MILO 8. RICHARDSON.

The town of Salisbury, and especially the village of Lime Rock, sustains @ severe loss in the death of the Hon. Milo B. Richardson, which removes one who, during an active and useful life, was thoroughly devoted to the interest and advancement of the community in which he lived. A man of kindly inn pulses and generous nature high type of public-spirited, patriotic citizen a helpful nelghbor and faithful friend, he was justly held in affectionate esteem by all who knew him. He was proud of his community and it's institutions, and did much to make It the ideal village which it is. And his fellow citizens were proud of him, and gloried in the honors that came to him. His memory will be treasured long and lovingly.

In sweet content the hours pass by
 When hearts are pure and true Sometimes in life, God grants to us
 A glimpse of Heavens own hue. And it makes melody that lasts
 Throughout our earthly days, And when Iife's sky is all o'ercast
 It sings it's sweetest lays. Then when at night the god of sleep Gently kisses the eyes, Comes memory, as pure as prayer,
 To sing dear lullsbies. An, but to live seems greater gain
 When such pure joys we meet; It thrills us with its impulse strong; Contentnent, oh how sweet.
