THE unexpected news Saturday even
ing that Mrs, DR.. Truman Martin (Lora
Hamlen) had died that day at her home
in Blu ffalo. N. Y, spread with great ra-
pidity, and many were the expressions
of sorrow. Mrs. Martin was universal
favorite in large circle in this her ma
tive place, and in measure had trans
ferred this social leadership to her new
home. There were many, therefore, to
mourn her sudden departure. The i'm.
mediate cause of death we are told was
heart disease, although she was just re-
covering from an illness and leaves a
baby boy little more than two weeks
old. The eldest, and daughter, about
three years of age. Mrs. Martin was
the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. D.
Hamlen, and was married to DIR. Martin
October 25th, 1882, by the Rev. E. II,
Garfield, d. d., in the Second Congre.
gational church of this village. Since
that time her yearly visits home have
been looked forward to with much
pleasure by the friends who crowded
the church at the time of her marriage. |
Mrs. Hamlen had been at her daughters |
side since before her illness, as stated
last week. The obsequies were at the
family residence in Buffalo, Tuesday af.
ternoOn, Mr.. Hamlen and Mortimer go
ing there as soon as possible after the
reception of the sad news. What made
the intelligence more startling to the in
tImate friends of Mrs. Martin here was
the fact that she had recovered so as to
ride out and had written several letters
home. Death came to her without
note of warning. She had risen to walk
across the floor, was taken with a terri
bile pain in her heart and fell to the |
floor. She was Immediately cared for
by the physician who was present, but
she passed to the rest of Paradise in a
few seconds of time.

The Town of bennington Reports.

These are in press and but for the an
nual delay of the auditors, would have
been issued before this date. The year
closed Feb. 1st. and since that regulation
was established each board of selectmen
have earnestly endeavored to comply
with the wishes of the people and get
the pamphlets into the hands Of the
voters as soon thereafter as possible
But for the auditors this would have
been the outcome for several years last
past. 1t is now thought that the print
ed reports will be issued the first or
middle of next week despite the delays
stated, which will he an improvement
on many past years,
From the selectmen's report we find
that there have been paid out as follows:

The selectmen's report shows that
there have been built this year four new
roads the Hoadley road, the Elm street
extension, the highway in front of the
Roman Catholic cemetery, and the road
to the west of the Battle Monument
Two of these were laid out in 1886 and
built in 1887. These roads cost 5000 and
yet the expenses of roads, rivers and
bridges now reported aggregate 50, SO4. =
40. This Is a very creditabie showing.
The tax payers will note that $4,000
more of the principal of bonded floating
debt of the town has been retired by its
own limitation and paid this year. 1t
will be glad day for the town when the
whole is wiped out Much of it was
foolishly contracted and each dollar paid
appreciates the value of all the real es
tate in town.
The reports of the other town officers
are not yet in hand. They will be sum.
married by the auditors. The selec:men,
as we are told, have had less sum of
money to do with than was anticipated,
the grand list being $500, less than last
year. The taxes abated aggregate $40.
These reports will be looked for with in.
terest.

mented because of paying for span of

ceipts were nearly 500 in excess of ex.

Helping the Right Side.

To help the right side is not only com mendable in generalpoint of view, but is judicious and prudent when that help is enlisted in behalf of the right side oi the body, just over the lower ribs in the region of the liver. The most efficient help is afforded by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an anti-billious medicine of in comparable efficacy. Inaction of the liver is accompanied by constipation, sick-headache, furred tongue, nausea, occasional vertigo, an unpleasant breath yellowness of the skin and ball of the eye. The author of these symptoms, liver complaint, routed by the Bitters is accompanied by them in it's flight Fever and ague, which always involves the liver, dyspepsia, rheumatism, debil- ity and kidney troubles are all maladies to the early relief and final cure of which this standard medicine is adapted. Do not use it by fits and starts, but syste- matically, that its full effects may result in a perfect restoration of health.

Inherited Diseases.

No fact of nature Is moro pregnant with awful meaning than the fact of the inheritance of disease.
 Modern science, which has illuminated so many dark corAers of nature, has shed new light on the ominous words of tho Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers, shall be visited upon the children unto the third and fourth genert tion." cancer and scrofula, run in families itary in @ marked degree, but, fortu. nately, like many other hereditary diseases, tends to wear itself out, the stock becoming extinct. A distin- guished scientist truly says: "No organ or texture of the body is exempt from the chance of being the subject of hereditary disease" Probably more chronic diseases, which permanently modify the structure and functions of the body, are more or less liable to be in- herited. The important and far-reaching practical deductions from such facts are obvious to reaecting minds, and the best means for preventing or curing these diseases is subject of intense in- tersst to all. Fortunately nature has provided a remedy, which experience has attested as infallible, and the reme. dy is the world-fanous Swif:'s Specific, a pure vegetable compound-nature's antidote for all blood poisons. To tho afflicted it is blessing of inestimable value. An interesting treatise on "Blood and Skin Diseases" will be mailed free by addressing

TATTLINGS FROM TAYLOR.

