Something in the line of public improve ment and something in which the citizens of North Walpole take great pride is the b ink wall in tho north part of the village This has just been completed; it is .20 feet high and 168 feet long. Mrs. Baldwin of Charlestown was in town Thursday. She will begin instruct ing a class of beginners in dancing about the middle of October, and will form other classes as desired. She recently passed seven weeks in New York studying the lat est things in dancing. The illustrated songs given Sunday even ing during the lecture by Rev. J. S. Far row in the Congregational church have been well spoken of. The first song was "Wb.ere.is my Wandering Boy," and the second, "Lead Kindly Light." The solo parts were sung by Miss Gertrude Weston . An ancient pitcher which Dr. Hill recent ly brought from England, a relic in the Hill family, is now on exhibition in the window of Dean & Dean.

We are informed on nn-impeachable authority that there are not at present eight United States liquor licenses held by citizens ot Bellows Falls, as stated by Rev. G. W. Morrow, president ot the Vermont Anti-Saloon League, in his address in the Methodist church last Sunday evening, None of the drug stores have (hem, and some who hold licenses have not sold even two per cent beer during the year. The town agency has to be armed with a li cence and all dealers in one or two per cent beer. The selling of this beer is not in violation of the state law, but a govern ment license must be secured just the same. It is the opinion of good judges that very little of the ardent is now sold in Bellows Falls in violation of the law. The Brattleboro Fair. This year beats all previous records in the history of the Brattleboro fair. Thurs day the attendance was much larger than Wednesday, about 16,000 tickets being sold that day for admittance to the grounds. The parade Thursday morning was by far the greatest attraction, 42 carriages, wagons and floats participating; many oi thtm were very beautiful ard all were ingenious ly and tastily arranged. GRANDMA HAD CONSUMPTION and I am afraid I have in herited it. I do not feel well ; I have a cough ; my lungs are sore; am losing flesh. What shall I do?

The exhibits themselves were quite as good as on former years. The races were good, but on the whole rather unsatis factory owing to the fact that part of Wednesday's races were obliged to be completed Thursday and Thursday's not completed until Friday. The fastest time Thursday wai 2.15 3-4. The weather Thursday morning and the crowd waiting here at the depot easily fore told what that day. would be at Brattleboro. The whole number of tickets sold at this station was 687. The number last year was 489. Of the 687, three hundred and fifty four were sold Thursday. The "Bride Elect. "Meet me at The Bride Elect reception," has been a popular by word in New York for months, and is likely to become equal ly so in .Bellows falls alter toe engage ment of the March King's superb produc tion ot'The Bride lilect," the most re markable work ot all Sousa's lyrics, which comes to the opera house next Tuesday evening. For the past year, this opera has been heralded throughout the country, as one ot the most diverting and tuneful operas of its kind ever uffered to the public. The mu sic is most melodious, the ballets charming, the scenery and costnmes gorgeous, and the whole production one destined to live long in the memory of the theatergoers. It will be brought hereand given complete.just as it was produced in New York duriug its phenomenal run at the Knickerbocker 1 neater. A Fitchburg Deal. William K. Vanderbilt is credited with having just directed some correspondence to financial interests in .Boston which it will be easy to undertand. The New York Central management is resenting interfer ence with its Boston and Albany contract, and Mr. Vanderbilt has notified parties in interest that he is ready to abandon the en tire deal. The New York Central will take over the Fitchbure. That is the keynote of the situation now and that is the significance of remarks, and ot the correspondence The truth is that, from the Vanderbilt standpoint, the expectation was that the criticirm against the lease would be much more vehement in Mew xors than else where for the reason that New York might have reason to believe that western busi ness in large volume would be sent to Bos ton, where the terminal charges are less, and the commerce of Boston built up at the expense ot .New York. As it happened, New York criticism was not heard in any consequential way, while in Boston the criticism was bitter, tomentea, as aueged, by politicians. A Contented Woman. There will be presented at the opera house next Friday evening, an attraction that will command more tban ordinary at tention, and the attraction is "A Content ed Woman," according to all reports the best and most successtul comedy of that popular playwright, Charles Hoyt. As a rule. Mr. Hoyt never relies much upon plots or stories for a foundation ot his com edies, but in the cast 01 -a contented Woman" he has cleverly woven a well-defined plot and interesting story with many amusing compiieauims juin-wuig uuu upon the other, and which are happily worked out in Hoyt's most humorous vein. The story is bas-.d upon the law recently passed in some of the far western states giving the fair sex the right to vote, and making them eligible for mumciDal omces. The piece is in four scenes, all of which are laid in Denver, and the sceneiy used in the production is said to be the most pretentious Mr. Hoyt has ever presented Every particle of the scenery and all the stage accessaries, even to the rugs and bric-a-brac, in tact everything necessary to make the preaentation here identical with that given in in ew X or, win De orougui from Hoyt'a theater. The cast is said to be one of the strongest ever seen in a Hoyt comedy, beaded by Mies Belle Archer, wh is credited with being the most beau tiful woman upon the American stage. Hoyt's plays have a strong hold upon theater-goers, and deservedly so, tor he has always kept faith with the public on (he "road" and gives the smaller cities the same performance, the same cast and sce nery, as he presents in New York. This no doubt is one of the secrets of his great success, for the public are always willing to patronize liberal management. -As above stated, "A Contented Wo mdn" will create unusual interest, and it will be sure to receive a hearty welcome. Hood Farm Stock at Brattleboro. The exhibit of Jerseys and Berkshire from Hood Farm, Lowell, Mass., was a drawing feature of the Valley fair at Brat tleboro. The great Chromo of World's Fair fame who stood at the head ot a herd of Jerseys is a show himself, and another young bull. Brown Bessie's son 11th, at tracted much attention. He is a grandson ot the great Hood Farm cow. Brown Bes sie, winner of the 90 and 30 days' tests at the World'a Fair, Chicago, 1893. Brown Bessie's son, his sire, is at the head of the Hood Farm herd. Among the cows the most noticeable is Tormentor's Fancy Wax. She looks all over a prize winner, and we are told that neither she nor her dam. Fancy Wax, was ever beaten in the show ring. She has a test of 15 lb. 4 1-2 oz. Uersiiewas the imported bull, Tormentor. Another especially noticeable ccw is Nina Gordon, a daughter oi Sophie's Tormentor, th sire wi oupme itudson.who made za lbs. vi i-a oz. of butter in one week, ai d milked 60 lbs., 12 oz. io one day.

