WASHINGTON,

GEORGE T. SHERRY, A POPULAR REPRE-
 SENTATIVE TO THE LEGISLATURE.
 George Sperry is one of the leadin, citizens of Marbledale, a beautiful lit tie village between the hills in wha has been known as the East Aspetuck valley, one and one quarter miles iron New Preston and one and one halt miles from Lake Waramaug. MT Sperry is the eldest son of the late George A. and Nancy T. Sperry of the above mentioned village. His early education was gained here in the late G. 0. Whittlesey school and also un der the tuition and counsel of his uncle, Rev George Tomlinson, who was for many years Congregational pastor at Lockport, N. Y., and later at the present church on New Preston Hill. In 1868, MT Sperry entered Yale college, graduated from the same in 1872. He afterwards entered as part. ner with his only brother, Edward O., in the Marbledale store, continuing there for several years. He then formed partnership with his cousin, William s. Sperry, in farm section in South Dakota and also real estate in the city of Fargo. CClosing out the farm deal few years ago he has be. come interested largely with his brother in the purchase of leaf tobac- co and for several winters they have opened a sorting and casing room in Marbledale, where several hundred cases of tobacco are annually made ready for market, and it is reported the business to them has proved fiat teringly lucrative. In town affairs MT Sperry has for years taken consid- able interest in educational matters, serving on the school board during several terms and has always been welcomed, when willing, as valuable acquisition there. In politics he has always remained republican and so we'll did his party esteem him last fall as to place him in nominat tion as a candidate to represent this town (Washington) in the present Legisla- ture. MT Sperry was elected by a handsome majority and :his influence is therefore felt there with some force as an important member of the con- mittee on appropriation. Whatever he undertakes he does thoroughly and we'll, as his public course the present winter has attested. Upright in his dealings, most fair in principle, exem- plary in habit, unbiased by friend or foe, he is a most valued citizen and benefactor to all he deems right. It is to be hoped his public and private career is by no means drawing to a close.

THE END OF
 THE GRIP
REACHED AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF
 COMPLICATED TROUBLES. DEAFNESS, KISSING SOUNDS IN HEAD, STOMACH DISORDER, PALPITAT1ON
 OF HEART AND DEBILITY

| MT Newman certainly had very tough time with the grip, and 1t IS nc wonder, now that he is over 1t, that he thinks that the remedy that cured him can be beat. His case shows how pro. foundly grip poisons the system and how Obstinately it resists all ordinary efforts to eradicateit. The publication of the following interview with MI Newman will shorten the sufferings Of experiments and guide them at once tC treatment that has proved wonderful success.
 Few cases can be worse than MI Newmans s for he had head, heart and stomach troubles combined with great weakness. Speaking of his long ill. ness, he recently said:
 "The attack of grip which had eight years ago left me in very bad fix. became nearly deaf and my head ached continually and was filled with hissing and roaring sounds that were fearfully annoying. My heart huttered and had regular running away spells. My stomach was so sore could hardly I had great deal of pain in the re- zion of my liver and the doctor said that organ was enlarged. My kidneys gave me trouble. When attempted to get up after sitting while. they ached so that could hardly stand. :"
 "Didn't you give up and go to bed?" he was asked.
 "No, I simply wouldn't. My head and my back ached dreadfully, but hard as it was to stand it I wouldn't give up entirely. obstinately dragged myself about, kept growing worse and finally ran down to almost nothing."
 "What did you do to get relief?" "First l tried doctor, but he did advertiled preparations but nothing proved helpful until began to use pr Williams Pink Pills. As soon as got them knew that had at last hit the right remedy for my case. The very first box did more for me than anything else had eyer taken. l wish I had heard of them long before for they would have saved me money and suffer- ing. They proved to be just what they claim to be. They gave me relief right away and in three months they posi- lively cured me. think was scarce ly ever in better health in my life than am at present, and I feel that l cannot say too much in favor of Dr Williams Pink Pills.'
 MT William A. Newman is a well- known Camden county farmer, living at Sagrada, Missouri. His case was a severe test for any remedy, but Dr Williams Pink Pills met every re- quirement by acting directly on the blood and making that pure and rich in every element that is essential to | perfect health. Other remedies merely | drive the poison of the grip into hiding, | but Dr Williams Pink Pills drive it | out of the system. They are sold by every druggist.