Pious people are praying for rain, but their prayers have not availed much, fol the rain which falleth upon "the jus and the unjust" has been withheld Crops generally are good, and some say above average. Gardens in this part o the Lords vineyard, are yielding vege- tables in abundance.
 The Taylor store is doing good busi- ness
 J. c. Kay is a jolly good fellow, al- waps ready for trade and everything goes with him, from buckle to thresh. ing machine. Joe is Democrat, but declares he will not accept the appoint ment of Apache Indian Agent, if Cleve- land is elected.
 Judge Lewis thinks Taylor is the prop CT place for the county seat. It is nearer the geographical center of the county, and has many advantages which Hol- brook does not boast of.
 The people are more harmonious and occasionally agree on some proposition. The postmaster says there is some thing wrong with the mail service.
 A. A. Armstrong will commence teach ing school in this district in September. He thinks that if he and Judge Wright can't agree on the law, he can teach school to the entire satisfaction of Armstrong, his Honor to the contrary notwithstanding. By the way, what are State teachers diplomas worth in the market?
 I have heard of men bringing theii gall west with them, but a publishing company of recent birth, has cheek and gall enough to make cast-iron monkey blush-send their paper to people who don't subscribe for it, or want it, and force it on them for six weeks, and then comes notice please remit" mean ing, probably, suit will follow if pay ment is not made.

We have heard several of our local epicures express the wish, with long drawn sigh, for the return of Henry Henson, the popular caterer of the Mon- arch lunch counter. Col Munroe is do- ing the best he can, under the circum- stances, during Henry's absence, and satisfies the average feeder, but some of the over-fastidious, and particularly those who are boarding at the expense of the taxpayers, are very anxious for the return of the presiding genius at the above named feeding place.

subject to the action of nominating con- ventions. The few in this county, who are willing to serve their fellow citizens, no matter at what sacrifice, appear to be too modest to adopt such a course, and are waiting, apparently, to have honors thrust upon them. Time, which waits for no man. is drawing slowly but surely on, and those who are ambitious are wasting precious moments. Why not take the bull by the horns, and let the people know that you are over flowing with patriotism and are willing to serve them at any sacrifice to your individual interests.

The hunting and fishing party, con- sisting of Messrs. Johnston, DaIby, Dar- ling and Henson, got home last Monday evening. They claim they had immense success. Messrs. Dalby and Johnston proved themselves expert fishermen, while Mir. Darling says he is not much on the fish, but if there are any bear in the country, they are his. From their account it rained the first day they were in camp, and they think-are not sure that it rained the second day. In fact they have vague, confused, indistinct idea that it rained every day.

The publisher of newspaper has one thing to sell and one thing to rent. He has the newspaper to sell and the space in its columns to rent. Can any one in- form us why he should be expected to give away either one or the other? He can do so if he chooses, and he does, as q matter of practical fact, furnish great deal of space rent free. But it does not follow that he ought to be expected to do it. It ought to be recognized as a contribution, exactly as would the giving away of sugar and coffee by the grocery man. But strange to say it is not looked upon in that light at all, yet every body knows that the existence of newspa- per depends as much upon the rent of its space and the sale of the paper as the merchants success depends on selling his goods instead of giving them away. --Ex.

Every one should see that their names are on the great register. County cleo tions are of far more importance to the taxpayer, whether large or small, than national ones.

Let those whose assessments have been raised, bear in mind thatth Board ot Supervisors will meet again on the third Monday in August, at which time all will be patiently heard who may think they have been unfairly treated or unreasonably assessed. They should also bear in mind, that it IS more than probable they will be required to make their statements under oath, and come prepared for such an emergency. Some thing like a year ago Judge Wright, in charging the grand jury, called their at- tention to the fact that great many, not only in Yavapai, but in this county, were suspected of making false returns of their property, and suggested to the jury that it was their duty to investigate such matters, and that they were not to be governed in such investigation by friendship or hatred, but were to treat all alike, and if they found any had per- iured themselves, to follow the law in such cases. It may be that he will do so again at our coming term of court.

Fashion.

And society, impose many privations upon the female sex, in the way of dress.

We suspect that the party of hunters and nimrods, who left St. Johns last Sunday, week ago, for hunt and fish in the White Mountains have been hay ing rather wet time of it for the past few days. There has been heavy cloud hanging over the mountains, off and on, for the past week, and from our knowi- edge of that locality, it is safe bet. they have had several good baths.
