Dea. f. S. Garfield has been quite
sick for the past few days. He is
suffering with bilious difficulty.
The item of few weeks ago with
the statement that May Corey had
returned to Windham should have
read Windsor.
A large number of beech logs are
being drawn to A. A. Curtis mill to
be sawed into plane wood.
Mrs. Julia Gibson of the south vii
lage has been visiting with her sister,
Mrs. Eta Howard, for the past few
days.
The post office has been located in
the Gibson block across the street
from Leonard's store since the fire.
A frame of boxes were obtained at
the south village which fills the place
of those burned quite we'll.
Mrs. Ella Payne is stopping at the
Hermitage for few days.
Mrs. Julia Corey wishes to thank
all who so kindly and earnestly la
bored to save her house from burn
ing.
Our community feels very grateful
for the willingness in which the
friends at the south village responded
on the morning of the fire. Had Mrs.
Corey's house burned, the engine
would have proved of great service
and would have doubtless been the
means of saving much property.
Asa Whitman died at his brother
Ara's, Saturday evening after an ILL
ness of few days. He was attend
ed by DR.. Arnold who called DR..
Millington in consultation Saturday.
1t was decided to perform necessary
operation which was done success
fully, but the exhaustion proved too
much for the strength of the aged
man who gradually sank away into
the sleep of death.
Mr.. Whitman was born in Wind
ham in the year 1903 and was there
fore sc years of age. His wife and
children with exception of one daugh-
ter have proceeded him in death.
Rev. W. R. Curtis received the
sad intelligence on Wednesday of
last week of tue death of his mother
who died at her home in Diemont,
Me-, with heart disease. The de-
ceased was 81 years Of age and
leaves a husband, six sons and five
daughters. On account of the illness
of his wife, pastor Curtis was unable
to attend the funeral. He feels CRATE
full to all who have spoken words of
sympathy to him in his bereavement.
C.
Mrs. Rev. w. r. Curtis who has
been quite sick for the past 10 days
is able to ride out.
C. Z Bacon has moved the few
goods saved from the fire into the
Gibson block and now expects to re-
main with us till spring. His stock
of goods were insured for SO, 700, the
policy running till the first of Janu-
airy '95. Mr.. Bacon wrote the in
surance agent at Bellows Falls the
proceeding Friday requesting him to
renew the policy. The day after the
fire he notified the agent of his loss
only to get the reply that he had re.
ceived no request to renew the policy
This turn of affairs was great blow
to Mr.. Bacon and the one expression
has been by all his friends, sit is too
bad" We understand that Mr.
Bacon visited the office of the agen
yesterday and received little en-
couragement that he would receiv,
something on his loss. D.
The Spiritual Progressive Societ

of his father.

holidays at home with his family.
Mrs. Clara Wyman was taken sud
denly sick last Saturday but at pres
ent is better.
II +. G.. Bacon has rented the cham
bers in Ben Sparrow's house for til
present until he has an opportunit
to find out what he can do. That fiji

hopes he will decide to rebuild as 500
as spring opens if not before.
We understand that H. Dow ha
been slightly improving for the pas
few days.
