The ladies' club will meet with Mrs.
Frank Downs Thursday, Dec. 81, at
o'clock p. m.
Mrs. Hiram f. Knapp, whose body was
buried here last week, lived in this town
more than half a century, previous to her
residence in Brattleboro, and won many
friends by her consistent Christian life
and her unfailing love and kindness to-
ward all persons. She was the special
friend of the poor and distressed, and
freely gave of her own life to bless others.
She was a devoted Christian. She dearly
loved her own church and her Bible. OF
the latter she could have said truly: Thy
testimony have 1 taken for a heritage,
forever; for they are the rejoicing of my
heart" She was a loving daughter, a
pure and consecrated wife, the best of
mothers, true friend, and a good neigh
Dor. She will be greatly missed, especially
by him whom infirmity has made so de-
pendent upon her loving care for many
years. yet a hall of blessed memory will
abide with us who are left behind and
light the path, as We too, journey toward
the setting sun. At the funeral E. H.
Miller sang Rock of Ages" Nearer
nay God, to Thee" and Gathering Home"
The pastor read an original poem on the
rest of the righteous, and friends brought
a great profusion of beautiful flowers, and
we laid her worn out body to rest, rejoic-
ing that it is well with the righteous.

Another Industry COMING to Town.

The industrial development OF jamaica
through the numbering and wood working
operations, on which The Phoenix COM
mented at length a few weeks ago. will
receive another impetus through the de-
cision OF the Hamburg Broom company to
move their plant here from Hamburg, Pa
The company will probably make the
change of location within a month The
supply OF hard wood in the section OF
Hamburg has become exhausted. The de-
tails for carrying on the business in
Jamaica have not been arranged. but there
are two or three propositions under con-
sideration. One is that the company buy
timberland and erect their own factory
here; the other that they contract with
some concern already here to furnish them
with material in the rough and they put
up plant to work IL. The concern will
handle 1000. 600 feet OF hard wood a year
at least and will bring a large force OF
men with them.
