her remains were brought here for burial.
Mrs. Robinson left her old home in Bar
ton some months since to go to reside in
Littleton, where her son had employment.
For the last few months she had been
somewhat i'll, and when attacked with
pneumonia fell an easy victim to the dread
disease, being i'll but four days. Mrs. Rob
inson was born and reared in this village,
the daughter of the late Gilbert Ellis. She
married J. Barney Robinson, who died in
few years, leaving one son, Homer.
Mrs. Robinson had many friends, and the
news of her death cast gloom over the
whole community. She leaves one child,
a son of 10 years, who is sadly bereft; one
brother in Boston, Jack P. Ellis, and a
brother in New York, Harley, and many
friends of less kinship. The remains
were carried to T. w. Drew's, where a
funeral was held on Friday, Rev. FL. w.
Worthen officiating. Mr.. Harley Ellis,
who was present, desires that the heart
felt thanks of the relatives of the deceas-
ed be extended to Mr.. Drew's people,
and all who so kindly assisted in the bur-
ial services.

Dir. Editor: 1t may not be worth while
to again refer to the incorrect and some
what sarcastic statements of the CORE
| spondent of the Express in regard to the
liberalitY of the people in this locality in
paying for the preaching of the gospel
but some of US feel that the truth was not
told. 1t was stated in one of the items
that only the sum of $50 was paid by this
people yearly. By documents at hand
see that the net proceeds Of five donations
was S345 95, or $69.l9 on the average
When preachers have come here they have
usually received other contributions thar
than those paid at the donations. 1 be
lieve it to be the duty of all persons tC
uphold by their means and their mora
support all things intended for good, anC
that it is extremely out of place for any
who fail in these directions to deprecatt
the honest efforts of others more liberia
than themselves. Our donations have
been held in private houses, and those
who have opened their doors have done
the most possible to make the occasion
agreeable to all who came and profitable
to the preacher. Let's not cry down oul
own people. JUSTICE.
