Great. Great Grandmother.


Mrs. Honora Mccarthy of South Shafts
bury, the oldest woman in New England
and probably the oldest in this country,
died Saturday night in her 10th year.
she fell about two weeks ago, and since
then her health had failed rapidly.
Mrs Mccarthy was born in county
Kerry, Ireland, February co. 1890. There
is no doubt in regard to her age as the
parish priest a few years ago secured
copy of the parish register at her BIRTH
place. This showed that she was baptized
in February, 1890 When Mrs. Mccarthy
came to this country 60 years ago she
was already grandmother. Her hus-
band died before she left Ireland Since
coming here she had lived with her son,
Dennis Mccarthy of South SALISBURY
who is SO years old. Besides the latter
she leaves five grandchildren, many
great grandchildren and one great
great -grandchild. The latter is a son
OF Eugene Graham of Bennington, and
was born about a week ago. Most Of
Mrs. McCarthy's descendants live in Ben
nington or SALISBURY.
Mrs. Mccarthy has been very deaf for
some years though until recently her
general health had been good. When
she was los years old she walked from
her house to Bennington, five miles, to
attend church. For years previous to
that time she was familiar figure on the
streets in Bennington.
She was the oldest of Il children, the
last one, and had been a widow 60 years.

The Worst Feature Of the Law.
[Northfeld News.l

The anti-treating clause in the original
local-option law was founded on 4 correct
theory, notwithstanding the fact that 1t
was so impracticable as to warrant its re-
peal by the next legislature, but what
excuse there could have been for pro-
hibiting the sale of soft drinks and cigars
in saloons, II 1t is finally decided that
this amendment means what it says, is
beyond conception. Such prohibition will
only have a tendency to increase liquor
drinking, once a man is inside the saloon.
The st. Adams Messenger is right in the
opinion that this clause will do positive
harm and more than once stand in the
way OF a well-meaning fellows attempts
to keep sober"
