and the crop is sure We think this
writer undertakes the artichokc in com
pairing it with the turnip. Ii is far more
nutritious.

Hon BENJAMIN J. HERRICK, of Alfred, who
died at the residence OF his son-in-law, Syl-
vester Lttlefeld Esq, yesterday morn
ing, was born in Norwich, CONNECTICUT
April s, 1871. His parents removed soon
after his birth, to Beverly, Mass where they
subsequently, resided. While mere lad he
came to Topsham in this State, at which place
he spent several years with his uncle (Hon.
Benjamin Jones Porter). who was leading
merchant, as well as one Of the most nhuen-
tial politicians in the State.
In 1913 he went to Danvers, Mass and be-
came one of the lessees of the cotton mill at
that place-it being one of the first started in
this country.
He went to Alfred where he has ever since
resided, about the year 1916, and engaged in
mercantile pursuits. He was soon after ap-
pointed Deputy Sheriff, which position he held
for several years, and had the reputation of
being one of the best and most efficient off :
GERS ever known in that county. In about
the year 1894, he was appointed by Sheriff
Seaver Jailer at Alfred, which latter position
he vacated in 1880 on the coming in of the
Hunton administration. In September of the
latter year he was elected member of the
Legislature, in which he held prominent and
influential position. His opponent was the
late Judge Goodenow, who was the candidate
of the Wing party, and had the prestige Of
having been Speaker of the House the year
| previous.
In the following spring us3D he was APP
| pointed by Governor Smith, High Sheriff Of
-xI.o I ~;ol, T.
| charged with great satisfaction until 1886. In
the fall of the latter year he resigned the office
of. Sheriff to enter upon that of Register o
Deeds to which he had been elected. He held
the latter position until April 1S47-at his re
election in 1S41, he is sid to have received the
largest majority ever given candidate of hi
| party in York county-rising 1000.
| He filled the position of Brigade Major ant
Inspector for many years in the Militia of thi
State.
| He was for many years Town Clerk ant
| Chairman of Board of Selectmen. He wa
an active member of the Masonic order, an
one of the Oldest members in the State.
He has taken an active part in educatioBa
and religious interests in his town and was
leading and prominent member of the Metho
dist Episcopal church and for many years wa
member of the Board of Trustees of tn
Maine Wesleyan Seminary, one of the leadin
institutions OF the kind in the State.
He was married January IA, 1919, to Mis-
Mary Conant daughter oil the late Nathani'
Conant, Esq, Of Alfred, who died Novembe
80, 1868.
He leaves two sons and two daughters-tl
eldest daughter is the wife Of Sylvester Littl'
field, Esq, of Alfred, and the youngest IL
wife of Hon. John NJ. Goodwin of Biddefor,

extent of that discrimination would the cot
