FORTUNE FOR HIM.
James Wood Of Bennington Looking Up
An Inheritance.

For some time inquiries have been GO
ing on for information relative to the
location Of james Wood of Bennington,
who 1t is reported is heir to a large
fortune left in England some years ago.
According TO the statements made
James Wood was former resident of
Cohoes, engaged IN the knitting business
there, came to Bennington and for some
time was in the employ Of Charles
Cooper. The description Of him as Civ
en- BY the English solicitors corresponds
in every way with Mr.. Wood and one
Of a son Is a good description Of James
Wood. now manager Of the Squire Jew
elfy store, who BY tie death Of his IA
Their is one Of the heirs.
The aid Of Rev. Dir. johnson Of CO.
hoes was finally requesed by those
searching for the heirs, and he finally
discovered james Wood, Jr,. here and
enlightened him as TO the searching.
Or. johnson and Mr.. Wood both feel
that they have found the right heir, and
any one who has heard the story as
Mr. Wood gives it would also think and
believe SO.
Mr. Wood has written to the English
solicitors acquainting them with what
facts he can, but does not think he viii
have any reply for month. The for
tune IS said to be large one, and the
many friends of Mr.. Wood hope that
be win have no difficulty in proving his
claim as one Of the heirs.

WORKING FOR CHURCH UNITY.
Final Action Taken BY Randolph De-
nominations.

Randolph, March sl.-At the meet
ing az tho members Of the Congregation
al and Christian churches, held at the
Congregational church Wednesday even
ing for the purpose Of considering the
proposition of d union, no definite steps
were taken The same committees Of
the two churches were instructed To
continue their efforts to bring about
the union and when everything is IN
readiness to call another meeting Of
the members Of the churches for their
final decision Resolutions from the
Christian church were read, discussed,
and adopted, and the spirit Of union
is still very strong with all but three
or four members. Union seems to be
wanted, and minor matters such as
the name Of the combination causes
what little friction there is. Deacon
Horace Howard, member Of the stand
ing committee, rendered his resignation,
but the meeting was adjourned without
considering it.

Skin Diseases

ternal skin. and between the inner and ex-

the disease cannot come from the blood.

feet on these skin eruptions, for such medi-
cines cannot reach the seat of the trouble.
This class Of diseasesis caused by germ or
parasite which burrows into the external
skin, there il lives thrives and multiplies,
