MT. VERNON.

Since our last letter Walter Hen ry and Miss Elvie Hampton were married, Rev. c. C. Brown ofic- iating. Edgar Mum moved his effects to Heber last week. Our best wishes follow him and his ex- cellent wife to their new home. ... MT. Harmon and wife, nee Miss Lillian Ingram of Conway, were here the past week looking after their real estate, the Dr. J. F. Powers old home place, and may move here soon. A welcome goes in advance to such good people to move in :. Hotel Sanders IS crowd ed with drummers of late. Our town has become quite meat mar ket, selling out four beeves and 200 to 400 pounds of pork each Saturday, besides meat sold on other days. The sales of merchant disc here will average from $50 to S2oo per day the year round. Our people are hustling set and make lots of stuff. We have one of the best upland farming sections in the state Tom Hogan has ginned I55 bales of cotton to date. .... MT. and Mrs. w. c. Langford of Naylor were here the past week visiting Dr. Watson's family and trading, too. John Flippen of Little Rock, whose health is not good, is visiting his brother, H. B. Flippen, near here. MT. Flip pen has been in the employ of the Gus Blass Dry Goods Go. for long while as city collector and bookkeeper. We trust his health will be regained. We appreciate very much MT. Donaghey's speech at Morrilton, as published in The Log Cabin Democrat. MT. Don- aghey is all right and will no doubt be our next governor. ....R. G. Campbell of Naylor was here last Friday buying lumber and shingles to finish up his new home. Pleas ant Valley is coming to the front by having such men as MT. Camp bell, Dr. Reynolds and others to push her forward -. The new bridge at the Henson ford on Mud dy Bayou is quite an addition and a great convenience to the travel ing public. We can cross all high water to Conway by this route. Let our roads be made still better by grading higher and better drain age. They are 50 per cent better since the new road law passed. We regret to see MT. McHenry, our efficient road commissioner, turned out. We hope, however, our road overseers will keep the interest up until our roads are per feet. Our recent visit to Con- way was pleasant one. It IS no doubt an ideal town for a home among such a refined and pleasant people. They show their full appreciation of good people who cast their lot with them. Con- way has many beautiful streets and lovely homes. These attractions, with her colleges and the State Normal building assured, surely bespeaks for Conway brilliant fu- ture.

The treasury department has just
let the contract for the first derelict
destroyer that has ever been owned
by this government. It is expected
that she will be completed in about a
year. She will be a staunch, ocean
going craft, armed with light guns
and with gun platforms built into her
so that she can be converted at need
into cruiser scout. She will carry
q regular crew, of course, but in addi-
ton she will have number of skilled
engineers on her payroll. Her fight
ing equipment will be dynamite, and
her mission will be to hunt out dere-
licts reported by the photographic
Office and blow them up. These float
ing menaces to commerce are being
continually reported in the great lanes
of ocean travel, and heretofore the
only thing that vessels could do wal
to avoid them. Now when they art
reported by incoming steamers, they
will be hunted down and wiped out.

The town of Deer Isle has emphatically
stamped approval on the joint school
superintendent plan. For several years
the town has united with other towns and
employed joint superintendent Of
schools. The same plan was endorsed at
the regular town meeting this spring,
but q number Of disafiectionists sufficient
to call special town meeting got together.
The special town meeting was held last
week, and the proposition to 20 back to
the old system was SO overwhelmingly
defeated that the handful of men who
favored the scheme and called the meet
ing hid themselves in the crowd, and did
not speak at the meeting. The Deer Isle
Messenger says: IAN attempt was being
made to overthrow our school system
best we ever had; not perfect, but q nearer
approach to perfection than anything we
ever enjoyed before; and when few men
seek to abolish it without offering an inn
provement, it is plainly evident that they
have got the rank and file Of the progress
i've citizens OF this town to deal with.
The people Of this town are loyal to our
schools; they have, as q whole, supported
them nobly, and will continue to do SO;
they are ever ready to entertain a sugges-
ton for their improvement, but their
motto is: NO steps backward

With the President out of town and
the number of political visitors con-
sequently and increasingly diminish
ing, there is dearth OF political talk
at Washington. The announcement
that Secretary Taft had been taken
suddenly and seriously i'll at st. Paul
on his western trip, created unea
ness at the war department.. There is
intense interest in the secretary as a
presidential possibility, and the news
of his collapse in st. Paul was great
shock, especially as during the whole
of his term both in Washington and
the Philippines, he has shown the
most rugged constitution, and was the
last man in the department who was
expected to give way physically. The
latest news is that accounts of his ILL.,
ness have been exaggerated.

