We regret TO announce the death, in this vii
lage, ct the house of his son, Rev c. S. Smith,
Of Dr. AARON Syirn. lie died last evening, Nov.
., after a brief illness, of Pneumonia. lie was
i'll but single week. and no skill could break
the force of his disease.
Dr. Smith has been a resident Of this town for
nearly four years, and though at an advanced
age, had won the respect and love Of all who
knew him. lie moved into this place in 1865,
from Hardwick, whore he had practiced his pro-
lession since 1911. lie was born in Hanover, n
H., in 1856, and was eighty-two years of age at
the time Of his death DIR. Smith was one of the
most intelligent and accomplished physicians Of
the State during the long period of his active
practice None who knew him, or enjoyed tn,
benefit Of his professional Services, but will re
member his assiduty, his skill, and his vigorous
and successful treatment. lie always won III,
confidence and affection Of his patients, for h,
added to his medical experience and knowledge
the most unqualified sympathy and hithfulnesi
TO his trust. lie was generous and considemt'
to the poor, and 50, with an extensive practice
he amassed but little property. lie was maj
Of deep religious experiences, and uncompromis
ing truthfulness and steadhstness to his conyic
tons. lie died in the hope Of christian faith
trusting that he was reeonciled to God through
Jesus Christ. So pass from us the strong an,
noble men of former generation, whose mau
enoe and moral power have largely tended 4
make our State so rich in it, principles of eiyi

Another Hundred Mile Advance Towards
the Pacific.

Announcements Of the opening OF successive
sections Of the Union Pacific Railroad succeed
each other 50 rapidly that one can hardly keep
pace with them. Last year $40 miles was the
limit OF the locomotives advance last summer
the laying of the Tooth mile was witnessed by a
party Of eastern editors who told the story Of the
road's progress to their millions Of readers Sep
TENDER saw 500 miles in operation; and the beau
tiful pamphlet of the company, then issued, made
that stage of progress familiar to hundreds Of
thousands Of interested readers but now, wher
we have just learned the place upon the MAJ
where our pencil might mark that s0Oth mile-post
behold we have another bulletin from the END
Of the track that 800 miles are completed. When
and where will this wonderful and bewildernl
progress stop? Evidently not until the builders
of the Union Pacific, and they Of the Central Pa
ciic, shall meet somewhere TO the west of Sal
Lake, and wed, with iron bands, the Atlantic and
the Pacific. That time and ceremony are not ai
off. The charter of Congress says it must be by

AFTERNOON.
The Consumers of Wages

At this day, are strong drink, cigars costly teams
and expensive clothing. The latter is INDUCED
in obedience to fashion, and under the apprehen-
sion that the wearer will be regarded as niggarl-
~ If appearances are not maintained Costly
teams or rides are INDUCED by those who are very
anxious to do the agreeble, and have little judg-
ment. But cigarsare nearya universally among
the men. They deyour them by the million, as
il they We're doing service 10 the most exacting
deity. 1t is done also under the impre- sion that
It sayors Of nobility, and renders man distin-
gltished. IL IS 50 much money SPENT and itneed
not have been. But for the appearance, it would
not have been but when the appearance is fully
enjoyed, the appetite Is fully confirmed and there
is no release. Indulgence is barrcaded with
sQphistry, for what a man practices he must JUS
tiy - he easily believes it is necessary. his
health requires it, and his appetite will not be
satisfied if he does not indulge it. But this con-
sunes his wages. lie has received large pay,
bot well paid men are those who can afford luxu-
ries, and this as a leading one and when, at the
close OF the year, accounts are balanced they say
they have made nothing. They have lust brought
the year around. Many poor imtator has not
done that. lie also loved cigars they became a
necessity to him. His pocketbook was not well
lined, but his appetite is uncomfortable So the
appetite was gratihed and the pocketbook was
stripped Of its lining, and many other debts were
lelt unpaid. clerk with fair pay INDUCES in
cigars a "a mode. II he pays for them, and his
livery bills, his tailor or his boarding mistress
must suffer, The necessaries he must be trusted
for, the luxuries demand all his ready means.
But with what prospect can such young man
look forward to coming years? He anticipates
larger wages or greater profits while the expenses
are hidden. lie does not allow himself TO dwell
on this latter view for fear it would be dscour-
aging, but takes another cigar and puiIs away
sober, earnest thought and all aDDrehension al
gathering ills. This is covering his ewes 10 evils
that threaten, but it is not removing them. They
come steadily on, and, like theayalanche, oyerturn
all his feeble deiences, and bury the poor child ii
appetite and extnwgance in the contempt Of
those whose good opinion would be to them life.
Will not enter on statistics to-day, butperhaps il
would not be amiss to state that Of all the failures
made IN the commercial world, and failures Of EN-
ployees TO meet the expectations of employers, TO-
baeco Is very prominent cause What IL the to-
baeeo consumed in the United States is only sos
