MRS. MARTHA CRosSETT-DEAD.

MRS. MARTHA CROSSETT- DEAD.
 Man s knowledge may almo st reach the limit when the human gives place to the infinite, but man in all his power cannot stay the hand of death; is unable to intercept the march of the ruthless invader and fell desroy- CT of homes. ''The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave; await alike the inevitable hour, the paths of glory lead but to the grave. On last Tues day evening at 7:20 p. m., Mrs. Martha Crossett, wife of E. J. Crossett, passed from the labors and troubles of this life to the joys of that life elysian, where God s own hand wipes away all tears.
 Mrs. CrOSSett was native of Tennessee where she was born in 1858. For about 40 years she has lived in Arkansas, living for quite a number of years near DeView. She moved from DeView to McCrory about F years since. Mrs. Crossett was the daughter of Dr. M. and Mrs Parthenia McMurtry. In 1870 she was united with E. J. Cros- sett, from which union were born four children, two of whom sur vive her.
 All that is now left of Mrs. Crossett is a sweet memory and an example of true womanly con duct, worthy of invitation. She was true to her friends and her God, what more fitting monu ment can be reared to her mem ory than this-a woman of character, commanding the re spect and admiration of all who knew her. She numbered her friends by the number of her ac- quaintances, and they were legion. Her kind heart always went out in sympathy to all who were afflicted and in distress,
Woodruff County news., 1901-07-11

The funeral services took place at the Odd Fellows cemetery, at DeView, at 3 o'clock p. m., July 10, 1901. the services being con ducted by Rev, $. l.. Cochran, who paid a beautiful tribute to Mrs. Crossett's pure, upright life. The obsequis were attend
 by a large concourse of friends.
 The News joins the many friends of the bereaved in ex- pressing their profoundest sym : pathies to them in this sad hour.

 A Russian chemist is respon- sible, according ito scientific Journal, for an easy and not dis agreeable way to get rid of mice. This is by the use of oil of pep perment. Wads of cotton satu- rated with the oil are used to plug up the holes by which they appear, a process that will at once drive the vermin away, their dislike to the smell of the pepperment being strong. If they should return later repeti- .tiap of the treatment wtll banish them again.

At the Court House.

The final adjournment OF the December
term OF County Court occurred Monday.
The Slayton divorce case was resumed
Thursday and was finished Saturday at
noon. This case was a double suit, both
parties petitioning for divorce. Both
petitions were dismissed by Judge Stat
ford, who said that while there was
cause for divorce proven in both cases,
the general circumstances prevented the
granting of either petition. A sentence
of not less than two and not more than
four years in the state prison was i'm
posed on Herbert French convicted of
adultery.
On Wednesday Harry S. Jeff)rds, and
Harry Z Cleveland of Lyndonville
plead guilty to the charge of grand
larceny, and were sentenced to the
House of Correction for term of not
less than three, an not more than FIVE
years. Divorces were granted in the
cases OF Georgiana Finn Wiley v.
Edward F. Wiley, for intolerable sever
ity; petition to resume her maiden
name In the divorce case of Ethel L.
Smith v Nathaniel |. Smith, petition
was granted and petitioner given right
TO resume her maiden name Ethel
l. Burroughs. Clara Lizotte OF st.
Johnsbury was granted a divorce,
a mensa ct thoro, with a weekly
alimony of SO 90 from Frank Lizotte.
This kind of divorce is rather a separa-
ton OF the parties by law than d ssolu-
ton Of the marriage. These conditions
hold good until changed by the court.
This case is particularly interesting be-
cause it is the first OF the kind to be
granted in Caledonia county. Up to
1896 the laws OF Vermont granted only
absolute divorce, but by an act of that
year the legal separation was legalized.
The unusually large number OF cases
were continued, and during the term
only nine were tried by Jury,
