Gardiner, Maine, notes the death of
Mr.. William Howard Farwell Tower,
on the morning of Tuesday, July 10.
The deceased superintended the con-
struction of the pulp and paper mill
in this city. He was about sixty-two
years of age. More or less of an
invalid of two years past, for the
last six months he suffered from heart
trouble, which followed la grippe,
which he had in a severe form some
two years ago. The Reporter Journal
says: "Mr. Tower was a man of
keen attentive mind, and an alert
brain, which was always engaged in
ideas and schemes for the advance
ment of the paper business. Mr..
Tower came from 4 long line of paper
makers. He was one of the pioneers
in the manufacture of chemical pulp
in this country, and he erected the
first paper mill built west of the
Mississippi. AS to the social and
other qualities of Mr.. Tower too
much can not be said in their praise.
His winning manner, kind sympathetic
heart, his ready hand, his sweet deeds
of thoughtful attention, his devotion
to the church which he loved so we'll,
are remembered with the tenderest
emotions, and will be always, his
being character which impressed
itself upon the hearts of the many to
whom he was endeared, and who
mourn with the sincerity which he
nobly merits

store building in Milwaukee for a
term of years, where they will carry
on the dry goods and clothing bust
ness. They are rustling business men

business venture in the first city of
the state will be crowned with success.

An exchange says: The question is
often asked regarding the law of the
street for pedestrians. A lawyer ans
wers as follows: The streets belong to
the teams and vehicles, and the pedes-
trians have no more right on them
than teams would have on the side
walk. The cross walks at street cor
ners belong to pedestrians, who have
the right of way there by law against
teams. Many drivers ignore the law,
go dashing over cross walks, endan-
gering the life and limb Of the pedes-
trian, without once thinking they were
violating the law, by driving rapidly
over crossing, nor can the driver OBJ
struct the crossing.
To make your business pay, good
health is a prime factor. To secure
good health, the blood should be kept
pure and vigorous by the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla. When the vital
fluid is impure and sluggish, there can
be neither health, strength, nor ambi
ton.
