The Golden Wedding Anniversary.

Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew McGaffey,
of Burlington, were pleasantly enter
tanned Thursday evening by a sur
prise reception which was held at the
G. A. R. hall, in honor of their
golden wedding anniversary and was
given under the management of the
members of the G. A. R., and Won
ans Relief Corps. About seventy
five friends were present.
During the evening purse OF $50
in gold was presented to Mr.. and
Mrs. McGaffey, the presentation
speech being made by c. E. Beach.
Following this a social and musical
hour was passed, after which refresh
ments of ice cream and cake were
served
Mr.. McGaffey was the son of DAN
iel and Mary McGaffey, and was
born in the town of Hardwick in
1928. Early in life he learned the
harness business in Montpelier, later
moving to the West where he lived
for eleven years and was engaged in
farming and the harness trade. In
March, 1865, he enlisted in Co. |,
18th III. Inf, which joined Sherman's
army while it was marching against
Johnson and remained with 1t until
his surrender at Raleigh, S. c. Next
his company went to Washington
where it took part in the grand re-
view of Sherman's army May %.
From Washington the company
was sent to Fort Leavenworth,
Kans., and from there to Fort Kear
nav, Nebr. Soon after was again
dered back to Fort Levenworth,
where it was mustered out and sent
to Springfield, H., to be discharged.
During the time Mr.. McGaffey served
in the army, his family were living in
Burlington, as they went there at
the time he enlisted. In November,
1865, Mr.. McGaffey went to Burling-
ton and entered into the harness bus
mess, in which he is still engaged.
Mrs. McGaffey was Miss Lovira
P. Spaulding, daughter of Ozias and
Caroline Spaulding, of Morristown,
and was born April 8, 1882,
Mr.. and Mrs. McGaffey were mar
ried in Stowe July %, 1853. Of the
eight children born to them, four are
still living, the oldest son, Edna O.,
lives in Illinois and the other three,
Charles G., Mrs. Ella Hodges Wild
man, and Mrs. Van Steinberg, live in
Burlington. There are five grand

The Death Of "stonewalI" Jackson.
(Gen. John B. Gordon in Scribner's.

(Gen. John B. Gordon in Scribner's.)
had been with my new command
but short time when che great bat
tie OF Charlottesville occurred. 1t
was just before this bloody engage.
ment that my young brother had so
accurately and firmly predicted his
own death, and it WAS here the i'm
mortal Jackson fell. | never write or
pronounce this name without an i'm
pulse to pause in veneration tor that
American phenomenon. The young
men of this country cannot study the
character of General Jackson without
benefit to their manhood, and for
those who are not familiar with hiH
characteristics | make this descrip
tive allusion to him.
AS to whether he fell by the fire OF
his own men or from that of the Un
ion men in his front, will perhaps
never be definately determined The
general, the almost universal belief
at the South is, that he was killed by
a volley from the Confederate line;
but l have grave doubts of this rails
ed in my own mind by conversations
with thoughtful Union officers who
were at the time in his front and near
the point where he was killed. 1t
seems to me quite possible that the
fatal ball might have come from
either army. This much-mooted ques-
tion as to the manner of his death is,
however, of less consequence than the
manner of his life. Any life of such
nobility and strength must always
he a manner of vital import and in
terest.
But moreimportant than anything
have yet said of jackson may be
comprised, l think. in the observa-
ton that be added to a marvellous
genius for war a character as man
and Christian which was absolutely
without blemish. His child-like trust
and faith, the simplicity, sincerity
and constancy of his transformations
piety did not come with the war, nor
was it changed by the trials and dan
gers of war. If the war affected him
at all in this particular, 1t only inten-
sified his religious devotion, becauf e
of the tremendous responsibilities
which it imposed; butt long before this
his religious thought, word and ex-
ample were leading to the higher life
young men intrusted to his care at
the Virginia Military Institute.

Death of Moses Wilbur.

