Yacht Club it was decided to keep the

small amount of work done in other
ways toward making the place more
attractive. Several new members have
lately been added to the list, including
the players of the Colonial Orchestra,

has commenced his annual fall and
winter round of enjoyment in the pur-
suit and capture of that animal, and
has thus far bagged one good one. He
states that foxes are very shy. this

which shyness he ascribes to the
large number of rabbit hunters who
have been in the woods during the

The Death of Rev. c. D. Lance.

The hope that was felt in the
community the first of last week
regarding the improvement of Rev. c.
D. Lance, was but f1eeting. He
passed peacefully away Thursday
evening, after months illness with
Bright's disease and erysipelas. AL
though he was sick man under the
doctors care at the time the
Methodist Conference commenced at
Richford, yet he was so jealous in his
work that he attended the sessions of
that body and assumed the duties
assigned him. Pen can but feebly
express the worth of Mr.. Lance and
the great work that he has &C.
complished in Newport. His strong
personality and natural requisites as a
leader of men were his greatest assets
and these were literally disbursed for
the uplift of mankind-as the institu-
ton of his mems Bible class, (The
Asbury Brotherhood) and bringing it's
attendance up to 200 (the largest
organization in the state) in four
years. time, amply testifes. His
Identification with other good work in
the community is too we'll known to
need mention. If in the Divine
Providence it seemed best he should

The body lay in state at the
Methodist church from 100 to 9 :OC
o. m. Saturday. The funeral was
held Sunday forenoon at 10 :45, the
Baptist and Congregational churches
cancelling their morning service; thus
! the attendance was beyond the
church's seating capacity. Rev. R. F.
Lowe, superintendent st. Johnsbury
district, opened the service with scrip
ture reading, followed with prayer by
Rev. R. N. Jocelyn, the new pastor
of the local church. Rev. w. B.
Dukeshire, superintendent St. Adams
district, preached the sermon, which
was impressively eulogistic. The
floral set pieces from the different
orders to which he belonged-tht
Asbury Brotherhood, Masons and Ode
Fellows-and the large bank of Gu
flowers and plants, together with thu
manifest sorrow throughout that large
congregation, was strong testimony O.
the love felt for the departed frie NJ
and fellow worker.
The remains lay in Pratt's under
taking rooms and Monday he wa!
taken to his native home in Cabot fo
interment. He is survived by a wife
and three children father, P. J. Lance
