Prohibition In ST. JohnsburY.

Force.
Rev. W. R. Davenport OF Barre has re-
Gently visited our village to look up the
temperance situation and contributes his
observations to the July issue OF the Yer
mont Issue, the organ of the Vermont
Anti Saloon League of which he is the
editor
From a temperance standpoint St.
Johnsbury may well be called a model
town. This does not mean that the
millennium has come here or elsewhere.
Booze is not yet an unknown quantity,
nor has the expressmen ceased to deliver
occasional packages OF wet goods from
Woodsville. The bootlegger is sometimes
in evidence but his income is precarious
and his occupation dangerous.
Well informed men declare that con-
ditions are better now than for long
time past. They are better than during
the last days of the old prohibitory law
when the village "agency" dispensed
freely to many who purchased for exhil-
iration rather than for stimulation. The
lid is on" in the eastern scale city and
it seems likely to stay on, since most OF
the people OF the place are sitting on it.
Many factors unite to restrain the
traffic in St. Johnsbury. In the first
place the leading men OF the place
the men who are at the head OF
the great business enterprlses-are
opposed to anything that savors Of
drunkenness. They are not Sin favor OF
the law but agin its enforcement" but are
ready to stand behind the officials in
strict discharge of their duties. Nor do
the leading citizens want one law for the
poor man and another for themselves.
As rule, they keep no wine in their
own cellars, and are as abstinent as they
wish their employees to be.
Almost without exception the churches
are unit in their attitude and take con-
certed measures to abolish illicit selling
and render forever impossible the legaliz-
ing OF intoxicants. And when it is re-
membered that, with the possible excep-
ton of Brattleboro, more people pro-
potionately attend church in st. Johns
bury than in any other large town in the
state, the influence of the church-goine
element is seen.
The March votes would also indicate
that the rank and file of the people, a.
we'll as the classes already mentioned
are thoroughly in sympathy with all pos
sible restrictions on the traffic and ar
determined to destroy itroot and branch
The March vote on the question of licens
! for the three years is as follows:

There are two good rules
which ought to be written on every

bad about anybody unless you
positively know it is true, and
never tellev that unless you feel
that it is absolutely necessary and
that God is listening while you
tell it,"

Current Press Comment.

The refusal of Bellows Falls to accept
$4,000 from Andrew Carnegie for a
library building, under the usual con-
ditions of furnishing a site and OF
providing $4,000 annually for the
the library's support, is the occasion OF
considerable discussion by Vermont
newspapers. 1t is presumed that Bellows
Falls citizens best know their business.
The town is heavily in debt, and under
all the circumstances it seems that their
decision was wise. Furthermore, there
are communities that like to be independ-
ent in such matters.-[ Rutland News.

Our good friend the st. Adams Messen-
ger would have people think that the
state is being raked with fine tooth
comb to find a man who will run against
Fletcher D. Proctor for governor. The
Messenger can't really believe this is so,
for it ought to know that there are al
ways several men in the state hungering
for the Office, men who don't have to be
invited to enter the lists, men who just
fairly ache for the chance to serve the
commonwealth Hardwick Gazette.

Bank President NHenry E. HutchisOn, of the Brooklyn, N. Y., Bank, Recommends Mucu-
 Tone to Catarrhal Sufferers.

"A bank presidents testimonial s not to be had every day" said MT. F.. C. Fowler. our local druggist as he referred to the testimonial of MT. Hutchinson. You know that the more prominent a man is in business affairs the more retlcent he becomes. that makes the letter of MT. Hutchinson all the stronger"
 After suffering four weeks with an aggravating catarrhal cold which kept me awake nights and not receiving any benefit from my family physician or other remedies, I purchased q small bottle of Mucutone, within forty-eight hours l was greatly relieved and in less than a week entirely cured. give this testimonial unsolicited. wish ing others to know of this valuable remedy. "-Henry E. Hutchinson.
 Mir. Fowler says: This testimonial of MT. Hutchinson, who is President of the Brooklyn Bank and chairman of the State Bankers Association and has been resident of Brooklyn since 1869 Is but one of the many testimonials furnished for ReXall MucuTone. "I couldn't afford to and would not pub fish these testimonials if they were n Jt true. Sometimes I feel that testimo- nials we receive do not half express the real value of this remedy. My con- fidence in it is so great that if any, one is suffering from a hanging on cold, catarrh or run down system, or in any way need a tonic 1 will be very glad to sell them a trial bottle for fifty cents and guarantee it to give satisfac- tion or refund the price."-E. G. Fowl CT, Druggist.

MONTGOMERY MOTHERS
DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN GROW
 UP THIN AND PALE.
When We Guarantee VinOI Win Make Them Strong, Robust and
 Healthy,

T wish every mother in Montgomery could know what Vinol will do for their little ones who are weak, thin legged, hollow checked and bloodless," said Druggist E. G. Fowler. 'It seems almost wicked for parents to le- their children grow up weak, puny, ailfng and nervous and if fathers and moth- CTS would only give such children Vi- moi you would see a great difference tn the younger generation in this vicIn- ity.
 "VinoI is just the tonic growing chill dren need, as it builds them up and creates flesh and strength so rapidly It contains in a highly concentrated form all of the medicinal, body build- ing clements of cod liver oil. without a drop of oil or grease. and no sicken- ing drugs Children love 1t because 1t is SO delicious to the taste, and you know what you are giving your little ones
 Continued Mir. Fowler: T am con- tinuaIly hearing of so much good it is doing, not only children, but the weak, aged, rundown. tired and debilitated that I cannot help being enthusiastic in regard to Vinol.
 'T wish every mother in Montgomery would try vinol. on our guarantee that if 1t does not do their little ones all the good we claim we will refund all the money paid us for the medicine. It seems as though it was the duty of every mother In Montgomery to accept this offer." E.. c. FowIers prug@ist. |.

In the hands of a magistrate who is stern to .aw-breakers and who gives only mercy where mercy Is merItad.

In the eantime Rush fingers in the city prison.
 The cabby made an engagement with Harry Peacock to take the latter to an early morning train to Montgomery yesterday and failed to show up. Mir. Peacock, waiting for the hack and de- pending on the hackman, missed his train. and couldn't leave the city until late yesterday afternoon. He was go- ing to Decatur on an important busl- ness mission, and his delayed arrival there caused him much inconvenience. w. R. Peacock, President of the City Council. appeared in court this morn ing and testified against the negro.
 Rush claimed that his hack broke down, but the court decided that if tho hack did break down the cabby owed it to MT. Peacock to SO notify him in order that he might catch his train.
 The city ordinance governing the charge was not at hand and the Mayor postponed the sentence, finding the negro guilty.
