Roxa.na Flint.

Friday, May 10th, 1911, at twi-
light, the spirit of RoXana Brickett
Flint returned to God who gave it.
Roxana Brickett was born in the
town of Cabot, 70 years ago, but
lived the greater part of her life in
the towns of DanVille and Walden.
She was happily married to o. B.
Flint about 55 years ago to whom
was given four children, three sons,
Mass, and Arthur of Andiconda,
Montana. The daughter, May
Flint Davidson, died in young
womanhood leaving to the tender
care of her mother her new born
twin babies, Merton and Mabel Dav-
idson, whom she mothered and low
ed as tenderly as her own giving
them her own name. Two brothers
and one sister still survive her, Ed
ward Brickett of Lowell and Elisha
of st. Johnsbury, the sister, Hannah
Bean, also lives in Lowell, Mass.
There were also two great-great-
grandchildren. Her funel al was held
Tuesday, May %, at L o clock, and was
largely attended by relatives and
friends at her late home in Walden
near the Danville line and not far
from where she spent many years
by many as the gracious hostess of
Lake View farm. The three sons
and their wives were present at the
service; Arthur, the youngest, COM
ing some 5000 miles that he might
see his mother before she passed
away, but in vain. When he reach
ed home he found only the poor
pain broken, and disease wasted
body IN which she had lived awaiting
him. The funeral was conducted
by Mr.. CaldeTwood of st. Johnsbury.
Words of comfort and hope were
spoken by Rev. F. E. Currier, for
mer pastor, Mrs. B. u. Wells. of
West Danv1lle sang three appropriate
selections accompanied by Mrs Ash
ley Goss. The floral tribute were
both beautiful and profuse, hioaaar
the casket from view. tAunt Roxa'
as she was familarly called be-
longed to that ancient order of wom-
en-, (now fast passing away known
in every rural community, as minis
tering angels WHO, before trained
nurses were as plenty or within as
easy reach as now, went forth at
every cry of distress in the neighbor-
hood and ministered with tender
hand and loving heart to the sick
and dying.

RIBBON WINNERS in THE COUNTY FAIR

Below will be found the list of rib
bon winners in the County Fair.
Those who are marked 81" received
the blue ribbon and those who are
marked "2" received the red ribbon.
In some classes there we're no en-
tries, although there were few classes
of this kind, and for some classes no
provision had been made and these
are classed, as Special" 1t is hoped
that there are no mistakes in the
awards. Sec. G.. A. Power gave a
great deal of his time to the compila-
tion Of the records, but on account of
the hurry at the fair and because of
the uncertainty of arrangements be-
fore it came off, possibly some slight
errors might be found. The Adver-
tiser vouches for the fact that every
thing was done to keep the entries
straight and where a mistake is made
it is more because of improper en-
try by the owners than because of any
carelessness of the Secretary. If there
are any who are not given proper
credit in this list, due notice should
be sent to this office or to Mr.. Power
before next Tuesday and if request
is made the correction will be made
in these columns.

with which Alternately is charged were
attentions which William Abbott is
said to have paid to Mrs Abernathy
who was separated from her hus-
band. She is said to be still living.
George Abbott suspected any of a
dozen men of being implicated i'm his
brothers murder or of knowing
something about it, There were two
who were said to be in love with Mrs.
Alternately and jealous of William
Abbott because of the latters alleged
friendliness with the woman. VIII
liam Abbott was not quite 20 years
old at the time of his death. George
Abbott is a year older than William.
