general assembly. Lawson E. Han
rington is so we'll known to the PEG
pie OF this town that it is useless 70
US to dwell upon his character AM

tltted to represent the town at Mont
peller, not soul doubts and no on,
can say aughtagainst him as a man
For many years he has been in trade
at North Hyde Park, where he has
always identified himself with the in
terests of that village. He has not
turned a deaf ear to his town wher
called upon to serve in public ca
pacity. AS Selectman and in Other
positions he has served well anC
faithfully. While there are many
men in the party, as we stated last
week, who are competent to "fill the
bill, " we doubt if one could have been
more unanimously selected than Mr.
Harrington. Now let the Republic
cans and all others who wish to see
the town well and ably represented
rally to his support. See that your
indifferent neighbor goes to the polls
and use all honorable means to Sc
cure the election of L. E. Harrington,
who if sent to Montpelier will vote
for a good Union soldier for United
States Senator, and not obey the
dictation of Hiram Atkins. The pro-
cecdings of the caucus we're: W. G..
Bassett, chairman; L. H. Lewis, sec

lot was taken showing 81 votes cast,
of which l.. E. Harrington had so;
L.. Z. Butts, 6; scattering, 6. On
motion of Col. Sawyer the nomina-
ton was made unanimous. Mr.. Har-
rington accepted the nomination.

DEATH OF CARROLL Fl. LILLEY.
The community was startled last
Wednesday afternoon to learn of
the death of Carroll III. L:lley, old
est son of Henry and Annette Lilley,
one of the exemplary young men of
this place. While he had been in
poor health a long time and it was
that ere long he must sue
cumb to that dread disease-cOn-
but few were aware that
the end was so near. Confined to
the house most of the time for many
weeks, he however was able to ride
out frequently; in fact, he took a
short ride the Sunday before his
death. He was able to sit up part
of Monday. On Tuesday he did not
leave his bed, but rested quite well
that night. The next day, Wednes-
day, found him in weak condition,
and it was then evident that he could
last but a short time. He passed
away that afternoon, after bidding
his family an affectionate good-by.
Carroll Lilley was native of this
town, and lived in this village all his
life, with the exception of a few years
spent in the west. He was a young
man whom everybody respected and
held in high esteem. He early mani
tested a liking for business, and when
scarcely in his teens opened a gro
Gerry store in his home, which he con-
Quoted successfully for a number of
years. For short time after, he
engaged in selling wagons and har-
nesses. He then went west to Kan
sas, where he engaged in the livery
business; but at the solicitation of
his parents he returned home and
went into business with his father,
taking the entire supervision of the
of the business. Here
in this, as in all his other business
ventures, he proved himself efficient
and competent, and under his man.
agement built up a large and lucra-
tive industry. His business took
him into various parts of this and
neighboring states; but wherever he
went he made friends, and we believe
but few young men of his age, 20
years, had a wider circle of friends
than he. The past year, disease pro-
hibited his giving close attention to
business. Last summer he spent
several months in Maine and the
winter he passed in the south, re-
turning home last May. During all
this time he fought the disease
bravely and manfully, but never
murmured--always cheerful and
yet we believe satisfied |
that he must sooner or later yield to |
the inevitable. The funeral was held |
from his late home Friday afternoon,
and was under the direction of the |
Odd Fellows, of which he was a MEM
Der. He was a charter member of
Sterling Lodge, of this place, and |
took a deep interest in it's organiza-
ton, and as long as health would
permit delighted in being present at
the meetings of the order. The mem
bers of the lodge met at their hall
and marched in body to the house.
There the ritual services were read
Oy the Noble Grand and the Chap
ain with responses by the brothers.
These exercises were followed with
singing by the choir and remarks
and prayer by the Rev. f. c. Taylor.
The lodge preceded the hearse to the
grave, where the impressive and
beautiful burial service of the order
vas read. The grave was lined with
erns and flowers, and on the mound
we're the three links-the emblem of
5he order. The floral tributes from
relatives and friends were many and
very fine. There was large attend
ance at the funeral and many were
jhe expressions of sorrow and grief
hat life so full of promise had been
,ut off. The afflicted relatives, es-
the parents, who had
eaned heavily upon him, and whom
ne took pleasure in serving, have
