an historical narrative of the life
and heroism of Thomas Worthley
and of his descendants down to the
present day. This by Mabel Worth
ley, who has spent considerable
time delving into old records,
searching out the facts and fancies
which she relates in a clear and
graphic manner calculated to cap
tivate the interest of all. Then
followed very appropriate and face
tious remarks by Arthur Sargent.
Mr.. Sargent showed himself a CAPT
tai after dinner speaker; he kept
his hearers busy lodging puns, flee
ing from old Jokes which they had
long since learned to dread and
rallying to the charge of new ones
which had at once the qualities of
mystery combined with an I'M
quenchable dryness or unfathom-
able depth. He led his hearers a
lively chase over the most uneven
ground from the commonplace to
the poetic, the dignifed to the
simple, from the sublime to the
ridiculous.
The last part of the day was
occupied with games, listening to
music from the graphaphone, etc.
The Calefs, who came in their auto
placed it at the disposal of the
company, and several enjoyed their
first ride.

WHEN HER BACK ACHES.
A Woman Finds all her Energy and
Amhifion Shining AWAY.


Vermont women know how the
aches and pains that come when the
kidneys fail make life a burden.
Backache, hip pains, headaches,
dizzy spells, distressing urinary
troubles, all tell of sick kidneys and
warn you of the stealthy approach
of diabetes, dropsy and Bright's
disease. Doan's Kidney Pills per-
manently cure all these disorders.
Here's proof of it in a Vermont
woman's words:
Mrs. j. Perkins of 1S2 West ST.,
Rutland, Vt, says: "For three
years | suffered from a deranged
condition of my kidneys. had a
good deal of backache, suffered from
spells of dizziness and could hardly
turn over in bed on account of the
pains through my loins. A kidney
weakness set in and the secretions
were of a dark red color, and con-
tanned deposits of sediment. |
doctored a great deal, but did not
receive any permanent relief. One
day a friend gave me a box of
Doan's Kidney Pills, began taking
them and | soon found that they
were the best remedy l ever used.
The pain in my back was quickly
lessened and the trouble with the
kidney secretions corrected. "

WORTHLEY RE-TNION.

Those who passed along South
Main St, Friday the Bird saw the
neat residence of w. n. Worthley
prettily decorated with flags,
streamers and evergreen, the entire
width of the yard covered with an
eXpanse of canvass to supplement
the shade of stately naples. Under
meath the canvass two long tables
and a merry throng of old and
young, enjoying themselves to the
very limit.
The occasion was not a 5. 5.
picnic; no need of rash guesses
among Bradford people, for the
Worthley reunion has come to be
one of the looked for events of each
summer, as sure as the Fair or the
Muster, as sure as the fine weather
which has always attended the
event.
A good number, nearly sixty,
were present. "None too old and
none too young" to be on hand at
this glad occasion. 1t was only a
few of the busy middle aged who
were conspicuous by their alb
sence. The oldest were Mr.. W. S.
Howard of st. Johnsbury, who is
81 and Mr.. Ira Calf of Washington,
who is past so. The youngest,
Chauncy Joseph Worthley, five
months and Cora Mabel Sargent,
one month. 1t is worth noting
that since the first reunion, FIVE
years ago, there has been but one
death, while there have been four
marriages and ten births.
Those from distance were p. H.
Capper and family from Maiden
Elmer Worthley, Amesbury; r. w.
Goodhue and family, Pittsheld,
Mass; Mr.. Howard and his daugh-
ter, Sue Worthley Howard of st.
Johnsbury; John and Mrs. Calef,
Ira Calef and Miss Lucie Calef,
Washington, VT; George Worthley
and family and Mrs. Armstrong,
Newbury, Mrs. Abbott, Boltonville;
Mrs. Craig, Woodsville; Ellsworth
Sargent and family, East Thetford /;
Ernest Cushman and family, Or
fordville; j. p. Sargent and family,
Corinth. The rest from Bradford
village and town.
In addition to the usual purposes
of the gathering, this one celebrated
Mr.. Worthley's 10th birthday.
Conspicuous among the good
things which loaded the tables were
an immense cone shaped birthday
cake decorated with the letters and
figures giving his name and age, he
work of Mrs. Howard, who is truly
an artist in this line, also a more
modest but very successful attempt
made by the granddaughter, Flor
ence, and bearing the word Grandpa.
After ample justice had been done
to the feast, a handsome oak rocker
made its appearance and was fit
tingly presented by Elmer Worth
lev. Uncle Nelson is equal to
almost any occasion but he was
here taken at too great disadvan-
tage and had to surrender.
Music followed. Here Florence
Worthley deserves special mention
for her ability to please with her
violin playing. She also sung, &C
companying herself, her Grand
fathers favorite piece, "Silver
Threads Among the Gold" The
effect was beautiful and touching
beyond description. Then followed

