friends for their attendance and kind at
tention and for their maintaining such a
school for the education of the young peo-
pie. To the trustees he extended the thanks
of the class for the many kindnesses and
the attention which they had given the
school, and congratulated the people upon
the wise selection they made in choosing
the present board. To the teachers he
said that the class was grateful to them
for their guidance and control, and for the
manner in which they had borne with
the faults of the students. The class has
nothing but the kindl1est feelings towards
the faculty, but they could hardly find
| words to express their feelings towards
their principal whom they revere, and that
the best wish they can give to the classes
to come later is that they may have the
chance to graduate under him. Addressing
his classmates he said, cit is hard for us
to part-We who have shared each others
joys and sorrows" He advised his class
mates as they take up their positions in
life to keep in view their motto, "Labor is
Success" and if defeated at first, push on
and never stop until successful

Miss Alice Ordway, formerly of this
place, diedrat Greenfield, Mass, Tuesday
morning. Miss Ordway was on her way
to Vermont from Topeka, Kas., to visit
her brothers and sisters here. She left the
cars at Greenfield evidently ill. She went
at once to the Elm House where she was
taken with cholera morbus. When she
was left at night she seemed much better
and left instructions to be called for the
morning train north. In the morning she
was found dead in bed having died of
heart disease. The report in the Boston
papers that her death was due to an over
dose of choral is entirely unfounded. For
Is years she had been Librarian in the state |
library at Topeka, Kan, but owing to po-
litical changes she had lost her position
and was on her way here for a visit. Miss |
Ordway was woman of exceptionally |
noble character. She was kind to ALL win /
ming in her ways, graceful in her manner,
always ready to help those in need. She |
won large circle of friends in Topeka |
through her untiring labor for the public. |
She leaves six brothers and sisters who |
feel her loss very keenly: Mrs. HI. H. |
Twombly, Mr.. A. E. Ordway, Mr.. c. B.
Ordway, of Barton Landing; Mrs. Geo.
Bush of Boston, Mrs. Kitty Kellam of
