year later he was called to the church in New Preston, where in May, 1875, he was ordained by theLitchfieid South Consolation. During the more than quarter century of his active ministry he has served several other churches besides those already mentioned. In 1894 he was called from the pastorate of the churches in Granby to the chap laincy of the State Prison at Wethers- field, where he remained for two years, durineswhich time he was able to effici- ently study the criminal from inside the lars. At the end of two years he was called to the pastorate of the Con- gregational church of Troy, N. H., whereshe labored very successfully for year and half, when owing to the severity of the winters and their effect on the health of Mrs Moses, he was obliged to return to a more moderate climate. In the early part of 1898 the church in Sherman extended call to him, which he accepted and where te has labOred for the past four and half years, doing most excellent and suc- cessful work for the church and com munity. In May, 1899, Mrs Moses was prostrated with a severe shock of pa ralysis, from which after more than three years she has only pal tially recov- cred. This added another heavy bur den for MT Moses to bear, but with his usual cheerfulnesS he in Christian faith and trust accepted the added cross and continued to labor on for the good of church and community. He seemed to have no favorites, but always had a word of cheer for every one. A man of cheerful disposition and a faithful Christian, he is also an earnest preach CT and pleasing speaker on public oc- casiOns. It is hoped that in his new field he will meet with deserved suc- cess.

AS COAL GOES UP.

Nobody knows what the top-notch price for coal will be the coming win ter. It is bound to be far above the highest price ever known for that use- ful mineral. The supply will be mo- where near large enough to meet the demand, even if the striking miners were to return to their work at once. You may make up your mind that your coal bill this fall and winter IS going to be big, and as an economical person, you should look about for opportunities to save money enough to compensate you for the extra outlay for coal. Heres Heres a chance e to begin a saving ac, shoes at third under under regular prices. They also advertise attractive bargains in clothes for men and boys, which, in view of the coal question, deserve unusual attention. Next week Meigs & Co. begin their regular August sale of trousers. This year the sale promises to be an important event, stocks being large and varied and prices unusually low for good goods.
