THE

Has made arransreiuents to furnish
at the lowest possible price, for the
season of 1896,
Gas Heaters,
Oobk Stoves,
Ranges,
Hot Water
Heaters,
nnd
BATH-ROOM APPLIANCES.
The great improvement made in
this line of goods during the past
two years has made Gas Stoves for
summer use supersede coal oil or
gasoline stoves whcrever gas can be
uscd.
Thc safety and economy of their
use is apparent, there being no
smell, no soot, smoke or explosives.
For cooking they excel all kinds
of summei stoves, having a uniform
ity of heat that cannot be obtained
from oil or gasoline. The degree of
heat can be controlled without
trouble, and tlie stove left to do its
work with pi'rfect safety.
These stoves can be seen at the
store of E. F. Waudweli., who will
take orders to furnish any kind not
in stock, which can be supplied 011 a
few days' notice.

ing. Mr. F. F. Field of North

More
Curative power is , coiitained in
Hood's Sarsaparilla ' than in any
other similar preparation. It costs
the proprietor and manufactuicr
more. It costs the jobber more and
it is worth more to the consumer.
More skill is required in its prepara
tion and it combines more remedial
qualities than any other medicine.
Consequently it has a record of more
ctires and its sales are more than
those of any other preparation.
Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best medi
cine to buy because it is an honest

find many victims in Southcrn Ver
mont. The forest fires which has been
smouldering for a week at tlie base
of Mt. Mansfield was fannetl into a
rlame Saturday afternoon by the
strong south wind and in spitc of the
heroic efforts of the dwellers of that
section thc fire raged furiously until
it was cbecked by thc heavy rain
Sunday morning. About a hundred
acres of valuablc tiniber land bclong
ing to Edniund Corbett of Cam
bridge was burned over and but for
the timel rain the wholc motintain
side would have been ruincd. The
roar of the tlames, like a train of
cars, was heard for miles away.