His sire was the ur beaten King Longfellow, a son of Longfellow and the peautiful im ported sow, l'innock's Pride, a litter sist r ot Lord Windsor, winner of sweepftakes tor yearling boar at the World's Fair, and of the Hood Farm sow Manor Poem B. The dam of Duke III. of Hood Farm was Duchess CXX1X , she being by the great $750 boar, Model Duke, and out ot no less a sow than Duchess CXX .tha nride ot that great breeder.N. H. Gentry. Among the sows are Duchess XII. and Duchess ii c od Firm, and about 20 others, all fine examnles ot the Berkshire hoir. The exhibition ot such stock at our country taiis must have a direct educating uuuence upon young larmers, who are thus able to see what it is Dossible to ac complish in breeding lines, provided the right foundation is laid in the blood ot the winners.

Paige of Burling ton, secretary of the Vermont Anti-Saloon league; Mrs. Putnam, a white-ribhoner from North Dako a, and the veteran Meth odist, R..v. J. A. Sherburne of Barre In the mythology of Ancient Greece Hymen, the god of marriage, was the half brother of Esculapius, the god of medi cine. The ancients believed that mar riage and health should go to gether, and as a result the Greeks of that time hay e ever since been looked upon as types ot physical pertection. Sickly moth ers cannot bear healthy children. The prospective mother should use every precaution to preserve ana rosier ner health. Not alone for the sake of the little one to come but for her own sake. A perfectly ucHiiny woman is in no danger and in very little pain at her time of trial. ' There must be due preparation for this time. Nature makes the prepara- yuva ixiice-iourcns oi a year and women who take the hint from nature and use the time properly need have no fears of the outcome. Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription is a medicine designed to cure all distinctly feminine ailments and taken during the period of gestation it renders childbirth easy, safe and com paratively painless. It is the invention of Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., a regularly graduated physician and skilled specialist in the cure of all diseases of woman. Mrs. Orrta Stllea. of Downing-. Dunn Co., Wis., writes: "1 cannot praise your "Favorite Pre scription' enough, for I have not been as well for five years as I now an. In July last I had a baby boy, weight H lbs. I was only sick a short time, and since I g-ot up have not had one sick day." Sick women can consult Dr. Pierce by letter free of charge. Every letter is held strictly private and aacredly confidential. Designing men work on women's feelings, by advising women to "write to a woman who understands woman's needs.,, It is useless to seek advice about disease of any woman who is not a phy sician.
