MANN Brattleboro 3000 at Bondville Fair.

The 21st annual fair of the Winhall Industrial society was held in Bondville Wednesday and drew a crowd estimated at 3000. The Wardsboro band furnished the music. The exhibits of cattle, horses and sheep were excellent and the vegetable display was a the best ever seen at a Bondville fair. Floral hall was well filled with pot and cut flowers and plants and the exhibit of ladies' handiwork was creditable in a marked degree. That a small mountain town containing only about 700 inhabitants should maintain annual fairs for 21 years shows a degree of creditable enterprise.

FEEL EVERY CHANGE OF THE WEATHER A Bad Back is Always Worse During Wet or Changeable Weather. Is your back like a barometer? Does it fortell every change of weather? Does every cold settle on your kidneys? Bring aching, throbbing pains? Does it disorder the urine? The kidneys are calling for help. Use Doan's Kidney Pills. Guaranteed by Brattleboro testimony. Harry N.

Holland, teamster, of 21 Canal street, Brattleboro, says: "I had serious trouble for over a year from a deranged condition of my kidneys. If 1 caught cold or brought too much strain on the muscles of the back the pains across my kidneys would be very severe. The trouble became so bad that I could not sleep but turned and twisted the whole night long. Learning about Doan's Kidney Pils I went to F. H.

Holden's drug store for them. Three boxes of this remedy ended all the trouble in my back, and since then, no matter how hard I work, I have only once or twice noticed a slight pain in my back, and that soon passed away."
