The man who coughs and waits for the cough to go of its own accord, saves the price of a bottle of potaska at the risk of his life.
 Among the numerous systems the one most to be thought of is the human system. Treat it with potaska when diphthera Is in vogue. Of course you're hoarse and cross. I wish you'd go to Alaska You'll never improve till you make 6 move and get yourself some potaska.

Just take look at those new goods at George L. Parsons store. There are two reasons why they sell rapidly; first, they cannot be surpassed for beauty or style; second, they are sold at the low est living prices Plant some of those early sunrise potatoes and Bliss Ameri- can wonder peas that Mir Parsons tells you about in his new advertisement.
 The new mercantile firm of Mes sick X Cone of Norfolk, have already started on the direct road to success. They have a new store and their new goods are bought for cash. They also use that powerful lever, printers ink, to notify the public, where goods can be purchased at bottom prices. They are enterprising, wide awake business men and their sagacity is displayed in calling to their assistance the services of Mir J. K. Shepard, whose many years of mer- cantile experience will prevent their purchasing unstable goods or giving credit to irresponsible parties. Their advertisement in another column tells the story. Read it.

HENRY s. NORTON.

Henry s. Norton, 8 native and for many years resident ofSalisbury, Conn. died at Madison, Conn.,, March 20, in the 84th year of his age.
 Mir Norton had kind and genial na- ture; was an enthusiastic lover of nature and to the last cherished warm affec- tion for his native town and the friends of his early manhood.
 In his home at New Haven and after wards at Madison, he prized most high ly landscape of the Twin Lakes, paint ed by J. B. Spencer, which he was fond of displaying to his visitors as repre- sentative of our finest scenes in the country.
 His last visit to Salisbury was on the occasion of the masonic celebration in June last, at which time he, with the late Dr Cleaveland, represented the an eient membership of Montgomery lodge.
 He was the last of his generation; his sister, Mrs Sterling, having preceded him to the grave by few weeks only.
 For nearly half century he was a consistent Christian and his end was peace.

MRS JANE LAWRENCE FRANKLIN.

On Monday, March IT, quietly and peacefully as for 75 years she had lived, there passed from among us into ''the better land, Mrs Jane Lawrence Frank lin, native of Canaan, born July 29, 1908,
 Her entire life was passed in this town. She united with the Congrega- tional church in 1881 ,and for more than 50 years her life among us has been a marked exemplifcation of the beauty and purity of the religion she professed.
 In November, 1882, she married Charles W. Franklin and enjoyed nearly 50 years of a happy welded life, MT Franklin's death occurring about two years since.
 Frail as was her physical frame, her spirit was strong to endure, and bereave- ment and pain were alike met with un- murmuring patience, not only, but with cheerfulness that was very attractive.
 Of few can it be more justly said, that she well filled her allotted sphere and that the world is better for her having lived in it.

reluctantly consented to accept the presidency of the Canaan Water com- pany, which he held at the time of his death. He was director of the Nation al Iron bank, Falls Village, and trustee of the Canaan Savings bank. While he took much interest in public affairs, he was not a strong partisan. He had his own opinions, but was willing that others should have theirs, and that they should have the same rights and privi- leges he enjoyed himself.
 Mir Ward was member of the Meth odist Episcopal church as his father had been before him, and was always a lib eral supporter of the church, as he was in fact of every good cause Verify, The good die first, but they whose bones are dry as summer dust, burn to the socket" Neighbor, friend, fare thee well.

SAMUEL L. FERGUSON.

Samuel l.. Ferguson died of consump- tion at h1s home in this town at II o'clock on Friday evening, March q.
 He was born February Is, 1861. The most of his life has been passed at home on his fathers farm. He was of an &C., tive, stirring, nervous temperament, al- though of delicate constitution. His ambition was greater than his physical strength, therefore he always studied and worked too hard He early evinced 1 8 passion for books; was great reader and diligent student. His attendance at the public school was less than the average. He preferred to study at home and he mastered many higher branches not taught in the public school. He studied Latin and Greek and recited them to Rev H. I. Bodley. He tanght the public school in his district the winter of 1891-2. He attended the Le- high university at Lehigh. Penn, the winter of 1882-3, and passed an honor able examination, taking the prize in history and in general studies standing eighth in class of 75 competitors, but his health failing he was obliged to re- hnquish his studies and return home, where loving hearts, willing hands and medical skill have ministered to his comfort and done everything possible for his relief, but within less than year from the time he stood the pride and envy of his class mates at Lehigh uni versitY he has passed to "that undiscov- cred country, from whose bourm no traveller returns"
 He possessed remarkable memory and could instantly mention any name and date in history. He was preparing to practice law and would have been a valuable acquisition to that profession. He was young man of spotless charac- ter, noble, generous and true, favorite with all and had his life been spared there is no position to which he might not have aspired.
 The loss of one so young and prom ising seems especially sad and unfortu- nate and his untimely death is mourned not only by large circle of friends and relatives, but by the whole community.
