John Lyons, 81, one of the Oldest
residents of the town, died at his
home at South Monson Thursday

of Monsoon and Mrs. William Flebut
of Amherst. ...
The house on Frank Wood g farm
in the south part of the town, about
three miles from the village, was
badly damaged by fire Tuesday, the
10th. The SCOT in a chimney caught
fire and the dropping sparks set fire
to the shingle roof. Frank and Dwight
Peck came quickly to the assistance
of Mr.. Wood, and the three formed a
bucket brigade. The nearest water
was about % rods away, and the men
found their task almost hopeless.
They persisted, however, and saved
the house. although the roof was bad
ly damaged, most of it being burned
off.
Mrs. Margaret Merrick, widow of
Charles L. Treadwell, died at Frank
lin, N. Y, the 9th, aged 80 years

Connors, both of Monson, were mar
ried at st. Patrick's church Wednes-
day morning at 9 O'Clock. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Thomas
O'Keefe, and the wedding march was
played by Miss Mary McKenna. The

and the best man Thomas Costello.
The bride wore a dress of blue silk,
and picture hat. The bridemaid's
dress was blue nuns yelling, and she

burning from their wedding trip,
which will include New York city.

= At the town meeting last Thursday
the town appropriated $500 toward
the expense of changing the location
of the road leading out of Stafford.
Vile toward Wales, necessitated by
the to-be increased fowage of the
Staffordville reservoir. The ground
for the towns assuming a part of the
expense is that the present road is liz
need of repairs to about the extent of
the sum appropriated.

Merriok Converse, II, died at his

the 18th. The funeral was held Tues
day at his home. The burial was in
Laurel hill cemetery. He leaves
three SONS, all of this town.
1t is reported, and thought to be a
true report this time, that work on
the electric road from Stafford through
Wales to Brimfield will be commenced
as soon as the other ends of the route
are completed. A good many think
the report will be the same as other
reports have been, all talk and no
road. Why would not. such a route
pay as we'll as any of the short routes,
as it will connect two roads that are
considered paying routes. There has
been some trouble about getting the
land for the road with few, but it
is thought they will see the benefit il
will be to the town as we'll as ia
themselves. Wales is healthy town
and would be busy one if it could
be reached without a ten-mile ride to
meet a train. We are not going to
give up all hopes until the owner of
the route says ct am not going to
build the road" Then we hope he
will change his mind.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Ac-
cording to the monthly report of
the Comptroller of the Currency
seven new banks with capital ag
gregating 81, ,205, 900 were organ
lied in the Southern States dur
ing the month of August. The
total number organized in the
United States during the month
was thicty-three with a total of
81, 800, 900 capital. These figures
show that the Southern States
during that month had larger
addition to their national bank
capital than all the other sections
of the country combined. Since
the passage of the act of March
"A. 1900, permitting the organi-
zation of national banks with
less than $4,000 capital in small
towns there have been organ
lied in the South a total of 776
national banks with capital ag-
gregating S42, ,953, 500, figures ex-
ceeded only by those for theMid-
die Western States in which Sec
ton there were organized 832

THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
Try Now the Ways of Yore and Sec
How You Like Them.

Try Now the Ways or 1ore Ino sec
How You Like Them.
Good old times, says the San Antonio
Light, are delusion and snare, and
the man who sighs for them has little
conception Of what they were. Return
to them, would you? Then rise on a
cold morning and wash at the pump,
pull on a pair Of rawhide boots that
rival a tin can N stiffness, pull on q
woolen shirt over your back and sit
down to a bare meal with your three
legged stool dancing around on split
slab floor, eat corn pone and bacon
for a steady diet and labor fourteen
hours out Of twenty-four. Go without
a daily paper, fly screen, mosquito
bar, a spring mattress, a kerosene
lamp, geehaw your oxen to market
and sit on the foor Of an OK cart as
you wend your way to church or a
frolic. Parch corn and peas for coffee
and sassafras for tea and see how you
like it.
The old days are looked backward to
affectionately, says the Galveston
News, because they were the days OF
our youth, Of bounding blood and sup
pie joints, the days Of hope and the
days Of love and laughter and song.
The days Of the present will be the
good old days Of the coming generation
and will be regarded by our successors
as rather crude in customs and harsh
in many ways, yet withal not to be de-
spised. The progressives Of our age
are the mossbacks Of later eras. Fifty
years hence we will be accounted as
slow and immature as we now regard
those Of half a century ago.

