IMP OF INDIGESTION.
HOW TO GET THE BETTER OF THIS
CAUSE OF MISERY.


A scientific writer upon stomach
troubles says: "If you have ever suf-
fered from Indigestion who has
not ?-your imagination has probably
pictured a ferocious little imp dancing
in the pit of your stomach, causing
that organ to neglect all of its duties,
with a result that is not only painful
bu fills you with misery from day to
day." This writer certainly had suf-
fered with indigestion, for there is no
more disagreeable, nerve-racking and
sick-all-over disease than Indigestion.
A great many people who have been
treated for years for diseases of the
heart, liver or kidneys when they used
Mi-o-na stomach tablets found that not
only did Mi-o-na cure the stomach dis
order. but it made them well all over
and the other troubles were also cured.
If you suffer with nervousness,
sleeplessness, Indigestion, sick or ner-
vous headache pains in the back or
sides, get a SOC box of Mi-o-na from J.
NJ Taylor and take one of the little
tablets before each meal. 1t will do
you a world of good and you will soon
be we'll and free from indigestion, and
it's symptoms. J. NJ Taylor has SO
much faith in this medicine that he
gives an absolute guarantee with every
box. Ask him to show you this guar

ANNUAL FAIR.
TUESDAY.

Tuesday, the opening DAY OF the
fair recorded an unusually good
attendance for the first day, which
is considered simply as day of
preparation. The upper grounds
were busy with the setting up of
tents and fakirs were interested
to get at the business of fleeing
the good natured crowd that
would congregate on the grounds
Wednesday and Thursday. There
seemed to be more venders of fair
lemonade, candy, ice cream, and
fruit than usual to say nothing
of the games and of course the
merry gO-round was already for
business. Browns Eating House
was a familiar landmark and was
all in running order. The Enter
tainers gave an opening perform
ance, and the first race came off
successfully.
WEDNESDAY.
The middle day Of the fair
dawned bright and hot and with
the earliest hours of the morn
ing teams Of all descriptions be-
gan to wend their way to the fair
ground. About five thousand peo-
pie were on the grounds.
FLETCHER d. PROCTOR.
Fletcher d. Proctor arrived
during the morning and at half
past eleven he was introduced by
ID. S. Conant and spoke briefly.
His sense of the eternal firmness
of things led him to discuss Yer
mont and it's progress and to
eschew politics. The most inter
esting part of his talk was his de-
mand that Vermont keep up
system of good SCHOOLS and good
roads. He said that the most any
man could hope to do for his
children was to give them a good
education and the state should
at least furnish them the best
common school education to be
had. His good road recommends
tions drifted off into a discussion
of the automobile question. He
used a goodly amount of common
sense regarding the subject, ask
ing that the horse be given a fair
chance, and that narrow, hilly |
roads should not be used by them.
He gave a few figures showing
our Industrial progress, proving
that with all this industrial prog
ress, agriculture still laads He |
closed by saying, "Instead of this
unjust and unmean
ing scolding about the past, in
stead of this cynical criticism of |
the present, let us all take hold to
make Vermont better for Yer
monters." His speech was greet
ed with great applause through
out.
The racing began about ten
o'clock in the morning and lasted
the afternoon. The races
had to be divided into two divi-
Sions as there were so many en-
tries.
The spectacular feat of the
track occurred about four o'clock
Wednesday afternoon during the
exhibition mile. The stallion
BOvar, driven by j. E. Marston of
N. H., one of the most
expert drivers in New England,
was just taking the first turn
when the rein broke, making the
lOrse run wild. Without a sec
Dnds hesitation Marston leaped
rom the sullly to the horses back,
md then reached for it's nOstrils,
off its wind and bringing
t to a full stop. The incident
'aused the widest enthusiasm as
he center of the track was filled
With teams, and the prospect of
lOrse running wild was one filled
With grave dangers.

Little Roy Piercy, son Of Rog-

child and we miss him, Oh, so

brown eyes.

Forest Hill to await the great
judgement morning. Then we
expect to meet our precious dar-
ling and clasp him again to our
bosom. Sleep on, little one, and
take thy rest. We would not
bring YOU back to suffer and die
AGAIN for Jesus has said, suffer
the little ones to come unto me,
and forbid them not for OF such
is the kingdom Of heaven. We
know He has.said that He would
Gather the lambs in his arms and
carry them in His bosom. Then
weep no more parents for little
Row is safe in Jesus bosom, rest
ing in His arms of love, where
he is safe from the storms Of
this sinful world. Let US look in
our sorrow to Him who has said
when thou passeth through the
waters | will be with thee and
through the rivers they shall not
overflow thee for | am the Lord
|thy God.
Weeping may endure for anight
but JOY cometh in the morning.
Remember God shall wipe away
all tears from our eyes and there
shall be no more deaCn neltiler
sorrow nor crying, neither shall
there be any more pain.
Farewell little darling till we
meet again. Little Roy is gone
but not forgotten. Gone from
Ibis land of toll and pain. But
b heaven we shall meet him.
There We'll never part again.
