THE
new YORK WORLD
HRlCE-A-WEEk EDITION.
Read wherever the English Lang
uage is s oxen.

The THRICE-A-WEEK WORLD was a
brilliant success in the beginning and has
been steadily growing ever since. Time
is the test of all things, and has set its
seal of approval on the Thricea- Week
World, which is widely circulated in
every state and territory in the union,
and wherever there are people who can
read our mother tongue.
This paper for the coming winter and
the year 1908, will make its news service
if possible, more extensive than ever.
'All events of importance, no matter
where they happen, are reported accur-
ately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar a
year, gets three papers every week and
more news and general reading than
most great dailies can furnish at five OF
six times the price.
The Thrice-a-W World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias
is never allowed to effect its news
columns, and Democrat and Republican
alike can obtain in its pages truthful
accounts of all the great political cam
paigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice
a-Week World furnishes the best serial
fiction, elaborate market reports and
other features of interest.
The Thrice a-Week Worlds regular
subscription price is only 81 per year and
this pays for 1856 papers. We offer il
and this paper together one year for
81 80 in this county. The regular sub
scription price of the two papers Is 81.

OBITUARY.


Robert James Bowles, who died in
Weybridge. Dec. 81 1903, of pneumonia,
was born in Port Kent, n. Y. in 1913.
His home was afterward in Keeseville,
n. Y, and it was from the latter place
he came to Weybridge at the age of
twenty He was, before his first mar
riage, in the employ of j. b. Cherbino,
why lived on the farm now owned by
Mr.. Hamilton.
His first marriage was to Miss Narcissa
Ketch, of Weybridge, March 81, 1870
For several years they lived first across
the Fair on the Judson Wright farm,
then on the place in Weybridge now
owned bylJ. d. Hayward, finally settling
upon the farm owned by Mr.. Bowles at
the time of his death. Two children of
this marriage survive, Samuel j. Bowles
of Cornwall, and Mrs. Henry ID. Fearing,
of Amherst Mass.
Mr.. Bowles was a man who COM
manded the respect and esteem of all
who knew him on account of the sim
cerity and uprightness of his Christian
character and the soundness of his judg-
pent in business affairs. His influence
was exerted for good in the political
affairs of his town, and he was chosen
as representative in the legislature of
1900. He was at the time of his death a
member of the prudential committee of
the first Ecclesiastical Society of Wey-
bridge, and had been for several years
one of the deacons of the Congregational
church, which he joined in 1875.
His estimable wife, who survived him
but five days, died of the same disease
on the eth Of December. She was Miss
Harriet Eugenia Bowdish, native of
Weybridge, forty-five years of age.
Their marriage was solemnized, Oct. IA,
1891. Three young children, Ruth,
Mary and Paul, have been orphaned by
these sad occurrences. Another, son,
Herman, died in infancy. Mrs. Bowles,
was person of very genuine Christian
character, but quiet and retiring in her
ways. She was devoted to her husband
and children, and lived life which was
content to find its purpose and its joy in
fidelity to the duties of her home. TAX
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Bowles together, they
were the sort of people who are bless
ing to the community and the church
because of their Christian profession and
the Christian spirit of their lives. Both
church and community keenly feel then
loss.

May health, happiness and prosperity
visit and stay with every household in
this commonwealth which l love so well
and which has honored me so much.
May her enterprises increase, her hedge
hogs grow less, her prison cells become
empty and may her politicians and all
her people learn that the sons of other
states who come to her are as deserving
of recognition as her own sons. As /
turn the leaf my resolve is that | shall
do all in my power to elevate the state
and her conditions and shall ever be
grateful for what she has done for
me-"

CUT IN M EATS.
Retail Prices of Pork and Beef Are
Lower

Kansas City. Dec. 31-The reduction in
the price of beef and pork, which has
been affecting the farmers interests for
months. has gradually found its way to
the consumer. Butchers are now selling
meat cheaper than a month ago. and the
down town butchers have made reduc-
lions that in the aggregate will be of
some advantage to the buyer.
The medium grades of bacon that
brought II cents early in December are
sold for Is cents a yound now. Fresh
pork shoulders that the consumer paid
10 cents pound for in November can
be bought for s cents today. The 90
cent steaks are sold for 171k cents and
the 15-cent steak brings from 10 to 10
per cent less than a month ago. The
same rule applies TO other meats. making
the average reduction in the price to the
consumer approximate a little more than
10 per cent.
Butchers say it was the independent
killers that caused the reduction. Regular
customers would stop buying meat for
week at a time. The butcher would on
der what had happened and discover that
the customer had bought meat in Quanti
ties from the independent butcher. Then
the butcher on the corner would himself
place an order with the independent
slaughter house and the packer would no.
tice some little falling of in sales to
the home butcher. 1t did not take long
for the packer TO begin making induce
ments to the butcher TO quit the indie
pendent slaughter house. and the butcher
in turn found that he must make some
concession TO the consumer
Gradually the prices have been forced
down, and If the retail dealer in the sub
urbs has not made a reduction TO CORE

price of neat he can easily be persuaded
