He was born in Goochianel county, Virginia, Nov. 2, 1SA6, and was raised by Joseph Johnson. q southern slave trader, who owned sixty slaves. Mir Terry was one of 8 family ot eighteen children, his mother bearing twins five times, and he was twin This characteristic seems to be con- tinued in the next generation. as Mr. Terry is the father of twin sons
 On his business trips through the southern states Johnson used to take young Terry with him. visiting in that way about every section of the south. In 1858, nt convention in South Caro- lima. young Terry first saw Jefferson Davis.
 Kept. $f,7o0 from Sheridan
 Johnson, the man who raised young Terry was in the Confederate army and was captured when he was home on a furIough in '65. Johnson was eat ing a shad dinner at the time the house was surrounded by Sheridan's Union troops but escaped from the house and was taken after pursuit for a quar ter of mile. He was prisoner at Point Lookout, Va. for six months during which time Terry visited him.
 Before the Union soldiers arrived, Johnson had buried his money in the cellar, $I,700 in gold and silver, putting 1t into crock at Terry's suggestion, and the latter held the candle while Johnson dug a hole in the center of the cellar where the money was placed. There was also $30.e00 in Confederate paper money. which was put in q bar rel. This was found and burnt by Sheridan's soldiers, but the crock of gold and silver was not discovered.

Thursday, the f1ftieth anniversary of the election of Jefferson Davis as pres tdent of the C0nfederate states. will be reminder of more than usual in- serast to one resident of this city. Braxton Terry. proprietor of d second hand store on Water street, who is the last to survive of the servants who waited on the president of the Con- federacy at Richmond. Up to about a dozen years ago, Ellen Green, another of the servants. was living on Long Island. but when she passed away it left Mir. Terry as the last link to the retainers who served during the war at the capital of the Confectionery.
 Not a Slave.
 In raminiscence of that period from which he treasures many interesting souvenirs, MT. Terry said recently that when Jefferson Davis came to Rich 1nond to take up the duties of the pres- idency of the Confederate states he brought with him from his home in Mississippi four slaves who were to be his personal attendants, but as the work at the capital required more help this was how he came to get a place to work for President Davis Young Terry was not a slave, his father hav- ing gained his freedom in 1S4G, and when the Confederate capital was es- tahfished at Richmond young Terry was a lad of about 15. working as huckster on the James river, also work ing in a market in Richmond and selling papers, one of them being the Richmond Whig.
 President Davis was a patron at the market, where he was attracted by Terry, and engaged him to wait on him at the capitol One of the peeuliarities which MT. Terry remembers about President Davis was that he was stickler for farm eggs and always bought them by weight. President Davis came to market with his stew ard, who had to see that the eggs weighed up to the standard or they were rejected for the Davis household
 Fine Man to Work For.
 As an employer or a master, Mir. Terry remembers President Davis as a fine man to work for, always kind to hls slaves or his other servants, and showing none of the contemptfble char acteristics with which his enemies la beled him at the time. In his service at the capitol young Terry saw practi- cally all the great leaders of the Con- federacy, Johnson, Lee. and long list of others.
 Many Experiences in War.

Do YouEDjoyI IDuf Msals? ]?
One Of the Most important Questions to considsr in the Sserch fer
 Happiness and Health.

sAre you getting out of life all the
 pleasure and the health you are en-
 titled tor If not. why not?
 No matter whether every organ anu
 member of your body is in a sound atate of health and strength, 1T your
 stomach is in any way disordered, you
 are not going to be yourself. You
 are going to be a worried, out-of- s0rIs,
 nervous or suIlen individual, whose
 actions will reflect your condition ln-
 side, and people will naturally avoid
 you.
 The world wants to smile and be
 cheerful. and unless you are cheerful
 and smile. at least occasionally. you
 will have few friends, fewer opportun-
 ities, no success-defeated by dyspep-
 sia and a bad stomach.
 A good and thorough digestion has
 a. quick wonderful reaction upon the
 braiE. You must have noticed it many
 time. for the brain and stomach are
 as intimately connected as a needle
 and it's thread, one can hardly be used
 to advantage without the other II
 your stomach is slow and lazy in di-
 gesting your food, it will produce at
 once 8 slew. lazy and cloudy indiuenca
 stomach has absolutely quit work, and
 fermentation is poisoning your vitals as a result, surely your brain Is going to be sluggish and cerrespondingiy depressed. No one need tell you that. But why continue to suffer all the
 miseries and torments that a disor- dered stomach brings you?
 If your stomach can not digest your
 food, what will? Where's the relief? Where's the cure?
 SIuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the relief and cure. Why" Because, as all ston,ach troubles arise from in- digestion and because one ingredient of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is able to thoroughly and completely digest 5000 grains of any kind of food, little Dyspepsia Tablets are going to digest all the food and whatever food you put into your stomach? Science nowadays can digest food without hav- ing to use the stomach for 1t, And Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the fe- suit of this scientific discovery They digest and digest thoroughly and we'll, anything and everything you eat. So. if your stomach refuses to work or can't work, and you suffer rom eructations, bloat, brash, fermentatlon, biliousness sour stomach, heartburn, irritation, indig estion, or dyspepsia of whatever form just take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and see the difference. It doesn't cost you much to prove it., Then you can eat all you want. what you want, when aver you want, if you use these tab lets. and you can look the whole world in the face with a beaming eye and you will have cheerful spirit, a pleasant face. vigorous body and a clear mind and memory and everything will look and taste delicious to you That's life.

