ing. Mr.. Farman had many warm
friends in town, was of a genial dis
position and will be greatly missed.
He was perhaps the only person in
town who at the age of 50 years
could say that they did not know the
taste of Intoxicating liquor. He
leaves a widow and aged parents,
and as he was their last child of a
family of seven, the loss falls heavi- |
ly upon them.
We wish to express our thanks to the
nei ghbors and friends who so kindly as
sisted us at the time of the death and
burial of our husband and son.

To lovers of nature as developed
in mountain, lake and farm scenery,
1t must be severe strain on his i'm
agination to picture natural beauty
grander, more sublime, or awe-inspir-
ing in the radius of a days journey,
from Willoughby Lake and its sur
roundings, than one can find there in
few days sojourn, on its borders.
1t embraces sheet of water combin-
ing all the elements to crafty the
seekers of recreation. Its mountain
scenery is unsurpassed. The hospi-
tality of the public and private hous-
es none can take exception to, as the
testimony of the writer and numer-
Gus other seekers for rest, health and
recreation during few days past
will substantiate. Capt. Ruggles's
little propeller the "Wiwurna," built
this season by F. E. Ruggles of West
Burke and placed in the waters
Tuesday June Sth, is a marvel of
neatness, power and grace seldom
found in our fresh waters. She is
% feet long, 5x10 wide, draws %
inches of water, is driven by four
horse power engine, is capable of
accommodating from II to 10 per-
sons and will make 10 miles an hour !;
and for grace she is perfect gem.
Mr.. Ruggle's principal object is to
enjoy himself in fishing, boating aud
entertaining his invalid wife during
short period in the hot summer
months, while his business at West
Burke will permit him to be away.
His genial good nature wins for him
host of friends and he is almost
forced to make his season of person
al recreation one of business, to an
swer the demands made upon him.
Not only is he acquainted with every
cave and inlet, with all surrounding
objects, but his social qualities will
make one feel we'll paid to engage
with him for trip around the lake
Mr.. Ruggles boards at II. H. Gil
mans hotel, and will take out pleas
