remarkable. Farmers here are economical,
there have been no bad seasons, no business

the strange fact remains that many of them

There are, 10 doubt, many honest men in

suspicion that there are some dishonest ones.
The New York state-house has cost the tax

house. Unless the public his a wrong i'm
preston, great deal Of the monsy app.o-
priated for it has gone into the pockets Of
politicians who have had charge Of its col
s.ruction.

The New York legislature is a republican
body, and, perhaps, they think that it is
their duty to cover up the rotUenness in
their own party 1t is a source of satisfac-
ton that in southern legislatures no such

the legislature Of the great state Of New
York. If the republican editors of New
York were to devote more time to the puri-
fication of politics in their own city and

public far greater service than they are
now doing. There Is field for mission
work at their very doors, which, for some

largest farmers in town, in his day; also

coffin in which his remains repose, quiet

EAST FLETCHER /.

Our people are shocked to learn of the
death of Mr.. E. o. Stafford. of Burling-
ton. Mr.. Stafford was well known in this
community, having been born in Cam
bridge. son of the late Gel Stafford. and
grand son of David Stafford, one of the
first settlers in that town aud the first
representative to the State Legislature
from Cambridge. Mr.. E. o. Stafford be-
gan his successful career as a mercantile
man as clerk for Martin Wires in Cam
bridge Boro, and afterwards commenced
to trade in a small way in his fathers old
store at the "Harbor," and thence to
Fletcher Center, where he lay the foun-
dation for his uuusfsss-success as a re-
tail and wholesale merchant. He was
ever a careful man, rather reticent in his
manner of speech and gentleman in
whom his patrons in this vicinity had i'm
plcit confidence. He leaves no direct
heirs, having buried his wife some years
since. Much praise is due Mr.. S. for the
DEVOTION manifested and care taken of his
very aged aunts on his fathers and moth
er's side, only one now being living.
Aunt Lydia Stafford Wilson must be near
ly 81 years old, and with Aunt Sally
Walbridge Powell, of Essex, are the two
oldest persons living born in the town of
Cambridge. Mention of their remarka-
BILE longevity was made in this paper

from its railroad bonded debt and all
other circumference. This is the last
pull at the rope and let us pull all
together.
The following is financial state
ment of the Indebtedness of the town
Of Morristown as appears from the
Auditors report of February, 1889:
Amount of orders outstanding Feb,
1888, and not paid, s1,140.85; amt.
of bonded debt, same date, S23, 800,
making the amount of the indebted
ness of the town one year ago,
S24, 640.S5. There now remains of
bonded debt 1000; there is also
one outstanding order not paid of
s44 40, making the present indebted
ness of the town SIP, 044.49. The
whole amount of debts paid during
the past year is SI2, 596.36. The
above figures do not include the as
sets of the town at the beginning of
'8S or 'S9, which are about equal in
either case.
