Joshua y. ThOnpsOn,
SIX years.

Since the death of the deeply lamented
Stephen Coburn. it transpires that another of
the same college class has passed away.
Joshua S. Thompson was born in Industry,
in this State. Oct, IL, 1915, and with his
brother WIN H., graduated from Waterville
College (noS Colby University in 1899.
He studied law with the late ex-U. s. Sena-
tor W. b. s. Moor of waterville, and was
admitted to the bar, but owing to delicate
health was obliged to seek more friendly
climate, and accordingly took up his resi-
dence in Swedesboro, n J., in 1912. Here
he became successor to his lamented brother,
VIM. H., who died that year while principal
of the Swedesboro Academy. After teaching
about two wears, Mr.. +. entered upon the active
duties of his chosen profession, which he prose
cuted up to the time of his death. In ls49 he was
made Prosecutor of the Pleas" and held the
position for % years. In December, 1874.
he was married 10 Miss Francis $. Garrison.
daughter of DR. Charles Garrison of Swedes-
boro His wife and their five children all
survive him. He was very happy in his fam
ily. and to its members his death is an ire
parable loss. For many years he was COM
municant and also a vestryman in the Epis-
copal church. To his pluck and courage in
whatever he undertook, the local papers Of
the precinct bears testimony in these emphatic
terms:
To Joshua s. Thompson, more than to any
other man, are the people OF SWEDISH IN
dehted for the railroad which runs from
Woodbury. TO this place. For period of
over IL years Mr.. Thompson worked. and
talked. and agitated the subject of a railroad,
and finally succeeded in arousing the public
sentiment to the point of action and, through
his efforts. "A charter was procured in the year
1866, and on the 10th day of September, ls6?,
the frs, train was run over the road. This
road stands as monument to the undaunted
energy and perseverance, Of the one man in
all this vicinity who persisted in his effort
until his purpose was accomplished. MT
Thompson showed deep interest in every
thing that tended to the improvement and
VOL being of the town; he worked with
will for the establishment Of newspaper,
and in ali the enterprises for the good OF the
! community he evinced an interest worthy OF
imitation.
His last sickness was of short duration, and
his death occurred Nov. l, 1881.
Ii seems fitting that the press OF his native
State should say this much of this good and
useful man. 4 brother of his died IN this
city many years ago, and, until within COM
paratively recent date, two of hi sisters
known TO many of our people. have continued

NOWADAYS about half of the adult male
population carry revolvers in their hip peck
eu. The sale of fire arms has increased
immensely of late years. Formerly the
head of the family relied for protection upon
arusty shotgun, standing by the bedside;
out since the advent Of tramps and !the nu-
merous outrages committed by these vags-
bonds, farmers and business men generally
nave purchased revolvers. The favorite size
Tor the pocket is calibre %. which carries
bullet about the size of pea, We suppose
mat 1t is possible for man to do execution
with one of these diminutive weapons, but
they are not very formidable. Next comes
revolvers Of SO calibre, which look more
nke business. Policemen and night watch
men are generally armed with self-cocking
revolvers, IS calibre. which are ugly looking
weapons. A good revolver costs from IS to
sss. Many gentlemen and ladies purchase
rcvoivers for target practise. Most every
young man who leaves Augusta for the West
purchases heavy revolver a. indispensa-
ole part of his outfit. To avoid accidents
one chamber of the revolver should
uways be left unloaded, against which
we manner should be allowed to rest. After
