death Claims a Shining Mark" j."

Wednesday morning about nine
o'clock Mrs. E. H. Nye went to the
room of her daughter, to awaken her,
and was Mortified to find Berdena cold
in death, having apparently died with
out struggle, her hand resting natur-
ally under the head, with no evidence
on the features of the least pain, and
appearing as if asleep. She had at
tended the ball at the Armory the
night previous, retiring about a. M,
and had seemed to be in the best of
health and spirits when her compan-
ions left her at the close of what had
been a most pleasant occasion.
Cora Berdena Nye was most amla-
bic and lovable young lady, and was a
universal favorite with both old and
young. Her acquaintance was large as
She had been a most faithful assistant
to her father in the store and expires SIS
office. She was the essence of good
ness. and seemed to entirely forget sell
in the ministration of kindly acts
towards her family and the community
with whom she came in contact. 1t is
no wonder that the news of her death
depressed beyond description our en-
tire people, and the expression OF SYM
pathy for the family in their poignant
grief is general and sincere.
The funeral will be held at the Con-
gregational church, Saturday afternoon
at 2 O'Clock. Rev. Mr.. Barnard will
of1iciate assisted by Rev. A. H. Webb.
Miss Nye was % years of age the
fourth of last July. This is the first
death in the family, covering mar
ried life of thirty-four years.

Memorial Preachers Home.

Tn 1898 the Methodist Episcopal
church in Bradford was organized, and
as tIis wear is the centennial year, the
members and friends of the church
wish to mark the time and celebrate the
event by erecting a Memorial Home
for our pastors.
Some of the friends who have gone
away from Bradford, but whose par
ents belonged to the church, are inter
ested and willing to help the enter
prise. Some substantial encourage
ment has already been received, and if
all who are interested in the church
and town will heIpa little the work can
easily be done.
We owe this expression of our love
and gratitude to the memory Of Mrs.
Pickett. the mother of the church,
(Who was for several years John Wes-
ley's housekeeper) to the twenty young
men who have gone out from the
church and entered the ministry to
the fathers and mothers who were de-
votedly attached to the church and
prayed and labored for its welfare.
Among the young men who became
Methodist preachers were some Of the
distinguished clergymen in the history
Of Methodism, notably: Rev. laban
Clark, one of the founders of Middle
town college, and Rev. Martin Ruter,
the first president of Allegheny col
lpge. AT The qua, terly conference last
week the pastor and parsonage COM
mittee were elected soliciting COM
mittee to raise the necessary funds for
the building.

Newspaper Change.

The transfer of the st. Johnsbury
Republican to a stock company with a
capital stock of $4,000 is an important
change in Vermont journalism which
will inure in our opinion to the great
advantage of the people of st. Johns
bury. Mr.. E. O. Leonard is a member
of the new company and will give his
personal attention to the enterprise.
We have a very favorable impression
of Mr.. Leonard as practical business
man, the record of the Bradford bank
is no criterian to judge him by from a
business standpoint. The Ely-Cop-
perfeid mIne was the main cause of
the banks collapse, and the loan was
made long before Mr.. Leonard was
made the banks treasurer. He la
bored incessantly to eXtricate the
Bradford bank from it's unfortunate
complications, but the hard times, and
the impatience of stockholders within
and depositors without was too great
an obstacle to overcome and the sus'
pension of the institution was the result t.
We are glad to be able to say that Mr..
LeOnards integrity was left intact
We are pleased that he has gone into
journalism, for the reason that he has
always shown a taste for newspaper
writing, probably on account of being
connected with the local paper at Ha-
verhill while student at the Acade-
my in his home village. He is an en-
ergetic young man, possessed OF large
amount of executive ability, and best
of all an ambition o make the most OF
himself possible. With a very large
acquaintance with leading financiers
of New England and New York, we
expect he will bring to the Republi-
can financial standing that it has not
had before, and with Mr.. Tha> er's eX-
perience to aid him we expect to see
the paper take a very prominent posi-
tion in Vermont affairs.

The beau tlful. rock walled island of
Mackinac is indeed an attractive and
restful place to the Summer tourist. To
those who have eyes for thu beautiful III
Nature it offers scenic panOramas that
are sublime: to those who seek health
aud Test, its pure atmosphere brings re-
litf from hay fever, gives one wonder
full appetite, and the cool hretZ5S from
the lake enable the visitor To enjoy the
sleep OF the innocent; those on pleasure
bent find amusement i'll riding and drlv
ing over The island, In dancing at the
Casino. in tennis, bowling, fishing, etc.
The most noted view on the island is the
famous arch Rock" which reminds
Kentuckians of our Natural Bridge, on
the K. U. road Sugar Loaf Rock" is
queer formation which towers sky
ward probably sixty feet, and Devils
Kitchen is water beaten place In a
huge bowlder which is probably kept
blackened by smoke for obvious reasons.
post by the Indians and French, In
! 1853. the island was christened will
English blood, the French having
melted the Indians to MASSAGE twenty
English soldiers. Fort Mackinac,
which is now an object of interest on
the island, was built by the British in
soldiers in 1896. 1t was taken by the
British in 1912, who also built Fit.
Holmes on the highest point on the
Island. An observation tower on Fit.
Holmes, 1876 feet above the lake, gives
the tourist magnificent view of the
island panorama. Other points of INFER
est on the island are Skull Cave"
Wishing Spring." Point Lookout"
"Robinson's Folly" Chimney Rock"
"Cupid's Pathway" and Lovers Leap"
No well regulated resort is complete
without Lovers Leap" Most of the
places are reached by a good climb up
the hills-fOr almost everything, includ-
ing hotel bills, horse and bicycle, livery,
bicycle skirts, bathing suits, souvenirs,
ETC., is high at Mackinac. At many
places on the island one meets Indians,
but they are so Americanized that the
casual observer does not detect their
nationality. There is an Indian village
on the Island, but the children Of the
forest have torsaken the wlgwam and
now live in frame houses.
