Never have the people of this vicinity
been so suddenly and universally shocked
as they were last Tuesday morning, at
the sudden death of our townsman, L.
c. Robinson. His relations, business and
social, to every portion OF our community
were so numerous and varied that the
startling news agitated every heart as it
suddenly passed from one to another.
About half-past ten in the morning he
was walking about the streets of our
village, here and there directing about
his various interests, when feeling little
indisposed he walked short distance to
his residence, and in about ten minut es
from the time he started he was dead in
his house. He was conscious when the
doctor, who was hastily summoned, ar
rived, and with characteristic GOODNESS
and judgment remarked that he should
not survive the attack. The gloom cast
upon the community is deepcued by the
fact that nearly all of his numerous rcla-
lives, at the time of his death, were in
different parts of the country pursuing
their avocatons and Journeys with no
apprehension of this or any other like
affection. So intimate were his relations
in one way and another with the whole
community that it feels The affection like
as it would il it was one family and had
lost one of it's principal members. Of
course in saying this we are not unmind-
full Of the fact that there is little tender
group in the midst of it all who feel this
sudden bereavement deeper than it is
possible for all to know or experience;
but business stopped, and business men
stood mute, as though nature itself had
been suspended. The whole workings of
the business relations of our little COM
munity were paralyzed and disarranged,
and all hearts were turned in sympathy,
and in all the consolation which human
impulses can afford toward the little
family who were so suddenly and pecu-
liarly afflicted. A more extended notice
of this sad event and of our late esteemed
citizen will be given when time, oppor-
tunity and calmer reflection shall permit.
Funeral services at the house Friday
morning at 8 o. o'clock, after which the re-
mains will be taken to Derby Centre for
intermcnt, the services at the grave &C.
curing at 2 p. M.

Peddlers have come to be a nuisance
here. and our merchants are injured by
their operations. They come as regularly
as the pay car comes. VI course 1t
might be said that people need not buy
of these irresponsible fellows who pay
ing no taxes, get what they can from a
town and then move on; but the proper
way to remedy this growing evil is Tor
the village to impose license on all ped
dlers and in this way make them con-
tribute to the support of the privileges
they now enjoy free of cost

Republican County Convention.

Republican County Convention.
We have neither time nor
space to do more than give the
general result of the Republican
County Convention, which con-
vened at Guildhall last Tuesday
the Goth inst. The convention
was organized by the choice of
]. Henry Beattie of Brunswick
as chairman, and w. Fl. Bishop
of Island Pond as secretary.
Every town in the county had
its full delegation present, and
there were a considerable umber
ofinterested spectators in attend
ancc. Several ballots were necess-
AIRY for some of the principal Off
ces, but for Judge of Probate, the
present incumbent, Hon. D. S.
Storrs of Island Pond, was I'M
animously renominated. Ap-
pended is the result of the bal
loting:
Scnator-Porter II. Dale of Island Pond
Assistant Judges-First, Fred A. Turner
of Luncnburg; Second, Henry Lee OF
Guildhal.
Judge OF Probate u. S. Storrs of Island
Pond.
States Attorney-F. a. Brewer of West
Concord.
Sheriff-O D. Coblc,gh of West Concord.
High Bailiff-F. a. Roby of Bloomfield.
County Commissioncr-Cha W.
Matthews of Cranky.
County Commttee-E. NJ Bartlett OF
Island Pond, +. A. Brewer of West
Concord, J. II. Beattie of Brunswick,
Carlos Green of Canaan, +. {. Currier
OF LunenburG.
These resolutions were adopted:
RESOLVED, by the delegates, represent
ing the Republicans OF Essex County, in
convention assembled, that in the Hon.
George n Dale of Island Pond we feel
that we have one of the foremost men in
the State; man of great ability, ster-
ling integrity, an unimpeachable charac-
ter, and republicanism as enduring as
our granite hills; and we regret that it
has seemed best to him to check in its
spontaneous growth the sentiment that
he must represent us in the next Senate
of the State.
RESOLVED, That this convention adopt
the resolutions passed by the last Repub-
lican State Convention.
RESOLVED. That we congratulate our
citizens, Col. Z. NJ. Mansur on his nomi.
nation as Lieutenant Governor, and
! Hon. Franklin D. Hale in his renomina
ton by reclamation for State Auditor.
RESOLVED, That we hereby pledge our
hearty support to the nominees of the
State, District and County conventions.
Before adjourning a discussion
arose as to the desirability OF
calling the next convention as a
mass convention. The discus,
sion was participated in by sew
eral, delegates and spectators,
but the convention instructed
the County Committee to call
the next convention as a dele
gate convention, the apportion-
ment of delegates TO be based on
the same representation as that
governing the convention OF
1894, Ringing speeches were
made by H. w. Lund, Esq, OF
Canaan, and Hon. F. d. Hale OF
Lunenburg, after which the con-
vention adjourned. We'will give
the town committees in a future
issue, Before closing this report
the HERALD would ask that ev-
cry voter take a personal interest
i'll the campaign so auspiciously
opened and labor for the success
of those ideas that will best adj
vance the best interests of our
common veal, and the influence
will, we feel certain, be seen in
an increased republican vote.
