J. Is a very sad fact that the more a
woman trusts to the skill of her physician
in treating her female complaints, the
longer she is apt to suffer.
Lydia E. Pinkham fully realized this
fact when she commenced that exhaus.

and produced the Vegetable Compound,

We hear that our esteemed fellow-citi-
zen "Cocky" went to Portland recently
t enjoy the novelty of a ride on the new
electric cars. There is no truth in the =
port that being frightened at the furious
pace he begged tn conductor to stop and
let him off neither is it fact that he was
found at the end Of the journey wonder
ing what the result would be if only the
G. T. r. trains made such time. On the
contrary we have reason to believe that
"Cocky" was entirely satisfied with his
trip and is looking forward to the day
when he will be able to invest another
nickel in the same manner.

Town Affairs.

The annual report of the town officers
has been distributed and the voters have
plenty of time for perusal before town
meeting, next Tuesday. The report Gov
ers 81 pages, and is full of subjects for
consideration by voter and tax payers
alike The indebtedness of the town
last year was given as $+9S+.67, and
this year it is given as S7037.51, an in
crease of $2O52.S+. This Indebtedness
the auditors say is exclusive OF the shirt
factory bonds, the L. S. Surplus Fund
and the interest thereon, also the interest
on outstanding orders. Included in the
report is long list of property owned
bv the town, the value of which, how.
ever, is not given. There was expended
for the poor S135393 The appropria
ton called for $S19.66, heing 10 pei
cent of the grand list. The Road Com
missioner expended S1395.2+. His APP
preparation amounted to S1519.07 leav
ing an unexpended balance OF S123.S3
The expenditures of the School BoarC
we're S5O49. &c, exceeding their appropri
alton bv S+75.69. This large expenditure
is chiefly due to the purchase of new
school books, amounting to S1O99.S4
There is also an increase in the amount
of salaries paid teachers, which for tht
year now drawing to its close amounted
to S27+O.45 as compared with $2656.9e
the preceding year. The Selectmen ex
pended $3O32.31 from an appropriation
ofS3177.O6, leaving unexpended S144. rs
The liquor agency shows sales amount
ing to over 100000 at net profit o
S1129.61, of which $7OO.59 is to be paiC
into the State treasury. From the fore
going it will be seen that the Overseer o
the Poor and the School Board have ex
ceeded their appropriations, and the
Road Commissioner and Selectmen hav,
kept within their appropriations. Th'
town grand list is S63O5.12, and til,
assessments one dollar and fifty cents OF

HARRIET CoE RosEBROoK

was born in Burke, Vt, in 1928, and was
married to Hon. Wm. X. Roscbrook
March 20, 1855, and died at Brighton
February 20, 1896. Funeral services
were held on The 22d inst, conducted by
Rev. Geo 0. Howe, and were attended by
a large number OF friends.
Appreciation OF the virtues Of great
majority OF people who live grows out OF
demonstratiye elements, something as
sumed or actively operating on Others TO
make impressions. 1t is not because OF
anything of that nature that the whole
community feels very deeply the loss Of
Mrs. Harriet Coe Rosebrook, whose
death occurred as above stated. But it is
because of the rich, deep aud silently in
teresting associations of the early days
OF this town and county which her death
calls up in the minds of all who remem-
Der the local incidents with which she has
been connected for nearly halt a century.
She and her husband who survives were
both connected with families which en-
graved their characteristics on the So
cieties of which they were part as firmly
have left as lasting impressions OF old
| time virtue, probity, industry and frugal
ity as any with whom these communities
have been blessed And in the exercise OF
! quiet unassuming patience, generosity
hospitality and wOmanly tortitude and
of courage in working out silently, and
with that graceful modesty which nature
only gives to woman those problems OF
true home life which most adorn and
honor womanhood, she had no superior
if equal. The two, he prinCely farmer,
were surrounded by wide acquaintance
and numerous and honorable relations
all over the country, and blessed with the
rich and plain abundance of a country
| home which all in the more adulterated
currents of lite so often sigh for and yet
these conditions never for a moment
moved this grand typical New England
woman to lessen her sympathy for or
eloigne herself from the needy and most
! humble. In sickness and in health, in
success or disaster, she was always the
same patient, toiling, generous devoted
wife friend and neighbor. When one OF
those humble but grand pioneer lives go
out a shade of suhdued but deep sadness
come over the mind of everyone who has
seen those interesting rural scenes passing
in common life for nearly halt century
1t is history, romance and fancy con-
verified into realities. These things are
not as intense in hooks though written
with pen dipped in the most vivid
IMAGINATION as when written by deeds
and lives on the hearts of living men and
women. And as this good woman so
dear to numerous relatives and friends, so
treasured in the tender memories of all
and so warml V cherished and approved
everywhere, eXerted those silent, sacred
and womanlv influences in gentle hum
bic way on earth which only one who
does no wrong to others can, so she has
quietly passed into the presence Of that
great hereafter sure of that approva
which the proudest and most pretentious
being on earth would yield all earthly
possessions to be assured of. G.N.D.

In response to the call for citizens
caucus to put in nomination list OF
town officers to be supported by the free
men of the town at the coming annual
meeting over one hundred citizens met in
the opera hall last Tuesday evening. The
meeting was organized by the choice OF
Porter H. Dale as chairman and W. H.
Bishop as secretary. Before proceeding
to the regular business resolution was
offered to the effect that it was the senti-
ment OF those assembled that the present
town liquor agent, Mr.. 0. L. Maasur, be
retained for the ensuing year and the
resolution was unanimously adopted
This is certainly a cordial endorsation Of
Mr.. Mansur's services in this respect and
must be highly pleasing to him. Mr.. S.
D. Hobson corrected the statement made
that he was intending to have the town
build a road from his creamery to the
main road. He asserted the present roads
of the town were good enough for him,
| and that ere a petition presented for
the construction OF such a road he would
refuse to sign it. Brief remarks were
made by Gov. Dale Lieut.. Gov. Mansur,
and Dr. ]. H. Linchan, and the meeting
proceeded to the business OF the evening
