MR.. WARREN FOUND
DEAD IN HIS BED

Mr.. James Stanfield Warren, who
had lived in Marietta since his boy
hood, was found dead in bed Sat
urday morning at his home on Wash
ington avenue. He had seemed better
than usual the day before. He was
50 years old. He leaves his wife, who
was Miss Lena Page, and his mother,
Mrs. Katherine Thornton.
Mr.. Warren was a gentleman of the
highest integrity and most estimable
character. He was a member of the
First Baptist church, and the pastor,
Rev. G. S. Tumlin, who officiated at
the funeral, had also baptized and
married him. Mr.. Tumlin spoke of the
Importance of being prepared for
death and of how sure he was that
Mr.. Warren had died in the ideal
way, going peacefully to sleep in his
happy earthly home and awakening
in heaven.
The music at his funeral was very
sweet with Miss Maude Foster at the
organ and Mrs. <. p Dobbs, Mrs.
Fl. c. Dobbs, Professor Spessard and
Mr.. H. J. w. Hardage as a quartette.
The floral offerings were beautiful
and the casket was covered with white
roses
The pallbearers were cousins of Mr.
Warren and included K. p. Dobbs,
II. c. Dobbs. A. M. Dobbs, John War
rem and Walter Thornton. An i'm
mense throng filled the church. The
interment was in the city cemetery.
Every one feels tender compass
sion for the aged mother and devoted
wife who are left so lonely by this
sudden loss

FRUIT GROWERS CONVENTION
State Horticultural Society at Mid
dIebury, Nov. 10.


The annual meeting and exhibition
of the Vermont State Horticultural
Society will be held in Middlebury
November 10, 20 and 81. Plans are
nearly completed for an unusually
large meeting of the fruit growers
and Judging from the quality of the
crops and the very great interest in
fruit growing, this will be one of the
largest meetings in the history of the
Society The meeting this year will
be held in the heart of one of the
greatest fruit growing counties of
Vermont and it is exected that the ex
hibition this year will be veritable
feast for the eye. In view of the
close relation of the bees and fruit, it
has been decided to have the bee
keepers antidate by one day the fruit
growers meeting SO that people who
have vital interest in both lines of
industry may take advantage of the
two meetings. A number of out of
state men prominent in horticulture
have been engaged and a good pro-
gram is assured.
The premium list this year is par
ticularly good and is given below for
the special Information of the fruit
growing public.
