Another OF our honored and respected
citizens, Capt. Freeman G. Tracy, passed
a ,ay Jan. 2 after a long illness. He was
Obliged to leave the sea on account of
poor health about twenty-si years ago,
and for some time employed himself in
light work about his home and farm,
but for the last six years he was unab e
to do any manual labor. Since the deaf h
of his faithful and loving wife, nearly
two years ago, he has had very lonely
life, and his health has been gradually
failing. He was kindly cared for at the
home of his brother, Capt. 8. L. Tracy,
who, with Mrs. Tracy, left nothing un-
done to alleviate his suffsrings, and make
his last days as comfortable as possible.

least one more new union while she

iieve hat prohibition is better than IL

Your correspondent and the county
president visited the W. G T. U. meeting
Ia Boston this week. The meeting was
Chi. fly devotional, as opening the week
of prayer, and special prayers were
offered for the work and for all the
leaders therein, especially by Lady Henry
Somerset, whose poor hea' til forbios her
to travel or to take any active part In the
work for the present. Mrs. Katherine
Lenie Stevenson was present, and led
part Of be services.
We are glad to hear from Winter and
Northeast Hsrbors ny Miss Moore, and
also by The AMERICAN.
Dear press uperintendents, let your
abseDt friends hear from you often,
w neu you have nice, interesting meet
ing, write it up for the encouragement OF
other unions.
Are you getting out programmes for
local meetings ahead OF time SO rs to be
all ready for them? THIS is good plan
and is highly recommended wherever II
has been tried.
There are lots OF Maine people about
here, sDd II they could be all interested, a
good Maine daug hters' union might be
formed, but as they are somewhat scat
tered, perhaps it would not be practicable
at present.
With best wishes for success.
