was cultured, able, manly man, a
cordial, frank, unaffected Christian
gentleman. His ideals were high, his
convictions strong and sincere. BY
nature he was free from littleness
and pretence, was big hearted, chival.
rous, genuine. His personal presence
was always agreeable. and it was in
full flower of charm with children and
in his home. His work in the pulpit
was characterized by an earnest and
sincere desire so to present the truth
as to convince the head, appeal to the
heart, and influence the life of his
hearers"

WILL BUILD THE DAM
1000 to 1900 Horse Power Will
Be Developed on West River.
Project Will be Pushed to Completion
the Coming Season by Brattleboro
Casiuht Company.

An important development, with far
reaching possibilities to manufactur-
ing interests through providing am
pie electric power at low cost was
decided upon at the annual meeting Of
the Brattleboro Gaslight company
held at the Brooks House Monday
evening, when it was voted to increase
the etock Of the concern to an amount
not exceeding 100000 and to issue
bonds for the purpose OF building a
dam on West river at West Dunn
mcrstun. The amount both for the
increase in capital stock and for the
issue of bonds. is left discretionary
with the directors Of the company.
This project has been considered
carefully. and several careful sur
vcys have been made, and the success
of the undertaking in every way is as
sured. The directors purpose to
have the work pushed as rapidly as
possible the coming season, and 1t Is
expected that power developed at the

Three thorough surveys. made in each
case when the water in West river
was at low pitch. both in summer and

height will deliver at the station in
Brattlcboro p hours a day and u
months in the year. not less than 700
horsepower. after deductinS all per

ton of the year. at least nine months,
1000 to 1900 horse power can he de-
pendcd upon. The electric light plant
now uses at certain times of the day
400 horse power. 1t Will be seen that
large amount of power will be avail
able for manufacturing purposes. Ihs

in fact. that II will be an inducement
for manufacturing concerns to come

With a team crippled by the absence

the Y. VI. G. \. basket ball boys went
to SaXtons River Monday afternoon,
and took the V. \. team into camp by
the score of II to !. The game was
fast and hard throughout, and every
basket from the field was earned only
after the hardest kind of playing,
BrattleborO winning by her superior
knowledge of the game. V. AS team
work was brilliant and fast at times,
but only once resulted in a score, be
cause of Brattleboro's strong hard
blocking. which was almost invulner-
able Perhaps Ferriter played the
best game for our boys. but his four
team mates were so close to him that
all deserve equal mention. The scor-
ing started by Moore of V. \. throwing
a goal from foul soon followed by
another goal from the same cause,
then Brattleboro rallied after quick
passes by Ferritcr and Cundiff,
Langille Gagged a pretty goal from the
field. which was soon followed by
field goal by Monroe, and also another
from foul by the same person, while
Stafford Gagged the bali for BrattleborO
and Monroe scored one from foul. The
half ended &c in favor of Y. NJ. c. A.

A VERY OLD WOMAN.

She Claims She Was Born June 25, 1773. X In the vicinity of the little town of Fair View, in Carroll county, Ark, lives perhaps the oldest, and without question one of the most peculiar, of women. Aunt Kindly" the name by which this eccentric parsonage is fla miliarly known by almost every one in the county, has been bent and decrep- it old woman, living on the charity of the kind-hearted farmers of Fair View as far back as the oldest residents can remember.
 & Just how old she is is a question that has never yet been decided, not even by the honest farmers of Fair View, who for fifty years have occupied many of the long winter evenings discussing, neighbor with neighbor the subject of her age. And sometimes these good- natured denizens grow warm in their debates, often neg1ecting their roasting sweet potatoes until they are charred in the hot embers of the log fire, or until the diligent housewife is preparing for a late repast is cooked into crisp.
 All, however agree that Aunt Rindy Is very old-that she is far more than

