For twenty-five years we have been buying produce
from Lexington county folks. In that time we have
learned to know and like them We have liked to
trade with them because they raise fine produce and
!. give good full, honest measure. Because we have
learned to know them and to like them is the reason
I. why we now have four stores in Lexington county,
Now if you will learn to like us like we like you---
. if our method of doing business pleases you as well
as your method has pleased us, then the Lexington
Pay-U Grocery will be permanent institution and
you and your community will be the gamer. Evi-
denty you do like our methods, because the patron
age you have already given us shows that you
appreciate the values we are giving. Then come
again ard tell your friends about our st6re--the
kind of goods we SELL the low prices we are giving
and the service we are rendering.
For Saturday we will have plenty of staple goods

The Acrobatic Weasel.

The weasel has been called the aero
bat of nature. 1t performs every kind
of acrobstic feat. 1t does not, however
perform merely for the pleasure to be
obtained from the performance, nor yet
TO give pleasure to others. There is a
far more deadly purpose behind its
somersaults.
The weasel adopts this method OF
approached its victim with view 10
attacking them. 1t does not attempt
to hide itself from its prey, but grad
ually performing all the time, APP
proaches nearer and still nearer until
within striking distanc of its unsus-
pecting prey.
The blood thirsty little villain is by
no means a coward. 1t will attack hu-
man beings; and cows that trespass for
the purpose of feeding on grass within
the vicinity of the home of one of these
little creatures.
The weasel can climb as easily as
run along the road, and it is equally at
home on any surface. The top of a
presents no difficulties to the easel; it
hedge presents no difficultiesto the
weasel it iwll travel along this as
quickly and easily along the smooth
est pathway.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

BARRE'S PART IN GOLFING
CIRCLES.

The success of Barre youth in win
ming the amateur golf championship
of Vermont is likely to interest other
young fellows here in the game of the
links and perhaps to produce other
championship material in the years to
come. Golf as an organized sport was
introduced to Barre a score of years
ago when small party of enthusiasts
and some aspirants to knowledge OF
the game got their heads together and
laid plans for laying out a course at
Cherryvale park. OF course, some Of
the members elect of the club had been
connected with similar organizations
and were no strangers to the mashie,
the driver and the putter, etc, and as
the sport became organized many men
from the hills and dales of Scotland
added their number and their skill to
the club A Scotchman takes to golf
as readily as a duck to water ana the
Scotchmen in Barre have contributed
much to the success of the local or
ganization, as they have now contrib
uted a champion of the state although
he is a native of Barre. The royal
game of golf has been running strong
for these twenty years and it is prob
ably more vigorous to-day in Barre
than ever. More power to that swing.

Dangerous Business.

Rum running is dangerous, even
though profitable. Making a getaway
through northern Vermont by the aid
of gun play isn't a safe or certain
procedure. Even Packard can't lose
itself or beat out the telephone and a

will play out in time from lack of re-
eruits to take the place of those
jailed-Randolph Herald and News.
