@. @. Parsons was seen in Boston
recently by a Barton man. The thous-
and absurd stories that have been in
circulation since Mrs. Parsons death
show what excited inaginations and
gossip will do in times when the truth
can not be got at. Mr.. Parsons and
his daughter Mabel are in Roxbury,
Mass. They will come here, or send
somebody soon, to look after their
furniture and household goods.
In giving an account Of the sickness
and death OF Mrs. VIM. White, it was
stated that Mrs. White refused to be
moved from her home on account Of
threats on the part of White that he
would kill her if she moved away.
Mr.. White claims that SO much Of the
statement was incorrect, but that she
might have stated that it would kill
her if she was moved away from her
home and husband. Mr.. White is en-
titled to any doubt there may be in
regard to the statement.

these things, but do not like to have
our generosity abused. When people
feel that it is worth while to have no
tees printed, let them pay the poor
printer something for doing it.

stances, who are to be benefited most,
would bring the scheme to a success

lie spirit manifested is very creditable
to the citizens Of this place There
must always be a few in the army who
ride in the ambulances and thereby
keep in sight of the army column,
though they will not march in it.
