Good SweetcOrn Season.

The snoV lake corn canning fac
tory at Brattleboro is having an ex-
ceptionally good season. The corn
was late in maturing but after ii
did come it was of fine quality. The
first of the week fully 100000 cans had
been put up and the total output for
the season will be well above the
average. The season has been such
short one that the factory has had
to run overtime to keep pace with the
corn as it was brought in. From so
to rs huskers have been employed
the last two weeks and two-thirds as
many have been at work at the fac
tory itself. The management of the
cannery is well pleased with the good
season in this section as the early
frosts did great damage to the Maine
corn crop and the canneries there
will fall far below normal in their
output.

Wanted Different License

An amusing incident occurred in
the town clerks Office at Brattleboro
Tuesday evening, when a couple came
into the Office and asked Judge Will
liam S. Newton for a license. Owing
to the fact that the clerks in that
office had been busy of late Issuing
hunters licenses it was taken for
granted that the young man desired
hunters license and that the young
woman was simply awaiting for him.
The application was duly made out
giving the age, height, nationality
color of hair, color of eyes, but upon
the question being asked if there were
and distinctive marks upon the per-
son of the young man he became sus-
picious and inquired what kind of a
license he was receiving. Much to
his surprise and to the amusement
of others present he has told he was
receiving a hunters license. He at
once informed the judge with some
emphasis that he didn't want a hun
ter's license, but marriage license.
The mistake was rectifled, and the
young couple received what they de-
sired.

Plans for New Railroad.

Plans are being perfected for the
building of railroad from Stock
bridge station on the White River
Valley railroad, trough Pittsfield to
Chittenden, a distance of about five
and one-half miles. The parties
back of the plan are also interested
in the Bayonne Lumber Company of
Bayonne, N. j., which company has

three thousand acres upon which it
is estimated there is 25,000,000 feet
of lumber. They have made surveys
for standard gauge road and are
now buying up rights of the land

The Old Hayes Homestead.

The old Hayes homestead in Brat
tleboro, was built about 1890 by
Rutherford Hayes, grandfather of
President Hayes, who came from
New Haven, Conn, in 1778 and To-
Gated in West Brattleboro in the
house where Mrs. Myron Thurber
now lives.
Upon it's completion the house was
first occupied as a dwelling, but in
1896 it was converted into tavern
and became a favorite stopping place
for teamsters, stagemen and others.
The barroo.t was in the northeast
corner of the tavern and the bar was
next to the partition between that
room and the hall. A large hole was
cut through the partitions behind
the bar for the accommodation of the
lteamsters, who could thus get their
drinks without freezing out the bar
room frequenters by opening the
door and allowing the cold winter
air to rush in.
The license to Rutherford Hayes
"by the honorable county court to
keep tavern or house of public en-
ltertainment," issued in 1896 by Rich
ard Whitney, clerk, is in the pos
session of Mrs. Bigelow, but the old
est document of all of those which
she holds is the deed to the land up
on which the tavern was built from
Israel Smith in 1888.
Israel Smith was lieutenant in
the Revolutionary war, and he mar.
ried daughter Of the original Ruth
erford Hayes. His work in and about

During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been a great hurrying and
Bcurrying on the part Of the food man
ufacturers to change their methods to
make them conform to the law.
The Quaker oats Company Is con-
spicuous exception. 1t was admitted
that Quaker Oats was as pure and
clean as possible and that it was an
ideal food
1t is so cheap that any one can af-
ford it and so nourishing that every
one needs 1t. The result Of last years
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker oats has been adopted by
many persons as their food on which
they rely for adding vigor and endur-
ance of muscle and brain.
The Quaker Oats Company meets
all demands in the way it packs
Quaker Oats; regular size packages
and the large size family package;
the latter both with and without
china.

