pumpkin pie social" has been held ir Willoughby, Ohio. Upon a table Tn the middle of the vestry of the Methodist church were pies in round tins and square tins. yellow plates and white plates some were scolloped and some were plain some were yellow and some were brown, and all were very, very good. The pie that took the first prize was frosted, and the one that came next m merit was deliciously fiuted, so that the disaffected ladies who did not get either the cook book or the butter knife could toss their heads and sueer. Men are no judges, anyhow, for they always go by the looks." The tasting committee comprised a Iudicious farmer, a gentleman of leisure, and thin country doctor, and the three had to eat a small slice ot every pie in the room before they could announce the names of the best pie makers. These unfortunate gentlemen
 with their stomachs full of pie, had to SO to bed that night when the "sooiaP was over The substantial farmer may have escaped with wresJle with his grandfa' thers perturped spirit. but the gen tleman of leisure must have had theological ar gument with the Pilgrim Fathers, and as for the thin country doctor, the genera. tions from Adam and Noah down must have passed before him in dress parade.

OBITUARY.
WILLIAM H. WALTON SIR

Wm. N. Walton Sr., one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Salisbury, died at the residence of his son, John Wal ton Esq, on Thursday morning at o'clock a. m. MT. Walton was born in Salisbury on September 10th, 179l, and was conse- quently s6 years and about 1-2 months old. His father, Dr. Wm. N. Walton, was avery noted and successful physician, hay ing the chief practice in his day, riding on horseback, as was more common then, all over Salisbury and it's neighbor towns. He cied young at the age of 64. His mother was Mary Vessels of LitcEfeld, who died at the age of 62. Educated in his father'p profession. Mr. Walton preferred farw' no to practice, and had the farm on Tow, HiI recently occupied by MT. Geozge Walton . After time he became mercbr .nt,n Lake. vile and carried oa business with a marine, for twenty years or moro '.n building on the sits of Mr. Roberts present store. He then became the first President of the Iron bank at Falls Villpga, a position he retained Tor l7 years. He was many times choser as member of the legislature, and as select man 1"l = many years did the town good ser vice. He was an excellent business mar and was so much esteemed both for hi business abilities and integrity of characte that he was constantly called upon for th' responsible duty of settling up estates s' much 80 that he said ''he believed he had a one tune or another appraised most of th land in town" To the very last year he re tained his sound health, while his intellect seemed almost as bright as ever. It was { pleasure to see aud converse with him. ana one was reminded of Homer's description of the honeyed words of the aged Nestor, a wise and thoughtful sayings dropped iron the lips of this aged man in his 87th year He had not been quite as well as usual fo some months, but his last illness was bu brief. For day or two there was deliriun and suffenng-the struggle of his stronl frame with the last enemy-but the end wa very peaceful typical of that deeper peac his soul had found in the faith of Jesu Christ For some years Mr. Walton hat been devout communicant of the Protest ant Episcopal church, to the support O which be was liberal contributor.
