Forest Fires in Ripton.

County Game Warden George Chaffee,
of Middlebury has been notified that
the range of mountains between Ripton
and Lincoln are on fire, and threatening
thousands of dollars worth of timber
land. He has gone to the scene of the
fire and has engaged the services of
several workmen to fight the fire. The
selectmen of the towns of Ripton and
Lincoln were notified to take immediate
action to check the flames, which are
said to be about one mile wide
All available help has been set to work
on the fire at once, as much valuable
timber land is in the path of the flames.
The fire is said to have started in the
vicinity of Lincoln where people We're
burning brush. Already many acres have
been burnt over and a great amount
Of damage has been done. Unless
heavy rains set in, the possibility of
checking the fire will be slight owing to
the dryness of the forests.

MRS. TRUMAN PIDGEoN w1ssELL.

One of the saddest events of the sea-
son was the passing away of Mrs. Tru-
man Pidgeon Wissell. She had been ill
for several weeks with blood poisoning
and although she bravely tried to over
come the disease with the assistance of
best medical aid and loving friends and
neighbors, she passed away Saturday
morning, May 9th. leaving a husband
and two small children, father and
mother, four brothers and two sisters, an
aged grandmother with whom she lived
and host of other relatives and friends
who mourn her untimely death. Her
funeral was largely attended at ST..
Genevieve's church at Shoreham Mon
day morning at $3.50 o'clock. The long
line of carriages and beautiful flowers
from neighbors and other friends ex-
pressed the sympathy that was felt for
the family in this their great sorrow.
"There is no death! the stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore
And bright in heavens jeweled crown,
They shine forever more.
The bird like voice whose joyous tones
Made glad these scenes of sin and
strife
Sings now an everlasting song
Around the tree of life.
And ever near us though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the bOundless universe
Is life-there are no dead
