MRS WILSON 2. STURGES.
Again this village has been visited
by death and Mrs Frances Sturges,
wife of Wilson p. Sturges, passed away.
She had been a life resident of this
place being a daughter Of DR. Hubbard,
once a prominent physician of this
place. She was SO years Of age and
leaves husband, one son, Wilson H.,
and three daughters, Della, the eldest,
wife Of ROLAND Willard, and Cassie
and Oracle Sturges. In former years
she was 'organist Of the Methodist
church here for quite a period of years.
Later in life a growing family and
poor health confined her to her more
immediate home circle. The words of
the text are very applicable as 'she
had done what she could" The fun
eral was held at her home, the 10Th,
at o'clock, Rev John Nash ot1iclat-
ing. The words chosen for the re-
marks were ''She hath done what she
could.' The choir sang Never
Alone" and "Jesus While Our Hearts
are Bleeding" Among those present
we're Edward Hubbard of Yonkers, n.
Y, a brother of Mrs Sturges, also a
sister-in-law, Mrs Mary Sfurges, wife
OF John Sturges of Bridgeport. The
interment was in the Calhoun ceme-
terry.
V. c. Beers and wife are both'report-
better.
Everett & Dunbar have been filling
the icehouSe in connection with the

teams for the purpose.

THE VILLAGE AND VICINITY.

THE VILLAGE AND VICINITY.
Grip still clings to his old custom of
making regular calls upon the families
of this village. Among the ones visit
ed are Mrs r. w. Dean, who is now
able to be out.
William Oviatt is now entertaining
it and last Saturday night it fastened
upon Dr. Ives. The doctor has done
some hustling the past week, fighting
grip for other people and himself, and
to wind up he fought fire, though
hardly able, till, as some one remark
ed afterwards E'He looked like fiend
from Hades, he was 50 red" Well, the
climate when Ives fought that night,
your correspondent should judge, was
very suggestive of those regions. But
the doctor pulled through all right
and,has been in harness ever since.
a. Oviatt is dangerously i'll.
Frank Dewkett was taken suddenly,
Tuesday morning, with an attack OF
blood poisoning, but the disease has
been checked so at this writing he is
more comfortable.
Attorney J. L. Nickerson, r. r.
Dawson and L. a. Williamson were
delegates to the grand lodge meeting
of the f. & A. NJ, held in New Haven
this week. Williamson, however
could not attend as he has not as vet
been able to secure shoe with capac
ity to contain his sore foot. He car
step on the foot now but prefers as q
means of navigation a sled with some
small boys at one end.

The Eminent kidney
and Bladder Specialist.

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia. heart failure
or apopexy are often the result of kidney
disease If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.
Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the new dis
covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder
and urinary troubles. 1t has cured thousands
of apparently hopeless cases, after all other
efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent
and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free
by mail, also book telling about Swamp
Root and its wonderful cures. Address

A TRIBUTE TO REV AUSTIN ISIIAM.

TRIBUTE TO REV AUSTIN ISIIAM.
All who had known, here, in former
years, Rev Austin Isham, were sadden-
ed last Saturday to hear of his death
at his home in Roxbury. Your cores
pOndent remembers him most kindly
from childhood's years. His pleasant
voice could not be forgotten and his
smooth and genial temperament en-
deared him to every one during his
long paStorates near US. Especially
was he known in the house of atf1ictiOn
and death. No minister in this section
was more often called to otticiate at
funerals than he during all of the years
Of his ministry and wherever called,
he proved most sincere CONSIDER and
sympathizer. His words were always
APPLY spoken. His appearance always
betOkened interest and sincerity and
he was ever in daily walk an appar-
emit respecter of persons 50 far as his
charities and gifts of mercy and help
fulness could be bestowed. The writer
doubts If this county will ever know
again man of such wonderful adap-
liability for the position and duties in
which he seemed naturally to be placed
in his profession, and his many, many
friends mourn that the long life OF
service and benefaction is ended. The
same expression could well have beer
used at his grave on Monday at RoX
bury as the writer heard him use here
a few years ago by an open grave
where he had been leaving the form
of beloved doctor: ''Oh! How We
shall miss you, How we shall mis-!
you"

ways to hope than once to despair.
So here l sit with pen TN hand
My duty trying to do.
And may Jehovah guide my pen,
And all the wrong subdue,
And may my pen be like the rod
That sets Gods people free,
When Pharaoh and all his hosts
Sank in the deep Red Sea.
Oh that Jehovah would arise
This very, very hour,
And make the rich bond holder beg
BY His Almighty power,
Until they have some mercy on
The faithful and the poor,
Who know just what it means to SEQ
A sheriff at their door.
For this is what large taxes mean
To farmers mortgage-bound,
Who have to pay bond-holders tax.
Then by the rich be ground,
AS Pharaoh did the Israelites
When brick was on his brain,
Until the first-born OF the land
Was by an angel slain.
But 1 must now lay down my pen
And work with all my might,
And may the Holy Spirit guide
And teach me what is right.
For do want to know Gods will
And do it every day.
The devil says that might makes right.
While love is Gods best rule,
And it is in our choice to be
A wise man or a fool.
And had rather in Gods sight
BE wise though verJ poor
Than be a fool before my God
And all the world secure.-[J Justice.

King Edwards Tribute to His Popular
Wife-Aiexander's influence.

New York, Feb. ia dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The king and queen WILL remain N
London until the end of the week,
when they vii. again spend Sunday IN
the country. either at Windsor or San
dringham. London has become once
more the chief social residence, with
the sovereign close at hand where his
ministers can consult with him this
week. Weekly visits are in order for
Windsor.
The transition means much to the
tradesmen of the west End, for they
perceive in it promise of potency for
a long and prosperous season. The
king has settled down to his work and
is thoroughly interested in it. Those
who know him well assert that the
business of state will not be neglected
by him, and that it viii tend to length
en- rather than shorten his life. Queen
Alexandra was greatly depressed
when the reign opened, and was not
disposed to take part in state fune-
tons, but the king has insisted upon
making her a prominent figure at
Westminster and has even created 4
precedent for equality of rank and dis
tinction when the college heralds rails
ed objections. The queens interest IN
affairs of state has been stimulated
and the king is making full use OF her
popularity as his strongest resource.
