Corbit's residence, but which was later moved some distance to the west. He was the son of John Adam BeckIey and Sally D. Munson. His father was man of large affairs, was descendent of Squire Forbes, the founder of the iron industry in Canaan, and like his ancester he founded a prosperous iron furnace on the lower road to East Canaan, which was later purchased by the Barnum, Richardson Go. He later owned fur naces near Housatonic, at North Adams and at Chatham, N. Y., where he died.
 John A. Beckley had three sons i; Myron who died at the age of twenty, James who conducted iron furnaces in Dover, N. Y, and in other places and who died in 1888 and Samuel 0. Beckley, whose death we regret to record.
 MT Beckley early entered mercantile life. conducting a store in connection with his fathers furnaces at North Adams, Mass. Here began a lifelong friendship with MT Sheridan Barnes who was associated with him in his store. It was pleasant to hear either of these men tell of the boyish pranks of the other in those early years,
 In 1866 MT Beckley purchased Deacon Charles Kellogg's interest in the store which stood on the east side of the Housatonic tracks, about where the drinking fountain now stands. The firm was changedto Brown and Beckley. The eniormember being Luther Brown, Deacon Kellogg's former partner. In August of that year, MT Browns failing heath necessitated his selling out to MT Beckley. For several years he was post master and telegraph operator. During this early period George s. Parsons and and E. D. Norton clerked in the store. This being the occasion of MT Parsons coming to Canaan. When in 1871 the building of the Connecticut Western Railway necessitated the removal of the old store. the building was sold to Patrick Lynch and moved to Railroad street, where it still stands. MT Beckley removed to the town hall building where he dld business for several years.
 In 1883 he bought the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS of Col. Hardenbergh and was editor of the paper and with it did a general printing business until April 2, 1906, when he sold out to the Canaan Printing Company and retired l from active business.
 During the years of his editorship, MT Beckley did the town a great service in gathering many anecdotes and pages in the towns early history with which he was so familiar and giving them per manenoe in the files of the paper to which the future historian of the town will turn as mine of information.
 MT Beckley was leader in the move ment for preaching services at the hall, which later led to the organization of the Pilgrim Congregational church. He was very patriotic citizen and on all holidays would hang out the old flag which blew from the town flag staff

dict of mot guilty" in the case of
Knocker ct al VS.. Coca-Cola. 1t, will
be remembered that some time ago a
report was circulated to the effect
that Coca-Cola contained injurious
materials and was, therefore, harmful
in its effect upon the human body.
The rumor was originated by an
INSCRIPTIONS competitor of Coca-Cola,
the popular temperance drink, spread
rapidly and found some credence
among those who did not know the
origin of the report.
The jury finds that not only does
Coca-Cola contain nothing harmful,
but that it is much superior to tea
and coffee in that it is free from tan
mic acid and, therefore, promotes di-
gestion instead of retarding it. Each
of the distinguished chemists report
ed that he had madesa careful chemi-
cal analysis of Coca-Cola and found
it to contain no dope" of any kind
