The New York Sun, commenting upon
a suggested Mckinley cabinet in which
Senator Proctor is put down for secre-
tarv of State, says:
The trouble with it is that is not prac-
tical, but theoretical. The Hon. Redield
Proctor. for instance, is warrior, ana
not diplomatist. His touching loyalty
to the Hon. Thomas Bracket Reed TINS
wear shows that he has not taken heart
from his quarry business. He is too
impulsive and unseltish for secretary
of state.
Senator Proctor, like some other Yer
mont statesmen temporarily eXiled in
Washington last winter, quickly discov-
cred on coming home last spring to at
send the State convention, if he did not
not know it before, that Mr.. Reed was
not the presidential candidate of an over
whelming majority of his constituents
and, being wise man, he doubtless pre-
ferred to take high seat IN the band
wagon then and there rather than plod
along on foot in the dust raised by the
Mckinley vehicle. 1t is barely possible
however, that he may have been carried
away by his emotions.

Foote of Middlebury, George L. Powell
of Manchester, n. H., and Mis-. Julius
n. Mallory of Scituate, Mass. All
these were at the funeral. Mrs. Pow
ell was a woman of strong Christian
character and many virtues, and was
much esteemed by her neighbOrs and
all who had the advantage of her personal
acquaintance. She had been for many
years member of st. Stephens Episcopal
church and the funeral services were
held in accordance with the ritual of that
church at the home of Mrs. Foote at 2
o'clock Wednesday Afternoon, with a
large attendance of neighbors and
friends, Rev. d. A. Bonnar officiating.
The interment was by the side of her
husband in the West cemetery.
MRS. JOHN MoRCoMB.
Another has closed her eyes to the
activities of earth and ceased her patient
care and suffering. At the full allotted
age Friday afternoon, Nov. 20, Mrs.
John Morcom6 quietly entered that re-
pose from which there is no earthly wax
ing She leaves husband, four children,
a large circle of relatives and larger
circle of friends to await with her that
final meeting when there will be no more
farewells, no heartaches and no death,
She, with Mrs. Electa Wright, who
passed away few days before, was a
charter member of the Baptist church
and always faithful in the discharge of
her church work. She was an ardent
believer IN the Lord Jesus Christ and her
life was regnant with a d. ep and thorough
conservation. The Holy Spirit dwelt deep
with her. According to her deep devotion
to her family will her absence be felt.
Her experience for the last few days of
consciousness was indeed testimony to
the reality of that which is to come.
After hours unconscious. she revived
for few moments and called her hus-
band to the bedside, saying: "They came
for me last night, but my message to you
had not been given. | cannot be recon
ciled to leaye you until | know that you
are willing TO trust in my Saviour. Wont
you do lt?' Hers was a faithful, cOnse-
Grated service and all who knew her are
confident that her ears caught the
"Well done, thou good and faithful SER
want; thou hast been faithful over few
things. | will make thee ruler over many
things; enter thou into the Joy of thy
Lord. and now from her labors rests
in peace at home. The funeral took
place Sunday afternoon at her home, hel
pastor officiating. \ goodly number OF
her friends were present TO pay the last
tribute of earth.
"Thus star by star declines,
TIL all are passed away;
AS morning high and higher shines
To pure and perfect day;
Nor sink those stars in empty night,
They hide themselves in heavens own light

OBITUARY..
MRS. SARAH POWELL.

=
i Mrs. Sarah Powell, widow of the late
Henry Powell, died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs Mary j. Foote, on South
Main street in this village at 8 o'clock on
Sunday evening, November %, In the
S5th year of her age. Mrs. Powell had
been a resident of this town for more
than so years, during the last 40 of
which she was totally blind. In spite of
this atliiction, however, she was always
of a kindly and cheerful disposition and
up to the death of Mr.. Powell, in March,
1891, her home life was exceptionally
pleasant. Since that event she had
made her home with her daughter, and
although bed-ridden for many months
past, she retained her mental faculties
and cheerfuness almost to the end,
death coming at last quite suddenly and
as theresult of old age. She had the
best care that loving and tender hands
could give her, and her entering into
rest was very peaceful. Mrs. Powell was
the mother of eight children, four of
whom survive, namely: Mrs. Eliza A.
Foss of Manchester, n. H.; Mrs. Mary j.

Talents.

Action is necessity with per-
feet beings, and progression is a
law of God. In each human
life is planted some natural apt
ness. If it is intense, men call
it genius; if it appears in a lesser
degree, it is known as talent,
which, with energetic cultiva-
ton, often outstrips indolent
genius.
Our Unborn gifts should be
very dear to us-so dear that we
must not fold them away for
safety, thus proving ourselves
unworthy Of them, but bring
them out; let them see light Of
day, not the darkness of bushel.
Give them a chance; every adj
vantage of development. Work
for them with will, and if your
efforts are true and persistent,
your gift, whatever it may be,
will repay you thousand times.
1t will illuminate your ideas,
your influence and your life with
its brilliancy and make itself part
OF your own personality.

Tell me not, in accents mournlul,
Advertising doesn't pay;
For that saving is a chestnut,
Growing older every day,
And existant facts belle it,
For You'll sec, if YOU are wise,
That the only men who get there
Are the chaps who advertise.

The FISHERMAN & FARMER

pay for it, because they are get
