Departure and what it suggests Mrs.
Inez Todd, daughter of B. E. Brownell,
left town this week for Chicago the home
of her husband. She is the youngest of
the family and was also last to take a
husband. There are some remarkable
things in connection with B. f. Brownell
and his family. Until the year 1884,
when the mother died, death had never
broken its links. All of the children are
now living. One daughter lives at St.
Adams, one at North Adams, Mass, and
two il Chicago, while one has never left
Pownal since she was married. There
has been very little sickness to interfere
with the general current of family life.
B. E. Brownell keeps his house open as
usual and lives where he has lived for
almost forty years, his sister, Mrs. An
drew NJ. Carpenter, being its acting ma
iron He superintends his farm of 200
acres with all of his accustomed business
vigor although now in his eightieth year.
He walked from Bennington one day this
summer, in order to save time, and in
the evening MIXED his share of the cows,
nd made little complaint of being tired.
His eye sight fails him more than any Of
his other faculties. Could he read now
as we'll as once his happiness and useful
ness would need have no abatement.

Mason had been doing. 1t seems that
this Benedict" had been playing the

this affray, and he had from time to time

the battle shifted at last between these

ing shot by his wife was just as natural
as the rest, and whispering: kiss me,
Mollie!" he managed to raise one arm
and drop it over her shoulder. She
stopped and kissed him, moaning the
while. AS she drew her lingering lips
away, that ashen pallor known so well to
all who have watched by the bedsides of
the dying stole over his face, and his
hand slid heavily from her neck. The
passengers, who stood around, deeply
moved, raised Mollie to her feet, as one
of them drew covering over the white,
placid face. As she looked up, the gath
ering night dropped its dark folds over
the little valley and over his life. Her
search was at an end. She had found
her husband. George Frederic Parsons.
WHAT YOUR GREAT GRANDMOTHER
DID.
She hetcheled the fax and carded the
wool, and wove the linen, and spun the
tow, and made the clothes for her hus-
band and ten children. She made butter
and cheese, she dipped tallow candles,
to light the house at night, and she
cooked all the food for her household by
an open fireplace and brick oven.
Yes; and when she was forty years of
age she was already an old lady whose
best days were over. Her shoulders
were bent and joints enlarged by hard
work, and she wore spectacles and cap.
Her great granddaughter, with all the
modern conveniences for comfort, refine
ment and luxury, may be as charming
and attracting at forty-five as at twenty.
Especially is this true if she preserves
her health and beauty by the use of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which
wards off all female ailments and If
Irregularities, cures them if they already
exist, keeps the life current healthful
and vigorous, and enables the woman of
middle age to retain the freshness of
girlhood upon brow and cheek, the light
of youth in her eye, and its elasticity in
her step. Sold by all druggists.

In an article entitled advertising
a key to success" the Atlanta Con,
stitution says truly that "people dc
not hunt up an unknown man, in any
unknown place, to buy an unknown
thing. If a man has an article OF
genuine worth that is generally
needed, he will go ahead with abso,
Lutte confidence and advertise it. All
that he has to do is TO make the
vertlsement attractive and place it
where people within his radius Of
trade will see it, Under these cons
dltions, If adv ertising fails to insure
success the times must be exception,
ally hard, and the depression must be
too great to overcome the ordinary
methods"
Every judlclous advertiser can
testify that this is true. Nowadays
the people look to the columns of
the newspapers for not only opinions
but for news, and news Of character
mentioned by Que contemporary is
always valuable because it conveys
information important to all who
buy or sell,

There is one thing that may be
regarded as CERTAIN by all Democrats
IN connection with Mr.. Cleyeland's s
candidacy. He will never be party
to any trade or bargain in order to
secure the Democratic nomination.
Nor will he change his opinions to
court favor with any party or the
faction of any party.-Arkansas
Democrat.
1t is very evident to all observing
people that the great mass Of the
people of the South and West
are opposed to Cleveland. The
Alliance is opposed to him because
his views on coinage of silver are
shaped to suit Wall street, and
against the interests Of the West.
They have no preference for any
man, but they declare that whatever
his name is he must be in the line
with thier demands he must be in
favor of reforming the tariff by res
ducing it on the neeessarles Of life.
and he must be in favor of absolute
free coinage of silver. With such
u candidate as the standard bearer
of the Democratic party in 1892, we
will sweep the West as surely as day
follows night. While with Cleveland
as candidate 1t Is very probable,
the result would be repltitlon OF
1888, In the language of the day
give us a rest on Cleveland. He is a
good ex-president, but he is entirely
too fat to make an active aggressive
fight next year, with the wild and
energetic woody West against him. :
