lCORRESPoNDENCE.l
The epizootic has attacked the hu-
mans and is having a general run as il
did with the equine race, and is prov
ing more troublesome.
The revival mentioned last week
has not been as successful as it should
have been, resulting thus far in but
little save a warming up of the zeal of
the members of the church. More
fattering results are anticipated the
coming week.
Mrs. Susan Hinckley died last week
at the advanced age of 81 years and
days. The deceased came into this
place with her husband, Benjamin,
from Wilmington, Conn.,, in 1913, and
settled on the same farm where she
died, having resided on the same To-
cation just 6U years. Her husband
taught the first school in Hiram. Mr..
HinckIey died in 1885, since which
time, SO years. the widow had lived
most OF the time entirely alone near
the residence of her son, Eber D., who
has been unremitting in his Kindness
and care of his mother.
Among the large number of persons
in this vicinity who embraced the,
Mormon doctrine when the prophet
Joseph resided in this place, was the
deceased, who, since she professed be-
lief, has remained faithful to the last,
and i'll all her numerous acts of kind
ness and charity to the poor, she has
had s.thus saith the Lord" patiently
and faithfully for long years, she has
waited. the coming of her. Lord and
Prophet. Her dress for the. tomb
made and prepared with her own
hands, with the full consciousness,
that through her belief, Life eter-
nal" would be her reward.
Numerous are they who will ridi-
cule and scoff her belief, but that she
was just as honest, sincere and consci-
entious, in her belief as others are of
different doctrines, none can deny.
1t is certain that no liberal or dis
believer would bar Heavens gates
against her, and what believer, ,howey-
er orthodox. acquainted with her ma
ny virtues, her honesty, her sincerity,
her charity, her exemplary life, would
Danish her from the joys, she almost
knew were hers beyond the grave. q

Winter came upon Us this season
early and strong, one might almost
think we are transported far towards
towards the polar regions or else the
winters are getting colder. Some
point to the last OF the winter to be
the hardest. If that is true what will
the last be?
The Sunday School Convention
held in this place was well attended
and much interest taken by those
present.
Last week was the week of prayer
and was participated in by the differ
ent churches holding joint meetings.
+ ACCIDENTAL few days ago while
Mr.. Benjamin Bingham was cutting
feed for his stock by horse power, his
son was standing near, when the dog
came to the boy and jumped up
against him in play. The boy threw
out his left hand 10 guard against falls
ing, when all his fingers and thumb
were caught by the cogwheels all pass
ing through braking the bones and
tearing the flesh SO much that three
fingers and thumb had to be amputa-
ted. This sad affair will MAIN the
boy for life.
hOKbE OOhED RI n OOW.-A- morse
belonging to Mr.. G. Benton was
struck in the throat under the collar
by G COW belonging to Mr.. j. Fifer.
The horn passed upward four or five
inches along side of the windpipe, in-
fiicting serious though not fatal
wound.
SUDDEN DEATH.-On last Friday
morning Mr.. Henry Stump complain
ed of not feeling we'll, though not go
i'll as to prevent himself from at
tending funeral; +; but upon his ar
rival home he had to be assisted into
his house, and before the next morn
ing he died. He leaves a wife and
several children. lie was about forty
years old.
