this town, died suddenly at his resi-
dence, on East Fourth Street, last
Sunday morning at half past nine
from an apoplectic stroke. his health
has been feeble for some years past,
but when his daughter, Dora, left
home at about 1890 to attend early
service at the Episcopal Church, he
was apparently feeling quite well.
Soon alter her return, however, he
complained of distress in the abdomen,
and she gave him some medicine
which seemed to relieve him, and,
believing him better she went up
stairs to attend to some household
duties. He called 10 her to come
down, and she found him on the
couch, and very shortly he became
unconscious, and though medical aid
was summoned, il was of no avail.

living person. He was member of
the vestry for many years, and was
always faithful and devoted official

request, after his health failed, and

active service. After that he was
employed as a clerk in the store OF

pansion through Reciprocity. Mr.. o.
borne gives brief historical resume of
the question and expresses strong con-
viction that our present mercantile ex-

RIGHT UP TO DATE.
Bsnson's Plaster Is Pains Mastsr)

These are days of records and of the beat
ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
quickness of action and thoroughness of
cure, has no records to beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than e0er. It
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. 1t marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured quichly-and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists land thousand times as many nom
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one of the few % home remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-fve highest awards have been made
to it in competition with the best known
plasters of Europe and America. Better
proof of its merits is inconceivable. Be
sure to get the genuine.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States, on receipt of Csc. each.
