hence we expect to see him again in
due time.
Lewis R. Wood, an aged resident
of this village, died on Wednesday
night. He suffered paralytic attack
many years ago and has since been
in feeble condition. During the
present winter he has had other at
tacks which resulted in his death.
He came to this town from the west
side of the state some twenty years
ago, living in the mountain district
several years, previous to moving to
the village.
John Martin, son of W. H. Martin,
whose long sickness has been men,
toned, died this morning. John was
young man of much promise and
the loss to his father and only sister
will be a great affiiction. Funeral
services will be held at the residence
of n. M. Lewis, Tuesday morning at
II o'clock. Within the last six
years Mr.. Martin has lost his wife,
three daughters and two sons, all the
family except one daughter.
Many people seem to take it for
granted that a county newspaper is
run for the fun of it., or for their
special accommodation. Per contra
some poor fellow is putting in his
best ticks to make it buy his bread
and butter, and his source of income
is not on his subscriptions, but on
his advertisements. Hence those
wishing to advertise their business,
shows, balls and other things which
are to bring them custom or advant-
age, should pay the printer for the use
of his columns. We are in the habit
of doing all the work for religious de-
nominations free, also for education
al and benevolent enterprises, but
beyond this we expect pay for our
advertising and putting.
Mrs. G. G.. Stevens of West Glow
er has just completed a piece of
crayon work for US with which we
are much pleased. 1t is a crayon
picture of our little girl and is made
life size. The picture was made from
an enlarged photograph. An excel
lent negative was taken by Mr.. Will
son, our village photographer, this
was sent away and enlarged and Mrs.
Stevens crayoned it. The form and
expression are perfect. Those desir-
ing work in this line will do well to
address Mrs. Stevens. Speaking of
pictures, Mr.. Wilson recently made
some photographs on which there
were four generations. This was in
the Stiles family of Albany. He got
some very excellent pictures of the
group.
The funeral services of Harris D.
Flanders, whose death was mentioned
in our last issue, were held at the
Brick church on Wednesday, Rev.
Mr.. Tillotson of st. Johnsbury Off
ciating. The discourse was very
timely and we'll calculated to console
the friends and afflicted widow. Mr..
Tillotson alluded to the character of
the deceased, his standing in society,
his probity in business matters and
his faith in the dying hour. The re-
mains, placed in a metallic coffin, were
deposited in the tomb built by Mr..
and Mrs. Flanders some years since.
Mrs. Flanders, feeling that her neigh
bors have been very kind to her in
her affection, publishes the following
81 wish to express my heartfelt
thanks to all friends and neighbors
who so kindly and willingly assisted
me in the sickness, death and burial
of my beloved husband. l feel very
grateful to Mr.. Austin Mossman fol
responding to my many calls; also,
thanks to all who sympathize with
me in my great loss and loneliness. %

The next lecture will be held or
Wednesday evening, Rev. I. P
Frost giving his humorous lecture or
"The Yankee school house, Mr.
Frost lectured here twice last winter
giving the greatest satisfaction.
Rev. Edwin S. Locke, who some
time since was obliged to give uI
preaching, owing to ill health, wa.
violently attacked by what appeared
to be brain trouble On Tuesday last
but which has developed into pneu
monia with favorable SYMPTOMS. HI
is very low but strong hopes are en-
tertained of his recovery.
1t turns out that Mr.. NeiIl wht
has been preaching here for the Con
gregationalists some weeks, is no
what he claims to be, and the demon
nation has refused to tolerate hin
longer. 1t is stated that he haC
forged credentials, is not a membel
of any church, and is a sort of min
isterial vagabond who has neithe
place nor lot anywhere. The pastors
of the denomination will look hi
case up and let it be known jus
what his character and standing is il
report to be published hereafter.
