Congratulations to DR.. A. L. Cooper
of Randolph, who has been a Vermont
Methodist pastor for the past century and
five years. He is known from one end of
the state to the other, and his snow white
head has been conspicuous figure at the
Vermont conferences for years. Those
who know him best never doubt the color
and temper of the man. Thus the
Montpelier Daily journal comments edi-
torially, and the apEreciative tribute is in
no way Overdrawn except in the term of
pastoral service credited to the revered

Thus far two towns, Bakersfield and |
Braintree, which voted license at the |
March meeting, are to have a special |
meeting to see what kind of liquor will |
be sold-liquors OF all kinds or malt liq- I
uor only. We have never heard of any
good coming from any of these CATER
meetings." If a town, by Indifference or
otherwise, votes license, it is best to ac-
cept the result and correct the mistake if
there be one-next time. Don't cry baby
but remember that the majority rules in
this case as in all Others-is the advice of
the Morrisville News and Citizen.

the catalogue attention is called to gar
den seeds of all kinds that gave universal
last year and are of the same
high grade this season. Then seeds for
the flower garden are enumerated and
classified; the shrubs, vines and roses OF
the nursery department are recommended
as hardy plants in our climate that will
not only exist but thrive; and on the COW
err IS named the leading speciality of the
