Friday from Tacoma, Wash, after
an absence of ten years from this his
native place. Though looking quite
we'll he says he has lost fifty pounds
following an attack of the grip. He
will not return to his western home

liam Bass, son of the late Walter Bass,
has lately gone into the grocery bust
ness with an old acquaintance in South
Tacoma.
j. E. Ainsworth is taking week
in his early home in Olaremont, N H.
One who took al active part in max
ing Old Home Week so interesting
here, two years ago, suggests that our
Grange take in hand the matter this
season and give us another Old Home
Week celebration. Surely the Grange
could make great success of such
work and we second the suggestion.
1t is hoped that our old time towns
man, Charles R. Ainsworth, wife and
daughter Of Moline, ILL.,, may be here
within two weeks for a vacation.
Mrs. DR.. Cornelius V. Lynde and
son of Northfield, Mimi, went to
Stowe last week where they will visit
friends and later go to Hardwick and
Burlington for the same purpose.
They will return here in some two
weeks to remain hereabouts till Sep
TENDER, perhaps.
News comes of the death of our
former townsman, Dennison Kinsman,
OF Winsterset, Iowa, at the age of
some eighty-five years. He was the
son of the late James Kinsman, we'll
known here many years ago while liv-
ing here, he married Mary Martin, a
sister of the late Damon ID. Martin,
and five children were born to them,
three of whom are living. His second
wife was Lora, the daughter of the
late David Burnham, who survives
him. AIR. Kinsman and a son had
each an eighty-acre farm in Iowa and
he had lived on his farm till the time
OF his death. He was esteemed as
very worthy Christian man.
Mrs. Norman G. Davis will visit
friends in Barre this week and then

large owner.
A telegram from Colorado to j. S.

Tuesday, and she will be buried from
the home of Mr.. Hopkins on Wednes-

another so sad case of sickness in a
young person of her age as that of
Miss Nellie Flint. Death must have
been welcomed by her and her friends.
