By the kindness of Mr.. L. W. Buzzell
we are privileged to copy from the Pas
adena (Cal.) daily Star of July II. the
following pleasing mention of Mr.. Joel
HI. Seabury, whom many of our old in
habitants well remember. We believe
Mr.. Harris formerly lived on the Charles
B. Harris farm in the north part of this
town, and went from here west, settling
on the Pacific slope: Joel Ell. Seabury
was born in Lamoille (then Washington
county, VT, Nov. 9TH, 1919. He left
there Feb. "a, 1852, and has been a

vote was cast in 1910 for Harrison and
Tyler. In 1914 he did not vote. being
absent from the State. In 1S4S he voted
for Van Buren,. In 1852 he voted for
Hale and King and cast the only vote of
that political color in Edwards county,
this state. In 1856 he voted for Fremont
in CamptOnville, Zuba county, and Dem
ocratic opposition was so strong that alb
clifton caucuses had to be held privately.
In 1860 he voted for Lincoln and reioiced
in having sufficient company to meet
openly to give expression to honest po-
litical sentiments. Since that time he
has been steadily with the Republican
party because of its defence of Ameri-
can interests at home and abroad. He
came to this section 81 years ago the 10th
day of this month. He has engaged in
mining most of the time since being on
this coast. He never married and has
no near relatives on this coast. Now
that he is old he looks back over long
and useful life of honest endeavor, re-
joices that he started right and has kept
in the right. The incidents of the log
cabin and hard cider campaign are vivid
ly before him. He listened to some of the
greatest orators in the early days of
Whiggery and became thoroughly i'm
bued with the principles they expound-
ed. His name is duly recorded with the
old guard and will march with grand
fathers club to the polls next Novem-
Der and vote for Harrison and Morton"

s. G. ATWOOD, for Com.
The sudden and unexpected death of
Miss Isadora Bennett, which occurred on
August Goth, caused her many friends
and acquaintance shock of severe grief.
She was born in Stowe, January 10, 1862.
Her short earthly existence was spent in
her native town. where she will be remem-
bered as faithful daughter, a sister of
unusual devotion, deservingly trusted |
friend. She was, indeed, cherished sun
beam in the home and community in
which she lived. Good in the fullest |
sense of the term, and her visible presence |
will long be missed among us.
But she leaves her silent presence
In the life that she hath known,
And in every seed of kindness
That her willing hands have sown.
