FAIRFIELD.

The upper mill of the United Box
Board & Paper Co. here, has discharged
nearly all of their men, and it seems
to be the idea that the shutdown is in
definite. The company has employed
about 200 men, with a monthly payroll
of $4,000, and it is matter of serious
moment to the merchants of the place.
For number of months the best sala-
ried men have been leaving for better
positions, until now only few remain
in the yards No reason IS given, but
there has been rumor on the streets
for some time that big pulp mill con-
Germ wanted the plant. Only soda pulp
is manufactured here now. Supt Mans
field has informed some of the men that
the mill may start again in few weeks.

Frederick D. Lawrence.

Another of the city's prominent citi-
Zens passed from this life, Thursday.
when the death of Frederick D. Law
renee occurred, very unexpectedly, and
with such suddenness to give q sad
shock to the community. Mr.. Law
renee had not been feeling well during
the early forenoon, and, about $50,
went to the office of DR.. W. O. Cobb for
advice. The doctor administed medi-
cine to ease Mr.. Lawrence's condition
and as he was weak the doctor suggest
ed that he lie down on the couch I'M
til he felt better, The doctor noticed
that the man became weaker and in q
very short time his life had gone out
The physician gave apoplexy as the
cause of the death.

museum of Harvard in 1873.
He was born in Nova Scotia ana re-

day morning, before her father died
Few men who have taught at Colby
have won greater respect and esteem
from the students than Professor Elder.
If a class could induce him to give an
informal lecture in the class room on
any subject, it was satisfied to sit in
perfect silence and listen, for these
talks We're always Of the most interest
ing and instructive character.
He demanded the best possible work
of all his classes, there being no Shirk-
ing or loafng. But with all he was
eminently just ana fair and those who
completed their studies under him never

him.
He was a splendid teacher, knowing
his subject thoroughly and being able
to impart his knowledge to those under

him best, and the news of his death

Outside his faVorite science he was

well. Modest and unassuming, keen
