It would be difficult to convince a
resident of Bennington county that
more beautiful scenery and more Of
It exists anywhere else in the state
The narrow valleys between the dense
ly wooded mountains, the numerous
brooks, that constitute the tributaries
Of the Battenkin, the Walloomsac and
the Hoosac rivers and the cleared areas
of the hill farms make up a kleido.

tive. In only one respect must this
southwest corner of the state concede
that it was sighted in the process Of
matchmaking, and that the omission

Lake Hancock in Stamford. Lake Par
an in Bennington and Emerald lake in
Dorset, three small ponds, constitute
nearly all the boatable water in the
county and the first is nearly inaccess-

or a Willoughby, with Mt. Anthony,
Bald Mountain or Equinox in the back
ground, the scenic attractions OF Ben
nington county would be incompara-
Bile. In several localities in the state
artificial additions to the number of
existing lakes and ponds are being
created. A short time ago the Lam
ollie river was spread over a large
surface between Morrisyille and Hyde
Park by the erection Of a large power
dam. The big electrical plant being
constructed at South Vernon will set
back the Connecticut for a number OF
miles. At Cavendish gorge a big con
crete dam has re-created an ancient
lake and proposed power works at
Sharon will add attractive sheets OF
water to the White river valley with
the large number OF established man
ufacturing industries in Bennington II
is to be regretted that there is not in
this locality an opportunity for the
erection of a large electrical plant
which would furnish a more econom
ical power than steam and provide
those opportunities for recreation
which are so abundant in many parts
Of the state.

CURES CATARRH.

Neglect or pessimism We believe is
the greatest enemy the public have to
contend with when applied to the loss
or recovery of health. Practically
every case of consumption might have
been cured If hope had been ailtain-
ed and proper treatment had been re-
sorted 10 at the first symptom Of The
disease Until the advanced stage Is
reached consumption is durable. Ca
tarrh is responsible, we believe for
every case of consumption. IL is about
catarrh we want TO talk to YOU today,

two are so closely allied,
We have a medicine made from the
prescription of one OF the most sue
cessfu catarrh specialists known.
This medicine has a record of IS per

itiyely without an equal. We are so
satisfied that we are right that We will

CIarksburg Man is Knocked
Senseless by Electric Cur
rent from the Heavens.
HORSE is VERY BADLY TORN
Rider Has a Miraculous Escape
from Instant Death by the
Deadly Current.

Knocked into insensibilfty was
Clyde Reynolds, of this city, between
10 and II o'clock Thursday, night at
the James s. Griffin scales three miles
beyond Lumberport by lightning, and,
his escape from death was miracu-
lous. The force OF the voltage of
electricity entered the horse he rode,
thus sparlng Reynolds his life The
horse was terribly torn on the breast
and sides and may not recover.
Reynolds left here at s o'clock to
so ID the home of Griffin to take up
some beef cattle for George Criss and
as he reached the scales one mile be-
low Griffln's home a flash OF light
ming occurred and Reynolds remem-
bered nothing more until he found
himself crawling up out OF the mud.
The fence at that point was. all
mashed down to the ground and the
superstition is that horse and rider
fell over against 1t, when the light
ming struck them.
Recovering himself somewhat
Reynolds succeeded in an hours time
in getting to the home of Griffin, rid
ing part of the way. crawling another
part and walking at times. with the
horse moping along after him.
Attention was given both him and
the horse after he arrived at the Crit
fin residence. While Reynolds did
not appear to be in serious shape, yet
he complained of soreness and espec-
tally on the back OF his head. He
passed the remainder OF the night
fairly well and ate reasonable
breakfast Friday morning.
The condition of the horse Friday
morning was most serious and a
veterinarian from this city was sum
moned. though there seemed little
possibility of the animals recovery.
