AN ECCENTRIC BUTCHER.
His Bills Were Queer, and So Were

His Bills Were Queer, and So Were
His Eating and Praying.
In 1920 there died at Romford, In
Essex. England, a well known butcher
Of that town named Wilson. Mr.. VIII
son. 1t appears, was notable for his in
tegrity in business and for the gen.
tleness Of his manners-two qualities
which, perhaps, would scarcely have
entitled him to the notice Of posterity
had he not also exhibited a remarkable
addiction to psalmody. extraordinary
proficiency in penmanship and high
ly peculiar manner OF eating his din
ner.
Such butchers bills as he sent to his
customers had never been seen before
and have never been seen since. They
were all exquisitely written by his
own hand, but the top line would be-
perhaps, In German text, the second In
Roman letters. Stimulating the finest
print: beef would be In one style Of
writing. mutton In another. lamb in a
third, while each OF these kinds OF
meat would be still further distinguish
ed by different color OF Ink.
He was a great friend to the church,
observing all its ordinances and a tn
tie more. Every Sunday he entertain
ed the congregation with n solo, sing
ing the palms by himself until the
minister came into the desk. And on
every fast day, while all the rest of
the congregation went home TO their
refreshment and rest, between morn
ing and evening service. he never
quilted the church, but went about
from pew to pew repeating the Lords
Prayer and singing appropriate psalms
until he had performed these favorite
devotions In every pew In the church.
He had n large appetite and seemed
determined that all Romford should

quietly 10 dinner In his back parlor, he
would usually sally forth into the
street with n leg or shoulder OF lamt

thus equipped would penmbulate the

TO THE PUBLIC

If cough syrups would cure coughs
every time, it would not be necessary
for us to print this information, but
there are so many cases of chronic
bronchitis in town that have hung
on for months and years, we feel that
we must tell what we know about 1t.
1t is a positive fact that the only
right way to treat cough is to use
remedy that acts on the blood such
as Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron preparation without oil.
This makes the blood rich and pure
so 1t can heal and strengthen the
infiamed bronchial tubes. Its taste
is so pleasant that even children like
it.
Mrs. Olivia Parham, East Durham
N. c., says: Il used Vinol for a cough
which had lasted two years and Il
gave me perfect satisfaction. an
also giving 1t to delicate child tC

any other medicine but Vinol is 81
pleasant she cries for il and 1t is ben
citing her very much"

DYNAMITE ON r. r. TRACK
Stick Of Deadly Explosive Found In
c. v. Yards, Brattleboro

Brattleboro, Dec. 9.-While walking
on Vernon street late yesterday after
noon, Harry c. Sargent, an employe
OF the Vermont Printing company
found a stick OF dynamite lying close
to one OF the rails of a side track in
the lower Central Vermont freight
yard. There was no cap attached to
IL and It looked as though II might
have been dropped accidentally. T..
]. Guthrie, station agent was notified
and Mr.. Sargent told him where he
had put the explosive. IL was in a
ditch near where he discovered II. A
man was sent last night to remove II.
While work was in progress on the
ledge opposite the station there was
a quantity of dynamite In a car but
how any one could get hold OF any
OF II, or why II should be placed on
the track Is mystery. II Is likely
that an investigation will be made on
the matter.
