RUSSIANS VICTORIOUS.
Capture Erzerum, Turkish Stronghold,
with 100000 Prisoners and Many

With the capture of Erzerum by the
Russians interest in war operations
has shifted its center momentarily to
the fields of warfare in Armenia, Per
STA and Mesopotamia, where the cam
paigns are expected to be notably in
iluenced in their course by the fall of
the Turkish stronghold. The current
Turkish official statement gives no clue
to the course of events, following the
capture of the fortress and indeed
does not record that happening.
The only mention of the operations
is the declaration that Russians, in the
fighting of the three days preceding,
lost 5000 dead and 60 prisoners
Unofficial advices from Petrograd
state that the Turkish army is fleeing
westward from Erzerum through a diff
fcult mountain region.
Military observers in the allied cap.
itals, who regard Erzerum as a key to
Asia Minor, expect the Russian sue
cesses to facilitate the capture of
Trebizond on the Black sea coast to
the north, giving possession to the
Turkish gateway from Asia into Eu-
rope, while Turkish forces throughout
Armenia will be in jeopardy, it is ar
gued, and the pressure on the British
in Mesopotamia will be relieved.

THURSDAY, NOV. 2. 1915,

Considerable has been said
concerning the road building in
Powell county and the bond is
sue and the promise of what the
Fiscal Court would do with the
bond money, and the roads they
would build. Here's the order
just as it was advertised and
spread broadcast by handbllls to
secure votes for the bonds. The
majority of the people of the
county are refusing to pay any
of their tax because of the road
tax. They are ready, all say to
us, to pay their road tax when
the Fiscal Court takes definite
steps to improve the roads prom

"Smiles and laughter is good

is begun in forgery. 1t becomes
habitual and is a means of friend
making, says an author, This
doesn't apply to counties voting
a bond issue for building roads

paying and an opportunity to
continue paying for twenty-six
years.

By letter we learn that quite a
number of Democratic sons of
Powell county are coming home
to vote November 7th. That's
good. Every Democrat should
follow the example of our leader,
Woodrow Wilson and vote every
time, and the Republicans may
do as their chief, Charles Evans
Hughes, does; not vote for five
years at a time.

Forty thousand dollars is the
amount sent to Kentucky, to help
carry this State for Hughes. II
Kentucky is a better prospect to
carry than the doubtful States,

years ago.

COUNTY FAIR NEXT WEEK.
Everything In Readiness for Big
Agricultural Exhibition,

Interest is always centered upon Ad-
olson County's and Western Vermont's
great event, the Big Fair. The secre-
tary and his assistants are busy receiv-
ing entries and indications point to
large exhibits in all departments. The
special prizes offered by President
Weeks and Director j. A. James for
calves to be competed for by the boys
of Addison County are creating a wide
interest as are also the special prizes
for foals of 1916 offered by the National
Remount Association. The U. S.
Morgan Horse Farm will exhibit a
string of their best stock which will
be feature Of the fair and of special
interestto horse lovers,
There are already on the grounds
quite a number of horses that are
entered for the races and others are
coming every day, Saturday will see
stalls we'll filled. The two big $1,000
stakes with fourteen entries in the 2.2O
pace and seventeen entries in the 2'2O
trot assure large fields as it was one of
the conditions that neither race would
be started unless there were at least
twelve paid entries in each, We are
assured of splendid racing.
Supt Chaffee of the department of
fish and game was little apprehensive
that the continued dry weather might
so affect the village water supply as to
interfere with the very attractive eX-
hibit which he had planned, but there
is now no danger of that and you will
see a splendid show, He will have
about twelve hundred fish, the largest
specimen coming from the hatchery is
about four feet in length.
Supt. Remele has made special eff
fort to provide an attractive midway
and you may be sure that there will be
plenty of diversion for seekers of
amusement
As usual the band concerts in the
village park on Wednesday and Thurs
day evening will be an interesting fea-
ture. The Globe Comedy Quartette
(colored) will have a part on the pro-
gram each evening.
Wednesday, August 30, Ford Day,
will be record breaker. Many hundreds
of the sturdy little "f1ivvers" will roll
into Middlebury that day, and their
aristocratic cousins with six, eight and
twelve cylinders, will also be very much
in evidence.

FARMERS MEET AT CORNWALL.
Stoek-JudsIng Demonstration a
Feature OF the Meeting.

The Farmers meeting held at Corn
wall August %, was attended by
about $50 people. Shortly after $3.50
a. m. the automobiles and teams
began to arrive and by noon the park
was filled, The program was carried
out as follows;
A stock. Judging demonstration by
Prof. G. F. f. Storey in which he
worked with dairy cows, draft horses
and mutton sheep, using for his work
animals furnished by some Of the
neighboring farmers, After this dem
onstration the crowd unched in the
town hall and grove where coffee, ice
water and fruit was provided by the
local Grange to supplement the lunch
brought by each party.
The afternoon program was presided
over by Judge A. w. Foote, ,whois master
of the Pomona Grange and vice-presi-
dent Of the Addison County Farmers
association, the two organizations which
co.operat ed in holding the meeting. He
introduced the following speakers:
j. +. Carrigan, County Agent; w. NJ
Cady, master of the State Grange; c.
M. Gardner, editor Of the National
Grange Monthly; H. w. Collingwood,
editor of the Rural New Yorker; Z. S.
Brigham, State Commissioner of Agri-
culture; Z. b. Cornwall, president of
the Addison County Farmers assoca-
tion,
Mr. Gardner spoke about the great
service that the Grange has rendered
to the farmer, carrying out the high
ideals for which it was founded.
Mr. Collingwood, the other main
speaker, spoke of the progress of the
world in the past, present and future.
He emphasized the fact that co-opera-
tive effort had played great part in
world progress, but that cooperation
was sadly lacking among farmers. If
we are to get better markets and raise
better products, we must strike with
our fist and not just one finger as
Mr. Collingwood fttingly put it.
This was very good meeting and
probably will become an annual affair.
