For every pounds OF plums after they
have been stoned use pounds OF sugar
and ! quart of water. Put sugar and
water in the kettle and boil until it looks
clear, say five minutes, then add the
plums and boil for three quarters Of an
hour, then pour into jars or tumhlers.
This makes good firm clear jam.

OBITUARY.

The funeral service of Mrs, Lula Lunt
was held at her home at Beech Cliffs on
Wednesday of last week, the Rev. Horace
Leayitt, OF this place, officiating. The
service was made very impressive and his
words were most comforting TO the be-
resved family. particularly TO the hus-
band and little daughter, whose loss is
greatest.
Mrs. Lunt had been in poor health for
several years. few months ago she
went through an operation at the Maine
general hospital, Portland. Since her re-
turn her health has apparently been i'm
proving, until three weeks ago, when she
was taken violently Ill with brain fever.
Everything was done that human know
ledge could devise, but the Master called
her home.
Mrs. Lunt was an unusually attractive
person possessing many qualities that 20
to make a true woman. The thought OF
the community is expressed in these
words:
"None knew her hist TO love her,
None named her but TO praise"
