WILL A A
Randolph Canning Factory VIII Do
Larger Business.

Randolph, Nov. 1.--Demeritt &
Palmer finished last Thursday the
work of putting up 125,000 three
pound cans of squash and, having
sold most of the squash and a large
part of the cOrn to one of the best
companies in the country, were en-
gagged until Saturday in labelling the
cans and packing the product for
shipment to Boston and Portland,
Me.
The company has put up 25O, 900
cans of corn of very good quality this
season. The severe frosts the first of
September, which damaged the crop
in Maine, as well as around North
field and Montpelier and in the north
ern part of Vermont, were warded off
from this section, and the corn allow
ed to mature in the warmer weather
which came later. AS a result of the
killing frosts elsewhere, and the light
crop secured in consequence, the
SohhCu Solh Sdiiicu ONSI lIOLH ldSL
year by Demeritt & Palmer has been
sold at a 80 per cen increase in price.
The company has paid to our farm
ers for squash and corn. to our peo-
pie for labor and to Dix j. Camp for
the packing boxes manufactured by
him at East Randolph the lump sum
of SIS, 900. The weekly pay roll
alone averaged $500.
The farmers have taken so kindly
to the corn-raising proposition and
show so much interest in the can
ming industry that there is a prospect
of the company's increasing it's bus
mess here. At present 1t has one
line of canning machinery, which
mean just enough cutters and one
cylinder to supply a single line in
the canning operations. Should the
amount of acreage promised another
season warrant the outlay, the COM
pany will install another line of ma
chinery, parallel to the present one,
there being plenty of room for two
: lines in the factory building.

Howard ut Atlanta.
(By John G. Whittier.

tBy JOhn U. Whlttler.)
Right in the track where Sherman
Ploughed his red furrow,
Out of the narrow cabin,
Up from the cellars burrow,
Gathered the little black people,
With freedom newly lowered,
Where, beside their Northern teacher,
Stood the soldier, Howard.
He listened and heard the children
OF the poor and long-enslaved
Reading the words of Jesus,
Singing the songs of David.
Behold!-the dumb lips speaking,
The blind eyes seeing!
Bones of the Prophets vision
Warmed into being!
Transformed he saw them passing
Their new life's portal;
Almost it seemed the mortal
Put on the immortal.
No lore with the beasts of burden,
No more with the stones and clod,
But crowned with glory and honor
In the image of God!
There was the human chattel
Its manhood taking;
There, in each dark, bronze statue,
A co,I noc auaIyi,ut
The man of many battles,
With tears his eyelids pressing,
Stretched over those dusky foreheads
His one-armed blessing.
And he said: who hears can never
Fear for or doubt you;
What shall l tell the children
Up North about your"
Then ran round a whisper, a murmur,
Some answer d%evising;
And a little boy stood up; "Massa,
Tell 'em we're rising!"
o black boy of Atlanta!
But half was spoken;
The slaves chain and the masters
Alike are broken.
The one curse of the races
Held both in tether;
They are rising-all are rising,
The black and white together!
o brave men and fair women!
Ill comes of hate and scorning:
Shall the dark faces only
BE turned to morning.
Make Time your sole avenger,
All-healing, all-redressing;
Meet Fate halfway, and make il
A joy and blessing!

Mr.. Bailey's tribute to the woman
hood of Vermont on that November
afternoon made him solid with the
fair sex.
It is said that one bank in st.
Johnsbury has all it can handle in
the way of savings accounts, and that
Horace Bailey, as a trustee of the in
s~titution doesn't intend to drive bus
mess away. Horace is something of
a politician. 1t takes q politician to
land a job of U. s. Marshal with a
Vermont field of hungry ones chasing
after you The appointment of Hor-
ace was one that Senator Proctor
never regretted. Though Mr..
Bailey was not a member of the kitch-
en- cabinet, he was trusted with the
secrets of the inner shrine, and his
ability to weigh and measure men
compelled the house of Proctor to call
upon him more than once for coun.
sci. When it became known that
Horace must submit to a surgical
operation, a year or two ago "a bunch
of political cannibals, not waiting for
the ~obsequies, which they banked up
on, began feeling of the wires to
learn about the time that "Hod" would
be due to class with the derelicts.
1t was then that Senator Proctor
showed his followers that he had some
red blood. There are missing links
in the story, but the substance of the
message conveyed to Mr.. Bailey, on
his bed In the hospital, was that so
long as Redfield Proctor's batting av-
erage could be maintained the man
didn't live in Vermont who could sue
coed his friend while the friend stayed
alive.
Horace has played in various po-
sitions on the political team in his
home town, and his administration as
a member of the Republican State
committee is remembered, for Mr..
Bailey contributed a momentum TO
the machine that was unexpected.
Horace is a big nan and to watch
him navigate one would never sus-
pect him to be a hustler. Men who have
sat acros the table from him and lis.
tened to his work of directing a po-
litical skirmish, are inclined to pass
him up as a sort of steam roller. He
can dictate a hundred letters all on
the same subject land the last will be
rs good as the first. His chirography
resembles the trail of a duck. He
uses either a feather duster or the
burHed end of a match as a pen. He
was never heard to speak i'll of a
man, but he never hesitates to give
you his opinion of a man. 1t was this
characteristics that brought Horace
into the light in 1902. While Mr.. Bal.
ley didn't get noisy as a member OF
the ter-centennial outfit, he was one
Of the men who actually worked.
AS an arbitrator Mr.. Bailey has a
bunch Of ~pretenders chased out on a
limb. He can nail a crooked state
ment as quick as it Is handed him, and
it's useless to hand him a phony piece
of gilt, for "Hod" has some sort of a
system whereby he keeps in touch
with men and matters in Vermont.

silently broke ranks and returned to
their quarters. At the morning SER

my six year old daughter had tho
dreadful disease called hives for two

Ing with children who had it, although
we did not know it. BY scratching she
caused large sores which were irritating.
Her body was a complete sore but 1t was

ployed q physician who left medicine

Ang the .Outicura Remedies advertised,
a Thought I would try them. I gave
her a hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap
and anointed her body with Cuticura
Ointment. The first treatment relieved
the itching and in a short time the dis
ease disappeared. I recommend the

and give them my greatest praise. Mrs.
