The Woodbury Granite company has just secured a (juarter million dollar con tract to lurnish granite lor the Mahon ing county court house which will be erected at Youngstown, Ohio. Manager George H. Hicklord of the local company has just returned from Ohio, where he has been staying for three weeks to land this contract, one of the biggest single jobs to come to Vermont concerns for some time. Concord, N. H., was trying hard for the contract, but the Woodbury company got it finally by the unanimous vote of the commission having the mat ter in charge. The fight between the two places has been on tor three months. This means a big thing for Hardwick, where the granite business has l)een rather dull for a year or more, and the people are rejoicing with the successful company. Manager Uickford states that all the work will be cut here. This will mean that the company will later add a large number of cutters, probably two hundred, to the one hundred that are already employed. WEST DANVILLE. Death of Mri. Alible Adams.

The best way that we know of to guard against these diseases is to strengthen the system with Hoou Sarsanarilla the greatest of all life guards. It removes the conditions in which these diseases make their most successful attack, gives vigor and tone to all the vital organs and functions, and imparts a genial warmth to the blood. Remember the weaker the system the greater the exposure to disease. Hood's Sarsaparilla makes the system strong. FOLEYS H0NEYTAR Cure Cotd Prevents Pneumonia Concord. Golden Weddtnr. Mr. and Mrs. II.

IN HUB MARKETS Quotations on Leading Product! In Demand Boston, Mar;h !). There Is an easj market for butter, with receipts in treasiug slowly. The jobbing quota tions are: Choice northern creamery, ai(.'!2c; western creamery, :Ka31e. Cheese Is iu moderate demaud, but as the supply is small prices are very firmly held. York state, 15 l-2al( l-2c. Vermont, 14 1-15 l-2c. Egg have been iu light supply anil prices have stitTened up a little, partly n this account and partly owing to the fact that New York was higher. Choice hennery and nearby, 27(i2.Sc; eastern extras, lM027c; western, U.VrjL'Oc. The local fruit and vegetable mar ket is gradually working toward a spring basis, both in prices and trad ing. Garden truck from the south has beeir a little scarce because of the cold weather in that section of the country, but the market Is well stocked with products from local greenhouses. Loeih dealers are not receiving many straw berries, but larger shipments are ex peeted as soon as warm weather strike the south. The movement of apples has beep very slow and they are somewhat weaker. There are lots of apples that sell at $l..W2.2."i. but strictly fancy fruit is not plenty and is high; retailers prefer to pay hgh prices and get good fruit rather than take the average of ferings at low prices. Iteeeipfs of potatoes have not been heavy, but they have been sufficient for the demand, and prh-es have been raili er easy. The Maine producing sections nre said to be pretty well cleaned up Prices at shipping points are tirm anil it Is not unlikely that local quotations will work up. The receipts of green string beans have increased a little and the price has gone down; wax .heaps however, remain scarce ami high. New southern cabbages have begun to come forward freely. They are large and ook good, but are soft. For that reason and because old native stock is plenty the new cabbages are cheap. They usu ally start the season at about $.'1.."0 a crate, but now they sell at $1.2567 1,50, There is a fair supply of celery from Florida and California, but not much native stuff. Cucumbers are tending downward, because the supply exceeds tlu demand. Kale and spinach from the south have been scarce, but hot bouse dandelions and beet greens have been coining along well. lettuce is tinner; the receipts, have been smaller and there has leen a big demand from outside markets.
