In early March, before either of the
present candidates for town represen-
tative had announced his intention of
running for the office, the Register in
vited Charles |. Button, Judge of Pro-
bate, to offer his name. We have not
now, few days before the primaries,
changed our mind as to the fitness of
Mr.. Button to represent Middlebury,
one of the important towns of the state,
in the Legislature. His record of ser
vice both in offldial and semi fficial
capacities has been rrepoachable. AS
Judge of Probate for ten consecutive
years, as executive member of the
County Agricultural Society, as chair
man of seven county and local war
work committees, as chairman of the
only lChautauqua committee that fin
ished with a surplus, as founder of the
Moosalamoo club, as jurist, and many
other branches of en- eavor he has al
ways accomplished what was desired
He will bring the same administrative
ability to the care of the towns best
interests in the statehOuse.
1t is compliment to Mr.. Button that
his political adverares have raised no
objections to his candidacy on the
grounds of his character and ability
They have sought to handicap him in
some quarters by describing him as an
extremist on the prohibition question
Firstly, there is no such issue in the
local contest. What could the Vermont
legislature do for or against the Eight
zenith Amendment ? Secondly, Mr.
Buttons platform contains a satisfact-
DRY explanation of his opinion Of nat
ional prohibition enforcement, "A few
laws, we'll understood and sympatheti-
cally enforce d, spell the happy people. 3"
A strict temperance man himself, he is
neverless a sympathizer with those
whose opinions differ from his own.
The voters of Middlebury will do well
in choosing Charles |. Button,

The announcement that Lewis P.
Thayer, dean of the Vermont press, has
sold a half interest of the Morrisvlle
Messenger to T. H. Stopple indicates
this veteran Vermont newspaper man
desires to retire from his activities. No
other man in Vermont has put so
many years of active work in the new
paper field as Mr. Thayer and he is
entitled to rest and comfort. Mr..
Thayer has been a leader in making
Vermont newspapers strictly local in
their news service and a great deal
of every day history of common peo-
pie has been published in the Yer
mont dailies and weeklies as a result
Of his developmnt of town and personal
items many years ago. He has done
more than any other man in the state
to make two local newspapers thrive
where only one had existed and many
communities of the state are indebt-
ed to Mr.. Thayer for the local paper
they now enjoy.

MOTHER So YEARS AGO
Wright's Bluff,
Sept. 10Th, 1862.
My Dear Son:

You cannot imagine the heartfelt
salts faction we felt yesterday on re-
cciving your dispatch saying that
your wound was improving and that
you would be able to get to Richmond
in a few days. We saw it announced
in the papers few days after the
battle Of 2n Manassas that YOU were
mortally wounded. Your Pa, Pink,
and Wash, left Immediately for Sum
ter, to try and get to you, but were
Informed that it was impossible as
there was no earthly chance to travel
anywhere. Language cannot express
what your poor mother endured in
nearly two weeks of anxious sus-
pense. l could not sleep, and | ate
only enough to keep soul and body
together. | wrote asking you if it
was possible to come home, for me to
nurse you until you were strong again
and II you cannot come to me, | am
determined to go to Richmond. Bro
ther Pucket my pastor also went. to
Sumter to try to go on ana nurse you
for my sake. Oh who can ever for
get such kind-to a poor wounded
child. can never thank my God
e.lough for His mercy in sparing your
precious life, and in Him alone is my
tr''t for your future welfare and
s. fctl Your relatives and friends
al. all well and send love and best
wishes for your speedy recovery. We
are deeply gricvcd to learn that your
Regiment was SO badly cut up. Poor,
brave Sumter Bradham, DO my son let
us know how he is getting on, tell us
also OF Alexander Richbourg, you
wrote that he stood the march well
hiI l,of -, L
in the terrible battle? What about
Bill Brunson? Where was William
Epperson at the time of the battle?
Did Ben Bryant get through il safe
ly? Who're are the Manning Guards?
Pink saw a dispatch that Charlie
Witherspoon sent to Mr. Jared Nelson,
saying that the Manning Guards were
all killed, only one or two left to tell
the tale, but Dick Billups wrote to his
wife that Bob Billups, and Harper
James were safe, but Sam Huml hrcy
was killed. The old people are nearly
crazy about him, and that is all that
can be heard from the Manning
Guards, not a word from Dinglo yet.
How was Newton Stukcs wounded?
do trust that the day is not far dis
t, mt when Yankee will not be allow
ed to make a track on Southern soil.
Rebecca and Wash went to Santec to-
day, and Daughter and little Harry
are staying with me, little Harry says
he wants to go to Richmond and fight
the mean old Yankees for cutting his
Uncle. Old Bosier came up yesterday
from Santee to ask after you, and he
sends hundred howdies. We have
Just heard that Tom Bradham wrote
nome that Sumter Bradham's arm
was taken off, and that they were pre-
pairing to take off William Brunsons
also, | do hope it is not as bad as
reported for his mother is wrctchcd
about him. Your Father will add a
postscript to this letter May God in
His mercy be with you my son and
restore you soon in health and
strength to the loving embrace of
your devoted old Parents is the pray
er of your mother.

Farewell my dear child.
