 Hon H. o. Averill felt obliged, the | latter part of the week, to confine himself at home, with a bronchial trouble.
 Mrs Durwood E. Granniss presented her husband, early on Thursday morn ing of last week, with baby daugh- ter, but few hours after birth the child showed symptoms of valvular heart trouble and died early Thursday evening. It was buried in the ceme- tery on Saturday morning. MT and Mrs GranniSs have the sympathy of all their friends at this time of be- reavement.
 H. w. Brown has been confined at his cottage, the last week, by an at- tack of grip.
 remains about the same. She is very weak. Her brother, Lyman Avery, is with her and proves to be an efficient nurse and man of all work for, r,the occ caSiOn.
 Mrs o. G. Carlson was cor her home all of last week wi were cold.
 K. J. Hosford as postmaster been obliged to make an advance D on all the postoffice boxes, which L. cessitates it's patrons to pay at least 50 1 per cent more than formerly. At this price they are not as high as 30 years ago but still some will complain, for it | is so hard to get accustomed to higher | rates. Sixty cents or S1.O0 year is l not big price to see your mail in | pOStofflce box every day of the year and so much better than to wait for | ho In 1nnk hn | al delivery.

 usual, with no complaint, unless he
 was asked about it.

 | c. B. Anderson, on tthe Williams
 farm, has been unable to work as uSua

 kindly assisted him in his barn, witt
 the dairy, etc., and it is hoped his re
