A shocking accident occurred near the

he was struck by No. 2 express train

notice was almost upon him, and lived
but a few minutes after being struck

were plainly heard in the village, and
attracted attention. Aninquest was held
the same day before Justice E. F. Hob
son, acting as coroner, who will trans
niit his finding to the county court. Fun
eral services were held last Sunday and
were largely attended by sympathizing
relatives and friends. Deceased was
about 40 years old, and leaves a widow
and six small children, the eldest OF whom
is only II years old. Much sympathy is
expressed for them in the terribly sad
and sudden affection that has bcfalen
then, which we hope will yet take prac.
tical form as the family is not overbur-
dened with this worlds goods.

Mr.. E. Z. Blake, Island Pond, Vt.
Dear Sir: People do not employ
painter whose work in the past has not
stood the test of time.
The best painter whoever lived cannot
do as lasting a job with lead and oil
mixed by hand as with F. W. Deyoe &
Co.'S Pure Lead and Zinc Paint, which is
composed only of pure lead, pure zinc,
pure linseed oil, pure tinting colors and
nothing else.
We assure you that there is a proms-
ing future for you if you begin now by
using our Paints. The jobs you do today
will last years and years-probably twice
as long as if you used Lead and Oilmixed
by hand. Your reputation will grow
better and better as these years go by.
We assert that our paints are really
better than lead and oil mixed by hand.
The linseed oil and the lead and zinc
which we use may not be any purer than
that which you use, but our preparing of
them is more thorough than that done
by hand for we first grind the ingredi-
ents together with powerful machinery
and then mix them thoroughly in power
ful mixers. The paint is then carefully
reground in stone mills and again re-
mixed. This insures a uniformity and
fneness, unattainable with a paint tub
and a stick. The uniformity and fitness
of paint is what produces durability.
Our paints are sold in Island Pond by
John W. Thurston who will sell them to
you at the right price.
Yours truly, F.W. DEvoE & Co.

Perhaps but few of our readers have
any idea of the enormous amount of
freight now being dispatched through
this port. Last Sunday one hundred
and fortv-six trains were moving on the
Island Pond division, &c west of here
and 20 east. The daily average number
of freight and passenger trains on this
division is 1875. The number first re-
corded means a train on the move for al
most every two miles between Island
Pond and Montreal and Island Pond and
Portland, the distance between the two
cities being 297 miles. Our train dis
patcfers certainly have no light task in
caring for SO many trains, running on a
single track, and thus far this season
they have been remarkably free from
errors.
