HINSDALE, N. H.
Sunday school Rally.

The audience room was we'll filed at the
Congregational church Sunday morning.
A short address was given by the pastor
appropriate to the occasion, it being the
Sunday school rally. The church was
very beautifully decorated with cut flowers
Especially noticeable was the gorgeous
bank of dahlas in front of the pulpit
Much interest was manifested by all con-
nected with the school. The exercises
consisted of special music, responsive read
ing, Rotations, etc. One hundred and
siXty-four members of the school were
present, also good number of visitors
IL Is hoped that greater interest and more
constant attendance will have been stmu-
lated, and lasting good be the result of the
service.
In the evening the Christian Endeavor
society held meeting in the interests of
good citizenship. In consequence of the
thunder shower only a small audience was
in attendance. The young peoples socie-
ties from the other churches had been in
vited, and Rev. II. K. Parker of the Meth
odist church assisted in the services. The
meeting opened by few words from the
pastor followed by invocation by the presi-
dent of the society. The papers by Mrs.
Dix on the "Industrial and Social Prob
lem" and by Mrs. Renshaw on "All law
breaking criminal and disgraceful," were
of an intensely interesting character. A
very practical talk on "Primaries and Elec-
tions" was given by Mr.. Jewell. A solo
by Miss Leach, duet by Misses Leach and
Stearns, and reading by Miss Lyman, were
much enjoyed. Several other papers had
been prepared, but for the lack of time
they were omitted, with the hope of another
meeting on the same subject in the near
future

DOCTOR
J. Fraser BarbriCk
BOstOn's Most Successful Blood and
Nerve Specialist Will be at the Brooks
House Tuesday, Oct. ).

Dr. Barbrick visits Bratteboro at regular inter-
walls for the purpose of personally attending TO
the immense practice he has succeeded in build
ing up in this vicinity during the time he has
been coming here, and if you are sick afflicted
you should consult him at his office at the Brooks
House and avoid the expense and loss of time
a visit to his Boston office would necessitate.
The following offer is made to all who call on
him during this visit. That No Fee viii be charged
or received for consultation, examination, advice
or services until the patient pronounces him or
herself cured the only charge made now being
for medicines, the doctors fee being collected at
the end of the treatment, when the patient has
been cured.
DR.. Barbrick has adopted this planlfor two rea-
sons. First, to show the confidence he himself
has in his methods of treatment and ability to
cure. Second, to prove that he can and does cure
even after others fail, The remarkable cures he
has made in this place have given him a reputa-
! tion that can almost be vouched for by your next
| door neighbour but If you still have doubts the
above offer should dispel them. Skill is gained by
experience; confidence is born of success.
DR.. Barbrick has had an unlimited experience
and his universal success has given him an almost
sublime confidence as is evinced by his wonderful
offer TO and his honorable dealings with the sick
people,
He treats all diseases that affiict the human
diseases he treats successfully: Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Bronchitis, Catarrh Deafness
Coughs, Gravel, Dropsy, Piles, Paralysis, Rheu.
matism, Tumors, Cancers, FIstula, Kidney Dis
eases, Fever Sores, Diarrhoea Asthma, Erysipe-
las, Heart Diseases, Scrofula, Blood and Skin Dis
eases of all kinds, and all diseases and weaknesses
of both sexes. The rapdity with which he de-
scribes all diseases is truly wonderful and aston,
ishes all who call upon him, and he frankly tells
all whether or not they can be cured.
His extensive practical experience enables him
to determine almost at glance whether a case Is
durable, or whether it is incurable. His methods
OF specially studying each case and preparing
and applying his remedies to meet each individual
requirement, makes his mode Of treatment al
once scientific, quick in its action and positive il
its results. If you are sick this is your opportun
ity to be cured No matter what the disease you
are suffering from or of how long duration, you
should call on,hm II willicost you nothing anC
you may profit by it. a.

Deacon David Cushing's Long Career as
StOrekeeper.

StOrekeeper.
The Boston Globe of last Monday con-
tanned an interesting two column illus
trated article on the life of Deacon David
F. Gushing, who has conducted a general
country store in this village for "a years.
Mr.. Gushing was born in Newfane Oct.
"a, 1914, and at the age of 10 he left the
paternal roof and found employment at
West Midway, Mass, where he served an
apprenticeship of five years under his
brother, a tailor. He then travelled through
Southern New England five years, selling
dry goods. His next venture was in a
country store at West Midway, which he
ran for two years. Mr.. Gushing then re-
turned to his native state and bought the
store in the old White building, where
business has been carried on 70 years.
This building is one of the landmarks of
Windham county and is near the boun-
dairy of the three towns of Rockingham,
Grafton and Athens. Mr. Gushing made
trips TO Boston by stage regularly for IA
years to buy goods, and he relates many
stories of former prices. During the Civil
war flour sold at $50 barrel, pork $50 a
barrel, brown sugar at % cents pound
and granulated sugar at 80 cents pound.
Mr.. Gushing has been behind the counter
of the store regularly during the "a years,
with the exception of about month dur
ing last winter. He is respected by every
body on account of his integrity and up
rightness. His wife, who was Mary Ad-
ans of West Midway, is still spared to as
sist him after So years of welded happi-
ness. The post-office has been in Mr..
Cushings store the past 80 years and his
son, Scion p, is the present postmaster
and is associated with his father in bust
ness. His other children are A. A. Cush-
ing, who runs the freight business between
Cambridgeport and Bellows Falls; Mary
who lives at home, and David F., jr., who
lives in Boston.

CURRENT MISCELLANY.

Not only are paper sails now pro-
duccd at Il lower cost than those of can
vas, but owing to special treatment
they arc said to be rs soft, flexible and
untearablc as those of which they are
proposed 20 take the place. To the paper
pulp used i'll this case, says The Rail
way Review, there are added fat, "a solu-
tion of alkali silicatc, glue, alum and
potassium bichromate, and from this,
by means Of "a paper making machine,
fairly thick paper is produced. Two
strips OF this are pasted together. By
passing these under considerable pres
sure through rollers very thin and soft
sheet of paper is formed. This is passed
through weak solution of sulphuric
ACID, which has the effect of converting
the upper surface into Il species of parch-
ment, washing with q solution of soda
drying and glazing following. Care is
taken TO leave the edges free when the
strips are fastened together so that other
strips may be added at the sides, thus
forming sufficient breath of sails. To
fasten tho strips together paste is used
winch contains the samo ingredients as
those added to the paper pulp, whilo
by inserting cords on tho sides the edg
ing of the sail is formed. Unfortunately
no account is vouchsafcd of the practical
working of such sails" when utilized