gained circulation, but little credit has been given such rumOrs. One young man claimed to have opened the bundle by stealth while the old woman slept, and found it full of living serpents, but some wit asked him how he found cour- age to retie it, and he was compelled to confess that he was joking.
 Keep still, chile, what's mine is mine,' Is the reply one generally re- ceives, when he asks Aunt Rindy about the treasures of her pocket" as she calls it.
 Yes, I'm very old-so old that most folks about here think I'm crazy, but it's just because I'm old and unmin'- ful!' she said. q married Toby Alfred when I was seventeen years old, and the next month we went south and lived with the French in Louisiana. In about six years my husband died and left me with strangers; but they were kind to me, and when the family I stayed with came north to the Boston mountains, l came with them, and we camped on the Osage river, just little way from here, until the men built a log house.
 We never see anybody them days, 'cept 8 few Indians, that used to pass

one hundred years old. Some main- tain that she is one hundred and fifty. others that she is one hundred and thir- ty-tive, and few are to be found who declare that she is not more than one hundred and twenty-five years old. But the assertion that she is below this age no one has ever yet dared to ven~ ture.
 It is true that Aunt Kindly herself has a voice, and that she places her birth at date from which she never varies; but it is also true that her well-mean- ing benefactors have long since ceased to give her assertions any credit. By them she is considered a maniac. How ever, no court has yet assumed the re- sponsibility of committing her to an asylum for the insane. Her story is that she was born in the mountains of East Tennessee, June 25, 1773, and while this date places her at an almost in- credible age, still she associates many circumstances-true to East Tennessee history-with her girlhood, the date of which, by some means, she always gets correct. This fact, for a time, puzzled the people of the community for, as the old lady can neither read nor write, they were at a loss to know how she

 q never saw or heard from my folks after I went south. They war all too high-toned to want to hear from me, and, besides, there want no way to get word to them. My father and mother both died before I married, and didn't have any brothers and sisters.
 ''No, I'm not mistaken about my age. Law, chile, my mother used to make me say my birthday after her til got sick and tired June 25 1773; June 25. 1773,' the old lady repeated number of times in succession, as if following the dicta- tions of some invisible person. Why, remember as well as if it had been yes- terday that my father came home one evenin' and told how General Washing ton had druv the kings soldiers out of Old Virginy. I was a wee little lassie then, and my mother told me all about the war. and said how we had left Vfr- giny because the kings men robbed ev- 1 erybody."

There are several good makes of cameras, ,--.and lots of frauds. Be careful!
 The Eastman Co.'s goods and the makes called "Poco" and 'Premo" will be found perfectly satisfactory.
 You will find it much cheaper and easier in the end to buy the makes that you know to be honest, careful and worthy.
 We have had years of experience in selling photographic goods and have learned the danger of trying to save little money by getting goods that are carelessly put to- gether, l!,itted, and made of cheap materials.
 We have gone SO far that we have decided hereafter to use no camera supplies but those of the Eastman makes. We have had all kinds of trouble with others, and NEVER any trouble with the Eastman goods.
 If you wish to waste money ex- perimenting with trash, get the cheaper kinds. If you want your full moneys worth and satisfac- ton, get the Eastman goods.

obtained this knowledge, until the fer tile brain of some stripling who had been "off to school'' invented the theory that she was a witch and in cOmmuni- cation, if not with the devil, with some spirit equally as evil.
 Greatly to Aunt Rindy's discontinue this theory was accepted, and to this day the children look upon this harmful old soul as witch. No child will go near her, and she has a mutual dislike for children.
 Aunt Rindy always travels on foot and alone, supporting herself with a stick, which she claims to have brought from the mountains of "Tennessy'' in her eighteenth year. With her, tied up in a large bundle, she carries all her possessions; and what is contained in this homely bundle is as much. a mys- tery as the exact date of her birth. By reason of the fact that she never sepa- rates from 1t for moment, not even while she sleeps, no one has ever been able to get view of the contents. Let any one approach unnecessarily near, and she will spring upon him with the avidity of a wounded tigress.
