To the Voters of the Second
District

The ability and qualification of John W.
Gordon of the city of Barre should Of
themselves insure his nomination as Con-
gresham at the district convention. A
native or Vermont, a man of 4S, edu-
Gated in our state schools, an honor grad
uate of Dartmouth, an assistant prin-
cipal in the high schools of Milford and
Worcester, Mass, a successful business
man, an enviable standing as a lawyer
since $780, four years tenure of office
as mayor of the city of Barre, with ex-
perience in town and city Offices, a public
speaker of wide reputation, thorough &C
quaintance with legislative measures, a
close student of political conditions, these
and other reasons have in the past led
many friends to urge his candidacy for
important state offices. These suggestions
he has declined heretofore.
His answer to the inquiries propounded
to him by the American Federation of
Labor in itself shows his keen insight
into the complicated issues of the day.
Some of these questions have been before
Congress in the form Of bills during the
last few years, and Mr.. Gordon's answer
indicates a thorough grasp of the prin-
ciples involved therein. In the distri-
button of seeds and post offices he has
not had experience IL is true. But should
not Congressman represent more than
this? We believe that the opportunity is
now before the voters Of this District to
send to Congress a man intellectually and
morally strong. Can you not in good
conscience assist in bringing this about?
FRIENDS OF MIR. GORDON.

"I abused my stomach, my blood got
out of order and then my face broke out
with pimples and boils, says T. e. Rob-
ertson, of 1877 Addison street, Washing
ton, Pa. "This was over two years ago.
Ny stomach was in bad shape. After
eating would have to rest awhile or I
would suffer the most severe pains in
my stomach. On arising would often
be 80 dizzy that could hardly stand up.
The slightest exertion would start my
back aching 80 that often had to SIT
down and rest awhile. At times ex-
perienced a pain around the heart which
alarmed me but which suppose came
from my stomach trouble.
81 began to break out on the face with
pimples and later with boils which con-
fined me to the house a week or more at
. time. One day I saw DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People advertised in
pamphlet which was left at the door and
/ thought would give them trial. I
took several boxes Of the pills before all
the pimples and boils left me, but am
now glad to say that my blood is good.
/ do not have any eruptions and no
longer have the head and stomach
troubles / have described. am very
grateful for what DR.. Williams Pink Pills
have done for me and have recon-
mended them and always will advise
those who are suffering from bad blood
or stomach trouble to try them"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are guaran-
teed to be safe and harmless to the most
delicate constitution. They contain no
morphine, opiate, narcotic, nor anything
to cause drug habit. They do not act
on the bowels but they actually make
new blood and strengthen the nerves.
If you want good health you must have
good blood. Bad blood is the root Of most
common diseases like an@mia, rheuma-
tism, sciatica, neuralgia, st. Vitus' dance,
nervousness, indigestion, debility, gem
eral weakness, paralysis, locomotor
ataxia and the special ailments that only
women-folk know.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists or sent, postpaid, on receipt
of price, 60c. per box, six boxes for $3.50,

HINSDALE, N. H.
The Prlmeval Forest Of Plssah May Fall
Before the Woodman's Ak.

There is considerable alarm felt that
there is danger that the primeval forest,
which contains about 1000 acres and is
located in the Pisgah mountain district
in the towns Of Hinsdale, Winchester and
Chesterfield, is to be cut down and made
into lumber on several occasions at
tempts have been made to preserve these
valuable trees, but as yet nothing has
been accomplished. These great woods
have been spared in the past by the
owners, owing to the high cost of lum-
bering them, and in the last decade the
cutting in this section has been confined
to the second-growth timber. During
the last two years the United States
bureau of forestry has made a survey of
the section in order to advise the owners
how to cut on a conservative basis. In
their report the government experts,
looking at the value of the lumber and
the best means of securing the greatest
returns, have advised the cutting of these
virgin trees, because they have ceased to
increase in yearly value. This is the
commercial side, and the side the owners
are likely to take. 1t seems a pity that
the only tract of old-growth timber in
this section of the country should be
slaughtered. During the past few years
these woods have attracted a large num-
Der Of people from different sections.
The easiest and best way to visit them
is from Hnsdale, where a couple of men
have a business acting as guides.-[Hins-

Resignation Of Rev. z. E. coburn.

Last Sunday Rev. F. e. Coburn ten
dered his resignation to the church of
which he has been the pastor the last
five years. During this time he and Mrs.
Coburn have endeared themselves to the
people, not only of the church and soci-
ETY., but to many others and to those
who have been annual visitors here dur
ing the summer season. He is full of
energy and zeal in his cause and has
spared no pains or efforts to advance the
prosperity of the church and Sunday
school, as well as being interested in
other affairs. He was instrumental, with
others, in starting the library and was
at one time the president of the library
association. Following is his letter of
resignation
Dear Fellow Workers and Friends:-
We round out today five years of
service for the Kingdom of God. During
these years God has brought us close to-
gether, granted to us many mercies,
given numerously of His favor and shown
us many reasons why we should rejoice
in our relations together as pastor and
people. In every pastorate, there comes
a time when there must be a parting of
the ways. That time with us l believe
has now come, for l feel that the action
of the Baptist church In Bernardston,
Mass, in calling me to its pastorate Is
plainly of Gods leading and that 1t Is
His will that turn from my work here
to go there. 1 therefore desire a release
from the present existing relations so as
to enter upon the work there upon July
/. Though this will sever the relations
between us it will not sever the ties that
bind us. l shall follow your course with
interest and l believe you will also follow
mine. My earnest wish and prayer is
that there may be better things in store
for us both that shall be wrought by
painstaking endeavor and earnest follow
ing in the footsteps of the Lord Jesus
Christ Yours sincerely,
+. +. COBURN.
