Deacon Higgins is modest old gen
tleman who diSlikeS to talk Of himself.
During a long and uneven fll life h.
has been content to TIL the soil and
bring up his children to walk in his
ways. He has seen the town of Thorn
dixie, from d few scattering homes, in
crease to a fully settled and well popu-
lated community of over one thousand
people, only again to witness its gradual
decline to less than five hundred people,
notwithstanding the advent of rail
road and the building of village at
the station.
He has seen all of the families scatter
and new names have been placed on the
poll list where in the old days appeared
so many Whitneys, Philbricks, MortonS,
Moultons, Paysons, Smiths, Pease, Stur-
gis, Crosses, Watsons, Gates, Spragues,
additional to those previously mention
ed. Several of the Higgins name are
found at present, but scarcely any of the
others remain. Peter Harmon, a mer-
chant at the village, represents the
large family of that name, and Daniel
Gordon, the veteran school teacher, the
large clan of Gordon. Stephen Sturgis
of that family has long been resident
of the town of Green.

M. Newcomb, Dat Hill, Napa county,
California, Sept. 18th, having lived so
years, months and - days. She was
a resident of California nineteen years,
three of which were spent in Napa
with her son, Everett M. Hill, when he
was student in Napa College. When
young girl she became member of
the Methodist Episcopal church and so
remained as long as she lived. She
was woman OF modest bearing, though
of strong character positive conviction
and tried integrity. Her love of family
and friends was genuine. No sacrifice
was too great for the service of those in
need. and OF her God, whom she loved
supremacy. Mrs. Hill was twice mar
ried. First to Mr.. Jedediah New
comb. To them were born three chill
dren, two of whom still live, namely,
B. NJ. Newcomb of Dat Hill and Mrs.
J. p. Munger of Berkeley, Her second
was with Mr.. Isaac Hill. Three chill
dren were born of this alliance, two of
whom survive, namely, Charles E.
Hill of Negleigh, Nebraska, and Rev.
Everett NJ. Hill Of the City of Mexico.

terests of the Methodist church. There
are nine grand children. One of these,
Earlbert Newcomb, was present at her
funeral and who lovingly and sacrific-

illness. Her life was we'll spent. She

WORRY AND OvERWORK.

The Cause of Many Cases of De bility. DIR
Williams Pink Pills Restore Health and
Spirits. How Building up the Blood
Strengthens the Nerves and Maks People
Cheerful and Vigorous.
General debility is caused by mental or
physical overwork with imperfect assimila-
ton of nourishment, or by some acute dis
ease from which the vital forces have been
Frustrated and the entire organism weaken
so as not to easily rally. To restore health
it is necessary that the blood should be
purified and made new. This DR.. Williams
Pink Pills do. They actually make rich,
new blood, which goes to all parts of the
body. They are the most logical remedy
and best tonic for all diseases OF the blood
and nerves.
The case of Mrs. E. NJ. Spear of 80 Mt.
Pleasant street, Athol, Mass, is a common
one and is given here in order that others
may be benefited by her experience. She
says: 81 had been sick for year from in
digestion and general debility brought on
by overWOrk and worry. l had tried many
remedies, but found no relief. l suffered
from swelling of the limbs, loss of appetite
and dizzy spells, which became so severe
towards night, that l sometimes tainted
away | was bilious and my hands and
arms would go to sleep for an hour or two
at time. 7 was so sleepy all the time that
| could hardly keep awake. l had frequent
cramps in my limbs and severe pains at the
base of my head and in my back. My blood
was impoverished. was afraid to give up
and go to bed fearing that | would never
get well.
s'About this time DR.. Williams Pink Pills
were recommended to me by friend in
South Vernon, Vt. l felt better soon after
beginning the treatment and continued
until l was entirely cured. | consider Dr.
Williams Pink Pill grand medicine for
weak women"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure general
and nervous debility because they make
new blood. They strike at the root of these
and other blood diseases, such as rheuma-
tism, anamia, indigestion and nervous
troubles, such as neuralgia, nervousness
and spinal weakness. They are guaranteed
to be free from opiates or any harmful
drugs.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on re-
cept of price so cents per box, six boxes for
$3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medicine Com

distributed by the Pinkham sons In
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, to great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used 1t

mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam

that time the growth and success OF

day Lydia E Pinkham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house.
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in it's manufacture.
Lydia e. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done 1t
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rienoe she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-reoetved
careful study, and the details, includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since. are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent vast collabora-
ton Of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be eqnaled in any library in tho
world.
With Lydis E. Pinkham worked her
daughter : in law, the present Mrs
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when its origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
Ave years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia e. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of large family. took
it up With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
pinkham continues this great work ard

person have SO many women been ad-
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-

In Is4s she married Isaac Pinkhaln,

four children, three sons and q

In the study 81 roots and herbs, their

Chief of these was a rare combina-

that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
than.
all this SO far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1878 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of4 business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop

of income had to be found.

An Iceberg Nine Miles Long.

Captain Blanchard, commanding the ship
Bangalore, which reached Philadelphia
Sept 18th from the Hawaiian Islands with
cargo of sugar, says that an iceberg nine
to ten miles long and from 700 to 800 feet in
height was passed 115 miles due south of
Cape st. John, Staten Island, South America,
on June 29th.
Captain Blanchard arrived at the length
his ship from the time one end was abeam
until the other was in a similar position,
and his statement is verified by his officers
This huge mountain of ice, containing, as
it was estimated, millions of tons, was ap-
parently aground.
With stiff breeze the Bangalore was just
one hour passing the ice island and it was
visible astern for nearly five hours, although
the wind had freshened and the ships speed
increased. This is record-breaking size
for an iceberg and no such distractions ever
get into the Atlantic where they can be seen
by passing ships.

While the sweet potatoes fry;
