The vinaI Haven Granite Business


1t was stated in communication to the
PRESS recently that the death of Governor
Bodwell had seriously affected the granite
interests of Vinal Haven, and that in conse-
quence the Bodwell Granite Company had
recently lost an important contract and dis
charged large number of its workmen.
While the loss of the founder and president
of the Company is severely felt, the state
ment that its business interests have been
affected, and of failure to secure important
contracts, and the consequent discharge of
employees, is without the least foundation in
fact whatever. The company has had no
contracts in contemplation for the past six
months which have not been secured and on
which it is not now working. 1t has al
ways been the company's custom to reduce
the crews somewhat during the winter
months, but it will work larger force of
men, and operate at least two more Quarries
during the present winter than for several
winters past, and the business of the compa-
ny is in as fiourishing condition as at any
time since its organization.

PENDANT and relied on by him must be treated as
am organization of the pew owners of the meeting
house as corporation under r. S. OF 1871, C. IL,
IS 81 and 80.
% By 33 of said chapter such corporation,
by majority vote of its members may control
tie meeting house, &c. It must be done at a
meeting of the corporation, duly called thei efor.
1t cannot be done at a meeting, called by a JUS
tice OF the peace, on an application to lin there
for for the purpose of organizing the corporation.
The meeting called is not a meeting OF the
corporation, but one called before there was a
corporation.
g. II does not appear by the record that a ma
iority of the members OF the corporation were
present or voted to repair, raise the money or
assess il on the pews.
a. The assessors had no authority to add to the
sum raised oyerlay at their pleasure and assess
il on the pews. We find no statute authority for
it. and in the absence of such authority they had
power TO assess the sum raised only. In adding
the overlay they exceeded their power and for
this reason the assessment was void. Judgment

Back and Shoulders

Are the parts usually attacked by rheumatism;
and the joints at the knees. ankles, hips and
wrists are also sometimes affected. The cause of
rheumatism is Tactic acid circulating with the
blood, which attacks the joints and causes the To-
cal manifestations-th pains and aches of the
disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla purifies and enrich
es the blood, and has proven wonderful remedy
for rheumatism.
Eight years ago l had inflammatory rheuma-
tism, being confined TO the bed three months.
Last year / was laid up six weeks with rheumatic
fever. A short time ago felt pains all over my
body, and thought was In for it again. l then
decided to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t has done
me so much good that must say made a good
investment of one dollar in medicine for the first
time. 1t has driven off the rheumatism and i'm