A TRIBUTE TO A HORSE.
The Faithful Animal Was Never
 Struck a How.

c. S. P. writes from The Hemlocks of the death of dear old horse who faithfully did his duty for sixteen years. He addresses the editor thus:
 1 want to tell you about the dear old horse we have lost Sixteen years ago last September Frank was bought. He took a three weeks drive from Brook lyn. N. Y., to Greenport, l.. l., crossed to New London then drove to Boston, and from Boston to Albany, N Y. and from there took the boat to New York city and drove from the boat home to Brooklyn. The next fall wa drove from Brooklyn. on the south side of Long Island, to Montauk and back to East Hampton, and to Sag Harhor. and then across to New London and drove to Norwich Town. He haa never been whipped by us. and has been most faithful Two weeks ago he was taken sick with Bright's disease and Sunday night passed on to the horse heaven, if there is one. He had every care and Monday, with the help of our neigh bor. William J. Odgers, and Charles Smith of Canterbury road and Richard V. Fisher of Denver Col, we laid the dear old horse in his grave in our ap- pie orchard. Peace to his ashes. We shall miss him so much. The streets of Norwich will know him no more"
 (In the heavenly visions of the Bible prophets horses were seen and deScrib- ed, and Frank appears to have been qualified to ever associate with the faithful. The love which takes in Gods dumh creatures is not a love to be ashamed of.-The Editor.)

REV. Q. B. MacLANE SPEAKS ON HOME AND CHILDHOOD.
Object of Woman's Unity Society Be- fore Which Address Was Given.

The Rev, Donald B. MacLane ad- dressed the Woman's Unity society in the Sunday school rooms of the Second Congregational church on Tuesday evening with the interesting subject, Home and Childhood"
 The meeting opened at eight o'clock with hymn followed by a prayer of fered by the Rev. MT. MacLane. Mrs. Charles Pierce then rendered a solo in her usual pleasing voice.
 Following this, Dr. Lucille James in- troduced the speaker of the evening. the Rev. Donald B. MacLane, who said he wished his audience to under stand that he was to deliver no ser mon but to make an address. Hold ing this in mind he chose his text, not from the Bible, but from Mother Goose The subject of MT. Mac Lanes discourse was, This is the House That Jack Built" He took up his theme in an interesting manner, going through the various rooms in Jacks house from cellar to chamber, and cleverly applying to each an ap- propriate moral synonymic meaning. MT. MacLane's address laid forth the ideals and truths that go to make up model home. His talk was very in- teresting and was duly appreciated.
 Following his lecture MT. MacLane he executed with consummate skill. Then Dr. Lucille James, of the Wom- ans Unity society, explained that the object of the organization was the promotion of better child culture, that a course, extending over about two years, is started and in full swing and is holding meetings bimonthly. The course covers the care of the mother and child from the prenatal state up to the age of sixteen. Dr. James fur ther stated that a library of purity literature is to be established soon because our local libraries carry no literature of that class whatever. The books will be let out at small cost and reading room will be placed at the disposal of the public.
 Mrs. Charles Pierce sang "John Browns Body" and all enthusiastic cally joined in the chorus. The meet ing closed with the benedictfon pro- nounced by the Rev. MT. MacLane.

Baldhead Club One is Being Organized in
 . Western City

Perhaps this report is a joke, but one thing is certain--a bald heau is no joke to the man who wears .s.
 A club of baIdheads formed i14 every city in America would be good thing if it's members qpuld he induced to parade hatless through the main streets of the city.
 The writer would suggest that some of the members carry banners with inscriptions of such a character as to warn those who still have hair that badness is unnecessary; that in nearly every case it is the result of careless ness.
 Banners inscribed as follows would be appropriate:
 We let the dandruff germ do it.
 "The time to save the hair is when you have hair to save
 When we were young, the dandruff germs worked every blessed minute. They dug our hair out by the roots, and now we aren't in it.''
 The best banner of all would be this. We didn't use Parisian Sage

That was also the beginning of commerce in Norwich, which was at its height in 17as. when ten sleops, five schooners, five brigs and one ship sailed out of this port. The war of 1912 and the blockade of the river was crushing blow to the commerce of the Thames. Oct 15, 1916. the first steam vessel ascended the river and attracted much attention.

TEAM BACKED OVER
 EMBANkMENT AT EVANSVILLE
Rolled Down Clark Bank to Railroad Track-Drivsr and Horse Not Badly Hurt.

Eugene Leclair of TaftvfIle had a narrow escape from a serious acci- dent on Monday when the horse which he was driving backed over the edge of the high embankment known as Clark's bank below the foundry on West Thames street. Horse, team and driver were rolled down the steep in- cline onto the railroad tracks. Le- clair was thrown away from the team so escaped with slight cuts about the head and various bruises. The horse was only scratched but the team and harness we're badly damaged. Le- clair is employed by Philip Belval of TaftvilIe and was dumping 8 load of dirt when the horse began to back and was unable to hold the heavy team when it once started down hill.
