In Tunbridge. on Wednesday afternoon,
Oct. 9TH, Charles Carroll Whitney drew his
last breath, surrounded by sorrowing
friends. He died at the home where he
was born 81 years ago,and where his father
was born and where his grandfather died,
and-his great-grandfather also. IL is a
place that be loved, sacred to the associa-
tons OF his boyhood days, where he made
50 many large plans for his future, and
had such high aspirations, which be failed
TO realize, unless in his children. He was
an intelligent, well-read man. with clean
mind and said nothing but kind words IN
his family.
He tried to do what was right, and was
very sensitive to any unkind, harsh crIti-
cism, it wounded him sorely. In his
younger days he spent few years in Pro-
violence, r. l., where be was an exemplary
member OF the Baptist church and very
active in Sunday school work.
The last few years Of his life, with his
falling health, have been struggle, but he
hoped for something better and wanted to
live for he loved his home and family. He
left wife and five children,and he wanted
70 stay with them. but his Heavenly
Father called him.

Found pead in the Woods.

Bert Moody OF West FRirlee committed
suicide last Thursday by shooting himself.
In the forenoon he was out hunting. ac-
companied by another party, and came
home for dinner at the Lake House, where
he was boarding. After dinner il seems
he took his shotgun and revolver and left
the house about two O'Clock. This was
the last he was seen alive. As he was an
eccentric fellow, nothing was thought OF
his not returning that night or even the
next day.
Sunday, a large party went out TO search
for hum and found his body in clump Of
trees about thirty rods from the road THAI
follows near the lake. He had evidently
placed the revolver at his forehead and
fred one shot, killing him instantly as
there were no signs OF struggle. The re-
mains were taken TO his boarding place
and the funeral was held Monday.
Moody came from the West, was about
IS years old and unmarried. He had no
relatives here except sister, Mrs. Harvey
Wilson, who lives near Middlebrook,
Fairlee. He had been crazy in way for
some time. He will be remembered here
as driving the Vershire stage last year
when the line was owned by Bert Moody
and Jesse Rix of West Fairlee.
II could not have been financial matters
that caused the deed, as when found he
had $3.50 in his pocket and a bank book
good for some $500. A writing was found
requesting that the money be given to his
nephew.

Railroad Improvement.

During the present season much inn
provement has been made in the road bed
OF the White River Valley railroad con-
Meeting Rochester and Bethel. Twelve
thousand dollars have been expended in
rebuilding Stony Brook bridge, which
went out last spring. The abutments
were relaid in granite and the bridge
raised eight feet above former level. The
roadbed has been ballasted with gravel
for distance OF two miles above this
point and for more than mile down from
Rochester, where steam shovel, gravel
train and gang of Italians are now at
work. In all, 5000 will have been ex-
pended this season. Next season II is
planned to complete the roadbed and place
the road in condition for fast service.
The present season has been very salts
factory, yielding a dividend for the first
time. There is a good passenger and
freight patronage which win certainly in
crease another year when two trains will
run daily each way, instead OF one. Since
Nav 18th, when service was resumed after
the bridge disaster, there has been no in
terruption. The operating expenses are
about $50 day and the receipts have run
from $50 TO 1913 day.
The road has had an unfortunate career
and the prospect of better things is very
encouraging Over 100000 has been in
vested in it since the beginning. A COM
pany was organized last fall consisting of
Samuel Williams, Jose, Parker 4 Co. of
Boston and James Stiles of Gardner, Mass,
and the road purchased OF Receiver Saw
yer for $4,000. Manager z. +. Clatiin has
shown much capacity in his work, and the
employees under him are all courteous and
obliging. In spite OF all difficulties there
has never been a serious accident on the
road. The great needs now are faster serv-
ice. more trains and better connections at
Bethel, and all these will come in time
Even now the road is highly appreciated
and well patronized by the valley. The
rolling stock is in good condition and the
depots at Rochester, Lower Rochester,
and Gaysville are nice and
comfortable. There is good engine
house, with small repair shop connected,
at Rochester

Mr.. EDTroR:-I want to say a few
words in your paper in behalf OF the
stallion, Morrill, Prince, owned by B. Il.
Goodrich of Chelsea.
The Union Agricultural society At their
fair held at Tunbridge offered two prem
iums: first, so; second, IS; for best
stallion with not less than five of his
get Three stations competed for the
above premiums, Young Alexander, Cob
den 5. and Morrill, Prince. The COM
mittee gave Young Alexander LIST premium,
Golden 5. End premium, morrill, Prince
takes a back seat.
Now / saw that the stock shown by
these stations should be considered in
the awards of premiums. III not. what
is the use of taking five colts and why
should the society ask it OF the stock
shown by Young Alexander, one Two year
old colt TOOK list prize. OF the colts
shown by Golden S, one stallion one
vear-old took 1st prize. OF the colts
shown by Morrill, Prince, one four-year-
old took LIST prize, one three-year-old
stallion End prize. one two-year-old colt
2nd prize. two one year-old colts took
Isl and 2nd prizes. The same committee
judged the colts that judged the stations.
Here are two first premiums and three
second premiums for Morrill, Prince
against one first premium for each OF the
other stations.
/ understand that one of the committee
did not like his breeding and that this
stallion was not looked over by the COM
mittee. But il Morrill, Prince had the
best showing OF stock he should have
first premium, regardless Of what one of
the committee can say of his breeding.
I know that his breeding Is Just what
we want in this section Of the country
and that his stock is 0. K, and il he can
have a fair show with other stations he
won't have to 90 on the tail end of the
procession. W. II. HILL. Chelsea.
