GREENFIELD HILL.
DEATH OF MRS D. B. BRADLEY.

OHA1d m HS Ds b. OhA DAE1s
 Sarah M. Bradley, wife of Daniel Burr Bradley, ST., succumbed to a stroke of apoplexy, Sunday morning, at her home in the West Long Lots district of Greens Farms, at the age of 75 years. The end came with great suddenness and the shock was crush ing one to her many friends who could scarcely realize that one who was so dearly beloved by all had indeed been taken from them. Although Mrs Bradley lived just outside the limits of Greenfield parish, she was one of us by mutual acquaintance and friend ship and her death will be lamented here quite as much as in the narrow confines of her own church circle. For many years both she and her husband have been valued members of the Greens Farms Congregational church, her fraternal, christian spirit, not the outward show of unSelfShnesS, but the real sweetness of disposition and hearty good fellowship bringing her into con- fdential relations with those in need of sympathy or friendly aid. In the neighbOrhOod where she has lived so long, her unassuming charities are best known. Here the essence of her beau tiful life has shed it's sweetest per fume. No voice of criticism is heard to mar the harmony of praise. The testimony Of those to whom she has carried the message of love and sympa- thy in their hour of trial will best pro- nounce her eulogy. The children left to mourn thelos of a devoted mother are Mrs R. H. Coley, William H. Brad ley and Judge D. B. Bradley, Jr., all of Westport, and Mrs w. F. Elwood of Southport. The funeral was held from her late home, Wednesday afternoon at l. 30 o'clock. Rev Carlton B. Stray CT of the Greens Farms Congregation al church Off1ciated.

 TREATMENT AND GUARANTEE A
 CURE FOR TwENTY-FIvE GENTS.
 Betts & Betts, the popular and reli- able druggists, have made arrange ments with the Dr AmeS Medicine cOmpany-whereby they can sell their wOrld-famOuS and pleasant remedy for the cure of constipation, dyspepsia and biliousness, at half-price for limited time.
 This concession means that those who now suffer all the bangs of these distressing maladieS can be relieved of pain and enabled to eat anything they supply before Betts & Betts' time runs out, for they cannot continue to sell at half price much longer.
 Dr AmeS' Specific is pleasant pei let, and unlike any other medicine for dyspepsia and constipation it is not necessary to keep up the full treatment for long time, but the dose is gradu- ally decreased after the first few days and the cure is permanent.
 Take advantage of Betts & Betts' offer and if you do not find relief they will return the money. It's not often druggists have confidence enough in a medicine not put up Dy themselves to do this, but Dr Ames Specific assures them that there is not a half dozen cases in this vicinity that it will not cure permanently.
 If you belch wind, are dizzy, see specks before the eyes, have a muddy complexion, or are constipated or bill ious, you cannot afford to allow this opportunity of cure to paSS-the half price offer doesn't last much longer. Betts & Betts urge you to hasten. By mail, too.
