cleared farm in the Blood settlement
and erected thereon lumber and grit
mill. But the choicest treasure he dis.
covered was "A noble woman; Gods
best gift to man." and on Nov. 80. ls43,
Marien Blood became the wife of Colonel
John DOwner Hunt. This was truly
happy union and to them were born two
children-a daughter, Clara b., the late
Mrs. DR.. s. S. fowler. and a son, Cyrus
F., of Marienville. Col. Hunt was an
able assistant to Mr.. Blood in estab-
fishing the new county which was put on
an independent basis in 1856, with Mar
ienville as the county seat. The new
county was christened Forest by MIR.
Blood and its principal town, Marien, in
honor of the oble daughter who, more
than any other person, deserved such
lasting tribute, since by infusing new
strength into her father by her firmness,
and solacing his weary hours by her love,
she was of wonderful help to him.
Coming of good Presbyterian parent
age, Mrs. Hunt imbibed and chez ished
the principles of that faith, but as there
was no hope of such a congregation be-
ing established at Marienville for many
years, Mr.. and Mrs. Hunt united with
the Lutheran church in 1850, and con-
tinued their membership there till the
Presbyterian church OF Marienville was
organized in the sos. OF Mrs. Hunts
christian life and character it may be
said that no better example for coming
generations is placed on pages of history.
Humility, born of that love that is of
greatest value, was her crowning virtue.
Loyal to her own, but unsectarian in her
love and sympathy, her hand and purse
were ever ready to help those in need. A
woman of remarkable Judgment and
christian culture, gentle and winning in
her nature. she in turn was universally
loved by all who knew her. Citcum-
scribed as her lot was for many yenrs,
she has left an enviable record and her
memory lends a rich perfume and sheds
radiance on the history of our county.
Her life blood is closely interviewer with
its history and so worthily did she full
fill the duties that devolved upon her that
it causes the hearts of all true women of
our county to swell with pride that one
so noble, so lovely, so worthy is their
representative in the history of our
| county. The sacrifices made by Mrs.
Hunt during the early history of Forest
county deserve and should receive from
a peoples gratitude high and massive
monument reared in every heart
Funeral services were held at the Hunt
homestead Sabbath afternoon at 300
o'clock, and were conducted by her pas
tor, Rev. II. +. Earseman. assisted by
Rev. Mr.. Rely of the NJ. E. Church.

derful constitution and kept his health
until recently. For many years he held
the office of constable in his township,

20 miles, without apparent fatigue. He
was one of the hardy pioneers of jerks

The tendency of medical s:ience is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the
most dangerous diseases that medical
men have to contend with, can be pre-
vented y the use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from cold or from an attack OF in
fluenza grip, and it has been observed
that this remedy cuunterscts any tendency
of these diseases toward pneumonia. This
has been fully proven in many thous-
ands of cases in which this cpmedy has
been used during the great prevalence of
colds aud grip in recent years, and can
be relied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from light
cold when no danger is apprehended un-
Ill It is suddenly discovered that there is
fever and difficulty in breathing and
pains in the chest, then 1t is announced
that the patient has pneumonia. Be on
the safe side and take Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is con.
trcted. 1t always cures. Sold by Dunn.

SEVERAL SMALLPOX CASES.
Four in Putney and One in Dummerston-
Health Officials Have Acted Promptly

