MRS MARY SMITH HUTCHINSON.

Mrs Hutchinson died at her home on Barrackmatiff in Salisbury, April 23d, aged 93 years and 21 days. She was the daughter of Deacon Gideon Smith and Euuice Hurd Smith, born April 2d, 1902, and baptized two months after by Rev Joseph Warren Crossman, second pastor of the Congregational Church. In 1S15-16 great revival swept over Salisbury, under the preaching of Rev Asahel Nettleton, whereby more than three hundred persons were converted. One hundred and eighty-eight joined the Congregational Church at that time, and among them was Mary Smith. Thus at her death she had been a church member for over 79 years, and was, with one exception, the oldest person in the church January Sd, 1927 she married Myron Hutchinson, after ward made deacon, who took her to the farm that had been held in the Hutchinson name from the beginning of the town. Not only did she pass from one deacon's roof to another, but her connection with the life of the church is still further emphasized by the fact that in this family the commun- ion service has been cared. for and pre- pared for over hundred years. She was the mother of ten children, one of whom died in youth, the remainder living 10 maturity, six of whom survive her. Deacon Hutchinson left her a widow in 1883.
 She was a most devout and godly woman, deeply interested in all things Christian, devoted to her church, and and the warm ally of her successive pastors. She was of the strong and sturdy stock that has made New Eng land what it is, shrinking not from toll, counting not the life dear unto herself. of the kind that s'taketh hold with her hands" and fiudeth difficult thing true joy. Many as were the demands of her own household, she was constantly planning for other peoples comfort, exercising the warmest hospi- tality and fully exemplifying the apos- ties description of deacon's wife, faithful in all things"
 She has lived of late years in her own home, surrounded by her children and grandchildren, receiving the love and respect of all who knew her, in sight of the beautiful mountains of Salisbury and of the still more Delectable Moun- tains of God, ripening for paradise. Her death was not unexpected, either by her family or herself, and it was with eagerness and delight she heard the summons at length, even as that other Mary, "The Master is come, and, calleth for thee"

MRS OLIVE PRATT.

Mrs Olive Gay Pratt, the widow of Schuyler Pratt, died at Ct. Burlington, April 26, aged 99 years, l month and 8 days. She was the oldest person of the town of Salisbury, SO far as known, and attained the oldest age of any one in the. Congregational Church of Salis- bury, where she was member and where her burial was held. She united with this church in the great revival of 1927 under the pastorate of Rev Leon- ard E Lathrop, D. D at which time 69 united with it. It is significant that both of these aged saints, Mrs Hutch inson and Mrs Pratt, who died only three days apart, came into the church at notable revival, for that of 1927 was second only to the revival of 1915. Her long life is noteworthy as covering all the pastorates of this church, except the first. Mrs Pratt lived year and one day under President Washington, and thus it may be said of her that she lived under every president of the U. s, She has seen the nation grow from four million to seventy, from IS states to A.
 There Is reason for such longevity, and large part of 1t lies in the charac- ter of the person. Mrs Pratt was al- ways young in heart, kept herself so by taking an interest in all around her. Instead of becoming absorbed in her own ailments, or sombre by looking mournfully into the past, she looked away from herself, looked toward the future, and her face was roseate with its coming glory. She was cheerful, but not because she had an easy life. The mother of eight children, living for years on top of Mt. Riga, and walk ing each Sabbath day to church, can- not be said to have much ease. But she was cheerful by force of will, by dint of looking on the bright side, be- lieyiog in that divine philosophy that ''all things work together for good to them that love God" She was a woman of faith. She was tried by misfortune, by sickness, by death. All but two of her children, as we'll as her husband, were taken hence before her. But as one support after another was removed, she was wont to say very gently and uncomplainingly, the Lord will provide. ''And it all came to pass" Her later years were full of love, tender care ard | veneration.
 "E'en down to old age all my people shall | prove
 My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
 And then, when grey hairs shall their tenn | pies adorn,
 Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be | borne."

ABSOLUTELY PURE
An Idaho County Landmarks.
UTEEY pUE E

The oldest established business
firm in Idaho county is that of
Alexander & Freidenrich. They
opened for business on the site Of
their present extensive establish
ment in Grangeville in the summer
of 1879. From that date down to
the present time they have become
permanently identified with the
interests of the county and the
people, and have long been the ac-
knowledged Leaders in the mer-
camille business in this part of the
State. Commencing in small way
when the outlook for the future
growth of Grangeville, Camas prai-
rie and Idaho county was far from
being as encouraging as it is today,
they have attended steadily to
business, and as result have sue
ceeded in building up the most
extensive establishment in north
ern Idaho.
In addition to their vast retail
and outiitting trade they do a very
large jobbing trade with retailers
in other towns and in the mining
camps of this county. Being very
extensive buyers, and buying at
first hands on strictly cash basis,
and getting the benefits of all the
cash discounts, they are able and
willing to meet competition from
any and all sources. Their long
residence here has also given them
the additional advantage of know
ing just what the necessities of the
community requires, and, copse-
quently, they are never overloaded
with dead stock for which there is
no demand. Consequently, their
stock is always new and fresh and
to the last detail.
The introduction of keen compe-
tition into the business of general
merchandising only serves to de-
monstrate to the people that the
firm of Alexander & Freidenrich
are Leaders in experience, Leaders
in extent, variety and quality Of
stock, and last, but not least,
Leaders in the introduction of
Low Prices.
Call and inspect their mammoth
stock Of new Fall and Winter
goods, now arriving daily-the
largest assortment of general mer-
ever brought into Idaho
county. Every peice is fresh from
the factories, and they now offer
more value for the dollar than
ever before.
