V. l. A.

Officers Elected. Annual Report.
 The annual meeting of the Village Improvement Association was held at the Town Hall, March 9. and was the largest and most enthusiastic meeting that society has held in recent years. The failure of the Fire District project has awakened an interest in the V. I. A. for it is admitted by all that the growth and prosperity of this village has been due in large measure to the V. I. A, !, and that if inducements are to be con- tinued to people to locate here the V. I. A must be sustained and no back ward steps taken. The streets must be light ed, the sidewalks kept in order, shade trees planted and cared for; in short the village must be kept neat, clean and at- tractive.
 Without reporting ID detail the rou- tine business, or recording the speeches, suggestions offered, and thanks given the old board of officers, we pass on to the election of officers which resulted as follows: President, Miss s. W. Adam ; vice-president. J. L.. Bragg; secretary. Miss Louise Bragg; treasurer, Mrs O.. Fl. Briggs; executive committee, E. E. Bartram, Miss J. E. Norton, Miss Min nie Peirce, Dr J. D. Clemsns, A.

Death of Mrs. Edward Farrell.

Mrs. Rachel Farrell, wife of Edward
Farrell, died at her residence on Main
street yesterday morning at about 5
o'clock, after a long illness.
The cause of her death was paralysis
of the heart, though she had compli.
cation of diseases. Up to the time of
her paralysis about five years ago, she
was in the best of health, hardly know
ing what it was to have spell of sick
ness. Since that time her health has
been very much impaired and she has
been on the steady decline ever since.
Mrs. Farrell was the daughter of
Henry VanGasken, who for years was
associated with his brother, John, as
contractors and builders in this town.
She was born in Detroit, Michigan, in
1886. In 1862 she was married to Ed
ward Farrell, who was born and raised
in this community and learned mis-
trade with her father, of the old firm
of H. & ]. VanGasken, of this town.
Mr.. Farrell left here and went to Cali
fornia. About ten years afterward he
came to ShamOkin. Pa, where they
We're living at that time, and was mar.
ried to Miss Rachel VanGasken.
They subsequently went to Cali
fOrnia where he was in business and
remained there until 1883. Since that
time she has been living in this town.
Mrs. Farrell was dutiful wife and
mother. To her children she was al.
ways devoted and no sacrifice was too
great for their comfort. In later years
she has had TO be separated from her
husband more or less, owing to his
business relations i'm California, and it
was always a comfort and pleasure to
her to look forward to his coming
home. 1t was in her home that her
truest character was brought out.
She was a commitment of the st.
Peters Episcopal Church of this town
In fact most of her life was devoted in
some way or other to church work. not
so much in this church for during heT
residence here she has been an invalid
but in California she found it a great
pleasure to be engaged in church work
She leaves husband and three chill.