Within ten days five cases OF small
pox have developed in nearby towns,
four of them in family at Putney
and one in Dummerston. The health
authorities have been prompt in inves-
tigating the disease and quarantining
the sufferers, and assurance is given
that no spread of the disease is proba.
BILE. Vaccination is general in the
towns named, and those who have pos
sibly been exposed are being closely
watched
At Putney three members OF fam
ily by name of Whitney and their
hired man have come down with the
disease. They live on what is known
as the Jones place in the east part OF
the town. The patients came down
sick three weeks or more ago and their
disease was thought to be chicken pox
DR.. H. d. Holton visited them Tues
day and they were quarantined at
once. The cases are all mild.
The Dummerston victim is Willis
Raw, a laborer, who has been feeling
in miserable health and finally took to
his bed last week Wednesday. The
physician called diagnosed the case as
smallpox, which was later confirmed,
and all necessary precautions were al
once taken. The house was quaran-
tined and keeper put in charge. Ihe
case is pronounced severe but not ike,
ly to terminate fatally. Residents OF
Dummerston living near the infected
house have been vaccinated and 1t Is
hoped that no further cases Will be re
ported. Several persons who have been
exposed by the man Ray are being
closely watched during the period ol
inception. ~,
In tracing the source of the case tnt
physicians have no doubt that IA,
caught the disease from his daughter
Edna, who recently came from Fishers
Island. The young woman was III OF
her arrival and showed symptoms OF Sc
rious trouble, but did not consider hel
condition bad enough to warrant call

ANNUAL INSPECTION
By Railroad Officials Speculation About the
New Freight House.

A party consisting OF the directors
and board of managers of the Central
Vermont railroad passed Tuesday night
in town. on their annual inspection OF
the company's lines. They arrived at
10 D. m. by special train and were side
tracked at the depot, spending the
night in their car. They left for New
London at 7 O'Clock Wednesday morn
ing. They arrived and departed so
quietly that their presence in town
was not generally known: Whether
they will stop over on their return is
problematical.
1t was hoped, if not expected, that
the visit of the directors might result
in some definite information concern
ing the projected new freight house at
the local yards, but in this the pubic
is disappointed, although it is rumored
that the matter may take material
shape very shortly. Report comes from
excellent authority that the company
intends at an early date to raze the
present freight house, which has been
| in use for half century, and erect on
its site modern building, of greater
capacity and substantial construction.
The present building, which is about
200 feet long by 35 feet in width, has
been outgrown by the company's IN
creased business, and the quarters are
so crowded that the handling of freight
is much confused and sometimes re-
tarded. 1t is understood that the
plans and specifications for the new
freight house have already been pre-,
pared, and it would not surprise local
officials if work were ordered com
menced within week. 1t will be built
of brick and set back from the tracks
somewhat further than the present
structure, allowing for Strengthening
the main delivery track on the receiv-
ing platform and avoiding the present
curve, which cuts off the view of ap-
preaching cars.
Several other improvements and
changes of considerable magnitude are,
it is said, also in contemplation by the
railroad company and if current ru-
mors prove true the property of the
company in this town will be greatly
benefited. 1t is earnestly hoped that
some plan may be devised to remedy
the pool of mud and mire which, in
wet weather, is always such blemlsh
at the west end of the passenger sta
ton. Its condition frequently be-
comes a positive disgrace.

Charles H. Robb, a Guilford boy
and formerly Wipdham county prac-
titioner of law, has been chosen assist
ant attorney general for the postoilice

place of James N. Tyner and his Act
ing Assistant Christiancy who was re-
lieyed at his own request pending In

columns. He accepted the appoint
ment with the distinct understand
ING that il was because OF the ex-
istipg condition of affairs at the de-
partment and that it was not to be per-
mapent and began his duties Monday.
n is not believed at the department,
however, that Christiancy will resume
his place. Mr.. Robb was born IN Gull
ford in 1868. He attended the district
schools and then the academy at West
Brattleboro. He was graduated from
the Brattleboro high school in the class
of 1887 and taught in the schools OF the

was states attorney for Windham coun-
tv from 1896 to 1898. In 1901 he was
annointed solicitor for the internal rev
epue department, and on Feb. %, 1902,
was appoipted special assistant to
ATTORNEY General Knox. Mr.. Robb's
salary will be s4500 year, the same
that he received in the Department OF
Justice. He was recommended for the
place by the attorney general who spoke
highly of his ability and honesty. ;.
The Rutland Herald says Of him edi
torially: "He was states attorney OF
Windham county in 1896 and 1897,
when the vigorous prosecution of vio-
lators of the then prohibition law at
tracted wide attention in this state.
His prosecutions did much to make
Brattleboro and Bellows Falls local op'
tion in sentiment.
