Electric Lights at Phenix Out Again
Gossip From III; Villages.

last evening"
Miss NV. Snow is the guest of her sister
Mrs. X. w. Is. knight at Auburn.
The Centervilie Epworth League held
its annual meeting at the residence of X.
B. Treat last evening. The annual elec.
tion Of officers was held and X. b. Treat
was chosen president, 7. W. ID. Clarke
vice president, Miss Maud s. Duke secre-
tary and Miss Grace Hammond secretary.
The electric lights at Phenix were not
burning last evening and the residents
Of the north branch of the Pawtuxet Val
ley were obliged TO grope their way
through the streets, the lights being con-
spicuous by their absence. The tax
payers were not by any means pleased
and pedestrians snstbematized the eiec-
trio light company for it's failure to ful-
Ill its contract with the fire district. The
lights were finally turned on about half
past nine aud those who had not sough ht
their beds before then were greatly sur
prised at the unusual illumination of the
streets. The tax layers of the River
Point fire district are also inquiring the
reason for their lights not burning on
account Of q break down or "short cir
cult" in the Phenix district but they
are as yet like the residents of Phenix In
the dark az to the cause. At one time,
before the change in the lines, the River
Point and PheDix circuits were entirely
separate but under the present arrange
meDt all Of that portion of the River
Point district north OF the Clyde bridge
is obliged to suffer for the sins or break
downs Of the Phenix circuit.

The Story Of
Puritana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, NJ. D., IL. D..
who for thirty-two years was at tho
head of Dartmouth Medical College,
belonged 10 tho famous Crosby family
OF physicians, which for several gener-
atoms has furnished more distin-
guished medical men than any other
family in America. His father was
DR.. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who
procured the charter of the State
medical society, of which he was for
thirty years conspicuous member;
one brother, DR.. Josiah Crosby, in
vented tho invalid bed and tho method
OF making extensions Of fractured
limbs by adhesive strips; another
brother, DR.. Thos. II. Crosby, was
chief surgeon in Columbian College
Hospital during the war, and later
professor Of animal and vegetable
physiology ut Dartmouth College;
while DR.. Dixi Crosby himself was
the inventor and discoyercr OF various
important improvements in medicine
and surgery, including q new and
unique modo of reducing motacarpo-
phalangeal dislocation, opening of abb
scess at hip-joint, ETC., etc.
AT the early age of twenty-four his
extraordinary skill and success In over.
coming disease had already attracted
the attention of medical men through.
cut tho world, and won for him tho
highest honorS. His Greatest achieve
mept was tho discovery of an original
method for perfecting and compound
ing in permanent form what has be.
come known as his "prize formula"
and which, under the name OF Puri-
tana, is legally protected.
Tho foundation OF this remarkable
medical discovery consists of simple
New England roots and herbs, and the
original family recipe for it has de-
scendcd 10 tie long line Of Crosby
physicians from their Puritan ances-
tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost
tion rendered it necessary to brew Il
whenever needed in the early days of
its history, and after tho scattering of
the Puritan families to remote locali-
ties, whero the necessary Ingredients
were not to be found, many attempts
were made to put it up in permanent
form, all OF which failed until DR.. Dixi
Crosby discovered means and methods,
the result OF which is: Natures Cure
compounded in the laboratory OF
Common Sense.
