Memorial Sunday,

The G. A. K. and kindred associations
assembled last Sunday to attend divine
service as has been the custom in years
gone by. This year the different orders,
comprising the Post, Sons OF Veterans
the Relief Corps and the Circle attended
the Congregational Church, and there
was also large attendance OF towns
people. After the usual exercises, Rev.
Geo. o. Howe Offering prayer, thepastor,
Rev. 0. c. Helming, announced as his
text the words found in John III, 16:
Hereby perceive we the love of God be-
cause He laid down his life for us; and
we ought to lay down our lives for the
brethren"
BY way of introduction the Rev. gen
tleman spoke of the laws of life and de-
velopment, illustrated how out of the
rough heroism of lower civilization a
higher one was evolved. From that he
went to consideration of the character
istics of the soldiers of the late war, their
motives, their intelligence, all showing
that in this instance it was the higher
civilization fighting for itself, and when a
power like that arose to its own vindi-
cation it gave great hope for the future.
He feelingly gave instances of personal
devotion of the soldiers to the cause and
to each other and then passed to the
cause of all their sacrifices, maintaining
the Importance of sustaining this expert
ment of selfgovernment which was at
tempted under most advantageous cir.
cumstances, and which was so triumph.
antlv indicated. The soldiers of the
North fought not only for themselves and
for their homes, but for the South as we'll
for they fought to sustain institutions
lust as valuable to the South as to the
North, and the South was beginning tc
appreciate their services. The bitterness
of the war was passing away and The
time had come for the exercise of con
ciliatory spirit, for a harmonious senti
meut which would direct all hopes ant
efforts towards the growth, happiness
and prosperity of the people. The whole
services were simple, plain and resttul
and were all of a becoming and interest
ing character.

May 2S.-A serious accident occurred
i'll the yard of the Lewis Lumber Co.,
last Thursday. Guy Blodgett, the Is
years old son of the late Byron Blodgett,
while driving span of horses attached
to roller fell off from his seat in front OF
the roller which passed over him, killing
him almost instantly. Guy was re-
markable boy. Although but a boy in
years and size he was manly in all his
ways and actions. Il is not every hero
that has borne title nor every king that
has worn crown, but just such qualities
as this boy possessed we find character
istic of Washington or Lincoln. When
his father died last winter and his mother
was left with four small children depend
ent upon her, in her bereavement and
despair she cried what shall do" His
was the voice that found an answer to
her anguish, Lean on me, mother, lean
on me, and all through the winter and
spring he worked, never losing a day, and
carried his earnings home to support his
mother little brothers and sister. For a
year this boy of Is years has commanded
the wages of a man. For industry, per.
severance, nobility of purpose, filial love
and true manhood, Guy Blodgett leaves
record unsurpassed. Surely a crown
awaits him beyond.

Fish warden Davis very innocently

den he deliberately cast his string of fish

A much wanted man by deputy sheriff
Davis is John Jacobs. He had been in the
employ of Mr.. Davis as cook, and was
arrested last Friday by the sheriff on
n charge of intoxication. To this charge
before Justice Parsons he pleaded guilty
and the usual fine OF SIS and costs was
imposed. Unable to pay, the alternative

AMONG OUR NEIGHBORS.
Bloomfield.

MAY 2S.-A terrible accident occurred
last Thursday, May %. Guy Blodgett,
a son of the late Byron l.. Blodgett, was
driving pair of horses with very large
grain roller and when near the Lewis
Lumber Company's stables his horses
somehow became unmanageable by him
and threw him under the roller and he
was instantly killed. All things consid-
cred this is the most heartrending and
lamentable event that has occurred in
this town Cor many years. His father
died about three months ago and Guy,
his eldest son, came to be his mother 5
sole dependence. Although he was not
yet 16 years of age he right mantully I'M
dertook the task of supporting his mother
and three younger children. His widowed
mother seems now completely broken
down under this double affection. She
has the warm-heartcd sympathy OF the
whole community, and it has been shown
with quite liberal material help. The
funeral W as held last Saturday at the
Baptist Church at North Strattord. The
church was crowded to nearly its ut
most capacity. The mill was shut down
and most all the mill hands attended the
service
