Woman Is Always Ready To Humbly Confess Her Faults VIII
THE LATE A. p. CHILDS.
Announcement Of His Death Was Great Shock
to His Friends.

The announcement Tuesday of the
death of A p Childs, came as shock
to the people who had no thought that
he was i'll, as when he was last here he
was in his usual good health to all ap.
pearances. Mr. Childs had been for
nearly thirty years identified with the
business interests of the village and
was always a worker on the side OF
every project that had for its aim the
best interests of Bennington.
Years ago during the graded school
agitation he was one of the hardest
workers for It's success and establish
ment and lived to see it become one OF
the most successful in the state.
Socially, personally and fraternally
he was liked by all who knew him and
although strong partisan he had re.
spect for the opinions and feelings OF
othersr
But few men Of Bennington would be
missed more than Mr. Childs. He was
friend to the poor, always willing
and ready to help one in distress and
to many his name will long be cherish
ed
Mr. Childs was az active GAR com.
rade and it was largely throughs hi
efforts that the local post became as
prosperous as it is He was a 33d
degree mason, Knight of Pythias
and a SAR.
a few years ago he donated to the
toNn of Wilmington soldiers monu
ment and one of his last befactions
was the gilt OF grant drinking
fountain to the village of Castletor
where for the last four years he had
made his home He was genial. com
panionable, always in good humor-
and those who knew him best will long
remember the many good qualities Of
Asaph = Childs.

Popular Hit at Library Hall Next Tuesday
Evening
The Attleboro Sun states that My
Friend Hogan played here last night
TO one of the largest houses Of the sea
son. Only standing room could be
had long before the curtain went up
and judging from the way the audience
applauded, My Friend Hogan was a
decided success. Miss Ivia Holliston
who made such hit here last season
retained her reputation as comedi-
enne and her latest success "Haye you
Seen My Henry Brown" was the hit
of the evening.
Mr. Holmes aud Mr. Earle the male
stars OF the play shared the honors
and were heartily applauded for their
clever work. Miss Marie Bartlett who
PLAYS the part OF Prudence Cute look
ing for husband was uproariously
funny and played the part to the salts
faction of the large audience. The
balance OF the company was up to the
standard My Friend Hogan although
new play to the theatre goers of At

and will always be welcome.
