NINE TO THREE.
6rattleboro Independents Beat Hins'
daIes Easily.

Brattleboro's so-called Independents
found the nine from Hinsdale an easy
crowd at the ball game on the Fair
grounds Saturday afternoon, defeating
them by the score of 8 to 3.
Up to the sixth inning the game was
one of the most interesting Of the sea-
son, the score then standing 81 in IA
vor Of Hinsdale. Then the local boys
caught on to the curves of Monroe and
by the aid of several errors by Hins-
dale's infielders Brattleboro made three
runs. Following this the outcome was
never in doubt. -Four more runs were
added in the seventh and one in the
eighth, making the final score SO.
For Brattleboro, Tucker and r. Allen
made pretty catches In the outfield, and
Stolte, L. Allen and Ellis had all the
infield honOrs. Ferriter also made
beautiful throw from rightfield, in the
ninth, mailing a man at the plate. Ellis
did splendid work in the box, Monroe
and Brooks put UP their regulation
duet and Russell, of the Hinsdales,
made some stops that won applause.

Leyden Mans Honorable Record.

David Mowry of Leyden. who has
just passed his S7th birthday, is one of
the most respected and best known
men of Franklin county. He is de-
scended from John Mowry. one Of the
pioneer settlers of Rhode Island.
David Mowry's father, George, was
born in Rhode Island, but came to Ley
den when a young man and settled
there when the town was new. David.
the only one of the six children borne
by his second wife, Polly Avery, was
born Sept. 7, 1916. He obtained his
education in the common schools Of
Leyden and in the academy at Deer
field. While attending the academy
he worked on the farm. Here he was
well liked, because of his industry and
good habits, it being his custom then,
as it always has been, never to drink
liquor, use tobacco or speak abusive
language. After leaving the academy
he taught for several terms in the
schools of Colrain, Leyden and Vernon.
Since then and for over 60 years
he has lived on his farm in Leyden.
When he was a young man he was
accustomed to make the journey from
Leyden to Boston with OK teams. To
Boston he carried ties and produce
from the farm and on the return trip
he brought flour, sugar, grain. etc. The
citizens of Leyden showed their appre-
citation of his ability as a town officer
by electing him chairman of the select
men for 80 years. He was also town
clerk and treasurer for number Of
terms. In 1S47 he represented his
district in the Legislature. He has also
been interested for many years in the
Franklin county agricultural society.
He was married to Sarah A. Carpen-
.er in 1910. BY this union he had five

DO NOT DOSE the STOMACH
Cure catarrh by Natures Own Method
Every Breath Of Hyomsi Brings
Relief.

| Relief.
Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish 1t Is to try and cure
1t by drugging the stomach. Tenn
porary relief may be given, but cure
seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way to cure cat
arrh would be to have a change of cli-
mate; but now with Hyomei you can
carry health giving climate in your
vest pocket and by breathing it a few
minutes four times day soon cure
yourself
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.00 and consists Of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and bottle of Hy-
omei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime,
and If one bottle does not cure, an ex-
ira bottle of Hyomei can be obtained
for so cents. 1t is the most economi-
cal Of all remedies advertised for the
cure Of catarrh. and is the only one
that follows nature in her method Of
treating diseases Of the respiratory
organs.
George E. Greene has sold a great
many Hyomei outfits and the more he
sells, the more convinced he is that he
is perfectly safe in guaranteeing to re-
fund the money If Hyomei does not
cure.

Death of Charles A. Cutter.

Charles A. Cutter, librarian at the
Forbes library of Northampton, Mass,
died Sept. 6, at the age of sc. at Wall
pole, where he had been spending his
vacation. He had a severe attack of
pneumonia last spring, which resulted
in weakness of the heart and proved
fatal upon his being attacked with ma
laria. He was connected with the Bos-
ton athenaeum rs years. He accepted
a call to the Forbes library when it was
opened in 1895, and had since done
work of great value, not only to the
local library, but to librarians in gen.
eral. He originated a system of cata-
Logging which bears his name and is
widely used.
