Letter to Il. Dennis.
Stafford Springs, Conn.

Dear Sir: You understand grinding
wheat, buckwheat, rye, oats and corn.
We understand grinding whitehead and
white zinc. The two sorts of grinding are
not much alike. Very likely oats and
wheat behave very differently In the mill,
and you manage them differently-we
know very little about your work don't
need to; we'd rather depend on you.
But we paint your house and mill, and
out buildings; perhaps you'd be glad to
know about grinding paint; for some
people mix their paint with stick In a
tub.
We use lead and zinc-nothing else.
And our zinc Is as tough as your oats.
Tub mixers imagine they mix it. They
don't; they can't Takes grinding to mix
lead and Zinc.
They are both white. Tub-mixers don't
know 1t; but tub-mixed lead and zinc Is a
streak of one alongside of streak of the
other.
We grind as you grind; and our paint
Is lead and zinc ground together, mixed
intimately: 1t is neither lead nor zinc, but
lead and zinc: the lead Is lost, and the
zinc is lost : each lost In the other: both
lost In the mixture. Lead chalks and
zinc peels: lead and zinc ground together
hang on and protect each other.
We take care of your mill outside you
take care OF 1t inside.
Yours truly,
90 +. w. DEvoR Il Co.

occasion. The primary department

These little folks sang with unusual
harmony of voice, and the singing of

Capt. Augustus Scout.

The Death of this well-known man,
which was not unexpected, occurred
on Saturday morning last at the resi-
dence of his son, Clement V. Scout,
three and half miles down the State
road. 1t was the result of advancing
years, though the captain maintained a
youthful demeanor to the last and was
as ready and as sharp in wit and repar-
tee when his friends would ply him
with a joke, as in his younger days.
He was a matter of fact man when ap-
preached that way, but when they came
to him differently, he had a rare tact
in answering good naturedly "fool
according to his folly" In other
words he was "a character class
that in later years seem to have greatly
diminished in numbers.
His early years of manhood were
spent in a rowing life, mostly at sea,
and stories of his adventures were al
ways interesting. After that he mar
ried Miss Temperance Benn and settled
down at the nursery and fruit growing
business at Smyrna Landing, and was
a success. After his wife died, some
twelve years ago, he turned his property
over to his children and made his
home mainly with his son.
In church matters there was marked
difference between him and his wife.
She was a woman of strong faith and
religious purpose that would not be
swerved by ridicule from the right, as
she saw it, He took no interest in re-
ligious things, and it is said he was
never in the Chapel that was built neal
his residence under the ministry OF
Rev. w. H. Brisbane, forty years ago
until the past few years. The death o

Since our last issue, the Angel of
Death has made visits to the homes of
three well known persons.
J. Wesley Denney.
There was considerable surprise on
Friday morning at the announcement
that J. Wesley Denney had died the
night before. He was apparently in
the prime of life, in his 61st year, and
many people did not know he was ser
iously ill. The disease that thus proved
so fatal was rheumatism, that went
from the chest to the brain, carrying
him off speedily.
The death of Mr.. Denney is a matter
of regret not only as a citizen, but as
member of the church and in the Town
Council. He was a trustee of the for
mer and commissioner of the latter, a
position which he had held several
times during his business life, to say
nothing of other places of trust. He
was a son of Robert Denney, who died
nearly sixty years ago.
Deceased married in early life Miss
Mary Deakyne, of ThOrc ughfare Neck,
and went to farming on the farm that
had come down to him from his ances-
tors, situated four miles down the
State road, the large brick dwelling
on it being built by his grandfather,
a year before the Revolutionary Wal
commenced -1774. He however did
not like farming, and after two or three
years, he moved to town and entered il
the drug business, building nearly
thirty years ago, the substantial bricl
building that has since been occupied
as his dwelling and drug store. He
retired from active business eight year
ago, VIM. F. Dunn being his bust
ness successor.
Mr.. Denney became member of tn
Methodist church during the big re
vival of Rev. Enoch Stubbs i'll 1876
His conversion was not only an assen
of the mind, but one of those radica
changes that put him to work, and i
testimony and prayer meetings, b
was ever at the service of the pastor
His funeral took place Monday after
noon, conducted by Rev. G. A. Hill
The prayer was made by Rev. L. W
Layfeld, who with Revs. Hill an
Corkran, made addresses, the SCRIP
lures being read by Revs. J. L. Estli
and Henry Thomas. The intermer
was in Glenwood cemetery. His mai
ried life was a very happy one, his vii
, surviving him.
