Peachan.

An appropriate feature in observance
of ArbOr day in Peacham was the
planting of an elm tree in memory of
the late j. o. COwles. A dedicatOry
prayer was offered and an address
made by his pastor, Rev. 5. S. Martyr,
and hymns sung by the choir of the
Congregational church, of which Mr..
Cowles at the time his death was clerk
and of which he had been since 1881 a
useful, and for many years leading
and active member. The interest shown
by Mr.. Cowles in matters pertaining to
horticulture, as also his participation
in affairs of public nature in the well
fare of the town, rendered the tribute
thus paid especially fitting. The dedi-
catory exercises, without, however,
any planning to that end, took place
at the same hour-a little past 3 o'clock
in the afternoon-when just a week
before, Mr.. Cowles, returning home
apparently in good health, rode by the
same spot but short time before he
passed away without warning or
scarcely a sign while asleep in his
chair.
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. A. Bunker, principal
and pIeceptress of the academy, were
madet he recipients of an agreeable sur
prise Arbor day in the planting of two
elm trees in their honor by former and
present pupils under their instruction
The trees were set out in the academy
yard, at either corner of the school
building. Exercises, consisting of an
address by Loren E. Partridge, at pres
ent member, music under the joint
direction of Mr.. c. A. Rowe and Miss
Carrie Brownell, the reading of the
governors Arbor day proclamation by
Lafayette Strobridge, and recitations
by the Misses Mary L. Martin and
Nelly NJ. Harvey, were followed by &
collation. and social reunion in the
room of the academy. Not the least
enjoyable part of the occasion was the
manner in which the unsuspecting
couple were taken aback. Mr.. Bunker
has frequently Occasioned surprise tt
his scholars by seeming the mischie
afar off, but not often is he himself
caught mapping. This time, however
the tables were turned. The ensuing
summer term will complete the eigh
tcenth year of Mr.. Bunker's charge o
the academy, a longer period than that
covered by any of his predecessors
and though still in the prime of life, he
is fast becoming surrounded by those
who, once his boys and girls in school
are now companions in the work and
business of life, rejecting credit upOr
their former instructor and holding
both him and his wife-tO whom he il
indebted for no small part of his sue
cess-in personal esteem.

Those who point out the mistakes of
President Cleveland are the true
friends of reform in the civil service.
If the president is as judicious as his
early appointments indicated, he will
improve by the criticisms OIL his late
New England appointments.

The comments of the press on the
appointment of the Pillsbury crowd
indicate that the real, true-blue, thor
ough- going partisan is about the same
whether he call himself republican or
democrat. The partisan defends a
mistake on the ground that it is dis
LOYALTY to party not to do so.

What 1t Does {:

1t protects against adversely in business.
Ii is 4 protection for lite insurance policies.
1t is an investment and protection cOmbred.
1t is better than q. 5. Governments, and equally
It protects dependent ones against the cOntin-
geDcy of death.
1t is a safe, sure and desirable investment and
within the reach of all.
1t guarantees that a certain amount of money,
with interest, will be accumulated in specified
time.
The amount that life insurance would cost should
be credited profit the Bond il takes the
place of such insurance.
The instruments paid are like deposits made in
Savings Bank, and returned TO the Bond holder
at his option.
The Bond natures at a specified time, or at pre-
vious death for its face value, and guarantees
definite sum in cash any year after the first
The instruments paid on the Bond can be used in
business by hypOthecating it, This is "A great adj
vantage to those who may at any time need all the
money they can command o raise.
The 100000 policies representing over two bill
lions of dollars of lapsed surrendered insurance
between 1870 and 1880 would have been saved by
these Bonds.
The Bond is not hampered by any conditions or
restrictions and its cash value cannot be impaired
OF leOpardized.
The Bond affords the very best security, and is
negotiable the same as any other bond or stock.
Under this Bond you PAY as you go. stop

NJ. Bum, Governor of the Territory
