He was v years of age and was a lifelong resident of this place. He was a kind neighbor, a devoted husband and loving father, and will be greatly missed, where, in a small community, just such men are most needed. He was prominent and useful in all affairs of life, hav- ing served on the board of selectmen of the town, and had also held vari- ous other town offices. His death came as a great shock, not only to his immediate family, but to the com munity as we'll.

Later, after the church was closed, he attended the Methodist church when able. His funeral was conducted by Rev. P. s. Butler of West Woodstock, an oldtime friend and pastor of the deceased. The flu neral was held from his late home Sunday at 1 p. m and was attended by large circle of relatives and friends. He leaves an aged widow, two daughters, Mrs. M. H. Dimock and Mrs. George H.

We have something to learn from the

mental Europe is of the most primitive
type 1t is stiff and rigid, while ours is
flexible. If the delegates who visit this
country will just examine this phase In
rolling stock and learn the difference be-

have the key to economiZng on their rail-

of the immaculate Conception now located
at Somerset, Ohio. called on the District
Commissioners today and requested that
the new building of the order, in the Catho-
lis University group, and costing over
100000. be exempted from taxation Father
Meany was accompanied by Attorney
Michael ]. Colbert. who made the formal
request. citing the law pertaining to church
property and asking that the exemption
date from March /, 1905. The Commission
ers denied the request on the ground that
the building is not yet occupied as relig-
ious school. the order not having trans
ferred its headquarters from Somerset 1t
1t Is probable that the exemption will date
from the occupancy of the building as a
school.