The Frank A. Robbins Circus.
The late spring may have had its dis
eouragements, but it didn't delay the
coming of the circus = the event that
makes the heart OF the small boy beat
quicker, and induces him to save his
pennies that he may not miss the show.
It's the Frank 4. Robbins Co.'S show
this time-due here on Thursday, June q,
just week before the Fourth of July,
and in the absence of celebration Of that
event in Ellsworth on that day this year,
the two events will here be rolled into
! one.
| The Robbins show-circus. menagerie
and hippodrome all rolled into one-rep-
resents a new departure that may not be
inaptly labelled as gigantic. 1t is an evo-
luton of the brain of Manager Robbins
himself, and it is one the realization of
which has required many years Of labo-
rious preparation, careful and most expert
training and great expense.
The present season is signalized by its
| first public introduction, which involves
| the simultaneous congregation in one
arena of almost every species of wild and
| domesticsted beast which can be trained
and safely shown in the open before an
| audience. In this huge, homogeneous as
semblage of highly-educated and phe-
nomenally- proficient 1uadrupeds are in
cluded elephants, zebras, water buffalo,
camels, dogs, goats, horses, llamas, ponies,
donkeys, dromedaries, mules, bears, mon
keys and sacred cattle, and the resulting
stupendous and Kaleidoscope spectacle of
astonishing action, contrasted rivalry and
furore of fun can neither be imagined nor
described.
1t really looks as If big section of the
promised millennium had broke loose,
and got here ahead of time.
Besides the standard gay, glittering,
geological and spectacular features char
acteristic of the bigger circuses, the Rob-
bins aggregation announces new his
torical addition of uncommon pomp and
tention as a splendid and striking inno-
walton. This luxurious and living pa
geant is termed 1.-THE Tribunal of Ma
tionsn, and its composition seems to JUS
| tify the comprehensive title. 1t consists
OF number of gorgeous floats, drawn by
magnificently caparisoned horses, upon
which appear in heroic groups and royal
tableaux representatives of the most ia
nous warriors and rulers of both ancient
and modern times.
| There will be no postponemcnt on ae-
count OF the weather. Thursday, June "a,
is the date The boys will remember it,
possibly some Of the men.

The department of justice will in
stitIte suit in few days against the
so-called powder trust. 1t is said
that this is one of the most powerful
and effective of all the trusts, and the
place where the shoe pinches the gov
eminent particularly is that the trust
has suppressed all but the most nomi-
nal competition in bids for govern
ment powder. 1t owns all the mills
that can fill the government con-
tracts, and duplicate bids are always
submitted. 1t is said that should a
war break out as things are now, the
government would be completely at
the mercy of the powder monopoly,
and would have to pay any price it
chose to demand for its product.

JUDGE WOODLAND DEAD.
Appointed Justice After Death OF
Chief Justice Wiswell.

Appointed Justice After Death OF
!! Chief Justice Wiswell.
Justice Charles F. Woodland, Of the
Maine supreme court, died Monday, of
apoplexy. Justice Woodland last Novem-
Der suffered an attack Of pneumonia from,
which a complication of troubles arose
and he never regained his health. He
was taken ill while sitting at the June
term OF the law court in Bangor about a
week ago.
Charles Fuller Woodland was born in
Bangor April 10, 1siS. He attended the
Bangor schools in his early youth and in
the fall OF 1865 entered Phillips Exeter
academy, from which institution he was
graduated in 1865. He entered Harvard
university in the fall of that year and was
graduated in the class OF 1S-0. At the
close OF his college course he remained
for two years in law school.
Mr. Woodland completed his law studies
in the Office OF Peters & Wilson, the firm
being composed OF the late Hon. John A.
Peters and Franklin A. Wilson. In Oc-
tober, 1872, he was admitted to the Penob-
scot bar and for short time he practiced
alone. He then entered into partnership
with franklin A. Wilson, and the firm of
Wilson & Woodland continued until 1890,
when it was discontinued, though both
lawyers occupied adjoining Offices in the
Morse Oliver building. He was admitted
to practice in the United States circuit
courts.
On Dec. Z, 1906, Mr.. Woodland received
his appointment as associate justice on
the supreme beach Of Maine, to fill the
vacancy caused by the promotion OF JUS
tice Emery to be chief justice in the place
OF the late Hon. Andrew P. Wiswell.
As q lawyer he ranked as one Of the
leaders OF the bar in Maine. Before his
appointment to the bench he was the at
torney of the Maine Central railroad in
Bangor and conducted many important
cases for the corporation. He was at
torney also for the Great Northern Paper
| Co., the Canadian Pacific and for many
other corporations.
He was unable to sit at the two terms oil
court assigned to him after his appoint
ment, and the only occasion on which he
occupied the bench was at the recent June
term OF the law court, before the close Of
which he was attacked by the illness
which was his last.

The rate with which automobiles are
multiplying in Maine is opening the eyes
of the anti-au.oists to the tact that they
have something more than fad to reckon
with. The first automobile r. f. d. has
been established in Hancock county, and
the first regular automobile passenger line,
whose rolling stock consists OF one auto
mobile with capacity for twenty five
passengers, has been established in Saga
dahoc county. The rural communities
which threw up their hands in alright at
the auto-terror may yet find it boon.
The total number of automobiles regis
tered in Maine during the present year is
425, and the number which has been
registered since the law went into effect in
the spring of 1906 is 1910. The spplica-
lions for registration are still coming in
fast, and it will not be long at the present
rate before the number in the State will
pass the 1900 mark.

Woman is often referred to BY man as
doubling his joys and halying his sorrowsn.
That may be complimentary, but it would
seem to be rather hard on the woman. For in
plain terms 1t means that where things are
going well with the man his wife makes them
go better. But when things are going in with
him. ne expects the wife to share half his
burden. And there's more truth than poetry
in this presentation of masculine selfish ness
Men don't appreciate the fact that the strain
OF motherhood alone is a burden bigger than
all the loads that rest upon male shoulders
They see the wife grow thin, pale, nervous
and worn without thought that she is over
burdened. Among the pleasant letters re-
ceived by DIR. Pierce are those from husbands
who have walked up, before it was too late, to
the crushing burdens laid upon the wife. and
in the search for help have found in Cr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription restorative
which has given back to the mother the health
of the maiden and the maiden's happiness
'Favorite Prescription ai,pays helps, and
almost always cures. 1t has perfectly cured
ninety-eight out Of every hundred women
who have used 1t when afflicted with diseas es
peculiar to women.
