ACADEMY NOTES

You are invited to come and see
our tile picture of Lincoln for which
we are gratefully indebted to Mrs,
Blakely. The memorial bust of
Lincoln came damaged, so we must
wait until exchange can be made
before t will be set up in our school
room. On Lincoln day we held
memorial exercises in all the rooms
The Senior dramatics will be Civ
en-, we hope, the third week in
March. Two short plays are being
prepared. Thus each member of
the class will have a part.
The promenade given by the 9th
grade last week Thursday evening
was very enjoyable. The class is
to be congratulated.
Our basket ball team suffered
two reverses this week, at Barre at
the hands of Goddard Seminary
and Spalding High. They will be
all the more determined to win the
next home game. Be ON the watch
for it.

MI % Ma
Relieves Stomach Misery Almost
Immediately.

If the food you ate at your last
meal did not digest, but laid for
long time like lead on your
stomach, then you have indiges-
and must act quickly.
Of course there are many other
symptoms of indigestion, such as
belching up of sour food, heart
burn, dizziness, shortness of
breath and foul breath, and if you
have any of them, your stomach is
out of order and should be cor
rected.
Mi-o-na tablets have cured thou
sands of cases of indigestion and
stomach trouble. If you have any
stomach distress, Mi-o-na will re-
lieve instantly.
But Mi-o-na unlike most So
called dyspepsia remedies, does
more than relieve; it permanently
cures dyspepsia or any stomach
trouble by putting energy and
strength into the walls of the
stomach.
A large box of Mi-o-na tablets
costs but so cents at j. NJ. Taylor's
and are guaranteed to cure or
money back. When others fail,
Mi-o-na cures. 1t is producer of
Iflesh when the body is thin; it

REV. HARRY MERRILL.
Mr.. EDITOR:

Mr.. EDITOR:
There are only few men whose
departure so fills the heart with
tears as that of Harry Merrill, of
Fairlee, who passed beyond the
flood in the early morning of Feb.
Is. So quiet, so wholesome, and
completely faithful. "The world
may little note or long remember
what we say of him, now, but |
would like to do a little justice to
his memory.
Ass young minister returning
from California for his health, he
appeared in Fairlee some six years
ago, and, being unable to take a
regular pastorate, which his abilities
well fitted him to do, he entered a
work of colportage-selling Bibles
and wall-texts of Scripture from
town to town, always bearing him
self with that fine, unconscious
dignity which spoke him what he
always was-an ambassador of
Christ. He was not content with the
modest shekels which he won in
trade. He was wont to sit down
few minutes and give a manly,
heartfelt talk to the family on whose
walls his texts were to hang. And.
to many a young man he sold a
Bible with a word of counsel which
held him to a clean life and to his
mothers God. Then Harry Merrill
became the efficient Vermont Sec
retary of the Sabbath Protective
League, travelling throughout the |
state in the service of guarding and |
promoting the New England Sab
bath. But he wore himself out and |
the tall, slender body gave way to
the soul. Mr.. Editor, one of the
strongest preachers of Vermont has
passed. His life is the sermon.

comes thy rest, b.

 This ridiculous report was published in some of the western papers, but there is not the slightest basis of truth for it.

THIEVES DID DIRTY WORK AT SCENE
 IF WRECK
Packages of Jewelry Stolen While Confusion Reigned
 at Catastrophe

TUCSON, December 2S.--That thieves operated during the terrible hours fol- lowing the wreck near Benson last week was conclusively proven yesterday, when postofiice inspectors on learning that tramp had been camping in the vicinity of the wreck from the time it occurred, captured the fellow. He was searched and in one of his pockets was found pocket book belonging to the injured mail clerk w. R. Walker, cou- taining a number of valuable papers and receipts. For some reason the in- spectors let the fellow go It is now suspected that he had hand in the other thefts at the scene of the wreck. Whether he deliberately robbed the in jured mail clerk while the latter was un- conscious or whether the pocketbook was thrown from Walkers pocket and later secured by the tramp, is not known.
 Both of the packages of jewelry which were footed were from Los Ange. les. The value of their contents has not vet been discovered The outside covers of the two footed packages have been sent on to the postal authorities in an effort to trace their owners. It is be- lieved that a number of similar pack ages were stolen outright and that the total sum of the thefts will be large. Postoffice inspectors are at present en- gagged in checking over the registered mail in an effort to discover what was stolen.
 Practically all of the Tucson mail has been accounted for A number of pac kages containing presents sent from this city to eastern points were either damaged or destroyed. The wrappers for these packages or the records of them have all been discovered and the senders notified by the local postoiiiee officials.

 The bulk of this stock. which came from the General Development company interests, has been placed abroad.
 It is not believed that the Coie-Ryan people have exercised any option on the stock, for since it was reported that the CoIe-Ryan people had been given an option on 100000 shares at $25 by the General Development people, option up. on the same stock has been offered to other people.
