The Young Mems Republican club held
its sixth meeting Wednesday evening when
they threw to the breeze a fine Mckinley
and Hobart flag. q As the flag floated out
Hon. j. l.. Martin of Brattleboro called
for three cheers for the Republican party,
which were given as only a party of en-
thusiastic Republicans can give them.
After the flag was raised the people ad-
iourned to the town hall, which was filed
to its utmost capacity. Mr.. Martin gave a
very eloquent address on the political issue
of the campaign. He showed how the
Chicago convention was run By the silver
mine and bullion owners, how they were
the ones and not the laboring man that
would be benefited by free silver. He also
showed that the hard times, which some
say mustIcome, once in about so often, have
only come under the free trade tariff OF
Democratic administration, and not under
the protective tariff of the Republican par
ty. Following Mr.. Martins address the
audience all joined in singing our natlona
hymn, "America," when the meeting wa!
adjourned until Saturday evening

In Memory of Myrtle Spring.

A little group of loving friends gathered about
an open grave on Saturday July Is, TO lay the
wasted body of Myrtle Spring to rest by the side
of her father, brother and sister in the Springfield
cemetery. That her sweet and gentle nature had
won the love of all and the grateful affection Of
those to whom she had tenderly ministered in
times of need was attested by the abundant and
beautiful floral tributes which hid the grave from
view. While we think with sorrow that we shall
not again see her sweet smiling face this side
of the dark river,we believe that, in some way we
cannot understand, she is still with us and freed
from earthly pain, rejoices in our loving thoughts

DUMMERSTON,
Mrs. william o. Miller.

Mrs. Julia Haven Miller, wife of William
o. Miller, died last Friday at the we'll
known homestead in Dummerston, after
an illness of more than four months. Mrs.
Miller was the daughter of Ira and Jemima
Haven, and was born in Dummerston
June Is, 1920. The family soon after
moved to West Brattleboro, where she
grew up, gaining her early education at
the Brattleboro academy. She taught
school in Brattleboro and vicinity, also in
-. Clinton, Mass, and in West Virginia. She
married William Oscar Miller Oct. rs,
1856, and her home has ever since been on
the farm which her husband bought from
his father, William Miller, an early Dunn
merston resident. She was a good farm
ers wife and devoted mother to her chill
dren, but in a wider way than this her
kindly, motherly heart went out to all who
came within her reach, and the Miller
home became a favorite resort for many
Brattleboro young folk who delighted to
go there for day or to enjoy an evenings
hospitality. City jewellers found here a
delightful home for the summer rest.
Mrs. Miller was for 80 years the organ
ist in the old church on the hill. Since
1868 she had been a member of the church.
She was a teacher in the Sunday school
and active in all the work of the church.
She found great enjoyment in current lit
erature, and books were her companions,
often till far into the night. The funeral
was held Monday afternoon, Rev. p. F.
Barnard and Rev. c. o. Day of Brattleboro
officiating. Miss Emma Gregg of Brattle-
boro sang Crock of ages" and "Abide
with me" with sympathetic tenderness
The burial was in the cemetery which was
formerly part of the Miller farm.
Besides her husband Mrs. Miller is sur
vived by two children, William Dana Mil
Ter of Easthampton, Mass, and Edwin
Haven Miller, the well-known vocalist,
who carries on the home farm. A brother
of Mrs. Miller, Osmond Haven of Pitts
field, Mass, and two sisters, Rachel Ha-
ven and Mrs. Harry II. Miller of Dunn
merston, also survive.
Fayette Miller has recently made him a
portable cloth tent; and he with three
other young companions one hot night
last week tented on the top of Prospect
hill and had delightful time and good
sleep in the cool atmosphere.
Mrs. r. P. Pratt was 90 years old Aug.
homework. Last Sunday she attended
church and on Monday Afternoon attended
the funeral of Mrs. Miller. She has al
ways been a very industrious woman and
constant in attendance at church until
within a year or two. When living in
Newfane, she was teacher in the Sunday
school and had for a time as one of her
pupils, the late Eugene Field of Chicago.

Mr.. b. POWERS.

insignificant sore, to which I paid little
attention at first. This sore refused
to heal, and after a while became quite
obstinate, and began to grow. I placed
myself under the treatment of pro1ni-
nent physicians, who said I had cancer
of the most stubborn type, and though
I took their treatment faithfully, the
cancer grew steadily all the while,
increasing in size and severity. I
also took nearly every medicine
that was recommended for the
blood, and applied various sa1ves
and ~ointnents, all without the slightest

steadily growing worse, for the ANGER

the cancer to discharge, thus forcing

Then Cancer.

Probably nc disease carries such ter
ror in its path as Cancer-and well
may this dreadful affection be regarded
with horror. In an alarming manner,
it slowly but surely preys upon the
life's blood, bearing the victim nearer
the grave day by day. Beyond the use
of the knife the physician is power1ess,
and too much cannot be said against
the folly of resorting to the knife for
a cure of this terrible disease. Can
Ger is in the blood, hence it is apparent
to all that no relief can be expected
from an operation. In ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred the cancer promptly
returns, if not in the same place, in
the same locality, and is far more ma
lignant than before. The same Is true
of attempts to remove the cancer by
means Of caustic plasters, etc, and all
who have had this treatment claim
that death cannot be more painful.
But there is a cure for cancer-one
which gets at the seat of the disease,
and o its cause. S.. S. s. Is the
only rea1 blood remedy, and cures cam
Ger and all other blood diseases, even
after other treatment has failed.
One of the we11-known residents OF
Macon, Ga, is Mr.. II. Powers, the con-
tractor and builder, who lives at SIS
Ross street. For twenty year Mr..
Powers has suffered intensely irons
cancer on his face, which was treated
constantly, but grew worse all the
while. He sought the best medical
skill in vain, and could see no hope Of
ever being cured.
On June p, 1896, he writes: "Twenty
years ago, while being shaved, a small
mole on my face was cut, leaving an
