Patoutville, a special committee Of

eff you could eat your dinner off a
service like this said a collector of
porcelain, taking a strange bright plate
from a cabinet, "why, such a service
would be worth 100000 or more"
The plates surface was covered with
an irregular and glittering crystalline
growth a half inch high. Beautiful
crystals, in their graceful outline sug-
costing quaint pagodas and gnarled
trees, rose up everywhere from the
porcelain pattern.
1T is a growing plate" explained the
collector. at is one of those plates
whose clay, containing aluminium and
magnesium, causes an outgrowth Of
crystals under the enamel. Such plates
are very rare. l paid $1,000 for this
one Only half dozen growing plates
are known. One that belongs to a Bos-
ton collector is valued at $4,000. An
other that had belonged to poor New
York woman, who attached no value
to it, sold at auction for S3.700. 1t is
interesting to have a growing plate in
your collection. This specimen here
has put forth three crystals under that
little blue mountain design since it
came into my hands," - New York

they began to invest at home and
the result is that towns like
Springfield are having a boom and
it is a boom built upon actual
prosperity and enterprise. We
must do everything here in the
state to keep it abreast of the
other states, and one thing which
we must do is to teach our men
and women to be self-respecting,
which means our method of edu-
cation. Our schools must not
convey the impression that manu-
al labor is degrading, for it is not.
A healthy man cannot respect
himself unless he will support
himself, and he is not worthy OF
respect. Some men can support
themselves better by their brains
and some better by their hands
and both kinds of labor are dig
nified and necessary to life. The
way we can bring about a new
and greater Vermont is to stand
shoulder to shoulder, work hand
in hand, and have confidence in
each other and rejoice in their
prosperity. y

FoRTY-FIFTH WEDDING ANN
VERSARY.

There was a very pleasant gath
ering at the home of Mr.. and Mrs
G. B. Fisk Wednesday Afternoon
and evening, Jan. 9, 1907, it being
the forty-fifth anniversary of Mr.
and Mrs. Fisk's welded life. About
seventy-fve friends, young anc
old, participated in this event dur
ing the afternoon and evening, anc
all seemed to have a good time
After refreshments were served
Rev. j. G. Wright read portion Of
scripture and offered prayer. Fol
lowing this, Judge J. R. McLam
made a short address consisting Of
some spicy "reminiscences and SEN
timental reflections closing the same
by presenting in the name of friends
present and absent a purse Of twenty
five dollars as a token of esteem
This was responded to by both Nj
and Mrs. Fisk in words fitting and
expressive of their deep apprecia-
ton, and they wish it ito be said
here that not only for the gift, but
even more for that which prompted
its bestowment are they grateful.
Mr.. Fisk and wife moved here from
the Lime Kiln neighborhood in New
bury in the spring of 1901 to spend
the remainder of their days as citi-
zens of Topsham. They are public
spirited, laboring for the future
good in the community, and earnest
in the work of the church of their
choice. 1t is worthy of remark
that Mr.. Fisk is a man wonder
fully versatile in his talent, for
while he has been a farmer the
greater part of his life, he is a most
excellent carpenter, especially ex-
pert in fine, cabinet work. He
was for a time employed by the
Sturtevant Manufacturing Co. at
Lebanon, N. H. At the same time
he has a special genius for the med
ical profession, and would have
made no mistake had he been a
physician. Mrs Fisk, while she
enjoys farm life, is a lover of liter
allure, and had she chosen that
profession, would have made an
excellent teacher in the public
schools. Curtis Bartlett Fisk is
the son of Curtis Fisk, LIST, of New
bury, was born Oct. %, 1886, and
thus is 20 years and 3 month of
age. He is the fifth child of fam
ilv of ten children, and half-cousin
to the somewhat noted Jim Fisk
of Brattleboro, who became stock
broker in Wall Street, N. Y, and
was assassinated at Grand Central
Hotel by Stokes in jan, 1872.
Curtis B. Fisk was married to Mar
garet Buchanan at South Ryegate,
Jan. 9, 1862 by Rev. John Bole mot
but lately deceased) united with
the Presbyterian church at South
Ryegate in the spring of 1861 under
the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Mcdowell.
After his removal to Topsham he
was ordained and installed as ruling
Elder by Rev. j. A. McClelland,
Nov. 81, 1904 Mrs. Fisk is of pure
Scotch descent, the daughter of
Margaret Lumsden and Walter
Buchanan, Jr., of South Ryegate,
born Nov. 25th, 1889, united with
the Presbyterian church at South
Ryegate with her sister Mary, in
September, 1861. During all these
years she has been an earnest

NATURES CATARRH CURE.

SENSIBLE AND SCIENTIFIC WAY TO
CURE THIS DIsAGREEABLE DISEASE.
In no other way can catarrh be
cured as naturally and quickly as
by the use of Hyomei breathed
through the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit.
In this way all the air that en-
tiers the nasal passages, the throat
or the lungs, is filled with Hyo-
mei's healing medication, reaching
the most remote air cells of the
respiratory organs, and soothing
and healing the irritated mucous
membrane.
So strong is ]. NJ. Taylor's faith
in the power of Hyomei to cure
catarrhal troubles, that with every
dollar outfit he sells he gives a
guarantee to refund the money I'M
less it cures.
The complete Hyomei outfit
costs but $1.O0, extra bottles, if
needed, SOC.
