NOTICE.

At meeting of the Republican
Executive Committee of Lawrence
Co., held at Courtland on the End,
day ofJuly 1892, the following reso'
luton was unanimously agreed upon.
Whereas the Republican Party
has no State ticket in the field, and
there being two Democratic tickets in
Alabama, one headed by the Hon.
Thomas g. Jones, the other headed
by the Hon. r. F. Kolb, and after
calmly reviewing the political situa-
zion, we the Republican Executive
Committee respectfully advise the
Republicans of Lawrence Co., to
support the Kolb wing of the Dem !.
Ocratic party for the following rea-
SONS, viz: That the Republican party
of Lawrence Co., is mainly composed
Of agricultural laborers and small
farmers, and the Hon. r. F. Kolb is
known to be practical farmer, and
on that account we think our inter
est would be best promoted by his
election.
In supporting the Kolb ticket we
are no less Republicans. We make
no demand on Mr.. Kolb. Neither
do we expect him to surrender any
of his political opinions as Demo.
crat and Alliance Candidate.

CONSIGNED TO THE TOMB.
The Body Of Jay Gould Carried to its Final
Resting Place.

New YORK, Dec. 6.-From early
morning the sidewalk opposite the
Gould mansion was lined with men
and women impelled to gather there
more through curiosity than anything
else. 1t was the day of the financial
kings burial and they could at least
catch a glimpse of the casket as it
was carried out. Announcement was
made yesterday that the long drive to
the tomb would be begun at $50
o'clock, which led the mourners to as
semble early. The company which
attended the interment included only
members of his family and score of
his intimate friends. Drs. Paxton
and McCracken entered the first car
riage which moved to the front of the
house, in the second and third were
the dead mans family and the follow
ing carriages were occupied by friends
of the family AS the carriages moved
away the crowds dispersed and a few
minutes later the street resumed its
accustomed appearance.

WILLIAMS BRIDGE, N. Y, Dec. 8
AS early as 8 o'clock few stragglers
entered Woodlawn cemetery and
made their way towards the Gould
mausoleum, The crowd, which never
assumed large proportions, was made
up mostly of women. At 1910 O'Clock
the solemn toll of the bell at the chapel
was heard and the hearse followed by
line of carriages entered the GENE.
tely. Ten minutes later the hearse
stopped in front of the pathway that
led to the tomb. Four men lifted the
coffin out and placed it in box. Out
of the first carriage stepped George
Gould and on his arm rested Miss
HELEN Gould. They were followed
by Edwin Gould and his
young wife, Frank Gould
escorting Miss Annie Gould,
Howard Gould with Mrs. Edith
Kington Gould, A braham Gould,
Mrs. Taylor. Mrs. Northrup and the
two Misses Northrup, Chancellor Nc

service concluded with simple invo-
cation for divine strength for the af-
flicted house. The simple service

then after the oaken cover had been
securely fastened the remains were
carried into the mausoleum by four of

BEDDING.
THEY DON'T LIKE IT.

Great indignation prevails over the new arrangement of trains on the Dan bury division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, The train which connected with the o'clock ex- press, out of New York reaching West Bedding at l0.l0, has been taken off and an express goes rushing by at 10 4S, throwing Off our mail bag and picking up the outgoing one by patentcatcher. This change unless remedied, will be most disasteroussto Bedding. Now the stage from the Ridge to the station will be dependant upon the mail down tor support and at the low sum paid DO one can afford to run, even if the mail was carried on horseback. The fares for passengers amounted to quite a large sum, especially in the summer time, when the town was full of boarders. The train taken off has been in existence ever since the Danbury and Norwalk railroad was built and come to be looked upon as a permanent thing. Isolated as Bedding was before from the outside world we seem 10 times more so now. Of course it will affect the exodus of sum- mer boarders who of late have been com ing in increasing numbers, the means of getting here being greatly curtailed. On Tuesday the catcher failed to catch our mail bag and it fell on the track and came near going under the train,. mis- hap which is likely to occur very often. A petition will be sent in to the railroad officials to restore our train, or give us something which will meet our necessi- ties

VAIL FROM HAwLEYvILLE.

The recent railroad changes has deep ened the desponiency, as it has been feared Bethel is to be made the terminus of the Shepaug and the early removal of the repair shops there. This will neces- sitate the removal of the families of two engineers and those employed in the shops. The through business cannot go around this place, but the changes since the Consolidated obtained the control has made 1t already different place, entire ly checking all growth in any depart- ment, except A. G. Bakers furniture bus mess (which is just booming). Perhaps he could boom some life into OJh-r lines should he set about It. Set his tear bot ties where everyone could leave sym pathetic drop. The appeal might encour- age the residents.-IQ.

A RED LETTER DAY AT THE ACADEMY.

Tuesday was red letter day in the history of Newtown Academy and one long to be remembered by the teachers and pupils of the institution. As men tiuued elsewhere, it was on that day that the school took p ,ss"ssion of the Acad- emy building on it's new site with prob- ably the largest number of scholars the school has ever had. The members of the academic department gave vent to their feelings of ecstasy on assembling by giving three rousing cheers for the Academy and Principal Cliff. Of the JOS pupils enrolled there were lO7 present on the day of opening the building. There have been several changes and improve ments made in the interior of the build ing to accommodate all the departments of which mention will be made in later issue. The number of scholars in each of lhe rooms is as follows: Academic de- partment, 36; Miss Beers department and class room, 1T; Mrs Rodgers de- partment, 2S.

BETHEL.
DEATH OF CHARLES JUDD.

"When good man dies the people mourn" In Bethel, Elmwood, on the morning of December 7, passed on to q glorious immortality, Charles Judd, aged 5 years. MT Judd was the youngest son of Hiram and Maria Judd and always re- sided at the homestead, never having married. Having but brief acquaint- ance with the departed, yet the writer can testify to the many sterling qualities of mind and heart which he possessed. Always just and generous in his dealings, Il brave and loyal friend, a fond and de- voted brother, it could well be said, "None knew him but to love, none named him but to praise.'' We shall miss him sorely and our heartfelt sympathies go forth to the bereaved friends and may our Heavenly Father comfort the below ed sisters who are left to mourn their loss, yet not as those without hope, for as he said himself only short time be- fore he fell asleep, sHis work was finish ed, and so God called him from labor to retreshment to receive the right hand of fellowship from the Grand Master on high. The welcome, .Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of the Lord, s.To the mansion pre- pared for you not made with hands, eter- nal in the Heavens" God grant we may find as abundant an entrance into the Heavenly kingdom.
