Obituary..


Arad Jenkins, oldest son of Lewis and
Eliza jenkins, W; S born in Fairlee April
%, 1880, and died in Bradford, Sept. 26,
1899. His life, until some years after he
arrived to manhood was spent on the
home farm with his parents, where he
early imbibed the habits of industry and
frugality which so characterized his after
life. His advantages for obtaining an
education were limited, as were those of
most farm-boys of those days, but his
natural ability helped to supply what he
did not receive from books.
He was married Sept. 1, 1850, to Har-
riet NJ. Evans of Bradford, who with two
daug ghterss, Mrs, A. W. Peters OF. Brad
! ford and Mrs Fl. q. Stevens of Lake
Placid, N. Y, and one son, Maitland A.
jenkins of Bradford, survive him. One
daughter died in infancy. Two brothers
and three sisters are still living.
Mr.. jenkins was man of an unusually
social and genial nature and possessed a
heart as tender and sympathetic as that
tracted to him large circle of friends
who mourn his departure and who will
miss his presence. He will be sadly miss
ed in his home and by his own dear ones,
for it was ever one in which Love reign
ed supreme, and whatever of happiness
or prosperity were there enjoyed was the
fruit of the union of similar natures,
his worthy companion always proving a
helpmete in an emphatic degree and
their children disposed to follow in the
footsteps of their parents.
Mr.. jenkins had for some fifty or more
years been member of Grace church,
having been converted about 6fIy-tliree
years ago under the labors of Rev. Moses
Spencer. Several are still living who
were either converted or who took
deep interest in the special religious
meetings held at that time, many of them
at the home of the venerable Rev. Joseph
Clark near the upper culvert on the
Lower Plain. He was interested in the
prosperity of the church and in that of
the community in which he lived, and
gave of his time and his means to pro-
mote the same, but in quiet and unas-
suming manner.
In worldly sense Fortune did not
always smile upon him and he was not
without some of the sad experiences of
life, but aside from the comfort and help
he received from the Source of all good,
and aside from filial love and encourage
ment he ever received from those who
had gone out from the parental home to
battle with life for themselves. there was
one who for nearly half century cheered
him on and with heart and hands helped
him over the rough and thorny places in
life's pathway. May she now and always,
in her sorrow and loneliness, receive that
sympathy and kindness that she so richly
merits. c.

Vermont's Heroes.

Spain once a name of wondrous power,
Pride, wealth and chivalry her boast; 4
| The glory of centuries her dover, Ffifs
Her army a mighty host. Az
Through years and ages, through tel Is&
strife, 4 2iN
Through waves of blood, woe tosse "a
| The cry of her people, for humanitie! RlA
| Have been in the centuries lost.
No fear had she of a power on high,
| As civilizations frown: ~
| From the Gem of the Antilles rose the ",
How long, oh, God, how long.
The power to oppress humanities line
To crush all joy life brings;
A right claimed she by gift divine,
Straight from the King OF Kings.
If Uncle Sam dared to arraign, @
his claim gift Of birth; u
ep sorsfsf 1ioSrsotf tiz,issnain, -
And also from the earth
Now where is all that armada,
of Spanish pride that morn,
When Dewey made it quail and wish
1t never had been born
Some found a grave beneath the waves
For the ocean hath its needs;
breeding place for barnacles,
And storage for its weeds.
In that Yankee navy so despised,
Under old Glory's crest,
Trophies of wars victorious prize,
There Spain will find the rest.
On our own bright galaxy of stars,
And the stripes which bind them fast
George Dewey and his gallant tars,
Have brilliant lustre cast.
And jealous sneering powers have learned
An object lesson true,
What Yankee valor backed by, skill,
And Yankee guns can do.
Vermont sent forth her Commodore
At the national honors call,
Soon hushed will be the cannon's roar,
And peace reign over all.
A leader in wars victorious van,
His duty nobly done,
The nation rises man for man.
To welcome its Admiral home.
Bradford place will surely claim,
In the annals of renown,
For Captain Clark of the Oregon,
Her own distinguished son.
Through all that long and perilous trip,
While the nation held its breath,
He brought our mighty battle ship,
Though lurking foes that watched to seize,
And send her down to death.
On Santiago waves proved he,
hero in that hour, -
Which gave its final deathly stroke, s1ss,s. -
To Spanish naval power. "a
'Tis dauntless heroes such aBhese,
AS loyal as they are brave,
Which make the staff so staunch and trjie.
From which Old Glory waves.
No questioning historic pen,
As the years Ioll on and on
Will pluck a leaf or dim the fame,
OF the heroes of Manila Bay,
And of the oregon.
Wiring all ye bells, We bands to front
Fly Old Glory from dome to dome,
Ye are needed all by old Vermont,
To welcome her heroes home,
