Obituary.


Dr. Joseph Addison Parsons died at his
residence in Windham on the 9th inst He
was born in Parsonsfeld, Me-, in 1915, and
was the last of family of sixteen children.
1t seems fitting ON this occasion that some
public expression be made of one so well and
favorably known. As a physician he was
widely known and continued in active prac-
tice till about twelve years ago, when from
feeble health he was obliged to abandon it.
Although not an aggressive practitioner he
was safe, honest and good counselor. To
his brother physicians he was kind and gen.
erous; a firm friend of the younger members
often cheering them in their dark, discourag-
ing moments. That his helpful words, pleas
ing stories and hearty laughter have given to
many sufferer new lease of life, there is
abundant testimony from his former pa
tientS.
By his death, his family loses kind and
devoted husband, and the community an es-
teemed and honored citizen. DR.. Parsons
possessed many traits of character which
make the great and good man; honesty, be-
nevolence, charity and kindness were inner
in his fellowship with others, social and ge-
nial in the extreme, he was the friend and
companion, well worthy the esteem and re-
membrance of all.
He was pioneer in the cause of freedom !;
one of the few who, when it was quite un-
popular, openly by word and vote, opposed
slavery; one, through whose efforts and ex-
ample Windham and the adjacent towns
took advanced action against slavery in the
early period of it's agitation. The temper
ance cause also has received his unqualified
Whatever tended to elevate society and
place humanity upon a higher level received
his aid and approval. His private and pub
lie acts were governed by strong convictions
of duty, and not from hope of Office or emol-
ument.
After an intimate acquaintance of about
fifty years with him, the writer can truly
kind neighbor and a true friend has left us:
We regret our loss, yet the remembrance of
his many virtues will cheer us onward to no,
bier aims and purposes in life.

Strike of Foundrynen.

Seven out of the nineteen men employed
by Mr.. Kelly, at his foundry on Cross street,
quit work Wednesday. Mr.Kelly says NUM-
Der of these men are his relatives, whom he
has given work and helped. A short time
ago he discharged three of the workmen.
Soon after he received request from the
men for weekly payments. Mr.. Kelly says
he could not afford to comply, as his business
was not prosperous, but as soon as it was he
would. Then committee of the Knights Of
Labor waited on him and demanded that the
discharged men should be restored and
weekly payments made. Mr.. Kelly said he
wouldn't restore the discharged men and
wouldn't agree to make weekly payments,
but would pay the men at the end of their
days labor. The seven men went out We'd
nesday night and continue out.
