from the name of the old English function
airy.
Dawber is descendant of him who
chinked or daubed the cottage walls with
wet clay.
Porter was once more highly esteemed
occupation than at present, which accounts
for the numerous families of the name.

formerly worn in England.

information that "wires are now being

Who? When? Where? Come let us have

know the worst at once in order that we

There were so many families in Maine
that gave freely of their best to the cause of
the Union that some exceptional instance of
sacrifice and bravery seems required to ex-
cite comment. Such an instance was af-
forded by the Greer family of Belmont,
Waldo county. Of nine brothers, six
served with honor in the Union army. One
was killed in battle, one died of wounds at
the front, and one died in the hospital from
disease contracted in the service.

the neighbor is responsible for that dream
which rather illustrates the direful effects
of poor cooking than psychological pheno-
mena. In this dream the lady thought
she had started to decend the cellar stairs
when q great snake came gliding up. 1t
reared its head close to her and stood there
swayipg back and forth and suddenly the
head began to change and assume the form
of human head, and finally the face of
one of her neighbors was grinning at her
on the serpents body. She awoke with a
scream. The neiahbor was one whom she
knew but slightly but was not
fAvorably impressed. The next MORN
log her cook told her that she must
leave her MS the neighbor of the dream
had come to the house during her absence

Agent for the Siphon Water
Elevator, which is automatic, for
irrigation. city supply, farms, etc.
This invention as it's name indicates
is based upon the principle of the
siphon known to the Ancients but
it is devised in such a manner as to
greatly enlarge the field Of applica-
ton. Used until today only for the
drawing off of liquids to lower level,
the siphon now becomes an
Automatic Water Elevator, which
under favorable conditions IS en-
dowed with great powers. In many
instances, land situated higher than
the irrigation ditch can be irrigated
at a nominal expense. The Siphon
Elevator is especially adapted for
such conditions, as it can elevate the
water from the main irrigation ditch
to a higher one, while the waste is
available for irrigating the lower
levels. The siphon elevators are
made of brass and iron in sizes
ranging in capacity of from two
hundred to three million gallons per
day.
H Estimates and plans furnish
ed for new machinery and repairs.

ments. After the war, Mr.. Jones entered
the employ of the Boston and Albany rail-
road, but in 1867 went TO Rockford and
became bookkeeper and cashier in large
general store. Later he became a banker
and has long been known as one of the
most expert accountants in the west. For
IS years he was assistant cashier Of the
Second National bank of Rockford and for
several years was associated with Colonel
LAWYER in the coal business, serving as
secretary Of the Northwestern Coal Deal
ers' association.
For two years he was state examiner OF
banks for the northern district of Illinois
by appointment of Governor Fifer, for
many years he has been director or man
ager of various local institutions, and
when the panic of 1898 came on he was one
of the first to move in the organization OF
the local bankers into a general RELIEF
band By this agency Rockford was en-
abled to escape the worst effects, and many
sound local manufactures were enabled
to tide over the temporary pressure and
soon acquire sound footing again. In
politics Adtutant Jones is a Republican,
but his fellow townsmen never think OF
him as a partisan. They know him as a
splendid business man and sociable citizen
only.
