Interested in Municipal Lighting.

A report has been current in Brattle

has been started looking to village owner,

while it hardly can be said that such a
movement actually has been started 1t
may be said that the subject is being dis

will be used when the proper time comes
The subject has been agltated IN years
past, but nothing ever has come OF 1t Tor
the reason that municipal ownership here
tofore would have meant the establish

plant or the purchase of the old one. Now,
however, Brattleboro is in position to

County Senatorship.

As a result of ''run-together' OF To-
cal business men Saturday evening WI
liam II. Ninton has consented to become
a candidate for the office of senator from
this end of the county. Mr.. Ninton
name has been mentioned in connection
with this office for some time and since
his friends have made it clear to HIM that
they desire him to run he has decided to
enter the field. An informal canvass
made during the past few days indicates
beyond a doubt that Mr.. Vinton will
have practically the solid support OF the
business men of the town and there Is
little question that he will carry Brattle-
boro when the time comes for choosing
delegates to the republican county con

WARRANT SHORT AND SWEET.
Annual Village Meeting to Be Held
the Evening of May 5.

If the length of the warrant is any
criterion the annual village meeting Tues
day, May 5, will be brief and brotherly
The meeting is called for O'Clock in the
evening in Festival hall, instead of In the
morning as is usually the case. There are
eight articles on the warrant including
the "any other business one at the end.
-Four of these pertain to purely routine
matters. Article is relative to appro-
priating $500 for a series OF 10 band con
certs during the coming summer, while
article 6 is ito see if the village will AL.
thorize the sale of the Esteyville chemical
engine and the substitution therefor of
extinguishers to be placed in various parts
of Esteyville. This is in accordance with
recommendations of Chief Engineer Har-
vey w. Sanders. ;,
Article 7 is ''to see what action, If any,
the village will take in regard to appoint
ing a committee to investigate the mat
ter Of municipal lighting; also to secure
the proper legislation, in the fall OF l9OS,
so that the village may avail itself OF
the opportunity of doing its own lighting,
if it SO Wishes There. seems to be no
little satisfaction through the. village re,
garding the matter of public lighting, and
f is believed that the cheap power which
will be available on the completion OF the
dam will enable the village to light the
streets much more cheaply and efficiently
than under the present arrangement.

WARM WEATHER STARTS HoNKs
Automobile Season in Brattleboro
Opens with Excellent Prospects.

Opens with Excellent Prospects.
The warm weather of the past few
DAYS has awakened added interest IN
automobiling and it is now common
occurrence to see the various dealers
demonstrating their cars to those
whom they regard as prospects
Practically all of the owners of ma
chimes in BrattleDoro have been out
for their first spin this week. Nearly
all of the last wears ears have UNI
dergone repairs and repainting. The
outlook at present is that Brattleboro
will maintain its position as red hot
automobile town. The sales already
reported are mostly of low and me-
dunn priced machines. Almost none
of the larger and more expensive ears
have been placed this season.
No little interest has been taken by
lovers of automobiles in machine
now being built for A. B. Clapp by
Joseph j. Martin of the E. r. Clark
Automobile company. The style or the
machine is gentleman s roadster
with a speed capacity of 70 miles an
hour. The seat will be placed well
back and the weight will come about
seven and one half inches below the
center of gravity. The wheel base
will measure JOG IL inches. The ma
chine will be equipped with four
cylinder engine Of from 40 to 40
horsepower. The design is Mr.. Mar
tin s and the parts were all made ac-
cording to his drawings. The construc-
ton of this machine has been going on
about four weeks and it is probable
that test will be made in two weeks.
The Clark company has many deals
that are being closed but the names OF
purchasers are not for publication. un-
til the cars are actually delivered.
Through Vermont Manley Brothers
rank among the biggest dealers in au-
tomobiles. The business this firm is
doing reaches to all corners OF the
state. They are state agents for the
Ford and have placed several carloads
in Newport, Burlington, Rutland, Ben
nington, st. Johnsbury and other
places. An agency has been estab-
iished by Mr.. Marley in every town
of any size in this state. Already AZ
Ford cars of the 1908 design have been
sold. Recently Mr.. Manley has sold to
Lieutenant Governor George II. Prouty
Mitchell touring car and one to q.
1. Moore of Morgan Several Mitchells
have been sent by Mr.. Manley this
week to Newport. DR.. G. R. Aldrich
is in evidence in his Mitchell runabout
and John Wright of Vernon has
bought Ford runabout.
Merrill & Greene are showing up the
Maxwell. They have received but two
cars as yet but expect to have car
load in a few days.
L. D. Taylor, local representative
for the Oldsmobile, has several deals
closed in that make of machine. He
expects two carloads of these machines
next week and among them will be a
car sold to J. Harry Estey.

A Good Thing and Nothing to Pay.

Just see what Dr. Greene offers to do
for all weak and suffering people: He IS
the most successful living specialist in
curing nervous and chronic diseases. His
unparalleled offer to consult with any
one, free of charge, by letter correspond
ence is doing wonderful good. If you
have any complaint which you do not
thoroughly understand, and which you
would like cured, write the Doctor let
ter stating just how you feel and what
symptoms trouble you: He will answer
it, giving a complete description of your
case, explaining the meaning of every
symptom, and telling how you can sure
" get we'll and strong. He gives most
careful attention to each letter, and ex-
plains your case SO thoroughly that you
understand exactly what ais you. All
this costs you nothing, you have no doc
tors fees to pay, and you don't have to
leave your home. The Doctor makes a
specially of treating patients through
letter correspondence, and they nearly al.
ways get WELL He is the discoyerer OF
that wonderful medicine, DIR. Greene S
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Write
to him at his office, "a Temple Place. Bos-
ton, Mass, and you will undoubtedly be
made strong and well.
