TO OUR PATRONS.

WE thank the people of Island Pond especially
those of our customers for their liberal patronage
of last year On Sept. 10, '9S when we adopted the
cash system for doing business it was a radical
change which some people called foolish expert
ment. Three and one-half months trial proves to
and customers that it is the only wise system
to transact business under. 1t enables us to take
advantage of all discounts in market, to pay the
farmer cash orhs produce and to sell cheaper than
competitors A long list of items bought at
credit prices by each member of the family perhaps
and presented after 4 month or two's run is not a
soothing cordialfor the one who has to pay. Under
our system which is absolutely the best and with
putting forth the latest ideas for the trade we are
confident that this year will mean prosperity to
both customers and ourselves.....

DIR. JOHN II. LINEIAS,

From out our midst has passed the
clan and true friend to all. The death
of DR.. John H. Linehan will be most
keenly felt by all who had the honor OF
his friendship and skill. Possessed with
remarkable abilities, combined with cul-
ture and refinement, he was universally
admired, respected and beloved. Though
but 80 years of age he had filed many
positions OF importance and trust, and
had won for himself the confidence of
everybody. AS a physician OF ability it
would be difficult to find his equal. After
graduating from the University of YER
mont with high honors he soon became
very popular i'll politics and was Il
stanch supporter OF democracy. Fearless
and Just in all his doings, kind, lovablc
and gentle, he rapidly gained prominence
and fame. But the late DR.. Linehan will
he remembered more for his noble mind
and sterling character. His life was pure
and spotless, devoted entirely to doing
good. His deeds of charity and grace
among the poor are almost numberless
and he was ever willing to betriend the
needy and oppressed. But now, alas.
that prince of humanity has been called
away. That mellow voice is hushed in
the silent grave, those clear and thought
full eyes are dimmcd by the shadow of
death the gentle pressure OF his hand
we feel no longer, nor are we permitted
to have his counsel and advice. Over
the river his soul has passed and he now
lies with the just that have gone before.
IT'S hard to realize that our beloved
friend has been taken from us, but be
hind him he has left splendid example
and sacred heritage which will be
guar ed and kept by all who knew him
till they meet him in that other country
where severed friendships are knitted up
and partings are no more.
IN VICTORIAN.
Peace be to thy soul dear brother.
Called to its eternal rest
Gathered to the saints in glory,
Numbered with our Fathers blcSt.
As He gave, such He taketh,
And He claims you for His own.
And for you a place is granted
BY the Holy Great White Throne
And the Lord who took thy spirit
To His mansions in the sky
Will sustain the dear bereaved ones.
He will dry the mourner's eye.
For we know that now dear brother
You are free from care and pain,
And upon the floor of Heaven
We shall meet you, yet again.
For the path that you have trodden
Is Il path we all must tread
| Ere we join the heavenly army
With our Saviour at it's head.
! He our guide, our hope, our fortress.
He the son Of Mary's womb,
Points the road to realms ethereal
Lights the darkness of the tomb.
! But with fai hful resignation
You obeyed the Masters call,
And, our brother now you're sleeping
That long, final sleep of all.
Heavens gates were opened to you.
Through their portals you have passed,
And we know our own dear brother
We shall meet at last, at last
