The Montpelier District Epworth League
met in Cabot, July 2S and 20, 1891. Cabot
being in the extreme northern part of the
district, it was expected the attendance
would be small. In this there was happy
disappointment, for there were quite large
delegations from thirteen societies; and
number of visitors from the adjoining dis
trict were also present. The convention
was opened Tuesday at ?. NJ, with devo-
tional exercises, conducted by George An
derson. Mr.. Barney of Barre was chosen
chairman, and II. H. Bailey of West Ran
dolph, secretary. Papers were read on the
following subjects; Give, and it shall be
given YOU" Mrs. j. p. Ellis; christian
Athletics" Edward Gale. Presiding Elder
A. b. TruaX gave an address From the
Presiding Elders Standpoint" He spoke
enthusiastically of the work of the League,
and gave the Leaguers some sound advice.
The "Question Box " was ably conducted
by Mrs j. o. Sherburn. The reports from
the chapters showed that good work was
being done. In the evening, after a praise
service, led by Walter Lance, Rev h. L.
Bruce in a "lecture-poem " took the Con-
vention on Trip to Epworth and Be-
yond." Wednesday morning, at $50 o'clock,
a surprisingly large audience assembled for
an Early Morning Address by Rev. f.
w. Hambin. After love-feast at $50, the
following papers We're presented: THE
Spirit of True Service" Miss Josie Laird !;
"The Essential Qualifications of the Eli
cient Young Methodist" r. j. Goss; " The
Relation Of the Epworth League to the
Glass meeting" Rev w. n. Roberts; Bles-
sedness Rather than Happiness" Miss
Edith Barnes. Among the resolutions
adopted was one seconding the motion,
made by another convention, to have Ma
tional Epworth League Convention at Chi
cago in 1892. After earnest remarks by the
district president, Rev. W. S. Smithers, the
delegates gathered in circle around the
pastors for a service of prayer and consecra-
ton. The inspiration of this meeting will
long remain with those who attended, and
be impaired by them to others.

A CoLD.-It was only a common cold.
John had had many worse cold and got
over it. This would wear off as the others
had done; so it was neglected and neglected
until steady pain came in the chest and
a slight but not very distressing cough be-
came constant. But John didn't mind the
pain-he ignored it, and went on with his
work as though pain meant nothing. After
time he began to grow thin and weak,
and an attack Of dysentery compelled him
to call in physician. The physician dis
covered his condition, and by this time in
filtration was well advanced in the right
lung. Now the fight for life became serious
and it all came from a common cold that,
taken at first, could have been easily cured
The physician, being an experienced prac-
titioner, recommended Downs Elixir, and
John used it faithfully and pulled through;
but how much better it would have been
had John bought bottle of the Elixir at
once, and take dose on going to bed and
walked up the next morning clear as
whistle. In view of the fact that
the season of colds and coughs is now at
hand, we call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement Of Downs Elixir,
which will be found in another column.

A motion was made by States Attor-
ney Bliss to call the bonds in the case of
State VS.. Frances NJ. Newell, who was
indicted in June. 1889, for the larceny of
a purse containing $40 from the store in
Shoreham. Mr.. Ballard opposed the mo-
ton and made Il statement of the case,
which induced the court to grant con
tinuance. This winds up the criminal
work of the term, with the exception of
the case now on trial.
At 10 o'clock arguments were begun
on questions of evidence brought up in
the Noonan and Garrapy case before the
adjournment Wednesday evening. The
case then went along, but the progress
was rather slow owing to the constant
objections to the counsel for the defense
to the admission of evidence offered by
the state. 1t Is pretty certain that the
case will occupy the court the remainder
of the week, and it is likely to be the last
jury trial this term, as there is only one
civil case set for the jury, and that will
in all probability be compromised.
There will be no session of court mex
week, as Judge Start will have to sit or

preme court. The remaining business o.
the term will be completed the week fol
lowing.

OBITUARY..
JOHN POWERS.

In the death of Mr.. Powers. which oc-
Cured on Friday last, our town loses one
who has spent the most of a long life
among our citizens, and among them all
should be surprised if one could be
found who would not pronounce him an
honest, upright business man. He was
a great and retentve reader, and kept
well posted in national and state affairs,
which enabled him to arrive at correct
conclusions in matters of everyday life.
After his days business was at an end,
his first thought was of his pleasant home
and family. He was a kind husband
a loving and indulgent parent. Mr.. Pow
ers was one of family of seven children.
His mother died when he was seven years
old, and two years later he lost his
father. The family then resided in Sher-
rington, Canada, Thrown upon the
world at nine years of age, he sought
employment in Canada, but at the age of
eleven years he came to Middlebury and
sought employment and worked for the
late Sidney Mead on his farm in the east
part of the town. After few months
he sought and obtained situation in the
shoe-shop of Harvey Wilcox to learn the
trade, and by his faithfulness and homes
ty remained with him until he became a
young man. Finally, wanting to see
more of this vast country, he event
Vest and worked in Michigan.and Chi
cago for about two years. He then re-
turned to Middlebury. On his return he
again resumed his work at Mr.. Wilcox 5
shop, and continued till Mr.. Wilcox :
death. He then started business for
himself, and through the war did IA large
and prosperous business. On Jan. |. Is
81, Mr.. Powers was married 10 Miss
Katharine Tinney,. and three children
were born TO them, all now living

and doing IA prosperous business there
Mary NJ. and William j. make it their
home in Middlebury. Two sisters sur.
vive Mr.. Powers out of that large family.
With the exception of Mr.. Powers twC
years West, he has been a citizen of Mid
dlebury for 80 years. He was 81 years OF
age in October last. c.