Moses Wilbur died at the old an
cestral home in Waterville, July 81,
1903, at the age of 90 years. He
was the son of George and Betsey
Mcfarland Wilbur whose parents
were among the first settlers of Colts
Gore, in 1878 and 1900, which be-
came the town of Watervile by act
of legislature in 1924. He came of
sturdy circle of such men as Timothy
Brown, Zephamiah Leach and Os-
good Mcfarland whose son, Captain
Moses Mcfarland, now lives in the
town at the age of 80 years, strong
and vigorous man. These master
full pioneers educated their children to
habits of industry and independent
thought and film sturdy manhood;
and when the civil war of 1865
came ninety-one of them volunteered
to preserve the honor and integrity of
their country. Waterville, with an
educated patriotism in these fathers
homes, sent more than fifteen per cent.
81 her entire population to the war
g out of a population of COCA no.
Ae record of patriotic and ancestral
Cirtue.
Mr.. Wilbur's funeral was held at
lis late residence on Wednesday, July
%, at 2 p. m, under the direction of
E. |. Mann, and largely attended.
Rev. Edwin Wheelock oficiated. He
leaves two daughters, Gertrude Will
bur and Mrs. Mary Wescotte, in the
old homestead.
Mr.. Wilbur was a most kindly and
unassuming man and an honorable
citizen. He bore in his daily life the
spirit of the text that he daily re-
peated, Ps. 1914: Lord make me
to know mine end, and the measure
of my days, what is it; that l may
know how frail l am"

The Shoes We Wear.

Exports of boots and shoes for the
fiscal year about to end seem likely,
according to official reports, to ex-
coed those of any preceding year,
both in quantity and value. In 1880
the number of pairs of boots and
shoes exported was 378, 274 in 1890
the number had increased to 587, 1OS
pairs, in 1900 to 3,016,72O pairs,
and in 1902 to 1866, 766 pairs; and
in the present fiscal year the total
will exceed four million. The value
of boots and shoes exported has
grown from a little over half mil
lion dollars in 1893 to more than
six millions in 1908. Of the six mil
lion dollars worth of footwear ex-
ported in 1902, two million dollars
worth went to the United Kingdom,
practically a million dollars worth
to Mexico, a halfmillion dollars
worth to Cuba and about an equal
sum to Canada. The increase in
shipments from the United States to
the United Kingdom has been very
rapid during the decade, the total
value in 1892 being but $2,169, and
in 1902 $2,013,89O. The number of
pairs sent to the United Kingdom
from the United States was, in 1892,
1907, and in 1902, 1895, 1896; while
to British Australasia the number of
pairs sent in 1892 was 9,298, and in
1902, $50, 1859; to Germany, in 1892,
812, and in 1902, 122,659. The to-
tai number of pairs of boots and
shoes sent abroad was 1896, 766,
two-thirds of which went to British
territory, distributed as follows:
United Kingdom, 1,O35, 1856 pairs
Quebec, Ontario, etc., 269I64 pairs
British West Indies, 1894 pairs !;
British Australasia, 550,4 pairs !;

Oh, Shncks!

The youth of America discovered
long ago that peanuts are un-
commonly filling, and students of
Norwich University, at Mortified,
VT, have for several months been put
ting that discovery to practical use,
says The Youths Companion. A
young man working his way through
college, who found it needful to pare
expenses, demonstrated that a quart
and half of peanuts provided all the
sustenance he needed for twenty-four
hours, and when he bought the nuts
by the sack his board" cost him
just a dollar week. as against the
three dollars and a half he had been
paying at fraternity house. Soon
three other students joined the exper-
imenter, and since early in March
these four have stuck to the peanut
diet, the only variation from the or
iginal plan being tirsrr -Ufr two days
in the week each man eats three eggs
"to supply the need of albumen. .
The correspondent who tells the ta'e
adds that three of the four peanut
ers" are identified with the athletic
interests of the student body, and
afirms that physically as well as
mentally they are in better condition
than ever before. In the last Twelve
weeks the men have increased in
weight, on an average, fifteen
pounds" Let the lean, the feeble
and the wise women who run board
ing houses make note of it.
