stage Of the discussion, and
another for the same amount, following
in rapid succession, rather heightens the
effect.
