Rev. Herbert NJ. Tenney occupied
the desk in the CoDg'l church Sunday
evening, presenting a very interesting
and inspiring sermon, full of deep
thought and practical suggestion.
The text was taken from John Is
sc, and Rev. IL Is. The speakers
theme was "The Kingdom of Christ
for this world, butnot of this world" )"
and in the treatment of the subject in
all it's phases Mr.. Tenney found am
pie opportunity to touch with Christ
ian patriotism upon the serious ques-
tions of might against right in the
world, as well as the clashing between
labor and capital, all going to mani
fest that we are nearing the end of
this system; that Gods Kingdom is
to be set up and His power and love,
as well as the law ofJlove among fel-
low-men, shallcome to rule all things
DEATH OF "MAJ." WATERMAN.
Word was received here Saturday
night of the death of s. R. Water
man, long and familiarity known as
Major" al the Soldiers Home of
spinal sclerosis. Samuel X. Waterman
was a son of the late V. W. Water
man Of Cady's Falls, and half
brother of Geo. L. Waterman, (de-
ceased) of Hyde Park, and Mrs. IL.
, H. Powers of this place. He was a
. member of Co. M, 26th n. Y. Cavalry
and was stationed at st. Albans dur
: ing the raid. He was taken to the
Soldiers Home hospital last Deem
Der, hoping the care there would help
him. He soon became worse and was
a great sufferer for many weeks. His
wife was with him nearly the whole
, time since he went to the Home. For
eight or tel years he was a postal
clerk on the route from Portland to
, SrnntOn and was one of the most ef-
ficient clerks in the service, always
, rating high in examinations. III
health compelled his retiring from
,, the service about two years ago.
, "Major" was 46 years old, and was
, twice married. His first wife was a
Miss Doty of EImore, who died sew
eral years ago, and the present one
D., an estimabe lady from Maine. The
remains were brought to Morristown
and were inferred with military hon.
: ors by j. M. Warner Post, g. A. r..
of which he was a member, at Cady's
Falls, on Tuesday at 10 a. m. Rev
! DR.. Booth officiated. The floral Of
: ferings were numerous and very fine
Many members of Mt. Vernon Lodge
: of Masons and a number of former
t railroad associates, were also present
!. to pay the last tribute of respect
e to their deceased brother.
: ANOTHER POLITICAL PROBLEM.
: Who's going to Montpelier? (and
e by Montpelier is meant the Genera
Assembly, is the question repeatedly
| asked, but not yet answered. Like
I the mountain rule" in State politics
, we have an equally absurd custom O.
' taking man from one locality one
8 year and from another the next yeaI
f in an n,clad sort of fashion, nc
v matter about the fitness of the selec
3 tion or the necessities of the case
Following the aforementioned way
of conducting the choice of towr
:, representative, the man is to be g
! farmer, and happily we do not look
y far before finding some pretty gooC
q stock to select from. The question
y then is, who is the best man if, in the
~ fitting of the scale of qualification
7 there may be any variation? The
n three most prominently mentioned
= names are those of l.. S. Small, j. M
= Campbell and c. F. Smith, represent
: ative farmers and firstrate good citi
/. zens all. How, then, is the selection
; to be made? Mr.. Small, a quiet, re-
!, served, thinking man, is undoubtedly
/ we'll posted and has had experience il
h general town offices. Mr.. Campbell
:, in his open, blunt way, has taken al
/ active interest in town affairs fol
e some time. He most generally has
:, something to say in connection with
d any question under consideration
e and in his original manner of treat
ing the matter in hand, is usually

the school law, and would in turn bt
