Wnlcn bn0So remarks from bfO.
Park were received demonstrat-
ed clearly that they expressed
the sentiments of the citizens of
Oktlbbeha county.
Judge Carroll presented Mr..
Magruder to the audience in a
short but highly commendatory
address. He characterized him
as the strongest lawyer, the best
citizen and the most emlnently
fitted man for a seat IN Congress
within the circle of his acqua1n.

When Mr.. Magrdder rose to
address the congregation of clti-

ovation that lasted for several
minutes.
In his usual clear, logical. con-

discussed the vital issues pre-

Will or acrimony, dealing exclu-
sively with their publicly ,ex-
pressed attitudes toward the

TINS discussion by Mr.. Magruder
was clear and convincing and
evoked the hearty approval of all
who heard him.
At the conclusion OF the speak
ing the great crowd broke into
prolonged and unrestraned ap
plause and moved forward to
shake hands with Mr.. Magruder
and tender him active support.
For half hour Or more this
spontaneous reception lasted.
The great ovation given our
local candidate confirmed beyond
doubt the predictions of his
friends that he will sweep Ok
tlbbeha county by land slide.
HIS long association and his ln-
Vulnerable intimate friendships
throughout this and other coun-
ties in the southern end of the
district, mark HIM as the strong
est factor in our congressional
politics and his election is con.
sldered certain by his friends
throughout the nine counties
composing the First Congress-
onal District.

nor more than six months at hard labor
at the house of correction in Rutland.
The cases of Frank Prue and Louis
Blair. also charged by States Attorney
Martin with having hand in the liquor
violations at Delorme's place, were nolle
pressed. The men were lodged in Jail
recently as the result of a raid by the
police. who had their eye on the respond

Others were not so bad. The cold also
affected the telegraph service and for sew

Montpelier by the manager Of the U. p.
Tea company's store, who stated that
ENERGY was the best clerk that he had
ever had In his employ. so eagerly did
he take to the business and so anxious
was he to wait on trade. 1t also was
stated by relative Friday that
ENERGY neither drank Intoxicating bever-
ages nor smoked, as a matter of fact
had no bad habits, of which his relatives
were cognizant.
An incident that threw light on the
suspect was the recovery of Colt re-
volver in a grip in young Pepin's room
in Montpelier Friday afternoon by
Officer Fraser. the revolver being one
that had been missing by Mr.. Mcmahon
for some time from his place of business
on Church street Just how 1t came into
Emeroy's possession is not quite clear.
but q brother, George. who was arrested
by Chief Russell in this city Thursday,
almost simultaneously with the arrest of
ENERGY in Montpelier. may throw some
light on the subject, as he was until
recently in the employ of the baker.

BUILD NC RECORD Of YEAR
High Cost of Materials and La
Dor Not Serious Obstacles.
More Done in the way Of New Struc-
lures and Additions Than in Any
Like Period for Some
Time.

High cost of materials and high cost of
labor have had little effect on construction
operations In Burlington during the past
year. and more has been done in the way
Of building and charging business plants
than In several years past. number OF
houses have also been erected, among
them several costly edifices. The building
permits filed at the city clerks Office show
that the city has pretty we'll caught up
with the demand on private garages. as
not many have been built during the year.
but two of the largest garages in the State
have or are being erected for business
purposes and they offset by far the
amount which was expended on garages
last year. In addition to the demand for
mechanics of almost all description at the
fort there was work enough for all in
Burlington.
The biggest proposition in the list was
the chocolate factory and that was also
about the biggest building operation in the
State. There also has been a big change in
the southwestern part of the city made by
other concerns. The building of the WEIGH
Brothers Maple Sugar company fills up a
large lot on lower Pine street and is near
ing completion. 1t is of brick two stories
| high and is so by 100 feet in size.
| Just below the WEIGH plant, the Z. B. &
A. c. Whiting company have done con-
siderable building. A drying shed 60 by 9S
feet has been constructed. together with
one-story brick building so by 9s feet.
Down at Lakeside the Queen City Cotton
mill is being enlarged by the addition of
one-story of an enormous size, and much
is being done there to help out the living
apartments of the help at Lakeside by
building tenement houses. Another build
ing enterprise which will be completed
soon will be the new roundhouse of the
Rutland Railroad company The building
is more than twice the size of the old
building and its eerction has been accom-
panied by installing new tracks and
making" much new land. In fact, the
real estate of Burlington has been in
creased by about an acre by the latter
operation and an old-timer would have
hard work getting his bearings around
there. Then there is the building of the
Champlain Valley Fruit company on lower
South Champlain street, which is of good
size. and other buildings for business
purposes have been put up.
When it comes to garages there is the
large Van Ness-Hotel Vermont garage
and the Buick garage at the corner OF
Pine and Main streets which will be com
pleted by spring If the weather is any
thing like favorable.
So far as residences go. Kingslant
terrace has been built up during the pas
summer and there have been other house!
scattered through the different section,
of the city. One of the most noteworth,
of these is the residence Of A. B. Buell. OF