Messrs. Clayton. Mitchell and Clayton
OF Tupelo, attorneys for Lee county,
have written to the Attorney General
for an official expression as to what is
contemplated by statute in regard to
legal executions, and whether the
statute contemplates private hangings
entirely, , and so on, and in a general
way assto the duty Of the sheriff in
the premises.
The Attorney General 1eplying, quotes
the Code sections providing for execu-
lions, and adds the following:
ct is evident that if the Board of Su-
pervisors takes 40 affirmative action ia
the matter of designating a p.4ce Tor
the execution. such execution must he
carried out, either in the prison or
within the inclosed yard thereof. In
this event no one has a right to attend
except the persons specifically mention
ed in section1522 though it does not nee
essary follow that every one else must
be excluded. Ii the hanging is to be in
pablic, that result can only be accom-
plished by the boards dssignatlona pub
lie place as the scene of execution. In
other words, nonaction by the Board
means in practical effect that the death
penalty shall be inflicted privately, to
use a popular term"

Tupelo Journal:

Editor Tupelo Journal:
We are up here in the foot hills of
the Cumberland Mountains at the old
famous Red Boiling Springs Health Re-
sort. do not say watering place, be-
cause watering place nowadays means
a place to play poker, horse racing,
dancing, and whiskey. This is. simply
a place where people come to drink
the water and breathe the mountain
air. Red Boiling Springs is a valley
about a mile long, from / to J mile
wide, and has at least Is different kinds
of sulphur water springs, the white,
black and red. These waters have been
known and have been resorted to for
over a hundred years for the the cure
Of all kinds of bladder and kidney dis
eases, and also liver troubles.
The strange thing to me is springs
within 80 feet of each other, have en-
tire different mineral waters and you
can drink Of only one kind at a time
without serious nconvenience-in other
words you must not mix your drinks.
The record of cures made here are
simply marvellous. They have a spring
called ":Double and Twist" it. is as
black as your hat, and as strong in
smell and effect as you could wish. 1t
tastes like coal oil and a~ssefoedita.
That is my meat, | am drinking it,
about 6 glasses a day and it's surely get
ting there. | have been here a week
and | feel like a two year old walked
6 miles yesterday up hill and down.
Sure | was tired but | took a hot sui
phur bath and all tie soreness is gone.
sBut | am not in it with other men and
women who come here, having suf-
fered for years with kidney, or bladder
trouble. gall stones, etc., vino in a few
days or a week are able to walk around
and in a little while go back home new
men, able to again attend to business
and enjoy life. The reason Red Boiling
Springs are not bettey known is so far
away from a railroad and so hard to get
to. We came over the mountain from
Huntsville, Tenn, and though the ride
was rough, we enjoyed every step Of
the way. The scenery is beautiful if
not grand like Colorado. The beautiful
clear water streams, the lovely farms;
fine horses, cattle, sheep and hogs.
Every farmer seems to live at home,
many of the houses are the equal of
John ALIENS homein our town, with
tanks, showing they know the value of
the bath.
Then, one thing more that appeals to
me. It is the cheapest place for what
you get that fever knew. The nights
and mornings are very cool but after 3
a. m. it is as pleasant as an October
evening in Tupelo. Yours

Tax Levy for 1905.

The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday
fixed the tax levy for the year at 6
mills for the Common County Fund,
! mill, Court house fund and a half
mill to be used in establishing and
maintaining the proposed County Agri-
cultural School. This levy was made
necessary from the fact that the coun-
ty at this time has out some unpaid
warrants and no funds to draw from
until taxes have been collected. The
year has been an expensive one for the
county. 1t has been necessary to con-
struct a number of bridges and the
cost of material has been high. The
August Term of the Circuit Court was
an expensive Court and the demands
made upon the County Treasurer were
heavy. With the present levy the
Board hopes to meet all outstanding
warrants and meet current expenses
of the coming year.
