Death Of Alden S. Slack.

Alden S. Slack, for about 25 years a res
ident of South Royalton, was last week
recovering from few DAYS acute illness
Not feeling able to return to his work he
went Friday 10 Chelsea to visit his
brother, Curtis o. Slack. About the same
time another brother arrived Unexpectedly
with his wife, who resides in Corinth and
whom he had not seen for a long time.
The meeting of the three brothers was
unusually enjoyable and as they sat down
to supper in jovial spirits it was arranged
for the three brothers to sit together. In
the midst OF conversation Mr.. Alden
Slack was stricken with heart failure and
died instantly. As Mrs. G. j. Slack saw
his head droop, her husband at the same
time arose and saved him from falling.
DIR. Goss was quickly summoned, but
every evidence showed life was extinct
instantly.
The friends at South Royalton were
greatly shocked on receiving the sad news
and sought to bear the sad message softly
to his widowed daughter and grand
daughter. who live in his home.
Mr.. Slack was born in Tunbridge March
20. 1888. He married Miss Hattie Meal
lister Of Wiltamstown Jan. p, 1868, who
died p years ago, leaving him three
daughters and one son, all Of whom sur
viye him and deeply mourn his loss.
Mrs. Gertrude Lewis, the eldest, whose
husband died almost as suddenly two
years ago, with her little daughter, came
home to keep house for her father. Miss
Stella J. resides in Manchester, n.
H., and Miss Fannie B. in Burlington.
His only son, Archie, is married and lives
in Norway, Me. Three brothers also sur
vive him. Curtis o. Of Chelsea, Chandler j.
of Corinth and Henry of Northfeld
Mr.. Slack was highly esteemed citizen,
conscientious and obliging neighbor, un-
pretentious in his ways, kind and indul-
gent father, whose unselfish life will be
long remembered by those closely ac-
quainted in his home and town.
June 3, 1861, at the age of %, he enlisted
in the Union army. July Is, 1861, he was
mustered into service in Co. I'D regiment,
Vermont volunteers. In the battle OF the
Wilderness he was wounded in the side.
In the battle of Winchester he was
wounded in the head and knee in Septem
Der, 1861. and came home on a furlough.
The funeral was held at Chelsea Monday
at one D. m. Rev. W. +. Mann, pastor OF
the Cong'l church at South Royalton, of
which be was a member, ably otficiated.
The choir of the Chelsea Cong'l church, of
which Mr.. and Mrs. Slack were both once
members, rendered appropriate selections.
His three brothers and cousin, o. II.
Slack Of Tunbridge were bearers. After
the services as many Of the friends as
could went to Nilliamstown where he
was buried beside his wife

The Champion Team.

On account of rain the Rochester team
failed to appear on Saturday, thus forfeit
ing the game. This leaves the II. II. 5.
team with a record of II games played and
nine won. It has defeated Whitcomb II.
5. twice, Northtield II. 5. twice, South
Royalton ". 5. once, Rochester once, Ran
dolph Normal once and a town team OF this
place twice, while it has lost one game
each to Mortified and South Royalton.
This leaves the team with a clean title to
the championship over all the above men
toned teams, as South Royalton has been
twice defeated by Bethel and did not ac-
cept the dates offered by the manager ON
which to play off the tie. Much credit for
the success OF the team belongs to Capt.
Kibby, as he required practice of his men
and used good judgment in placing them.
The team has been self-supporting this
year, and both the members of the team
and the manager are grateful for the in
terest shown in it by the students and
townspeople.

GARDEN PARK
OIL DISTRICT


This is one of the most promising
oil districts to BIZ found in the state
of Colorado. There havo been favor
able reports made on this district by
such eminent geologists as Arthur
Lake of Colorado, and H. W. Com
stock of Boston, Massachusetts.
While there has been great deal
of development done around Florence
and the immediate vicinity. and while
there are now over 400 producing oil
wells at Florence eight miles east,
there has as yet been no wells sunk
in Garden Park. which district author
ities claim to be the fountain head of
this oil district.
The New England Consolidated
Oil company is now prospecting this
territory and il is being watched
with great interest by the people of
this city and Florence, for the sue
cess of this enterprise means one Of
the biggest oil booms this state has
ever had, and it is conceded by ali
good authorities that there is no
question of doubt as to the New
England Consolidated company strik-
ing oil. Ii even has been represented
BY men of repute and oil knowledge
that it is the only district where they
are liable TO get a gusher.
AS TO the existence OF oil in Gar
den Park the seepage can be traced
for miles along the creek, also along
the edges OF the outcrop surround
ing the valley for miles in extent.
The above company now operat-
ing has well down some GOO
feet, but owing to the cavlng r. and
waiting for casing Ia arrive from
Pennsylvania. they have been d iayed
in the progress of their work
As soon as the tools and castings
arrive, and they are expected this
week, it is safe to say that this com
pany will have a well down from
1000 to 100 feet deep within the
next 80 or 40 days.
This is entirely an eastern enter
prise. the capital having been raised
by Boston people. and il they are
successful they will spend large
amount OF money in developing this
territory
There Is also the Oil Greek Petrol
cum company which is getting in
machinery and material preparatory
to commence sinking wells on the
land just south of the New England
Consolidated company's land.
II is reported that two other com
panies are about to erect derricks
and sink wells in this district.
In this and the Florence districts
there are now over twenty new der
ricks being erected for the purpose
of boring for oil.
With two retineries at Florence
with 2,6oo barrels capacity per day
there is ready market for all oil
produced in this district.

We know of no way in which we can be of more service to our readers than to tell them Of something that will be of real good to them. For this reason we want to acquaint them with what we consider one of the very best rem edies on the market for coughs, colds, and that alarming complaint, croup. We refer to Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy. We have used it with such good
 results in our family so long that it has become household necessity. By it's prompt use we haven't any doubt but that 1t has time and again prevented croup. The testimony is given upon our own experience, and we suggest that our readers, especially those who have small children, always keep it in their homes as safeguard against croup. Camden (S. C.)
