Obituary.

Mary Elizabeth, wife of the late Capt.
Nathaniel Hatch, died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Ann NJ. J4oJhrop of New
York, Aug. 18th. Mrs. HaJon was born in
Gloucester, Mass, Oct. I, 1906, and in early
life married Herbert R. Sargent of Glouces-
ter, and came to Belfast in the year 1927.
where she lived for about 80 years. Her
maiden name was Rogers and it was with
pride that she could trace her family name
back to the martyr, John Rogers. She was
fond of relating the experiences of her early
life, particularly those connected with the
war of 1872, and of seeing Lafayette on his
visit to America. She retained her faculties
to the last and but for the excessive heat of
this season might have lived much longer.
She was possessed of a strong character and
was very firm in her friendships. She was
Universalist and was one of the prime
movers in forming the church of that de-
nomination in this city. Her work in the
church and in charitable lines will be re-
membered by many of our older citizens
She manifested in her life the sterling quail
ties of the old New England ancestry. The

We're brought to this city last Saturday ac-
companied by Mr.. Chas. G. Sargent, her son,
and by her granddaughter, Mrs. F. W. Pote.
Funeral services were held in New York,
and the ihterment was made in the family
lot in Grove cemetery. The floral offerings
were very handsome, and included sheaf
of wheat from her son Charles wreath of
ivy from her daughter, Mrs. Lothrop; cut
flowers from her daughter, Mrs. Wiley; a
cross from Mr.. and Mrs Sumner W. 10th

Major Ferguson. who is noted as an
adept In framing compliments, came

Mr.. WOodcock, the retiring sheriff, a
solid gold ring, which, Mr.. Ferguson
said, was emblematic of the endless
friendship which would exist between
Mr.. WOOdcock and the donors, so long
as he conducted himself as he had in
the past. James Lawrence also rep
resented some friends Of Mr.. Wood
cock, and in their behalf presented
him with an A.O.U.W. emblem of
beautiful design. Mr.. Woodcock ex-
pressed his thanks for the tokens, and
tried to relieve himself of his grateful
feelings, when he, too, discovered a
4lump in his throat" and gave it uD
with the expression that his friends
would have to be satisfied with the
expression OF thanks clearly depicted
upon his countenance.

Will Taylor hits the spot in the
following paragraph from his Cald-
well News:
]. PlerpOnt Morgan. head Of the
gold syndicate, has informed the
government that it wants all the new
bonds or it won't take any. They
claim that there is not enough gold
in the country outside of their vaults
to take up the bonds, hence the hold
up. Still, once in awhile, you find a
person who can't see the danger Of a
gold standard nor comprehend the
power Of a man with a few million
dollars in cash.

should be made.

member, Mr.. Murphy, being present,
was introduced and the new board
was organized by electing Commits

After all the transfers had been
made and the new officers were in
charge, the retired officers were sur
rounded in the commissioners Office
and made the recipients Of pres &.
ents by their friends and court house
associates, who desired to express in
a proper manner their feelings Of re-
gard for and their appreciation of
the valuable services rendered to the
county by the most worthy ex-ofi-
cials.
The first man to whom attention
was given was ]. P. Faurot, the retir-
ing county commissioner. Col. ]. W.
Forney, Of Belle Plaine, addressed
him in behalf of the friends who de-
sired to compliment him, and in the
course of his remarks said that the
term ''gold-bug" was usually consid.
cred an apprObrious epithet, and he
supposed that the present his friends
had selected for him was meant to
signify that they considered him a
goldbug. He then presented Mr..
FaurOt with fine gOld-headed cane.
James Lawrence then stepped forward
and presented Mr.. FaurOt with a kew
stone charm, which he said was in

Estate Auditor Coles examination

The apove clippings are taken from

Baldwin, treats Rev. BOtkin.

Rev. BotkiD is not an office hunter.

carrying millions of men and women
down. Starvation, beggary and idle
ness breeds crime of description. MIR
