Burning the Cotton.

Reports have been current for some
time of an organized movement among
southern planters, cotton factors and
bankers to destroy large quantity of the
staple in order to improve the price OF the
remainder. 1t was hard to believe this:
nevertheless 1t appears that the burning
OF cotton has begun, and is expected to
extend throughout the South. The plan
seems to be to wipe out 2,OOO 900 bales in
TINS way and several Georgia towns are
reported to have already destroyed their
allotment of the amount At Fort Gaines
wednesday 5000 bales were piled up in
the court house square and the torch APP
piled while a procession of farmers and
merchants marched around singing hymns
ana otherwise investing the proceeding
with all the features of an earnest, solemn
protest against the present low prices of
cotton, and a determination not to sub
NIT Springfield Republican.

money kept in Vermont to foster Vermont

The Hyde Park bank holds the record of
having never owned a poor note since it's
organization in January, 1889; a fact which
is easily accounted for when 1t is consid-
cred that the loans are all in Vermont and
the security therefor where it can easily
be examined by bank officials Abso-
lutte safety rather than the high rate
OF interest that can be secured on west

| is Away. my lord or my MASTER She
has absolutely no part in society; she may
not make herself heard; she has no opin-
| ion; she , ay not seat herself in the COM
pany Of IN. 1t is gross breach Of ct
iquette t. ask a husband how his wife is.
How is your house,? is the limit Of cour-
tesy even among old friends. Affect sub
mission at home has created in the woman
a sense OF helplessness and bewildermeIit
abroad. She is as lost as a nun might
be. The custom which prescribes her
conduct towards her husband Is far strict
er In its regulations Of her behaviour
towards others of his sex. Whether a
woman be old or young lays down Manu-
the lawgver she must ever be dependent
In her childhood, she must be in subjec-
ton to her parents; in her youth to her
husband; and in her old age, to her chill
dren.' And from highest to lowest from
purdah- nashin to peasant wench this rule
is inflexibly adhered to- 1t is ladies last
and ladies least in every grade Of socl-
ety."
Some of the many-sided phases and pc
culiarities Of the life of the people OF In
dia are thus summarized:
1t is "A country where everybody ha-
bitually sits on the ground and eats OFF
the floor, and throws away the food that
cannot be eaten at meal, and often the
crockery ware after once using It: where
and customary. In not few castles to
strip naked for dinner; where three men
out OF four consider Defeating worse
than cannabalism, and the fourth is NOR
ally convinced that ham sandwich could
send him to hell; where vegetarianism is
the rule. and never an egg is used in cook
ing. where there are a hundred sweet
meat shops to one public house, and a ma
tive restaurant is an absolutely unknown
thing; where everyone smokes, but the
same pipe travels from mouth to mouth /.
where everyone washes, but no one uses
soap; where not one woman in a hun
dred and fifty, can read.
"A country where boys are husbands be-
fore they have shed their baby teeth, and
brides are married in their cradles occa-
sionally: where there are no unmarried
girls under fourteen. and many widows
Of half that age, where there is no court
ing before marriage, and a husband may
not notice his wife in public, nor a wife
so much as pronounce her husbands
name; where husbands and wives cannot
travel in the same railway carriage third
class; where you never see a lady" in
the streets, and to address one would be
considered a gross insult.
"A country where men shave their
heads more than their chins, and widows
are compelled to go bald Though I'm this
conjunction We may call to mind that
less than "A hundred years ago widowed
ladies in England customarily had their
heads shay a. and wore wigs i'm order
to supply %" deficiency. where wives
wear a nose ring I'm token of being in a
state of subsection to their husbands;
where there is sorrow over daughters
birth, and joicing or at least satisfac-
tion, over "a widow death. where a man

The annual meeting of the village for
the election of officers will be held Monday
evening, Jan. 90, and a caucus will be
held tomorrow evening for the nomination
of candidates for offices. The annual re-
ports of the officers of the past year
will show about the same amounts eX-
pended i'm the different departments, eX-
cept in the water department. This has
taken the $4,000 appropriation i'm the
raising of the dam of the water supply.
1t has been in the hands of a good COM
mittee and it is an excellent investment.
An untrue statement has gained currency
during the past week to the effect that
the actual raising of the dam in the end
was less than foot when the appro-
pration was exhausted The report of
the committee will show the increased
height of water before it overnows will
be a little over five feet, nearly six.
The dam is safely constructed so as to
allow it to be raised at any time needed
in the future to a height of 10 feet, or
more, above the old level
The appropriation of the village at a
later meeting allowed the commissioners
to buy the land of the Morgan estate,
for which $1,000 was paid, and they at once
sold the timber on the land for $1,000 cash,
so the net cost was only 5000 On open
ing negotiations with other land owners
about the pond the commissioners found
that the price of w. II. Grswold for the
land on the south was $500 for the farm
of 60 acres, while that of l.. r. Lowell
for what was necessary was $500. The
committee and commissioners agreed
that it would be best to let the pond fill
up and ascertain how much land was
overlooked before settling for it, and
therefore no money has been expended
in that direction. In case an agreement
for settlement cannot be reached for the
actual damage appeal can be had to a
board of commissioners to appraise the
damage. At a special meeting of the
village, July s, called for the purpose,
an amount, not exceeding $500 was APP
propriated for the purpose of buying
land in the water shed of the pond. 1t
will be seen by the above statement that
only net amount of 5000 has been used
thus far.

home on Westminster Terrace Tuesday
morning and the funeral occurred this
forenoon from his late residence, the
body being taken to Springfield for inter-
ment. Since 1875 Mr.. Thompson has

gagged in the manufacture of scythe

first engaged in the same manufacture
in connection with Derby & Ball, and in
1882 he became partner in the firm of
Moore, Arms q Thompson, which firm
erected the present Moore & Thompson
paper mill. Since then Mr.. Thompson
has devoted his energies to the manufac-
ture of paper, and accumulated a large
property. He leaves a wife and two
sons, Henry r., an attorney of Helena,
Mont, and Fred L. a superintendent of
the paper mill. Mr.. Thompson had for
a long term of years been connected
with the banks of Springfield and Bellows
Falls being a director of the National
bank and a trustee of the Savings insti-
tuition at the time of his death.
