When speaking of snow and cold
weather in our last, We little thought
the same subject would come up again
for notice week hence, but so it is,
and that shows us how little is known of
the future. Tuesday and Wednesday
mornings both came in with snow
squalls, and Thursday morning the
ground was again white with frost, and
it is thought the strawberry crop must
be much damaged if not ruined, as 1t has
been several seasons in the past.
Grass is looking we'll, and should
there be sufficient moisture in the
future good crop of hay will be har-
vested.
A string of trout was brought in re-
Gently, the largest weighing three and
one-quarter pounds. Report says others
have been caught weighing trihe more.
Mrs. Bessie (Whitman) Ring and Mrs.
hucretia (Cole) Swan are on the sick

Lying before us on the table is Malte-
Bruins Geography, bearing the date of
1885, and on page PAS we find this brief
mention of that celebrated missionary,
Rev. Adoniram Judson:
ut was during the above mentioned
war that Mr.. Judson, an American
missionary, was imprisoned at Ava,
whore he suffered the greatest distress.
This was alleviated by the affectionate
courage of his wife, whose devotion to
the cause of piety and humanity, amid
the greatest dangers and trials, affords
one Of the most interesting narratives
ever published"
We we'll remember hearing father read
that sketch and give some information
in connection with 1t, and ever since that
time We have been much interested in
everything pertaining to that devoted
family.

Johns Letter.

There came By post from stranger
hand card bearing the Maiden Station,
Mass, pOstmArk. On the card is q
picture of the birthplace Of Rev. Adon-
IRAN Judson, and these written words:
"This historic and interesting landmark, with
its majestic old trees. stands on the Main Street
of the city Of Maiden, Mass, . picturesque and
restfui oasis in the desert of the city. The old
fashioned knocker ID stlll on the door, euggess'
ing an Invitation to enter the sacred precincts.
FROM AN0rHER ADAIRER.
Evidently this was called out by some
thing we wrote ,of the Judsons few
weeks ago, which goes to show that the
Democrat cuts loose from away down
East and gets over the border all right,
now and then and perhaps regularly. !
suppose there are goOdly number OF
Oxford born boys and girls running at
large all over the country who look for
the coming of the old home paper.
Miss Louisa Record has been on q few
days visit at the old place. We did not
see her, but she left instructions for US
to write for the Democrat once q week.
Can't tell how long the writing spasm
may last. Like the rheumatism 1t may
leave without notice and 1t may abide
too long for comfort or for edification.
With j. P. as guide we took turn
over the "Dilly Plantation" as planned
weeks ago. Where nature is left alone
and to her own devices for fifty years,
and you return, you look upon q face
that Is strange and new, with a wonder
upon you If the days of miracles are
past. Call them what you will, they are
going on all around US as the days and
the years 60 by. Nothing looked as it
looked through youthful eyes, except
perhaps the old wood road leading
down. Trees two feet through that had
not broken ground fifty years ago. One
pine that j. P. measured showed depth
of 8 feet that was baby pine perhaps
when we were baby boys together.
That f0rty-acre woodlot would make
Fosters mouth water and fll him with a
desire to slash it down. Doubtless there
is more money value In 1t than In culti-
waited acres. Still as we are constituted
1t is up to us to have few acres that we
can "tickle with a hoe," being that we
must have our three meals day and our
smoke between meals.
Well, the tramp was as good as ser.
mon to us with the benediction thrown
in. You needn't say anything about it,
for feel little delicate about its getting

Nature has been pushing up trees and
pulling me down. Let 'er push, and lei
'er pull. 1t is all right.

Eugene WadSworth.

Mr.. Eagene Wadsworth, son of the
late Capt. Samuel and Mrs. Jane l..
Wadsworth, died in Hiram May 18th, of
consumption, aged SO years, s months,
II days. He was ever man of pure
morals. truthful and honest in all his
dealings, also good citizen, kind hus-
band and faithful friend. He was for
many years one of our most Industrious,
thrifty and prosperous farmers, but
some three years ago failing health re-
quired him to sell the ancestral farm of
some five hundred acres, and he retired
to Hiram village and bought the resi-
dence long owned by Hon. Noah b. Hub
bard. He was a Democrat in politics.
Rev. Hervey II. Hoyt attended the
funeral services on Thursday at the

THE MASK OF HEALTH.
FEW PEOPLE, ARE REALLY AS WELL AS

FEW PEOPLE ARE REALLY AS WELL AS
THEY LOOK. CAUSE AND REMEDY.
Many people in Paris, both men and
women, who believe themselves to be
in perfect health, are often in the great
est danger.
The most common cause of i'll health
is indigestion, with myriad of symp-
toms such as headache, sleeplessness,
specks before the eyes, pains in the back
and side, distress after eating, etc.
In the last few years the success of
physicians everywhere with Mi-o-na
stomach tablets has made them known
far and wide as the acknowledged spe-
cific for the treatment of stomach dis
eases. They strengthen the digestive
organs 80 that in few days the stom-
ach is in such shape that it takes care
itself of all the food that is eaten with
out pain or distress.
F. A. Shurtleff & Co. give an absolute
unqualified guarantee that your money
will be refunded unless Mi-o-na cures.
They take the whole risk and the rem
edy will not cost you a penny nnless it
cures you.
