Day is the first of the HinBdale farmers to begin harvesting his tobacco. He began cutting his fine crop Monday. Several others will begin on theirs next Monday.

We did not suppose there was such a sort of jealousy among our people as to the fame of Wilmington and Readsboro. It is astonishing to find several who are actually finding fault because there were burglaries at these places while we have none. Well, my friends, the burglars are after money and as we have spent ours, they go somewhere else. While it may be mortifying to one's pride, we must endure all such privations.

There was no one on the premises at the time, as Mr. Boutelle sometimes has some one keeping house for him and at other times does his own work.

VERMONT LOAN 8 TRUST GO. Aspirants to Citizenship, From the Springfield Republican. The applicants for final naturalization papers who came before United States Commissioner Lyman at New Vork the other day had been carefully coached. But after all the posting up on certain sim ple subjects, to which they had been sub jected, the following were typical exam inations: "Do you know what form of government this country la under!" be asked. "Itepubllcan." "Where are the laws made?" "Congress." "Who electa Congress?" "The lejtlserlata In Albany." "Which la the highest body, the Senate or Con gress?" "Washington " The next man was a German. "Bow Is Con gress el cted?" asked Mr, Lyman. "Der presi dent, he do It" Didn't I tell you to read the con stitution?" "Ach, ya." "You're attached to the constitution, aren't you?" "Ach, ya. She suits me good." "Well, bow Is Congress elected?" "Der beeplea " "How many people In this country?" "I don't tell." "why don't you go to Washington?" "I ain't get not a politician," It Is not stated whether these particular aspirants to American citizenship were ad mitted to the privilege or not, but the probability Is that they were. They were fairly representative of the crowd which the politicians yearly press forward and the judges admit to citizenship. Miss Daisy Upham, so well known here, has finished her medical studies in Ger many and Is practicing medicine In Ja maica Plain. Miss Upham is a graduate of Smith college, and had studied medicine and had hospital practice before going abroad. Mr. Sanderson of this place tells the fol lowing of a butternut tree that grows on the old home farm In West Townshend. This farm, formerly owned by his father, John Sanderson, situated one-fourth mile from the village on tne road to windbam, Is now owned by his sister, Miss Lestlna Sanderson. This tree he remembers when a boy more than CO odd years ago, as bear ing bountifully. One year 3-P bushels of butternuts were sold off this one tree. Its circumference is 15 feet and four Inches. Its diameter Is five feet. The top has large and wide-spreading branches and covers a large area. Much more might be written about this farm and Its first occupants.

Who Will Be Our Next I'resldentl Politicians are now reported as planning for the presidential campaign of 1000, but the war has so overshadowed all other matters that politics Is almost unnoticed. Many people are of the opinion that tbe opposing candidates will be the same as In 1896, but there may be a "dark horse" who will step in and win tbe race. Popularity has much to do with candidates. This Is also true with medicine. The most popular remedy today Is H os tetter's Stomach Bitters, and It has retain ed this popularity for many years. Science never discovered tbe equal of this medicine for stomach, liver, kidney and blood diseases. It builds up solid flesh tlfsue, dispels poisons from tbe system, Imparts vigor and vitality to all or gans and makes life worth living.
