Il there is any class of citizens more
foolish than those who are advocating
the abolition of the State University
Il is those who insist upon breaking
up the Normal Schools. Just on gen
eral principles it is a bad thing to
abolish an educational institution OF
any kind. = Charleston Gazette.
That's all true, very true, but edu.
catonal institutions are sometimes

The Telegraph is unfortunate in its

a Beautiful Book.

The American Publishing Company of
this town is receiving some very hand
some compliments from the press on
their new book, the "Home Library"
The following from the Boston Herald of
Jan. is fair sample. "The initial
volume of the "Home Library" issued
by the American Publishing Company,
Middlebury, Vt, is made up of prose and
poetry selected from the best authors of
all ages, including secular religious,
historical, philosophical and humorous,
and a short biographical sketch of each
writer. Each selection is accompanied
by one or more beautiful half-tone
engravings, accurate representations of
the subjects. 1t is an octave volume of
400 pages and the care shown in the
selections which have stood the test of
popularity for years, makes it an excel
lent book of reference and delightful
companion in the home circle.
1t is a book which should be in every
home, and is especially valuable to Mid
dlebury people as it contains some very
handsome views of this vicinity. The
price is only 81 and can be seen at the
Register Book store.

John E. Harris, in one of his Washing
ton letters gives some facts and conclu-
sions about the colored population at the
Capitol. He remarks:
The citv has now nearly $50 600
of which about 100000 are
more coloi d people residing in this CITY
than there are in any state in the union
or in any other one city or country in the
world. Practically every third person
one meets here is colored, and sometimes
it seems as if they all were And re-
markable thing about it is that the dark
er the man is, the more his name is likely
to be white A coal-black negro girl
is dead sure to be named either Lily or
Blanche White. That is, if her name
isn't Esmeralda johnson. There are 1880
Johnsons in the city. three-fourths Of
whom are colored. Comparatively few
are christened George Washington, as
they all were once, and George is evident
" losing caste. There are % 900 Smiths
in the city, leading the directory, only a
few of whom are colored. Next to the
Johnsons, and very close, are the Browns
more than half very brown. A bright
reliable and we'll behaved colored person
and there are thousands of them-is as
good citizen as a white man. A colored
person who insists on doing or being some
thing which neither common sense nor
education allows him to do or be is
either pestiferous nuisance or danger
Gus brute. There are also many of him.
Possibly all this can also be said of
white people, and | haven't solved the
colored problem, after all.

New Industry for Vergennes.

\ special city meeting has been CallGN
for Tuesday evening, January "a. to
consider the question of selling part o.
the land, and the water power, owned
by the city, to l.. F. Benton, of that place.
The property consists Of a strip of land
1Sx22 feet. situated on the east side of
Otter Creek below the fails, including
the water power which goes with the
place.
1t is not known for a certainty what
Mr.. Benton intends to do with the
property. should he gain possession of it,
but it is stated ON good authority that he
will erect a building for the manufacture
of brooms, and probably other articles.
Some two or three years ago Mr..
Benton manufactured hrooms in a small
way, and found a ready market for a
much larger supply than he was able to
turn out, going out of business because
he was unable to obtain the water power
which he desired, the one which is in
question at the present time.
This property WAS decided to the city
in 1868 and for six years was used as the
pumping station for the city wafer sup
ply but for the past thirty-One years has
been idle and a source of no income, the
city holding tenaciously to it, although
offers have been made for its purchase.
There is however, at the present time
little doubt it will be sold, and as Mr..
Benton has the reputation of being sue
cessful in all his undertakings, it is
thought probable that good sized manu-
featuring plant will be the outcome of
the present negotiations.
The business of the Nergennes School
Seat Co., recently organized here with a
capital stock of $3.50 is at a standstill
for the present, owing to slight delay in
getting a lease of the buildings in which
it is proposed to locate the industry
The matter is in the hands of j. j. Flynn
of Burlington, representing the syndicate
which owns the property. 1t is thought
that this affair will be adjusted in a few
days and the preparatory work rapidly
pushed to completion

Odd Notice in Prominent southern Paper
of Interest to Middiebury Residents.
One of the best known newspapers
in the South is the Guide" of Dunn,
n. C. Its publisher, j. p. Pitman, sends
us the following clippings with request
to publish:
"Found,-by the editor of the Guide,
a bottle of Hyomei, the wonderful treat
ment that cures catarrh without stom-
ach dosing. We can speak in highest
praise of its remarkable power to cure
and relieve catarrh of the head and
throat. This mention is made not as
an advertisement, but in the interest of
those who suffer the torture of that
terrible disease, catarrh."
In sending the clipping, MIR. Pitman
wrote the following letter:
Il enclose little piece from my
paper, issued to-day. You will see
from this that l desire to push the
selling of Hyomei as far as possible.
l am using it in my own family, and
find that it gives the desired relief,
so that | take pleasure in spreading far
and near the knowledge of this sure re-
lief for catarrh."
w. III. Sheldon, In preparation Tor the
catarrhal troubles of this season of
the year. have ordered large stock
of Hyomei, and sell it under guaran-
tee to refund the money if it does
not relieve. The complete outfit costs
but 81, and extra bottles can be obtained
for so cents. Ask him to show you the
strong guarantee under which he sells
il. This remarkable remedy mcdicatCs

WINTER EATING RUINS
STOMACHS.



w. IL. sheldon.
Think for moment of the extra strain
you put upon the stomach in the Winter.
The hearty food, the late suppers, and
the lack of exercise and out door life all
weaken and strain the stomach, laying
the foundation for poor health and
suffering.
Chronic stomach t.oubles. nervous
irritabiity, and serious bowel and
kidney diseases nave often dated from a
week Of extra good living" Nearly
every one is bothered with more or less
headaches and backaChes. furred tongue,
poor appetite, dry, hacking cough, heart
burn, spots before the eyes, dizziness or
vertigo, sleepIessness, lack Of energy.
loss of flesh or IA general weak, tired
feeling.
Now is the time when Mona is
needed to repair the ravages and wastes
the hearty eating of Winter has caused
in the stomach and digestive system.
This is the only known agent that
strengthens the stomach and digestive
organs, so they can and will readily di-
gest whatever food is eaten. a Mona
tablet taken before each meal will re-
move all irritation, inflammation and
congestion in the digestive organs. and
so strengthen them that they will eX-
tract from the food all that goes to make
good rich blood, firm muscle, and a
sound, healthy body.
This remarkable remedy costs but so
cents, and if its use dose not restore
your full vigor, vitality, and health, w.
II. Sheldon one of the best known drug
gists in this section will refund your
money. Unbounded faith like this de-
