S'COld !!
Gold !! -

Back in the '40's it took months for
the thrilling news of California gold
strike to cross the continent. Today,
few hours after so important discov-
cry, the entire story would be known
to newspaper readers throughout the
country.
In the early days, news spread by
worth of mouth. Today, the telegraph
and telephone speed the message into
the newspaper ofic, it is rushed into
type, the paper is printed and shortly
the news becomes public property. 4
There are two kinds of news in the
paper One consists of the affairs of
other people; their sayings doings and
what they're going to do; things that
have happened, may happen and
didn't happen.
The other kind of news is about your
affairs. That's the part you'll find in
the advertisements. There lot of
valuable news there about things you
want or will want; things that have to
do with your own personal comfort.
convenience and everyday efficiency.
Every advertisement carries personal
message to some one. Many adver-
tlsements carry messages of vital in
terest or value to you.
That's why you can't afford to miss
the advertisements.
Read them. The ADVERTISEMENTS are
decidedly valuable to you.

ARMISTICE
BALL GREAT
SUCCESS

The ArmiStlce ball .ast evening
in Newport was brilliant success
in every way. Burroughs orches-
ira as usual was snappy and pep
py without too much jazz. The de-
corations while less extensive were
very fitting, several large flags
and the large Legion banner
stretched across the rear end of
the hall, with the word, "Wel-
come" was more than mere
word. Everybody had a royal good
time. While the Gance was meant
TO be somewhat informal, the
greater number were in evening
dress, but those who were not, ap-
peared just as happy. Many of the
gowns were very beautiful, brill
liant colors predominating.
The dancing lroc!is were all
short with one exception, but as
Paris has worn the long skirts for
two years and is now clamoring
for the more abbreviated ones, the
Newport girls are in with the ris-
ing tide. The men as usual wore
their best blacks.
There were nearly a hundred
couples on the floor and a small
balcony attendance. The refresh
ments were sandwiches, cake and
coffee, served under the direction
of Earle Dacis, with Mrs. Annie
Magoon in charge of the Punch
table. The guests included several
from Sherbrookc, North Troy and
Derby Line.

GREENE PLEASED
WITH ELECTION
Praises Fleetwood And
Dale Following
Victory

In a statement today Senator
elect Frank L. Greene says in
part:
NATURALLY, | am greatly pleased
by the result of the election in this
state and that too, apart from my
own good fortune, when we regard
the political and social unrest that
is so manifest throughout the
country, the unsettled condition
and discomfort of the multitude,
the vague sense of disapproval of
something that is not even defined
the lightness with which political
party ties are held and the wide
spread desire to break away from
something and be against things
for a while, we can appreciate to Il
degree something of the tremen-
dous reactionary forces that are
influencing the whole world in this
critical period.
We, in America are fortunate,
indeed that things are no worse,
though we, here in Vermont-rest-
less as some of US may be for Il
time-have no rcai share in the
upset of the popular nina as re-
flected in many other parts Of the
country.
"The election of my longtime
colleague, Porter H. Dale, without
serious opposition was expected, of
course and pleases everybody. |
am glad to share in this sentiment
toward him.
81 am glad the republican state
and county tickets went through
with such satisfactory support
and that Gov-elect Proctor receiv-
ed such a handsome majority. 1t
was a well deserved Endorsement
and indicates that the new admin
istration at Montpelier will assume
the government with warm popu-
lar support behind it.
The election Of Frederick G..
Fleetwood to succeed me in Con
greSS as representative of the first
district is gratifying. | do not be
lleve the narroWness Of his mar
gin in the vote was at all indica-
tive of any personal ft cling again

protest against the liquor law.

The Caledonia County
Vote for Side Judges

In our detailed report of the
election, the vote for assistant
judges from the several towns was
given correctly, but in one instance
the total vote was given Incorrect
ly. The correct totals were: M. D..
Cotfrin of Groton, BAIT; C. A.
Stanford of HardWick, 3,456
The popularity of both winners
was we'll illustrated in the splendid
given them in their
home towns both running well
ahead of the ticket. In Groton, Mr..
Coffrin had 1873 votes to Stanford 5
158 and in Hardwick Mr. Stanford
had 269 votes to 256 for Coffrin, in
both these instances, the candidate
for judge ran we'll ahead of the
other candidates in the county list.

NORTH TROY
MAN SHOOTS
BLACK BEAR
A. r. Buckland of Norton
Mills Traps 800 Pound
Bear

The deer season IS on, but it is
bears that they are shooting. John
McAhister Of North Troy who has
been over in Wenlock with party
got the surprise Of hi7 life when
he saw a good sized black bear
coming in his direction. Believing
that he had better get the bear be-
fore the bear got him, he fired, the
shot striking him in the back. This
made the bear mad and he kept on
coming, only little faster and
more determined like.
Mr.. McAlliste1 says he remained
perfectly calm and took good aim,
this time the shoc took effect and
Bruin gave up the ghost. On his
way home to Try MI. McAllister
stopped in Newport and weighed
his prize, which tipped the scale at
200 pounds.
Yesterday A. auckland and his
brother, c. H. Watson of Norton
Mills, visited their traps and found
a 300 pound blacl. bear dead in the
trap. The bears paw was crushed
and he had evidently just died as
the carcass was still warm. The
fur is pronounced very beautiful
and Mr.. Watsonis to have is pre-
pared for rug. Mr.. Buckland is
in Norton helping to put in dam
by which he will increase the
power he now Uses TOT his electric
plant which he has installed on his
farm.
