wrestling took place on the stage, where
mat was spread. fringed on three sides
with ringside spectators, while the gem
eral audience got a good view from the
main floor Of the hall. Bob SomerviIIe of
Barre, who stands ready to meet any 1856

aged the affair nicely. Bob Murphy.
known in Barre and Braintree, held the
watch. The wrestling was all of the catch

strength, science and endurance.
The preliminary set-tos consisted of
Douts between the two jacques brothers

H., and Charles Bixby Of Worcester,
Mass, who wants to meet any man in
Vermont at 1875 lbs

sent in a challenge.
Freebourn, who is only 20. but hard as
nails and strong as an OK, showed mn
we'll beside his taller and heavier antag-
onists who has quite a reputation as a
boxer. After minutes Of writhing and
tumbling, with stunts that would have
meant broken bones and torn Iigaments to
an unframed man, Jimmy placed Riley
on his shoulders for the count, amid lot
OF noise from the Randolph crowd. His
hold was crotch and toe lock.

utes with head chancery from which
Freebourn couldn't escape.
1t took Jimmy only 81 minutes to put
Riley to the mat in their last bout, with

The Oldest Physician In Vermont.
DR.. c. L. Stewart most happily ceIe-
brated his s0th birthday anniversary Fri
day evening by dining his fellow men,
bers OF the medical fraternity ct his resi-
dence on School street. Drs. A. c.
Bailey, c. J. Rumrill, @. W. Scott, l. A.
Russlow. +. c. Angel and J. p. Clifford
OF the village physicians were present to
congratulate the dean Of the profession,
but DR.. II. II. Hayward of Tunbridge Was
the only one Of the cEt-ci-town doctors
who succeeded in joining the company in
spite Of the bad travelling. An elegant
banquet was served and after its hearty
discussion story, chat and reminiscence
made the hours pass unheeded until after
midnight.
During the evening, DR.. A. c. Bailey,
president of the Randolph Medical asso-
citation, voiced the sentiments of his con-
freres in paying homage to DR.. Stewards
long and faithful service in the practice
Of medicine, to the quality OF bis citizen
ship and to the character of the man and
physician. In concluding he presented
to DIR. Stewart very handsome Morris
chair as a token OF the atfectionate regard
and esteem Of his medical brethren. Com
pletely surprised and not q little touched
by this demonstration Of friendship, DR..
Stewart managed to express felicitously
his appreciation of the gift and Of W hat it
stood for.
Born in Granthsm, n. H., April 2,
1929, DR.. Stewart finished his common
school education and began the study of
medicine in the Office of DR.. B. r. Gibson
of Sharon. Later he studied with Prof.
B. r. Palmer of Woodstock and Prof. II.
n. Childs of Pittsfield, Mass, and was
graduated from the Berkshire Medical
college of Massachusetts in 1851.
After practising year and halt in
Royslton and two and a half years in
Reading, he came to Randolph in 1854
and has been one OF the leading physi-
clans of this town for 55 years. He has
been president of the board of pension ex-
aminers, to which be was appointed in
1893, and has also been surgeon for the
Central Vermont railway. In his earlier
and stronger years, he covered in his
rides q wider extent of territory than,
probably, all of our doctors do at present;
for then the scattered hamlets were fewer
and too small to support a resident ply
sician. OF all the doctors in practice
along the Central Vermont when he be-
gan, he alone survives and is now the
oldest active practitioner in the state.
May many years be added to his pilgrim
age and may he long be spared to minis
ter to the large number Of patients, who
think there is no one quite like DIR. Stew
art in the hour of sickness and distress.

has been a decreasing product ion per acre of what was origin ally virgin soil, there has been an increased production per acre for the whole country. He finds that cotton production has in- creased in ten years from 172 to 191 pounds per acre, that the in crease in production of corn per acre in Ohio has been 17.5, of oats in Indiana 17.9. of wheat in New York 16.2 and in Nebraska 45.9 per cent. Along with all of this advance in many lines there has been an increase in financial returns, which has meant better living as well as more comforts and compensations of rural in- habitants. The general tone of the veteran secretary's report is such that the rural citizen would seem to be justified now in lay ing plans for large turkey and a generous outlay of plum pud- ding for the last Thursday in
 November.

Dog in the Manager.

Did you ever hear the story of the Dog in the Manager? Well it runs like this: Once upon a time a measley old cur lay down upon a nice manager full of hay. A hungry OK came that way and wanted to eat of the hay, but the old caoine snarled and snapped and growled and drove the bovine away. He couldn't eat hay and wouldn't let the OK.
 This is a nice little fable and was made to illustrate very peculiar disposition in some people. There are some people in this world who manifest abo ut the same sort of a disposition as this quarrelsome old Fido. They can't eat hay and they won't let the OK. You may make your application.

An Encouraging Outlook.

The last issue of Secretary Wilson's year book of agricul- ture contains a good Geal of in- teresting and optimistic infor- nation touching the advance which has been made along agricultural lines during the past twelve years. He finds that the agricultural balance of trade favorable to the United States has increased from S234 ,000, ,000 to S411 100000 in twelve years, being a gain of 75.7 per cent.
 He reports that the employees in the agricultural department, as a result of the recognition of the importance of the work by the people at large, through their congressman, have been increas-
 ed from 2.444 in 1907 to 10. APO in 1908. He notes a rapid intro- duction of better agricultural methods and more effective ma- chinery and a closer and more practical connection between the work of the state experim ent stations and the agricultural in- terests of the country. Secretary Wilson observes that, while there

Good Roads C.. No Mail

The Fourth Assistant Post- master General has issued a most important order, inasmuch as it will put the roads question in the bower of rural carriers.
 The order permits the post- master to suspend mail delivery thirty days when the carrier re- ports habitual neglect of roads by any patron, overseer or trus- tee. If the road isn't made good within the thirty days the post master is requested to recom- mend that the badly kept portion be permanently wlthdrawn from the route.
 A rural route is held to greatly enhance the value of d farm and i5 is worth S100 or more a year to any farmer to have his mail de- livered, so 1t IS hardly probable that there will be any neglect of the roads where this order ap- plies.

MiId Laxative for Baby Free

The child of today is the parent of the future, and whether it grows up healthy and strong, or puny and weak, depends upon the intelligence of its parents, for most children are born into the world healthy, but thousands become future weddings between birth and the age of ten, when the parents are still in greatest control.
 The prime cause of trouble is in the stomach. A baby that is digesting it's ful the little child whose stomach is good romps and plays and never whlneS; the growing child learns well at school and IS eager for fun if it's head is clear and it's stomach light, and that means II It mas no constipation.

This is liquid laxative i've wonderful in it's effect as Mrs: John ". Durham, Apple Creek, O., Mrs. H. l.. Cullam, Plainville Ind, and numerous others can testify who give it to their children with extraordinary results.

It can be given to any member of the family In constipation, sour stomach, indlgestlon, headache and similar digestive troubles. It never gripes or strangles like pills. tablets, salts and powders, which should not be given to children. women or old folks.
 If you have child or other member of the family who needs, but has never used this grand laxative tonic, send your name and address to the doctor and free trial way YOU can find out what it will do without personal expense.
