Beware of Frequent Colds.

A succession of colds or a protract-

chronic catarrh. from which few per-
sons ever wholly recover. Give every
cold the attention it deserves and you
may avoid this disagreeable disease.

Good Cough Medicine for Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children.
A child is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
he has cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the sole re-
lance of many mothers, and few OF
those who have tried it are willing to
use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher
of Ripley, w. Va, says: 81 have
never used anything other than Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy for my chill
dren and it has always given good
satisfaction" This remedy contains
no opium or other narcotic and may
be given as confidently to a child. as
to an adult. For sale by Hays &

from molestation from hostile Indians, being just a step from view of Pomp- eraug River with Castle Rock as a background, which is not surpassed in beauty if equaled, in many long days travel, l think you will say 1 have spoken truthfully.
 Woodbury, being one of the old towns with larg territory, having been named in 1874, to-day looks in all di- rections and sees child of hers that is "bone of her bone and sinew of her sinew," for between l7S7 and 1907 she gave people and land enough to, fully in some cases and partially in others, start five new towns.
 ihave referred to history of localities so far, but l should be untrue to my native place if 1 did not call your at tention to the fact that our sons and daughters have gone forth and made places for themselves to our credit, as you will find in your study of our his tory; calling attention to the name of Sherman, the family record of which includes three men of fame, one a Signer of the Declaration of lndepend- ence of the United States; one a states man holding numerous offices under the United States Government, and one being General of renown in the Army, who acknowledge ancestors from old Woodbury.
 Remembering that town or corpo- ration that dwells in its past only is unable to expand or keep abreast of the times, except as it looks upon its past as a spur to future achievements. I will call your attention to our town as it is to-day. ''~
 A town of two thousand inhabitants, with good schools, water system, side walks and electric lights, signs of ad- vancement' and all these accomplished without railroad communication.
 If you could see the amount of mer- chandise brought into our town, you would realize the fact, as we know it, that we are just as surely center as tEe City we are to-day to be joined with.
 You have come to us as have re- ferred to in the beginning, in true spirit of helpfulness, and to-day in ex- tending our welcome, we wish to pledge our loyalty to you and your interests, because your interests and our interests are to-day made a common int,rest and to use the sentiment of one of Gail Hamilton's thoughts, If you love me tell me so." We appreciate what you have done for us and have invited you to our town to-day to t Il you so and to show what we fully realize to-day as expressed in a verse by George Mere dith, changed by frie Id for the oc- casion: ... "We may live without poetry, music
 and art,
 We may live without conscience and
 live without heart:-
 We may live without friends with their
 wisdom and follies.
 But civilized man cannot live without
 trolleys!
The Newtown bee., 1908-09-04

President Mellen said in part: It is no ordinary sort of celebration that we are engaged in to-day. The trolley, in my opinion, is bound to become tht gratest boon to the small communities away from the large cities. The city furnishes the work, the village the home, and the trolley is the connecting link. l am naturally a monopol'st. but | I do not wish to monopolize your time. I believe that in clinging to your rights as small to gns you are working for the best interests of all of us. 1 under stand that there is some disappoint- ment as to the fares we propose to charge. Isn't it better for yo1 to let us work out that problem in our own way. Our company has made its fares on the steam load the lowest of any transportation company in the country. We are not unmindful of the favors we have received from the people of the state and will try to deserve your ap- probation and continued support.
 At the conclusion of MT Mellen's ad- dress the guests were escorted to autos which conveyed them to Hotchkiss vile, ride of one and one-half miles. Then the return trip was made to the Curtis house in the south part of the town, where a dinner was served to about 100 by the Woodbury Commercial association. The dinner served was a fine one and did credit to that excellent hotel.
 The first toast was "The newly bonded towns" in which

chant of Woodbury. He spoke'on the subject: "rhe Secret of the Business Mans and Engineers Success" and said:
 One Sunday morning in the midst of a southern colored preachers discourse, a head poked itself through the door of the 'vestry ahd low and tremulous voice said. "Parson, the church is on fre!" "Very well, Brother Brown, " the minister answered, "I will retire. You had better wake up the congrega- tion."
 The first trolley car to Woodbury has poked its head through the foliage of the trees that have shut us off from the outside world and said to the peo- ple of Woodbury, "The world is on fire with life and enthusiasm. Wake up and join us.
 And this is the secret of success along any line of endeavor-E Enthusiasm be it commercial, mechanical or profes- sional life.
 Today we realize that for which we have longed for l5 years. It is the time of which preachers have spoken, editors written and poets sung, the hour for which Huntington pleaded, L. E Cur tis labortd H. D. Curtis prayed and Strobel died.
 In it is the fulillment of the dream of the first promoters, the earnest de- sire of those who have passed on to the unknown, the hope of the rising generation, the yearning of those who would return to the home of their childhood, the glory and honor of old Woodbury herself; the promise of the past. the fulfillment of the future, the the seed of old time, the harvest of the new, all these come to us with the ad- vent of the trolley.
 The achievements of the past belong not to you or to me. but we can make them ours if we will.
 Our lines have fallen to us in a hap pier time than to our fathers. We en- joy comforts and conveniences which they never knew.
 It may cost us more to live today than in the past, but it is worth it.
 Today the citizens of Woodbury are the proudest people on the face of the earth. It is not necessary to prove this for we ourselves acknowledge it.
 The most modern means of ingress and ingress, the trolley car, has come.
 This generation received from its predecessors the average duration of life of 30 years.
 We bequeath 3S years.

When the famOus-may some PEG.
