Correction No. 2 on Runaway Pond.
Mr.. EDITOR:
In 1860, there was a semi centennial
meeting held in the North church in
Glover. There were six men present
who were at the Runaway Pond fifty
years before: Richard Goodwin, Lo-
rem Frost, then of Coventry, and
the theirs do not recall although I
think Eber Frost was one.
Loren Frost said he went out of Gu
riosity as any boy aged sixteen would
do. Some one of them spoke of the
feat of Spencer Chamberlain in jump
ing three feet over the log, as it was
said that was all that saved his being
carried with the mad waters. Aaron
Wilson from Keene, n. H., owned the
gristmiD at that time and his son-in-
law, Mr.. Darr, was miller. He too
went with the others to the pond,
leaving his wife to tend the mill
should any grists come.
At the meeting in 1860 Grandma
Crane, widow of the "Grandsire
Crane" spoken of in Mr.. Brunn'ng's
letters, was present and told of hear
ing the noise of waters and then see
ing Mr.. Darr running. She said he
stopped at their house, (the farm now
owned by E. A. Norton) for a drink
as he was nearly exhausted, and then
ran again as the waters were coming
swiftly. He reached the mill as he
had been told but his wife had gone
to the house and he had no time to
unite the horse which was hitched
there and owned, it is said, by Mr..
Cutler, grandfather of G. +. Cutler of
West Glover and H. R. Cutter of Bar
ton, and said TO be the only animal
/ that was drowned. Mr.. Chamberlain
made a remarkable jump to save his
own life while Mr.. Darr ran four miles
| because the life of his wife was in
peril.
For further proof that it was Mr.
Darr that ran l refer to a lady who
was visiting here few years ago and
in speaking of the pond she said, 81
have heard my uncle Darr and my
aunt tell of his great run time and
again."

LETTER TO
J. F. BATCHELDER,
BARTON. VT.

Z.
Dear Sir: II is great thing FIR merchant
to have the exclusive sale lin his region, of
course) of anything wanted by everybody.
There are two ways to treat ssuch goods.
One is put the price up and make big profit.
The other way is: be fair and make more.
Devoe is the paint thar takes least gallons
and costs least money house. job. a year, a
lifetime-no matter how you reckon your
costs, except by the gallon-Devoe is the best
caretaker and costs least money.
Don't forget that the principal part of the
cost of paint is putting ut Oh. L;ss' gallons,
less cost. Don't forget that another principal
part of economy is long wear; less gallons,
less cost and long wear.
1t is great thing to have the exclusive
sale of popular gooos, Of goods that make
friends, of goods that enrich both buyer and
seller. Devoe is Lerhaps only ten per ceut
better than one or two others;t but ten is
plenty-its go Or 80 better thanl many.
There's many a merchant who hasn't found
out his goods. 1t doesn't take man long
to find out that Devoe Is the least money
paint and why, no matter which side he is
Yours truly,

Back to the District System.

Back to the District System.
Mr.. EDITOR:
tAs see the uew appropriation of
twenty thousand dollars to aid in the
transportation of school children.)
While the United States is con-
stantly appropriating money and de-
vising ways to improve the condition
of the rural districts, our last state
legislature appropriated twenty
thousand dollars to help pull them
down. For as l see it, when they
Iake away their small district schools
they will take away the last spark of
public interest that has ever been
shown in the rural districts.

educational meetings and he advo-
Gates teaching agriculture in our
schools. l should like to ask, where
agriculture could be taught to any
better advantage than IN the rural
districts, provided they furnish these
rural districts with the same grade of
teachers of the graded school?
I believe that the greatest trouble
with the small schools is that they
send all their young teachers out and
let them practice on them. Then If
they show any ability to teach they
will place them in the graded schools.
l am in hopes that we may again
have the old district. system. Then
the schools were run by the people
and for the peoples children. Now
the schools are run by the officials
and for the officials.

Subscribers Pay Us More Than
Advertisers.
Mr. EDITOR:
was much interested in your arti-
Gle on "trade at home" AS you say
there are two sides to every story,
and some of the facts you stated are
truths, l will admit, and others
can't agree with you on so easily.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it really makes
me smile to think that our real
estate would go to ruin in two weeks
IL our money was all sent West to
get what we really wanted to live
upon. Why is it any more harm to
send out West and get what you wan
than to buy of the merchants wha
you don't want, just because it helps
build up our towns and keep trade a
home? Does not this same merchan
20 to the big cities and buy his owl
goods? Yes, you will admit this, ant
the farmer pays his bills, and a gooc
large profit.
On that square deal" Mr.. Editor
there are one or two questions wan
60 ask you: Look your list of sub
scribers over and see which is tn
biggest list, 'mossbacks, " as you cal
them, or merchants? Go to your ow
bank Just across the street and Sc
which has the largest capital, "moss
backs" or the merchants?
Well, you will say, the merchar
pays you a good deal the most as b
advertises in the paper. admit this
but what benefit is it to the farme
when he sees the same advertisement
run from one week to six month
without changing 1t? Whose COW
are we milking now, our own or til

Feel Very Positive of Foul Play.
Relatives of the late J. G. Enright,
of Windsor, have received advices
that confirm them in the conviction
that he was the victim of a criminal
assault and robbery in New York and
that was the cause of his sudden death.
The officers of the Chelsea Square
hotel where Mr.. Enright's body was
found admit that he told them he had
been robbed and the fact that his
valise, mileages, money, and all
papers of any value are missing bears
out the statement. The officers are
now trying to learn the identity
and whereabouts of man who went
into the hotel and took a room next
to Mr.. Enright and has been missing

HOW WE SAVED BABY
At Four Months Weighed Less Than
When Born, But Today is Well.

Until four months ago we tried al
most every known food for infants, yet
our baby continued to grow poor ana
was never satisfied" writes +. W.
Haggerty, NJ. D.. of Vienna. N. J.
1--WE expected to lose him, but upon
the first using of Justfood it was re-
tanned and the child began to improve
at once. In seven days time he gained
one-half pound. He steadily increased
gaining from one to two pounds
every week until at eleven months of
age, he weighed 25 pounds. and is now
a strong, well lad. l simply write
this, trusting it may be help to some
other little poor starving babe"
This letter of DR.. Haggerty seems re-
markable, but when one knows that
Justfood is a pure cereal food with all
the elements that make food digest
ible, give q baby natural growth and
strength, it ic what one would expect
from the use Of the food.
