Charles Henry Berry.

In the death of Charles Henry Berry,
which occurred Jan. 9th, Buckfield loses
one of it's most valued representatives of
a former generation. He was member
of one of the old sterling families of
Buckfield, his grandfather, Dea. Will
liam Berry, being an early settler, a
Revolutionary soldier and prominent
man of affairs in the early days of the
town. His father was Dea. Obadiah
Berry, who resided during his whole life
of IS years in this town, prosperous
farmer and a prominent churchman.
Charles Henry was born in Bucktield
March 20, 1924, and was therefore almost
So at his decease. When young he learn
ed the trade of cabinet maker of Dea
Kicker of Livermore, and subsequently
worked several years in Massachusetts,.
He then settled in Auburn, engaging in
furniture making, working many years
with Jonathan Raynes. He married
Cynthia S. Harris of Danville, (now Au-
burn) and identified himself with the
progressive interests of the town, becom-
ing q member of the High Street Con-
gregational church, his membership con-
tinuing until the time of his death. His
aged parents requiring his filial care be,
forty-seven years ago, returned to his
native town, which has since been his
continued place of residence. He be-
came a prosperous farmer, has often
been called to serve the people as q
town officer and was a we'll beloved and
respected citizen. For the past year
he has been in failing health, and short
time ago he experienced a shock from
which he failed to recover.
His surviving family consists of his
wife and two children, Charles F., with
whom he resided, and Ida B., wife Of
Hon. Oscar 81. Hersey of Portland. He
was buried from his home Sunday, Jan.
I, Rev. W. d. Athearn officiating clergy
man. The occasion was remarkable
for the attendance of aged people.

LITTLE POCKET. PHYSICIAN

HYoMEI INHALER THAT IS GUARANTEED
BY F. A. sHURTLEFF q CO. TO CURE
CATARRH.
Thousands who have been cured by
Hyomei, call the inhaler that comes with
every outfit "The little pocket physi-
cian," as 1t IL 80 small that 1t can be
carried in the pocket or purse.
Prior to the discovery OF Hyomei,
statistics showed that at least 81 out OF
every 100 persons In this state were suf-
fering from catarrh in some form. The
remarkable results following the use OF
Hyomei are shown by the smaller per-
centage to-day of people suffering from
catarrh.
There is really no excuse whatever
for anyone having catarrh now that Hy-
omei Is 80 readily obtainable. If you
have any doubts about its value, r. A.
Shurtleff & Co. will let You have com.
plete outfit with the understanding that
unless 1t cures catarrh, 1t will not cost
you cent.
A complete Hyomei outfit consists OF
"the little pocket physician" medicine
dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei, and
costs but 81, while additional bottles of
Hyomei can be procured for 30 cents,
making it the most economical, as well
as the most reliable treatment for the
cure of catarrh.
Do not delay longer the use Of Hyomei,
If you have catarrh. This is q purely
local disease, and Hyomei goes right to
the spot where the catarrhal germs are
present, destroys them, soothes and
heals ali inflammation, and makes per-
manent and lasting cure.

DR.. A. L. Hersey.

DIR. A. L. Hersey of Oxford, one of the
best known of the older physicians of
Oxford County, and one of the most
highly respected citizens of his town,
died on Friday, Jan. II, at the home of
his daughter, Miss Heloise E. Jersey, in
Boston. Death was due to cerebral
hemorrhage, and his illness was only
two days in duration.
DR.. Hersey was a native of Livermore,
where he was born March II, 1926. His
early education was acquired in the
schools Of Livermore and at the Oxford
Normal Institute in South Paris. When
twenty-four years of age he began the
study of medicine. He graduated from
the Maine Medical School in 1858, and at
once located in Oxford, where he has
ever since remained. His practice, until
advancing years necessitated lessening
of his work, was large, and his patients
reposed in him even more than the
customary confidence accorded ply
stefan. He was gentleman OF scholar
ly mind and attachments, interested in
educational matters, and was superin-
tendent of schools in Oxford for many
years.
DIR. Hersey married Heloise a., daugh-
ter of Hon. Jairus S. Keith of Oxford.
Mrs. Hersey died only few years since.
They had one daughter, Miss Heloise E:
Jersey, now prominent educator and
author in Boston, at whose home he
died.
The funeral will be held at Oxford on
Tuesday, at p. NJ.

Fryeburg Academy.

