1t is an uncommon thing to learn Of
persons reaching the age OF Mrs ESnyle
Hyde Grinnell, and years Of good health
such as hers come only TO those who
make vse of the very best means of
keeping well
No one will wonder that the bright
eyed old lady, whose mind today is as
alert and clear as ever, should be anx-
ious for others to try Paine's celery
compound.
Mrs. Emyle Hyde GrinneN was born
tn Bennington, VT, July 6, 1896, and is
today living with her granddaughter,
the wife of Martin Fowler of Colchester,
VT, a beautiful town near Fort Ethan
Allen. Her father was a farmer and
hotel keeper, and she lived upon the
farm until her marriage. Mrs. Grinnell
has none of the infirmities of old age
She rises ait daylight, works about the
house, and when the weat Their will per-
NIT walks outdoors. Her eyesight is so
good that she threads a needle and
spends many hours crocheting and doing
fancy work. She keeps abreast of the
times and is remarkably well-informed
upon many subjects. She declares that
she does not feel any older than she has
for years, and if people half her age en-
joyed such good health as she they
would consider themselves fortunate.
She has seven children, four boys and
three girls, two of whom are living to-
day

The Farmers, sns,i,u,e.

The meeting held on Tuesday at the
opera house to resuscitate the Farmers
Institute organized some tine ago, and
listen to papers on various subjects oil
interest to the farmer and orchardist was
not as largely attended as it should have
been. Nevertheless those present receiv-
ed much benefit. Prof. Spilman gave a
very interesting talk on the breeding of
dairy cows, and also had much to say
about the different kinds OF food for this
class. He said that while alfalfa con-
tanned, with one exception, larger per
centage of milk than any other grass, he
did not believe the best results could be
obtained by feeding alfalfa alone, but ad-
vised mixture of an inferior quality OF
barley grain.
Prof. Fulmer then gave an instructive
talk on Apples" advising as to the hest
varieties adapted to this soil and climate,
and on Wednesday took up the theme oil
"Soil and Fertilizers" The attendance
was somewhat larger than on the previ
GUS day. IL is to be regretted that more
OF the farmers OF this county could not
have been present and entered into the
topics presented.

Clemans. The evening was passed most
pleasantly in music, conversation, the
enjoyment of most tempting supper,
and in general merrymaking. Several
very pretty and appropriate presents
were received by Mr.. and Mrs. Chappell,
not least appreciated of which were The
following lines by Hon. r. X. Nichols:
A MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARY.
Here's to our friends, Sam Chappell and wife,
They deserve all the fortune found in this life:
Equally loved by the rich and the poor.
None empty handed go away from their door;
They are friends who stay with us In pleasure
or grief,
They joy in our joys, in woe bring relief
They put into practice the doctrine SO true,
Do unto others, as they should do to you;
May their children to them be treasures" in
deed,
Who ever obey their kind parents creed;
II is plain that. parting of lives so loving and
kind
Is to violate law, of Christ and mankind;
Hence, when Sam is called from earth unto
Life,
May he pass thro the Pearly Gates with Josie.

The bachelors entertainment at the
Commercial club Wednesday evening
was a pronounced success. There were
about $50 members and their friends
present and the reception rooms were
taxed to their utmost, but the arrange
ments and various features were praised
most generously by all the guests and
none left without the feeling that the
bachelors had acquitted themselves with
great credit. The program embraced
several musical selections and bur
lesque on 'Ingomar." Mr.. Frank
Wheeler acquitted himself as the love
stricken barbarian in splendid style
while Henry Teal captured all by
the manner which he took the part of
Parthenia. He was pronounced cy-
clone in petticoats, and his make up was
the envy OF the ladies. The music was
all that could be desired, the rooms hand
somely decorated and the refreshments
received general praise. 1t was an en-
joyable evening.

Methers

Remember that Castoria does not con-
tain Morphine, Opium, or any other
narcotic substance. in any quantity, shape
or form. 1t Is entirely vegetable, pleas
ant to take, positively effective, and per-
fectly harmless. 1t is not secret remedy;
the formula 10 printed on the wrapper.
Your hpysician will recommend it. Pare
goric, Bateman's Drops, and many so called
Soothing Syrups, are composed principal
ly Of Opium or Morphine; in any quantity
they stupefy, and in large quantities are
deadly poisons. Csstoria assimulates
the food and regulates the bowels, cures
disrrh9s, sllsys feverishness and freet-
fulness, soothes the pain in teething, re-
lieves constipation and kills worms. 1t
brings refreshing and natural sleep to the
child, and gives rest to the mother.
"Castoria is 80 well adapted to infants
and children, that / recommend it as
superior TO any other known remedy"
DR.. ii. A. ARCHER,
Ill s. Oxford ST., Brooklyn, N. Y.
March s, 1887.
From personal knowledge and obser-
walton / can say that Castoria is an ex-
cellent medicine for children, acting as a
laxative and relieving the pent up bowels
and general system very much. Many
mothers have told me OF its excellent eff
feet upon their children"
