OBITUARY.
JOSIAH n. SMITH.


The death OF Josiah H. Smith last Fns-
day afternoon at his home on Pine street
brought sadness to many people in this
section. He had been poorly during the
spring, and contracted pneumonia, which
was the cause OF his death.
Mr.. Smith was born in Esstbroos in
1888, and grew up in that community. In
1853 he moved TO Franklin. In the
meantime he married Saran NJ. Dyer,
and their married life has proved very
happy one. In February last they passed
their ffty-eignth wedding anniversary
ana il was reason for gratitude that the
one no had been so faithful companion
during sll those years was spared to
minister to him to the very last. Two
children were born to them - Henry Z.
smith, who has made his home with his
parents, and Mrs. NJ. F. Mcfarland, OF
Buffalo, y. Y.
During the Civil war, MIR. Smith enlisted
in the tst Maine cavalry, ana saw service
in many hard fought battles, particularly
at Petersburg. Four of bis brothers also
saw service in that great struggle, and
while some Of them were wounded, all re-
turned, which is an usual record. But
while he was q good soldier, he was man
of peace, and was glad TO settle down again
10 the work which the war had inter
rupted.
He was man of kindly disposition, and
by mis- sympathetic and helpful regard for
Others be won for himself host OF
friends. The grace of hospitality was
abundant in mis- home. he had CHEEKY
word for the boys and girls, and they
came TO regard him as chura whose com
rsdsship they delighted in. In The every
day qualities that command respect and
influence, he was true to the hner stand
ards by which lives are measured.
In 1883 he moved to Trenton, where be
lived until few years ago, when he came
to Ellsworth so as to have more privileges
during his last days.
Mr.. Smith vas a man OF strong temper
ance principles. be was also man of
deep religious feeling, and the Baptist
church loses good helper.
The funeral was held al the home
Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. p.
A. A. KilIan. and WAS largely attended.
Members OF VIM. II. H Rice post, @. A. R.,
and also OF the masonic fraternity, were
present, as he had been q member OF both
organizations. Music was furnished by a
quartet The floral offerings we're beauti-
tiful.
Besides his immediate family, he Is sur
vived by three brothers - James M, OF
Benton; Eben f., OF Franklin, and Zell-
man, OF Fisher, Mich; also sister-Mrs.
Thomas Mitchell, of Penobscot.
The remains were taken TO Franklin for
interment

SAVED THE coLoRs.


During the Austro- Irussian war a
body of Prussian soldiers came upon a
ditch half full Of wounded and dying
Austrians Among those who were
badly wounded was young officer.
They found him lying ON his back In
the wet ditch. Touched With pity for
him. some OF the Prussians went TO
him and wished TO remove him 50 that
be might be attended to by the sur
seon. But he besought them TO leave
him alone. telling them that he felt
quite comfortable. Soon after this he
died. Then when they lifted his body
they found why he had begged them
TO leave him alone. He had been the
standard bearer for his regiment
In the terrible battle OF the day the
flag had been torn into tatters. aud
when he was sore wounded so that he
soon must die bis soldier spirit was
still strong within him. and rather
than let the dit of rag fail into the
enemy's hand he folded 1t up and
placed IL beneath him SO that none
might see It. This was why he would
not let himself be moved by the kind
ly Prussian soldiers. He would die
protecting the precious flag.
His foes were so touched by bis no
bic action that they would not take
away the trophy. but wrapped 1t
around him that IT might be buried
with him.

WILLIAM H. TRUE.

Although not unexpected, the death
last Sunday morning OF William II, True
was a shock TO his many friends and &C
quaintances in this vicinity. Until his
retirement from active business about ten
years ago, Mr.. True was one OF Ellis
worth's best known business men, and
had wide acquaintance throughout the
county.
Mr.. True was born in Yarmouth he
came to Ellsworth about forty years ago;
he, with George X. Campbell, whose
mother was Mr.. True's sister, bought out
the meat-market OF the then firm of
Campbell & Leach 1.-THE Campbell of that
firm being the late Ambrose s. Campbell.
Georges father.
The Arm OF Campbell & True was in
trade about thirty years; did an extern
sive business, and was widely known.
After the dissolution OF the firm, Mr..
Campbell went to Seattle, Wash.
Mr.. True was a veteran of the Civil war,
having served in the navy. He was a
member of VIM. Fl. Il. Rice post, G.. A. R.,
OF this city.
1rAc 4sAi7s Srha&c W
rem, of Otis, who, with one daughter,
LYDIA, survives him. He was a Mason, a
member OF Lygonia lodge, and the funeral,
which was held at the Methodist church
yesterday, was conducted by that body,
assisted by the pastor, Rev. T. S. Ross.
Interment was st Woodbine cemetery.
Mr.. True was one OF seven children, all
of whom are dead except brother-Enos,
OF Yarmouth, whose advanced age pre-
vented him from making the journey TO
attend the funeral.
Mr.. True, although he had been in fall
ing health for a year or more, was con-
fined to the house at the last only about
seven weeks. de was tenderly cared for
by his devoted wife and daughter, and
whatever assistance could be rendered by
his comrades OF the Grand Army and his
masonic brethren, VAS cheerfully given.
The family has the sincerest sympathy of
the entire community.

25c gallon for paint is about $50 on
the average job, and lots of men waited
last year for that; but they didn't reckon;
they got mad; wouldn't pay it.
There are times to get mad and refuse
to pay; but when ones property needs
protecting is no time to get mad and
not paint.
Besides, it costs more to get mad and
wait than to paint. ,
Getting mad doesn't do any good to your
property; paint does it good by keeping
out water; no water no rot; no paint
some water and rot and little -ot is more