Vera Cameron, one of the students Of
the academy, has entered the Globe con-
test and her votes now number nearly
three thousand. Any aid to enlarge this
number of votes will be kindly received.
The senior drama is under way and
will probably be presented about the
first of February.
A very enjoyable evening was spent in
Academy Hall Tuesday evening, Jan.
9. The social was given by the entire
school, thus making possible the fine
treat of ice cream and cake which was
served during the evening. Music was
furnished by Jackson's orchestra.
Cleo Wentworth, former student of
the academy, is now teaching at Bemis,
Maine, but expects to resume her studies
at the academy in the spring.
Mr.. Newman, the teacher OF manual
training, will spend two or three weeks
this winter in Boston in a school devot-
ed to the preparation of teachers in

Hazel Robinson Scores High .
FRIENDS ALL OVER MAINE WANT HER
TO WIN GLOBE EDUCATIONAL CONTEST.

Here is little 12-year-old Maine girl,
whose heart is set on college education,
and who means to get it through the
kindness of the people of her state, if
those who have not pledged their sup
port elsewhere will send her their
coupons in the Boston Globe contest.
Her name is Hazel Robinson and she
lives in York. She is one of twins In a
family of five children, and her parents
are hardworking and deserving people.
Little Hazel is wonderfully bright, at
tractive and capable, ranks high in the
grammar school, and promises rare men,
tai development. She is receiving the
support of everybody who knows her,
not only in recognition of her deserving
qualities, but unhappily because she Is
handicapped in life as the result OF scar
let fever few years ago when she was
left helpless little cripple, and she will
never be able to take step without the
aid of crutches. This fact she does not
mean shall stand in the way of her future
usefulness If she is only able to obtain
an education, and the strength of pur-
pose and cheerfulness she maintains Is
worthy of most sincere admiration.
BY all means If you have no other use
for your Globe coupons cut this out to
remember the address and send them to
Hazel Robinson in York.

Power Development at Gilead.

1t is expected that during the coming
summer large work Of power develop
ment will be carried out on the Andres
coggin River at Gilead. Parties in Ber-
lin, N. H., have acquired title to the
Coffin farm and considerable other land
along the river. One report is that the
Berlin Mills Co. is behind the deal. A
dam will be built this year, it is expect
ed. With the titles already acquired it
will be possible to develop about 1000
horse power, while by acquiring more
flowage, q total of about 5000 horse
power can be developed if desired.
1t is the understanding at Gilead that
pulp mill will be built there to use the
power.
The report is that the contract to build
the dam, head works, canal, etc., has al
ready been awarded, and that work will
begin as early as possible in the spring.
Gilead bids fair to be lively place
next summer,

THE GRIP.

"Before we can sympathize with
others, we must have suffered ourselves. :"
No one can realize the suffering attend
ant upon an attack of the grip, unless
he has had the actual experience. There
Is probably no disease that causes so
much physical and mental agony, or
which so successfully defles medical aid.
All danger from the grip, however.
may be avoided by the prompt use OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Among
the tens of thousands who have used
this remedy, not one has ever been re-
ported that has resulted in pneumonia
or that has not recovered. For sale by

DANGERS OF A COLD AND HOW
TO AVOID THEM.

More fatalities have their origin in or
result from a cold than from any other
cause. This fact alone should make
people more careful as there is no dan
ger whatever from a cold when it Is
properly treated in the beginning. For
many years Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has been recognized as the most
prompt and effectusl medicine in use for
this disease. 1t acts on natures plan,
loosens the cough, relieves the lungs,
opens the secretiOns and aids nature in
restoring the system to healthy condi-
ton. For sale by r. A. Shurtleff & Co.,

A Narrow Escape from a Train Wreck

A Narrow Escape from q Train wreck.
The passengers on the east-bound
train Thursday afternoon, commonly
known as "the express" may congratu-
late themselves on the slight couse-
quences of an accident which happened
to their train. A journal broke ON one
of the trucks under the tender of the
locomotive. The engineer knew of
nothing wrong until he attempted to put
on the air brakes at the South Paris
station. They failed to work, and the
train shot by the station at high speed,
and ran down nearly out of the yard
before it could be stopped.
Investigation showed that the truck
frame dropped on to the track near the
Gothic Street crossing. That it should
drag over the ice, ties and planks of the
track, over frogs and switches, for half
mile, without derailing the train or
causing a serious accident, is most re-
markable. As it was, nothing left the
rails; but it was necessary to use the
engine of freight train which was in
the yard to pull the train away from the
wrecked tender, and it was with con-
siderable care and difficulty that the
tender was backed up and got on to tue
siding, to clear the main line. A wreck
ing train was sent from Portland to put
new truck under the tender.
An engine was sent from Mechanic
Falls to take the passenger train into
Portland, but it was delayed here about
an hour and half, not getting away
until after six o'clock.
This train runs on a fast schedule, and
If the break had occurred between sta
tions while running at full speed, it
would have been likely to make itself
known by bad smash-up.
