COLOMBIA FRIENDLY
 TO PRESIDENT GOMEZ

Caracas, Aug. -Notwithstand ding new uprisings which have broken out at various points in Venezuelan terri tory, it has not been considered neces- sary to send expeditions from the army of President Gomez now camp ed at Maracay, to suppr ressed them.
 General Torres Castro, a relative of General Cipriano Castro, and his fol- lowers who were captured at Macuro have been incarcerated at a fort The government of Colombia notified the Venezuelan governrne nent, today, that Senor Lizzaza has been appointed Co., lombian minister at Caracas in. sue cession to Dr. U. c. Borde and it ex- pressed the hope that the friendly relations now existing between the two countries could be continued.
 The appointment of Senor Lizzaza and the expression of friendiiness from Colombia are looked upon as dis crediting the reports of serious frfc- ton between the two republics over the aid which Augustine Berti and other CoIombians residing at Cucuta, 3, town in the Colombian department of Santandera in the Venezuelan frontier. is said to have given Castro's followers.

Mayor wilson said this morning he had not decided who he would name fo f1lI the places on the Board of Ap- portionment and Board of Contract and supply made vacant by the death of George W. Jackman.
 Members of the Board of Contract ana Supply must be members of the Board of Apportionment, but 1t is not likely that the successor to the late MT Jackman on the Board of Appor- tfonment will also succeed him on the other board
 The vacancy on the Board of Con tract and supply will probably be filled by some one now a member or the Board of Apportionment.

County Commissioner w. S Mead has just returned from a two weeks vacation spent with his family at Aw- erill Lakes in the extreme northeast ern corner of Vermont He reports a splendid time spent in the woods and on the lakes in that region. He cross ed over the border to Canada and spent a little while there. One of the guides of the party was an old man of 79 years who was of French-Canadian and Indian parentage. He had spent all his life in the woods and despite his age. had jet black hair and was straight as an arrow. The Commissioner certainly looks as if his vacation had done him a world of good, and appears fit to wreetIe with the problems of his of fee.

DEATH OF MRS. BLACKMAN
 IS BLOW TO SANDY HOOK
Especial to The Farmer.

Sandy Hook, Aug. 1S-Isabel Win ton, wife of John H. Blaekman, mer- chant in this village, died Saturday after a. long illness at their residence on West Main street. She was 62 years of age, a native of Zoar Dis trict, Newtown, the daughter of the late Oscar Winton and Eliza Jordan. No woman in town was better or more favorably known and the regret for he demise comes from classes all over town.
 She was married abouty forty years ago to MT. B1ackman who survives her. He was then associated with his father, Bennett BIackman, in a very prosperous business of meats and grocery line which embraced the township. Competition in trade. re- verses in business, and the long con tinued incapacity of her husband owing to an affection of the brain, drove them from their central stand in the borough of Newtown, and sev en years ago they came to Sandy Hook.
 Beginning in a small way in the old Augur market, this frai1 woman de- ve1oped a business capacity that was astounding, and built up the best pay ing business of it's kind in town. All this time she looked after her hus- bank who except for brief intervals was unable to help himself Six months ago the latter was attacked by another severe experience of his ma lady, and the excitement of the affair, Or her strenuous life brought artrio Scalerosis. She took to the bed and despite the best care and attention of physicians and nurses she gradually faded away.
 The announcement of her death has caused more genuine expressions of sorrow in this community than any demise during a generation. Her fu- neral was held today from St. John s church in the village at which Rev. Charles N Tibba1ls, the rector, and Rev. James H. George of Trinity church, Newtown, officiated. The in- terment was in Berkshire cemetery.
