Messrs. Il. A. Turkheim. j. Ianesky

reached TO begin at once hot cam

Tho Hebrews of Hampton have
been forced to worship In inadequate

termination has been arrived at to
have place of worship worthy of the

small one, is made up Of determined
men and women and the Hebrews de,
clare that early in the spring the new

A sensation was created during the

lines in certain portions of the county
without having franchise from the

Mr.. l.. B. Manville, the general man

before the board. He said he thought
the company had the franchise and
asked to be allowed time in which TO
look into the, matter. According to
Clerk of the Courts Harry H. Holt
there Is no record of any franchises
having been granted the company to
build its lines from the Normal school
corner to Phoebus. The company
was ut work on that road putting In

Re suscitation.

The possibilities of direct connection
between Rutland and Montpelier with
out having to take roundabout route to
Bellows Falls or Essex junction now
seem much brighter. The project is for
direct electrical line from Rutland
through the mountains to Woodstock
and Bethel connecting at the latter place
with the Central Vermont to Montpelier
Application for charter will be made
this spring. While the amount of traffic
between Rutland and Bethel or Wood
stock is not large, it is presumed that
this condition has been compulsory as
the result of the necessity of using the
stage route, which is slow and laborious
and during the winter, more or less of a
hardship to travellers. The PROPOSE ton
is to introduce a freight service along the
route of the electric road for the benefit
of farmers, who would thus be enabled
to send their produce to market cheaper.

4%S Remedy,t

The strenuous life of modern times
forces people to rush through their meals
hastily, hurrying from the table in the
mad rush after the almighty dollar.
The result is incomplete digestion, in
Illumination OF the walls of the stomach
and lack of secretion of the gastric juices
ending in chronic stomach trouble and
nervous breakdown.
How much better it would be to eat
more slowly, cure the stomach trouble
with Mona, and soon regain perfect
health. The headaches, sleeplessness,
nervous troubles, pain after eating,
specks before the eyes, backaches. melan
choly and gloomy foreboding would be
soon overcome and perfect health and
strength would be restored.
Proper treatment of the weakened
digestive system with Mi-o-na will cure
every case of stomach trouble. The
results of this treatment are so astonish-
ing and so pronounced, that those who
have tried it never fail to appreciate its
value as healing agent.
So reliable is Mi.o-na in curing all
forms of stomach weakness and troubles
that w. H. Sheldon gives a signed
guarantee that the remedy will cost
nothing unless it cures. Each box of
Mona sells for 80 cents, and is invalu.
able to anyone who suffers with indi.
gestion, nervousness or weak stomach.
