Wheeler above states, mas done much
towards the comfort Of the sick. The
rooms are situated in the basement of
the library building, the use Of which
IS at the disposal Of every citizen in
Spencer. DR.. Whesiar is much inter-
ested in this work. and much credit is
due him for the high standing in which
it now is.
Almost every article necessary for
the comfort of a sick person is in the
rooms, and can be secured free OF
charge by the simple asking for them.
\. c. Hill, panitor of the Library build

BY the death of Thomas J. Comins,
president Of the Spencer Farmers and
Mechanics Association, it has required
Dhe trustees of the association to elect
new president. There are twenty trus-
tees of the association, eight of whom
were present at the meeting. The first
business to be transacted was the cleo
ton of new president z. Harris How
land of Spencer seemed to be the IA
yorite for the office. and received an
unanimous vote of the trustees present.
Mr.. Rowland up to his election of
president filled the office of vice presi-
dent, and thus is perfectly qualified to
fulfill the duties of his new office. A
committee composed of Secretary Her
bert H. Capen, E. H. and E. A. Har-
wood was chosen to draft suitable reso-
buttons on the death of the late presi-
dent. The resignation Of Henry P. How
land, member of the executive COM
mittee, was also accepted, and Austin
G. Putnam of Spencer was chosen to
succeed him.
After accepting the resignation of
MI Rowland the meeting was then ad-

Mr.. Calvin is as highly a respected and
industrious young man as there is in
town. His 2b years record in the en-
| pIoy OF the company during which time
he has never met with an accident
shows without explanation his ability

discharge philosophically.

world. Your nothers and grandmothers

failure, etc They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation Of undigested food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action Of the system, and
that IL all they took when feeling duI
and bad with headaches and other aches.
