BAILEY.

The death of Joseph II. Bailey in 1870,
broke a connecting link between the past,
early and important history OF Newbury
and the present.
Gen. Jacob Bailey has appropriately been
called the "Father of Newbury" for he was
the original grantee, the pioneer mover IN
most of the important early enterprises,
and was trusted friend of Washington
during the Revolution. He was appointed
Quarter master for this part of the state,
and not only dis ributed the public sup
niles with remarkable fidelity and judge
ment but gave his personal notes and
nledCed lis lands to obtain supplies to meet
the pressing emergencies of the times, and
after the war he redeemed those pledges,
and gave up a large share of the magnif-
cent meadow land to pay debts thus incur

French war and narrowly escaped with his

reward Tor his person. A bold effort made

The Adams Paper Co. is one of the
oldest and most successful business en-
terprises of Wells River, and their fine
manila tissues have a high reputation
among the trade, and find a ready mar
ket throughout New England. This
business was founded in 1911 by Bill
Blake, sold to Ira White in 1910, who
added book publishing, and continued
until about 1850, and it was sold in
1882 to Durant & Adams.
In 1883 Deming & Learned bought
out the old firm, still retaining MIR.

officer of the United States army to a

SCHOOL HOUSES FOR TRyANTs.
New Educational Institution Which

New Educational InstitutiDn Which
May lie Looked for In New York.
One result of the compulsory educa-
ton law Of New York, which has just
gone into effect, and the enforcement
of which is sure to be attended by
many difficulties. will be the erection
or at least the establishment in New
York City Of truant schools for the eX-
elusive accommodation of habitual
nOnattendants or pupils who are insub-
ordinate. disorderly or irregular in
their attendance. If the law is to be
strictly carried out, says the Washing
ton Post, it will give new impetus
10 the rl.ilding of new schoolhouseS all
over the state, for there are numerous
large towns where there is not room
enough for the regularly enrolled pupils
who are desirous of going to school, 10
say nothing of the truants.
The law requires that an children
between eight and twelve must attend
during the entire period that public
schools are in session from Oct. 10
June /; that all between - and IA
must attend at least eighty consecutive
school days during the same period, I'M
less regularly and lawfully engaged in
some useful employment Of service,
and that all between fourteen and six
teen must attend when not so en-
ploycd, parents and guardians failing
to comply with the law being subject
to n penalty of So for the first offense
and fine and Imprisonment for each
subsequent offense. Under such string
cnt provisions it is obvious that the full
purpose Of the law will not be filled
without more or less troublesome de-
lay. but the fact that the state super
intendent of education is authorized
to withhold onehalf the state school
money from any city that fails to en-
force the law 10 his satisfaction will
help things into shape in time. Any
failure on the part of the City Of New
York will lose for its schools the hand
some sum of One-half OF S63i000, and
this amount the city superintendent
proposes 10 have applied toward in
creased accommodations for truants
and the establishment of q farm school
for youths of the ''incorrigible" class.

Paris Is Laughing Over It's Convcn-
fence for the Police.
Two detectives were in the Rue st.
Martin. Their attention was attracted
to n man pushing a large packing case
on n cart along the street. This man
was apparently talking to himself.
They overheard the remark: Don't
be afraid, old fellow. 1 will take the
shortest cut" Arriving at the Rue de
Bondy, he desposited the packing case
in the warehouse Of merchant named
Roux. The detectives concealed them
selves in the warehouse for the night.
After midnight n man issued from the
packing case. He was provided with a
set of burglars tools, and set to work
to demolish the lock Ci the safe. The
operation took long time, but at last
the door flew open and the robber filled
his pockets with gold and silver. He
withdrew once more into the case,
which closed upon him. The detectives
were in no huc"y 70 handcuff the thief,
but waited the return of his confed-
crate. In the morping he presented
himself to take away the case and was
arrested before entering the warehouse.
The detectives paced the case on n
hand cart and dragged it to the office
of the police commissary. On the way
they acted the part Uf the accomplfce.
When the man in the box inquired,

In Detroit IL has been the same as every other

day by day the little army OF followers is in

by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
even after the disease has progressed so
far as to induce repeated bleedings from
the lungs, severe lingering cough with
copious expectoration (including tubercu-
lar matter) great loss of flesh and extreme
emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
il surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal inalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book OF 100
pages which will be mailed to you OH re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
