way In his long and faithful service as
road commissioner he had become one Of
the best known men m town and the peo-
pie on the street who had seen and talked
with him the day before could hardly
credit the report. He was then in his
usual health and spirits and took a keen
interest in the events of the week.
Tuesday morning he appeared to be per-
fectly we'll and left the house early to cul-
tivate some potatoes a short distance from
his home on the West Dummerston road
One of the family offered to go up with
him to lead the horse but he refused the
offer, saying that he could manage all
right. Nothing more was heard from him
until about IL o'clock when he came down
to the house and complained of great pain
in the chest He said that about half an
hour before he had had severe pains in
the stomach but had kept on working I'M

Mr.. FannIng a Candidate.


Editor of The Phoenix.
Dear Sir;-In offering myself at the So
licitation of many friends as a candidate
for town representative in the state legis-
lature of 1908, I feel that perhaps this
community should at present be repre-
sented by a farmer, since so many OF the
other professions, especially that of the
law, have so recently enjoyed the posi-
ton. can assure my fellow citizens, If
they are disposed to honor me with this
appointment, that without partisan in
fuence. no effort on my part will be
spared to secure such legislation as will
conduce to the best interests OF the COM
munity in which we live, and OF the town
of which we are justly proud.

guests leaving on the special train at
lis o'clock.
The lawn of George L. Durham was
an attractive place Tuesday afternoon
when the children of the north end Of
the village held their annual fair for the
benefit of the Sea Breeze mission fund.
A prettier sight could hardly be imagined
than the attractively decorated lawn, the
tables bearingsa store of pretty, useful
and toothsome things, each presided over
by misses in light dresses, and the throng
Of children and their parents as well all
chatting merrily and having a delightful
time, besides helping on a most worthy
cause The girls In charge Of the various
tables had a busy time from the opening
of the fair at o'clock until 6, the clos
ing time. Little was left on the tables
and when the returns were counted 1t
was found that more than $50 would be
cleared. This is more than was realized
last year and the group Of girls who had
the fair in charge can have the pleasure
of knowing that an even larger number
of less fortunate children will be enabled
to have a visit to the sea shore this sea-
son as the result of their endeavors. One
of the features OF the fair was the Sea
Breeze express Office from which mysteri-
Gus packages were delivered by Miss Har-
riet Mellen In the summer house were
the candy table in charge Of Miss Marion
Durham and Miss Margaret Mellen, and
the fancy table in charge Of Miss Evelyn
Durham and Miss Margaret Miles. Miss
Evelyn Harris presided at the lemonade
table and Miss Margaret Robbins and Miss
Gertrude Robbins at the flower table.
When the full returns were In 1t was
found that S67O2 would be realized. OF
this S42 will be sent for the regular work
Of the mission and S25 will be sent to pay
for bed at the Sea Breeze hospital for
an invalid child the entire summer.
