 Many friends in towRsympathize with Mir. and Mrs. H. T. Small (of Hartford) in the death, by drowning, at Sioux City, Iowa, on Wednesday of last week, of their son, Edward Leroy Small. He was 31 years of age, the oldest surviving son, and last but one. He was born in Stafford Springs, while his father was filling the position of postmaster here. He was g man of fine character, 8 good son, and having the respect and confidence of all who knew him. He was formerly teach CT in West Hartford, and at the time of his death was book-keeper at Sioux City National Bank. He was taken with cramps while bathing. The remains were inferred at Hartford on Tuesday

 The meeting called for counsel, of members of the Stafford Agricultural So- ciety, was attended by but three persons beside a representative of The Press, and by but one other village man. The natu- rai inference is that the people of Stafford Springs are but little interested in keeping the society alive. Those present were President Hyde, W. D. Holman of Holland, and E. G. Baker and James Mclaughlin of Stafford Springs. The lack of interest, if the people of Stafford Springs really think the society worthy of continued life, is, to put It mildly, discreditable.