the confines of Brattleboro forms


history in itself.
Another interesting paper kept by
Mrs Bigelow is that which gave Mr..
Hayes the privilege ITO shut up the
road leading by his house from the
pond to the village" on account of
the turnpike road having been put in
on the other side of the tavern. This
road is still in existence and in ex-
cellent repair, it being the road run
ming between Brattleboro, West
Brattleboro and the town of Marl-
boro. The document was signed by
Selectmen Waitstill Cross, Jazeb
Wood and Joseph Clark.
A certificate to keep carriage, is
sued by G.. Dennison, collector for
the second district of Vermont, as
long ago as when a carriage was an
innovation and luxury is still we'll
preserved and shows that for the
privilege of owning "a two wheel
carriage called a chaise and har-
ness used therefor" Mr. Hayes paid
81, this certificate to be of no avail
any longer than the aforesaid car
riage shall be owned by the said r.
Hayes"
The Hayes family were scrupulous
in their observation of Sunday and
in all which pertained to Sunday,
their observation beginning Saturday
night, as is shown by one of the in
scriptions on one of the invitations
sent out for card party at r.
Hayes's hall on Saturday, July A.,
1907, the bearer being entitled to en-
tertainment from 100 p. m. until
sun setting.
The old swinging tavern sign was
discovered a few years ago under
the attic caves. 1t is about four feet
high by about two feet wide and
bears on either side the inscription
"R. Hayes, Entertainment" with a
painted picture of a jockey in yellow
holding a spirited black steed whose
proportions are grotesque in the ex-
IRENE.
This sign was originally bought at
auction and bears the date 1875, but
this is barely discernible, as it was
almost obliterated when a later date
was painted over it.
Various articles of furniture with
which the old house was furnished
are still in existence, and are for the
most part in excellent condition.
Among the other relices owned by
Mrs. Bigelow and kept in the house,
ter platter, eighteen inches in diam
letter and about 200 years old. Its first
known possessor was Mrs Bigelow's
Igreat-great-gran Col. Seth
Pomeroy, who fought in the French
and Indian war and who was a brig
adler general in the War of the Rev.
olution.
A belief has been held that Ruth
Ierford Hayes Jr., the father of Pres
ident Hayes, was born in this old
Hayes homestead, or, as it was later
called, the old tavern, but this is
Thought to be erroneous, for as near
ly as his descendants who are now
living can figure it out through the
genealogical table he was born in
the house in which Mr.. Hayes orig
finally settled when he came to West
Brattleboro to live, the old house
now occupied by Mrs. Myron Thur

COULD NOT Get
STRENGTH BACK
Every Sufferer from Debility Will
Be Interested in the Cure
Of This Rhode Island
Woman.

Some women recover their strength
very slowly after an acute illness, after
childbirth and other conditions of ex-
treme debility. What is needed to
assist nature is tonic and, especially
in the case of the nursing mother, care
must be taken that it is a safe tonic, one
from which the increased strength of
the mother will be shared by the child.
Debilitated persons are very liable to
have weak digestions and in such cases
the tonic remedy must be one that is 40.
ceptable to the most delicate stomach.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have been
very successful in curing weakness in
women. A recent case is that of Mrs.
J. r.. Campbell, of No. 30 Union street,
Lonsdale, r.. l., who says:
'After the birth of my little girl was

Artificial Lake on the Connecticut.

Artificial Lake on the Connecticut.
Since the completion of the stu
pendous dam across the Connecticut
river between Hinsdale and Vernon,
i'm consequence of which a beautiful
lake is formed reaching north for 20
miles, navigation has been resumed
on the river after a lapse of many
years. Cottages have been built along
Ithe shores and power boats have be-
come very numerous on the water.
Two hundred years ago the Con-
Inecticut River was practically the
only thoroughfare running north and
south in that section as the sur
rounding country was dense Wild
lerness. In 1747 four families settled
lin Westmoreland and their most dir
Iect mode of communication with
their friends was by boat down the
river. During the earlier years of
navigation on the river much freight
was conveyed up and down the river
in flat scows of about 80 tons bur-
den. These were propelled by poles
and when the wind was right, by
sails. Sometimes long ropes were
used, drawn by men along the shore.
The first steamer, the Robert Bar
nett, was built at Bellows Falls, to
run from there to South Hadley,
Mass. The company was not finan-
cially successful. Steamboating was
abandoned, but the flatboats contin-
ued to be used up to 1858, when the
Vermont Valley Railroad was built.
