DEATH OF PEPoON JACOBS.

Mir Pepoon Jacobs died at his home in this village last Thursday morning at 2.2O o'clock, in the 90th year of his age. He was not afflicted with any acute or chronic disease, but he has been gradually failing for year or more and for the last four weeks he was confined to his bed. He had always been a remarkably industrious person, and he was completely worn out with his unceasing toll and his weight of years.
 Pepoon Jacobs was son of the late Samuel Jacobs and Mary Fitch Jacobs. He was born Feb. 16. 1904, on the Jacob Galusha place, so called near Twin Lakes in the town of Salisbury. Only the ruins of the house now remain, and the proper ty is better known to the present genera tion as the Bement place near Foley 8 Summit. The subject of this sketch always followed the occupation of a farmer. At sixteen years of age he be gan working for his neighbor, the late Col John Russell. At nineteen years of age he commenced working for the late Miss Fatima Russell and for oyer forty years he managed her farm, or until her death in 1865. Then for two years he worked for the late Geo W. Peet on the latter's farm near Amesville. After ards he resided two years on the Lee Garfield place in Amesville. In 1869 he came to Canaan and with his broth CTS and sisters purchased the farm on which they have since resided. Since the family came to Canaan five of their number have died, viz: Samuel Jacobs, Fitch Jacobs, Mrs Jane Dederick, Miss Caroline Jacobs, Pepoon Jacobs Their funerals have all been attended from the same house., Of the once happy circle of five sisters and four brothers now only two remain. viz: Mrs Martin Belden and MT Hymen Jacobs. They keenly their bereavement; and the death of their kind and good brother Pepoon is almost overwhelming although his demise was anticipated. They know that they have the sympathy of the en- tire community, and that lightens their burden as much as human sympathy can.
 The funeral of MT Jacobs was at tended at his late residence on Sunday  at 2 p. m. Rev F. W. Barnett officia- ted. The very large attendance of neighbors and townspeople was an evi- dence of the esteem in which the de- parted was held in this community. Mir Barnett seldom makes any remarks at funerals. but the long and virtuous life of the departed warranted Mir Bar nett in paying @ fitting tribute to his memory. The interment was at the cemetery in Weatogue in the town oi Salisbury.

RATES TO CHICAGO.

It appears that the NEWS was misin- formed in regard to the regular fare from Canaan to Chicago via P. R. & N. E. and Balto. & Ohio roads, and that the figures named in the NEWS of May 4th were incorrect although they were obtained from the local ticket agent at Canaan and they agreed to the best ot his knowledge and belief with his latest schedule or instructions.
 Division Passenger Agent Kesser oi the P. R. & N. B. road writes the NEWS that the price of first class ticket from Canaan to Chicago via P. R. & N. E. and the Balto. & Ohia roads is $17. 5( instead of $17.0O The price of sec ond class ticket is $16 50 instead oi $1480 and that second class tickets de not entitle a passenger to sleeping cal privileges.
 MT Kesser also writes in regard tf the forthcoming time table which the NEWS briefly outlined and stated would go into effect May 7th. MT Kessel writes Expectations as to said time table are not yet realized. It is no yet determined whether or not tho | schedule I have recommended will b, adopted"

Wherever there is lot of wear and tear on paint. it is absolutely necessary to have the best. Poor paint lasts no time-it is not made to last, nor are its constituents calculated to render it dura- ble. All the elements of poor paint are cheap. Cheapness does not mean econo- my, but rather the reverse. That which is best made from the best materials lasts the longest, and therefore is the most economical, even if 1t costs trifie more at the start. This is the case with the Chiffon Paints, whose name is a synonym for satisfaction. Every one of their com- ponent parts is the best that the market affords, and no cheap substitutes are used in their manufacture. For instance, ill., smelling benzine is not used as drier, instead of turpentine. Pure linseed oil gives a good solid body to the Chiffon Paints. They are carefully ground seven times, and such is their capacity that they will cover far more surface than any other paints manufactured. Whatever paint you use, however, give it fair chance, and see that it is never applied to a wet or even damp surface. If you disregard this advice you will regret it.

Thompson, in chang ing the road near his place, decided that an elm tree would have to be moved and spoke to one of our merchants up- on the subject. who immediately vol | unteered to move the tree in very short space of time and with a minute amount of trouble. Accordingly the merchant procured rope and fastened it to the tree at quite an elevation and with the help of one of the Rev's color. ed domesties attempted to pull the tree over and uproot it. After many "altogethers" and "now-you're-off" il was apparent that more power was need
