HENRY HARRISON PENN.


 Thursday noon the people of this place were shocked to learn of the death of Henry Harrison Fem, who died at the family dome on North Main street, after a brief illness. MT Fenn was taken ill Tuesday afternoon and grew rapidly worse until the end. Henry Harrison Fem was born at Roxbury, May 6, 1856. His early life was spent in that town. He came to Port Byron in 1883 and at once took prominent place in the business cir cles of the town, conducting hard ware store with J. D. Burritt and la ter with B. k. Lathrop. MT Fem was one of the higher order of men who believe the performance of duty to be an essential to perfect manhood. He was, though of retiring diSpoSi- tiOn, a courageous man and was al ways true to his convictions. Ever courteous, cheerful and tenderly sym pathetic, he won and retained friends. A Christian gentleman, loving and generous husband has gone to his re- ward. The enrire community mourn his loss. Beside the widow, two daughters survive. They are Miss Vera Belle Fenn and Miss Fanny Ma

What are you doing for
 the cold?

It may wear of, but the chances are it will leave you with something you'll have bother in getting rid of. Coughs are natures warning signals. They tell you to do something for the relief of the suffering membranes or some thing will do you. Inflamed mem braneS, irritated and swollen glands stiff necks, clOgged bronchial tubes pains in the chest, sore lungs, disgust ing Spittle, nasal disorders and diff cult breathing, are but a few of the first symptoms of common colds. As the disease progresses the appetite away. Linonine will cure colds at any stage. It not only loosens the tfghtness and breaks up the cold but it builds up the body and puts new blood into the veins.
 People with throat and lung trOu- bleS are nOtOriOuSly adverse to fatty foods. The difficulty of digeSting fats in their solid form, such as ordinarily found in beef and other animal tissue, is no doubt the cause of this aversion. But fats are essential to health. Waste must be prevented and animal heat furnished. LinOnine supplies the waste of adipose tissues which is lost in such diseases as colds, bronchitis, la grippe, scrofula, levers, etc., fur nishing the oil from flax which is rich in albumen and flax. It is especially recommended in these diseases because of the ease with which it is digeSted and she entire absence of disagreeable after tastes. Linonine is quickly and thoroughly absorbed into the blood, facilitates digestion, regulates the bowels and promotes appetite. It is of surpassing benefit as builder and is agreed ble to every function, because of it's great diffusive power and certain absorption.

7 SOCIAL ENTERTAINMENT.

The Christ Church Choral Club will hold the second of it's social gatherings at Good Templar's hall on Wednesday evening, November 8, at 8 o'clock. The entertainment will be similar to the one given in September, short music al program occupying about one hour, followed by dancing and a supper. Considerable regret was expressed by the friends of the organization, that at the entertainment in September the club did not sing at least one number. This apparent omission is explained by the fact that the club is young. having been organized in June last, and as it's primary object is to supply the music for the services in Christ church, no time could be spared to take up any thing secular. Hence it is a pleasure to announce that on the Sth the club will sing a lullaby by Leslie Heller, "The Red Sun is Sinking" as sample of what has been accomplished. The writer has had tip that the commit tee having the supper arrangements ir hand propose to beat their previous eff fort, which was record breaker. YOu can't beat Quaker Farms cooks.