STAG LEGENDS.
Ancient Stories Of the Animals An
tipathy to Snakes.

Ancient Stories Of the Animals An
tipathy to Snakes.
There is no beast in the world to
which more legendary virtues are at
tributed than the stag, partly owing
TO the tale Of st. Hubert, partly to a
supposed antipathy Of stays toward
serpents, partly to peculiar mass Of
gristle in the shape Of cross which
is found il the animals heart. A
whole book might be written on the
miraculous power Of the heart and the
efficacy Of different parts Of him
against the troubles of this evil world.
Fouilloux, in the sixteenth century,
gives a long list, and Master Robert
Topsel fills page upon page with tnem'
but our author in his solid EnShsn
fashion is chary Of accepting sucn
stories.
Men say, be admits, that when a
stag is right old he beateth a serpent
with his foot till she be Wroth, and
then eateth her, and then goeth to
drink, and then runneth hither and
thither till the water and venom be
meddled together, and maketh him cast
all his evil humors that he had in bis
body, and maketh his flesh come all
anew. But, be adds, with the solemnity
Of Herodotus himself, Thereof make /
none affirmation" And this phrase
occurs again and again, for the Comte
de Folk is too great and noble hunter
that any assertion of his should be
laughed at.-AIacmillan's Magazine.

THOUGHTLESs TRAPPERS.
Torture 70 Animals and Ruthless
Destruction Of Game.

Torture TO Animals and Ruthless
Destruction OF Game.
People who have not seen can form
no idea Of the suffering trappers cause
nor Of their ruthless destruction Of
game. Nothing escapes them. Even the
squirrels are sacrificed to bait traps
for marten and fisher, and not only the
squirrels, but all kinds Of birds, wheth-
er game or song birds.
In trapping mink, otter, beaver and
a few other fur bearing animals the
trap is nearly always set near the
water, where the animal when caught
can drown itself, thus ending its suf-
fering.
But with bear, marten and fisher it is
different The bear must drag heavy
clog about until it catches in some root
or bush. There be must wait until the
trapper comes to kill him, and this in
some cases is not for days. The bones
Of the leg are almost Invariably broken
by the trap, and the leg swells to in
credible Size One trapper In one day
shot nineteen large blue grouse merely
to try new rife. The birds were nest
ing. He had no use for them, and not
one did he even bring to camp.
Years ago in British Columbia an old
trapper camped near our bear hunting
party. He shot everything be could
find, even little ducks and marmots. A
goat he killed fell over cliff, and as
it was harder to recover it than to shoot
another he shot another. He was
trapping beaver out Of season and
boasted Of having caught one that was
about to become mother.
I have seen the spot where bear
fast in trap had been caught for more
than a week in a thicket through which
it was impossible to drag the trap and
clog. T once knew an old French trap
per who shot seventy-three moose and
elk in one winter for bear bait for the
spring catch. asked why he killed so
many. BE said that be wanted a big
stink in the spring so as to bring the
bears around. All Of the animals be
had slaughtered for spring stink were
shot with revolver, for they were
snow bound and could not escape. BE
told me that he dropped five big elk in
one pile. This frightfuI destruction by
trappers has exterminated the game

The election IS over and every
body should feel a sense of re-
lief. The people have spoken,
and their will, for all practical
purposes, has been recorded,
and by that record we all must
stand. In all political campaigns
there are things said and done,
which could have been left un-
said and undone: many methods
were resorted to which should
have been discountenanced, but
it is all over now, and so far as
we are concerned we shal! not
be discouraged in our continued
labors for a purified primary.
We shall ever feel under crate
full obligations to those VINO
cave us their encouragement
and support in our efforts to
maintain a principle-a princi-
pie which we shall always strive
for-Local Self Government,
There are many who did not
support US, who favor this prin-
clple, but were led to vote against
it by partisan politics; there is
a strong hope within US that
those who were misled will yet
learn that principle is far high
er and nobler than narrow par
tisan politics, and will learn from
experience the ways of politi-
clans who have no regard for
principle, butanything to win; the
welfare Of the country is not IN
their line of consideration, office
seeking and ofice-getting is all
they want, and any means will
be resorted to for gratifying
their desires. The day will come
when those who fight for prin-
ciple will be entrusted with pub
lie affairs, and the professional
politician whose only thought is
self viii be relegated to scorn
