Decorations for the Holidays.

Island Pond merchants have ex-
celled in decorating their stores for
the holidays. The Christmas spirit
everywhere prevails and you almost
can ZEE how glad Santa is to find
such quantity Of Christmas goods
awaiting his coming. All the stores
are prettily arrayed but the most
noticeable are those having large
window displays.
The Bosworth Store is decorated
with an old-time brick fireplace
Around it is shown the stockings and
toys which Santa has seemingly just
placed. AS you view this pretty and
homelike scene, you seem to see
the fire cleaning as you remember
it in the days of long ago.
Stern Brothers have unique
window display Of fountain. In
the center is a statue with electric
light. A large mirror is placed back
of it and the scene is fascinating
with the several streams from the
fountain rising and falling with the
beauty of a waterfall Their color
ed electric light effect is pleasing
and sets off the articles on display
While the other stores are perhaps
not so elaborate in their decorations,
they are all decidedly charming
Christmas trees laden with presents
are shown in the stores f 0. T. Da-
Wis, Foss & Co., and S. }. Maroney

BEAT HIS MOTHER
Fred ROby of Norton Sentenced
to Rutland for Beating His
MOther-Gives the Officers
Quite a Scrap Before He Is
Subdued.

Fred Roby of Norton was arrested
Friday morning for breaking and
disturbing the peace and striking
his mother. Complaint was entered
to town grand juror A. J. Cameron
of Norton, and Roby was tried be-
fore Judge Lund of Canaan, who
came to Norton and held municipal
court Friday afternoon. Harry B.
Amey, attorney, took charge of the
prosecution for the town grand
juror. Roby plead guilty and was
sentenced to the workhouse at Rut-
land for not less than five months
nor more than six months, and in
case the costs were not paid before
the expiration of his sentence, he is
to remain and work out the same at
the rate of 33B cents per day, which
will make him quite an extended
visit to this state institution, where
he was taken Monday by Sheriff
Richard Beattie. Roby had been the
guest of Deputy Sheriff E. A. Bemis
with quarters in the village lookup.
The officers had quite an exciting
time in capturing Roby. Early Fri
day morning Deputy Sheriff E. A.
Bemis was called to Norton by tele-
phone, having a warrant for the ar
rest of Roby. He went by auto and
took with him John Peterson, John
Cunnington, j. W. Carpenter, and
Lawrence Roby, father of the young
man, who was away at work in a
lumber camp, and hurried home on
a summons by telephone telling of
the happenings at his home. The
party approached the Roby home
and three of them surrounded the
house while Deputy Sheriff Bemis
and Lawrence Roby entered the
building to arrest the lad. After a
careful search nothing was discover
ed Of young Roby. He was found
at a neighbor's house lying on bed,
and dressed except he had taken off
his coat. He resisted somewhat his
arrest but finally consented to go
with the officers if they would not
handcuff him. All went we'll unit
the auto was reached which Roby re-
fused to enter and while being per.
suaded to get in he Whirled anC
struck officer Bemis in the face and
turned and jumped for a getaway
His calculations failed for he jumped
into the arms of John Peterson, who
gripped and held him like a vice.
Roby put up stiff scrap and il
was some time before he was sub
dued and the irons placed upon him
The party then started for the Roby
home, where the young man wanted
to get out and go in. The officer
would not allow this, but Roby
sprung another surprise on them by
jumping out Of the auto and speed
ing away before the officer coulC
get a hand on him. Pursuit was
made but Roby led them a hot
chase down the highway, near the
station and across the fields. Al
this stage of the pursuit station agen
Fred Young saw .Roby running
across the fields and hastened dowr
the highway and intercepted him az
de jumped over the fence. A regu.
lar fashioned wrestling bout fol
lowed with Young coming out bes
man and holding Roby for the ar
rival of the officers. He was helC
securely after this and taken t
court.

The nerves of your body are like

acute Inflammation occurs the in
sulation of the nerves is broken
down, making it difficult. and often
impossible, for nature to heal the
