Where is my Paper?"

Writes an indignant subscriber, 81
subscribed two weeks ago and have not
received it, We look it up The letter
is dated, for instance, Cornwall, VT, the
town in which the subscriber lives. The
paper is being sent regularly to that
office, but as the subscriber gets his mail
by R. F. d. carrier from Middlebury and
never goes to the post office, he, OF
course, fails to get his paper.
This trouble can all be avoided by
dating all letters from the post office
from which the mail is sent out by
carrier. Persons in Salisbury, Shore
ham, Weybridge. etc, who receive mail
by carrier from Middlebury should date
all letters ''Middlebury"; those in Addi-
son, Panton, ETC., "Nergennes," and
also give number of X. f. D. route they
live on, and then there will be no con-
fusion, and they will get their mail
whether it is letter or paper, promptly.
Never use name of town if you do not
receive mail from "a post office bearing
the same name.

E. M. Wright Dead.

Ethan Murray Wright, one of the old
est and most respected citizens of Orwell
and a successful merchant there for forty
years, died at his home on November 25,
after brief illness. His health has failed
rapidly since the death of his wife last
August when happy companionship of
fifty some years was severed.
Mr.. Wright was born at Hinesburgh,
VT, August 10, 1918, the eldest of six
children of Brigham c. and Urania (NIur-
ray Wright, none of whom survive. He
left his fathers farm at the age of fifteen
and became self-supporting.
In 1745, at the request of Champion
Fletcher, he moved to Orwell and formed
co-partnership with Mr.. Fletcher to
continue the business of general mer-
chandising founded by the Hon. Apholph-
us Austin and by him successfully con-
Quoted for more than half a century.
This firm continued for several years and
thereafter Mr.. Wright had as successive
partners Miner b. Catlin, Rollin Gale,
Charles f. Wyman, Doris c.. Bascom and
finally his son, William B. Wright. His
mercantile life at Orwell was continued
for forty years and was prosperous
He retired from active business in 1885.
Mr.. Wright was a representative from
Orwell in 1S74-5. He was an earnest
republican, a member of the Congrega-
tional Church since 1S41 and a deacon.
On September 16, 1916, he married
Eliza T. Bottum, daughter of Bishop
Bottum of Orwell and they had nearly
tifty-seven years of happy welded life.
Three sons survive, Col. William B.
Wright of Orwell, Charles D. Wright of
Fergus Falls, Mimi, and George NJ.
Wright of New York city.
Mr.. Wright was man of strong per-
sonal traits and characteristics, overflow
ing with quaint and kindly humor, frank
in expression with never trace of
malice, of transparent purity of life and
thought, with deep religious convictions
but with liberality and tolerance for the
belief of others, of unfagging and per-
sistent industry, simple habit of life,
generous in his family relations and in
the support of charitable and educational
objects, he was good representative of
old New England stock.
His funeral was very largely attended
on Saturday at l o'clock from his late
residence, Rev Benz. Swift officiating.
The bearers were H. T. Cults, S. D.
Wells, w. b. French and c. II. Lewis
