James Coils was a gunner of the
Slxty-sixth Royal British Artillery in
the Afghan var of 1880. During the
retreat from Maiwand the troops
toiled on through tie black night, the
Atghans continually charging upon
them. The gunners were frequently
obll9at u unlimber the guns and
stand 10 them, to check these furious
assaults, which they did az cooliy as
ii ct drill on Woolwich Common.
Many Of the guns had been turned
into temporary anbulances, and were
laden with wounded and dying men.
Coils had all day been carrying
water to the wounded through the
sharnest of the deadly firing, and
came Up to lis gun just as a Sharp fire
opened upon it from two sides. With
one glance he saw that unless this fire
could be diverted, there was not one
possibility Of saving the lives Of the
wounded men Coils was unwound-
cl, and, borrowing a rife, he deliber-
ately opened fire on the enemy, max
ing himself q target for their balls.
There ne stood until he fired thirty
five rounds, til bullets falling thick
and fast around him, but not a hair OF
his head was harmed. The tired
horses made all extra effort, the gun
~thundered out Of range. tho ranks
closed up, and the weary march went
on.

Windham County's Oldest Man.

Since the death of Gardiner Upham. who
died in Wiudham few weeks ago at the
ripe old age of 101, Hollis Nichols OF
Townshend is the oldest man in Wiudham
county If not in southern Vermont. Last
Friday on the farm which he now occupies
and on which he was born, Mr. Nichols
celebrated his 9Sth birthday. The house
in which Mr. Nichols lives is the oldest
frame house in the town, being built by
his father in 1905. Hollis received hi. ed
ucation in the old brick school house which
stood on the site of the present school
building. He did not go to school until he
was seven years old, and now recalls the
fact that the town then was at the height of
Its prosperity, there being at that time 1903
scholars in attendance. Since his school
days and the advent of railroads the town
has lost steadily in population, and changed
from one OF the largest of the county towns
to q small village.

DILLINGHAM; FOR CONGRESS.
Second District Rebellion.

Since the recent Withdrawal OF Judge
Read oil Bellows Falls from The congress
sional contest in the second district there
has been manifested good deal of feeling
in the north part OF that county regarding
his withdrawal. His friends take the
ground that Judge Read was forced to
withdraw very largely on account Of the
candidacy OF Mr.. Haskins. Bellows Falls
and the north portion OF Windham county
feel that Bcsttleboro has already had more
than her share of the offices and the north
part of the county sh ,uld now have
a chance. This ie ling has caused small
political rebellion in that section with
cors quent determination to defeat the
Brattleboro candidate.
In thus situation some of the workers in
that section have suggested, as the only
sure candidate with whom to defeat Mr..
Haskins, Hon. w. p. Dillingham;. 1t is
no doubt true that Mr.. Dillingham; would
be altogether the strongest candidate in
that district for the purposes OF the rebel
lious Wmdhamites. His candidacy would
at once settle the question. 1t would also
do one other good thing. It would settle
the senatorial question and would undoubt-
eddy be altogether the best solution OF the
present complicated Observation-Disclosures
