In the recent death of Capt. Lewis
Bisbee, the town of Sumner has lost one
of its old landmarks that will be greatly
missed. Probably no man that ever
lived in town was so we'll informed in
it's early settlement and relative history
as he. His father and grandfather be-
fore him had lived in town nearly the
greater part of their lives and were i'm.
portant factors in its early days. The
farm upon which they lived has been oc
cupied by the Bisbee family over 12(
years. Some of the sixth generation
are now residing on the place in the
family of l.. b. Spaulding. Capt. Bis
bee was we'll and favorably known by
very large circle of acquaintance. HI
had; in years past, served his native
town ably and faithfully as one of it,
municipal officers, and also as represent
alive to the state legislature. At home
or abroad or when serving the town, hi
characteristic honesty, kindness and in
tegrity always was apparent. He wa
always at the front in moral reforms
being an ardent Republican and strong
temperance man. He was also firm il
his religious convictions and his Chris
tian virtues shone in his private ant
public life. He lived to the ripe old aga
of 90 years and two days. His memor.
will long be kept fresh by all that knew
him.

ONLY A MASK.

Many are not being benefited by the
summer vacation as they should be-
Now, Notwithstanding much outdoor
life, they are little if any stronger than
they were. The tan on their faces is
darker and makes them look healthier,
but it is only mask. They are. still
nervous, easily tired, upset by triles,
and they do not eat nor sleep well.
What they need is what tones the nerves,
perfects digestion, creates appetite,
and makes sleep refreshing, and that is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Pupils and teach
ers generally will find the chief purpose
of the vacation best subserved by this
great medicine, which, as we know,
"builds up the whole system"
