stranger recently in town gave Rev.
Mr.. Meacham, pastor OF the Baptist
church, a generous sum OF money to

The temperance Sunday school lesson
last Sunday at the Baptist church was
made interesting at the Sunday schooi
session by talk from the pastor in which
he said many good things on the license
question, and OF the great harm OF the
soft drinks which were only stepping
stones to intoXicants. He also spoke OF
the evil effects OF the use OF tobacco to
the young, not only TO health but to intel
lect. We wish the words spoken might
be helpful to the young who are forming
the habit OF using the noxious weed.

record behind him which would be we'll
worth copying for those who came after
him to attend the seminary.
+. II. Fessenden was on his way to
Newfane one day last week and as he ap-
preached the Howe crossing the cars came
along. He stopped his horse for the train
to pass, not thinking that II would mind
| any more about the cars than II had done
on former occasions, but for some cause
the horse was afraid backed and turned
around, throwing Mr. Fessenden upon the
| frozen ground, but the horse did not get
away and quieted down at once. Mr.
Fessenden received some bruises on the
face, but was not injured In other re-
| spects Fortunately two men were pass
Ing at the time Of the accident and they
kindly assisted Mr.. Fessenden In getting
things to rights, so that he was able to go
on to Newfane and transact the business
| for which he had planned. At the present
| time he is apparently as well as ever with
the exception Of the bruises upon his face.
Relatives here have received copies Of
the Beloit, Kansas, Daily Call, which
| spoke In the highest terms of the quail
ties which distinguished Newell II. White,
who died in that city several weeks ago.
Mr. White was born in Putney Feb. 12
| 1888, and spent his boyhood days there.
| He moved to Massachusetts, where he
married Nov, 10, 1867, Miss Ann Liver
more. Following is from the Beloit Call:
This union was blessed by one daughter,
Mrs. N. II. Gilhllan. who has always made
her home with her parents, and who,
with her mother, is left to bear the sad
| bereavement. 1t was in the year 1880
that Mr.. White first came TO Kansas, at
which time he purchased the fine bottom
| farm just south OF Beloit, and where he
| has since made his home. In 1881 his
family followed him. Besides his rela-
tives and a host OF friends in this vicinity
Mr. White leaves to, mourn his departure
