In Memory of Mrs. Maggie
DOlIinS Forbes.

Again the grim reaper, Death, has
visited our neighborhood and has
claimed for its victor the wife of
Mr.. Ed Forbes on the morning of
July the oath, 1911, at 4 o'clock a
m.
Jesus has raken our sisters friend
and neighbor home with him to live
and today she is free from sorrow
and cares; although her Affections
were great, she bore them with
christian fortitude and patience for
two years, never murmering; sweet
peace to her memory. She was a
member of the Methodist church at
Vaughn's Chapel and teacher of
class in the Sunday School as long
as she was able to attend. She was
true and faithful christian, ever
ready to assist in that which was for
the uplifting of christianity. She
leaves a husband and three sons. an
aged mother, brothers and sisters to
mourn her departure. Husband aud
children we know it's hard to give
up dear companion and a lovely
mother, but there Is agrand thought,
your loss is her gain, for Jesus says
come unto me all We that are weary
and heavy laden and | will give you
rest" And to-day Maggie is rest
ing in Jesus arms. Let US follow
her teachings and in a few short
years you will be called to clasp
hands with our loved one who has
gone before.
See truth, love and mercy in triumph
descending.
And nature all glowing in Edens'
first bloom.
On the cold cheek of death smiles
and roses blooming.
And beauty immortal awakes' from
the tomb.
Cold in the grave the dear heart may
lie,
But that which warmed it can new
er die

ANCIENT CENSUS.

In 2O42 B. c.

There is a record of a census in
China as far back as the year 2042
B ~, and of one in Japan in the
last century before Christ.
Under the constitution of Scion
the citizens of Athens we're divided
and registered in four classes, ac-
cording to the amount of their tax
able property on incomes.
The Roman census was burdened
with more statistics than any Of
these, however. 1t had its origin
under Servius Julius. sixth King Of
Rome. and was an affair of much
solemnity. Every citizen had to ap-
pear upon the campus Martius and
declare upon oath his name and
dwelling and the value of his proper
ty, under the penalty Of having his
goods confiscated.
The most ancient statistical rec
ord of a census is found in the Bible.
The census was taken by Moses in
the wilderness and, as shown by the
first chapter of Numbers, the enum-

lies in the fruit region fronting the
east, away from the half-barren "lati-

fields are not bad land.
Craters are almost countless; they
have broken out everywhere on the
slopes, as bubbles rise from boiling
water. From most of the larger side

down into the plains, each bearing a
date when hundreds of small farms
were destroyed. Over the oldest

The Neis hborhood Missionary
MeetinQ.

On Thursday evening, September IA,
the Ladies Missionary society of Wey-
bridge entertained large delegations
from the ladies' societies in Middlebury
and Cornwell. The weather was all
that could be desired, consequently
there were sixty-four at the meeting,
which was held at the Congregational
church. The president, Mrs. S. w.
Jewett, presided, extending to all a
most cordial welcome
Our county officer, Mrs. w. H.
Matthews of Cornwall, conducted the
devotional exercises, after which
greetings were received from Mrs.
Phillips of Middlebury and from Mrs. j.
5. Wing and Mrs. Frank Foote of
Cornwall. Two solos were rendered by
Mrs. b. o. Wales and there was an in
stromental duet by Mrs. j. A. James
and Mrs. Wales. The speaker of the
afternoon was Mrs. Anna Hamilton of
Bridport, who gave an excellent ac-
count of her recent visit to the mission
schools of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
After the meeting there was brief in
terval for social intercourse before sup
per was served in the dining room,
which had been tastefully decorated
with bittersweet, autumn leaves and

Mount Etna Presents a Terrifvino
Spectacle.

Catania, Sicily, Sept. 12.-The crest
of Mount Etna now presents terrify-
ing spectacle. Heavy smoke lies over
1t, with frequent brilliant flashes, and
the bombardment which is continuous
along line nearly two miles in extent,
is like the firing of heavy artillery. A
torrent of burning lava estimated at
1000 feet wide and four feet deep. is
pouring down the slope. Everything in
its way has been carried before it.
Groves of trees have been uprooted and
set on fire, and the lava stream is sweep
ing through the fields, sending out for
miles around hot resinous waves of
smoke.
The peasants have left their homes
carrying with them the aged, the sick
and the children and whatever meagre
belongings they were able to gather.
Whole regions covered with hardened
lava from past eruptions have been
torn open by the frequent earth shocks.
Many of these have been of great vio-
ience and the peasants fear a repetition
or the Messina disaster.
