WHAT The PAPERS SAY.
Abuse and Misrepresentation.

AS this paper SAID TWO or three weeks
ago, the campaign of misrepresenta-
ton and personal abuse has failed.
DR.. Mead is stronger with the people
cordially hated Bye opponents" and
more feared than ever before. These
political dictators of the past who even
resorted to guerilla tactics, who have
not fought in the open but have tried |
to hide behind clark horses" I'M
pledged delegations, etc., have failed
we believe. DIR. Mead carried st. AL
bans, Burlington, Barre and other

MONTPELIER had not the Mead men been
generous enough to concede the delega

Severe Serenading.
Talk about your rough housing a
bridal couple. At recent wedding in
Springfield it was determined that the
(un) happy couple should not be al
ding, but they did. The bride escaped
in an automobile and was taken to
Claremont, N. H. The house where
the couple were to stop with some
friends was found surrounded by
bowling mob of their friends" so she
eluded them and stayed with an aunt
until the coast was clear when she
gained the friends house and was
locked in a closet. The Indians"
swiped the couples baggage and the
groom's coat, watch and money, but
he borrowed clothing and money from
friend and got away on foot and
later was found in a freight car at
: Charlestown, N. H., and taken in an
, other automobile, finally getting to his
, bride at about five o'clock in the morn
ing. "All's we'll that ends well' and
the joke seems to be on the strenuous
but misguided jokers. -Swanton Cou-

Profit in Apple Growing in Vermont.
The News and other papers in the
: state have frequently urged, more at
4 tention upon the part of Vermont land
owners to apple culture. In this state
. there are innumerable most favorable
localities for the production of the best
e apples in the world. All that is re-
a quired is more intelligent attention to
t pruning and spraying and the various
other things requisite to growing per-
feet fruit and more attractive packing
for the market. Vermont can raise in
e finitely better favored fruit than can
i Washington or Oregon, or the newer
6 apple sections.
j That there would be profit to Yer
q mont orchardists in raising lust as
e handsome fruit and in packing them
n just as attractively as these western
6 growers do is indicated by the fact
that western grown apples are today
!. selling in Vermont and other eastern
!, markets for from seven to ten cents
apiece at retail.
Literally immense wealth awaits the
apple growers of Vermont when they
s make the best possible use of their
e opportunities. Rutland News.
IS Harboring Gypsies.
{ While other communities in Vermont
ID are lenient with the gypsy caravans
n which infiict themselves on the public
each summer, Rutland has taken de-
cided stand and has refused to harbol
the wanderers. Early in the week, {
II band of these nomads attempted tt
a pitch their camp in that city, and be
A. fore they had driven stakes they were
70 ordered by the chief of police to move
= on. In compliance with those orders
IL the gypsies moved on to the mex
g place, to become a nuisance there
provided the authorities did not shov
the same measure of determination a
. the Rutland chief of police. Here
- abouts there is too much rope given t.
) these really undesirable people. TIL,
,e average gypsy does not bring thini
10 to the community; instead, he take
~ from it by stealth or by open and bra
- zen effrontery. His sense of justice an
s. right is so stunted that he think
ip nothing of committing depreciation
where he considers the chances fo
detection are slight; and the people
the vicinity of the camps cannot fee
u secure until the last of the gypsies
r. seen in the distance. There is no re;
