The funeral of Miss Sophia Fits was
held at her late home on Saturday, Rev. 5.
Norton officiating. The burial was in the
family lot at Willamsvile Miss Fits had
a remarkably clear memory, especially as
to dates. 1t should be remembered that
old people of her years belong to the his
tory of town, and where memory is vivid
with the aged it would be well for their
friends to take written note of many inter
esting details, which they can give in mat
tiers of old times. Miss Fitts's grandfather
Fits, who came to Vermont from Oxford,
Mass, was deacon of the Baptist church
in DummerstOn, of which town she was a
native. Her Grandfather Barnes at one
time owned the brass foundry in Brattle-
bOro. Not one of the many relatives of
old times is now living about here, except
Miss Ftts's sister, Mrs. Morse.

esting. His services were especially ap-
preciated by the management of the lecture
course and the public because they were
without price.

TOWNS aEND.
The Town NIeetIng.

Town meeting passed off quietly. The
list of officers is given elsewhere. c. Q.
Stebbins was elected commissioner for
Maple Grove, f. b. Batchelder for Oak
wood and l.. W. Page for Round Hill Gem
eteries. A tax of so cents on the dollar
was voted, aside from 20 cents road and 20
cents school tax required by law. A sum
not to exceed S25 was voted for Memorial
day. 1t was voted to pay town officers
$l.5O day for their time. The wood for
schools and showing of bridges was sold by
auction as usual. p. II. Rutter brought
the question of hotel before the meeting.
1t appeared that there is talk of forming
stock company for the purpose of erecting
hotel on some part of the burnt district
and the question is whether, if such com
pany should be formed, the town would
abate the tax for a term of five or 10 years.
Mr.. Ware, Mr.. Follett and others spoke of
the need of hotel and hoped such a prop
osition would be sustained 1t was sug-
gested that an informal rising vote be
taken. When this vote was called for by
Moderator Hastings, the question being on
abating the taxes on a hotel to be built
within the next II months, nearly all the
voters rose, showing themselves in favor of
it. OF course there is nothing binding in
this vote, but it proves there is still some
public enterprise in town. An adjourn
ment was then carried.
1t is hoped that a special town meeting
may be called in the near future and that
some definite arrangement may be made
relative to this matter.

sudden and unexpected death was a great
sorrow to them.
Hugh Adams, only son of Mrs. Adm

Monday of this week He was boy of
great promise and his sudden death is a
severe blow to his widowed mother and to
a large circle of relatives and friends. The
heartfelt sympathy of the community goes
out to the afflicted family.
Owing to the very unfavorable weather
Wednesday evening, the lecture by Rev.

largely attended, but those who were pres

dents and situations are frequent. The
specialties by II. b. Newton were very fine,
while Mr.. Rogan brought down the house
every time. The procee Is were S6250,

Hardly had we recorded the death of
the wife of Arthur Taylor of Somerville,
son of Rev. o. J. Taylor, when there
came news of the death of Rev. o. j. Tay-
lor himself. Mr.. Taylor was at his sons
in Somervile when, taking a sudden cold,
his heart trouble, from which he had suf-
fered so long, was aggravated, and his
death came on Wednesday last, Feb. "a.
Only meagre particulars have as yet been
received by his friends in Brookline. His
burial was at Ludlow, this state, his native
town, on Friday last. Rev. Mr.. Taylor
was the pastor of the Baptist church here

TRUMBULL.

MADE OF THE RIGHT KIND OF "STUFF."
The day of brave, manly effort on the
part of young men has not become a
thing of the past. The other day we
passed a field of corn where the stalks
were falling with more than common
rapidity at the hands of one we knew
must be working as a common laborer
for day wages. Feeling sure we knew
the form bent low among the stalks, we
shouted: ''Three cheers for Yale !"
Back from the rustling of the corn came
lusty inspiring shout: "Three cheers
for Yale!'' That young man with hard
earned money is expecting to graduate
from Yale next year, and to succeed
when he graduates. Who will doubt it
if he has his health? We once saw q
college man doing worse work than
that who is to-day D. D., pastor in
one of the largest churches Of his demon,
| nation. All honor and success to such
young men!
