Mr.. and Mrs. Darling resided in this
town until within few years, and were
closely identified with many of its inter

as we'll as one looking we'll to the WAYS
OF her household" She will be gratefully
remembered in many homes for her kind
ly ministrations and aid in time of need
and suffering. Her children, and especially
her aged companion with whom she had
trodden ite's pathway for nearly three
score years, have the deep sympathy of
our people in their hour OF loneliness and
sorrow.

The first annual ball given by the Island
Pond Mercantile Club is now thing of
the past. 1t occurred last Monday even
ing in the opera house. The hall was
most beautifully and Hastily decorated
with pictures, portraits of prominent
citizens, bunting, plants, etc, not forget
ting the huge gilt Easter egg, while sus-
pended from the electrolicrs were cages of
singing birds, whose sweet music filled
the hall. The whole effect was very
pleasing. The concert given by Burn
expectations of everybody and fully justi-
fed all the pleasant things that have been
said OF this well equipped band of must
clans. 1t is an orchestra of which Berlin
may well be proud we here feel some
pride i'll that Messrs. Burnham & Barney
are two Island Pond boys. Mrs. {. ".
Ross in her whistling solos had no diff
Guilty in pleasing the large audience, who
not satisfied with hearing her twice in
sisted upon a recall, to which she very
courteously complied. Her entire per-
Torrance won universal praise. At $40
the grand march was formed, led BY J.
w. Thurston president of the Club and
wife, in which 40 couples participated.
This number of dancers was subsequently
increased by several couples and it is
estimated that in all 20 couples were on
the floor. Many of the costumes were
very fine, and added to the brilliancy of
the scene. Dancing was INDUCED in till
midnight to the best OF music. The order
of dances was prepared with Il view to
secure variety and to please all, and those
having this matter in charge succeeded
admirably. At midnight a splendid sup
per was served at the Stewart House to
over 60 couples. The efforts of mine
host Dyer and his wife in this direction
were much appreciated and compliment
ed. The dining room was nicely decor
ated for the occasion. After supper dane
ing was again resumed and kept up until
4, O'Clock. AS may be surmised it was
very happy occasion. The members of
the Club did all in their power to make
it such. The floor director and his aids
and the various committees dispensed
their duties in so admirable a manner
that there was no friction, no annoy
ance and no conspicuousness of effort.
Parties attending from out of town are
loud in their praise Of the pleasant time
had, all of which is very gratifying to
our people generally and to the Club
especially.

and many bright hopes perish with his
early death.
DEATH of Greasy Chandier--A Beautiful
young life closed.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs. E.
w. Chandler will grieve to learn of the
sad loss which has befallen them in the
death of their only child, who died of ty-
phoid fever Wednesday at 3 O'Clock.
Greasy Elwyn was born in Rockford Jan.
23, 1887 and during the ten years OF his
life not only endearcd himself to his i'm.
mediate family, but to all with whom he
came in contact. He was child of I'M
usual promise, bcautifulin person as we'll
as character. From his earliest years
Greasy has shown remarkable precoci-
ty. Hearing long poem read through
three or four times he would be able to
recite it with scarcely the mistake of a
single word.
Cressy had a disposition bright, sunny
and sweet, and the memory OF the years
which he spent on the earth will be a
precious one to those who have known
him. He was of deeply religious nature
From his earliest years he has loved to
study the Bible and during his last ILL
ness would repeat portions of it and re-
cite over the names Of the books. Often,
when he had retired early for the night
aud sleep had failed to come, he would
hear the family reading, and would call
to know it he might not join them at
their evenings devotions; on these occa-
sions he delighted to join with them in
the worship which closed the day. He
it was who always delighted to be able
to find the place in the Scriptures for the
morning family reading. He enjoyed his
Sunday school class and was greatly be-
loved by those who knew him. Both on
his own account and for his fathers and
mothers sake he has been greatly be.
loved in the First Congregational Church.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chandler have the deep
sympathy of many friends in their he.
reavement which is felt, not by them
alone, but by all who have had the
pleasure of knowing the little life which
has been transplanted from earth
