and Liver Tablets for some time, and
can testify that they have done me
more good than any tablets l have
ever used. My trouble was heavy
dull feeling after eating.-DAvID
FREEMAN, Kempt, Nova Scotia. These
tablets strengthen the stomach and
improve the digestion. They also
regulate the liver and bowels. They
are far superior to pills but cost no
more. Get free sample at Albert
Moskop's drug store and see what a
splendid medicine it is.

A Great Potato Yield

This year looks like a record breaker
for potatoes in this vicinity. H. Waite
& Sons are the principal patrons for the
farmers in this vicinity and are also buy
ing in several other towns along the st.
j. & L. C. and have been paying 40c per
bushel at the car.
Last week they took in 5000 bushels at
the Morrisvile station. On Saturday
they bought 2500 bushels and H. A. Say-
ton & Co. claim to have weighed on an
average load every six minutes all day.
About IS cars of 800 bushels each are
now being loaded at Walden, Wolcott,
johnson and Fletcher. The stock is ex-
ira nice, perfectly smooth and free from
rot or other imperfections. The Waites'
will probably scatter from $500 to $1,000
per day for the next two months among
Lamoille County farmers for potatoes,
butter and other produce.

WILL SELL ELECTRIC POWER
Morrisville Voted to Sell Electric Power to
Mt. Mansfield Electric R. R. Special
Meeting Well Attended.

At largely attended special meeting
held at town hall last evening, Morrisville
voted to sell electric power to the Mount
Mansfield Electric Railway and for light
ing purposes in the village of Stowe. A
resolution, presented by F. G. Fleetwood.
which embodied the terms of contract.
previously submitted by the Water and
Light Commissioners and accepted by
the owners of the road, was passed by al
most unanimous vote. By the terms of
this contract the village will agree to sell
the power for $50 per horse power, the
contract being for a term of five years.
the village of Morrisville 20 erect line
to Stowe. with necessary equipment,
which it is estimated will cost $1,000 to
build, allownga a good margin for unfore-
seen expenses. The contract also speci
fies that Morrsville will not be bound to
! furnish power to the road if the same
should be needed for present or future
municipal needs. For an emergency Of
this kind, the Stowe road will retain theii
present power plant at Stowe. On the
other hand the owners of the Mt. Mans
field road agree to pay minimum rate
of $500 per year and it has been esti
mated that nearer $4,000 will be used each
year, the figures being based upon former
conditions of the road.
The proposition met with some strenu-
GUS opposition on the ground that Morris,
vile could not afford to sell the power,
which might be needed for manufactur-
ing purposes and that the amount of
power required would not be forthcom
ing. Judge Ii. Ii. Powers was the
spokesman for the opposition using some
figures furnished by j. J. Flynn of Bur-
lington, tending to show that the Stowe
road would require more power than was
claimed by Supt. Slayton and also cited
several past municipal experiences which
had not turned out as rosey as was expect
ed. Supt. Slayton was interrogated by
Mr.. Powers regarding conditions at the
Plant and gave much valuable informa-
tion. Prof. W. A. Beebe, c. F. Smith and
Fl. P. Munson made telling speeches
favoring the project
On the whole, after the matter had
been thoroughly threshed out, the voters
seemed to think the offer too good to
turn down and, although the motion to
pass over the article received several
votes, the resolution was carried practi-
cally unanimously.
We believe the movement is an excel
lent one and that 1t is the forerunner of
the extension of the electric road to this
place.
