Later he so far regained his health as
to be able to resume active work and
was able to serve a second term of
three years at North Arson. Under
his leadership the society increased in
strength and numbers and the frst
Methodist chapel was built. At the
end of this time he was again obliged
to give up the active work of the min
iStry on account of poor health and
took supernumary relation to the
conference, which he sustained until
death.
After giving up the ministry, Mr..
Evans settled in Madison and opened
a furniture store in the Old Point block

some years ago secured a patent for
an Ingenious device for lifting car

Although having retired from active
work Mr.. Evans was still well-known
and active factor in the life of the
community. He was a familiar figure
on the village streets and celebrated
his S0th birthday by conducting the
morning preaching service at the First
Methodist church. He also attained
considerable local fame as a poet and
was frequently called upon for verses
on special occasions. He was widely
known and respected by all the older
residents throughout this section Up
to within a few months of his death
MIR. Evans was often called upon to
officiate at weddings or funerals of
some of his old parishioners or their
families. He took an active part in the
councils of the Maine Methodist Con-
ference and was untiring in his efforts
for all that pertained to the welfare
Of the local Methodist church. Since
retiring from active business Mr..
Evans principal diversion was in at
tending the church services from which
he was rarely absent until few
months ago.
Mr. Evans was married in 1861 to
Miss Sarah Butterfield. To this union
was born one daughter, who is the wife
of Rev. E. F. Doughty of Naples. Fer
mis- second wife Mr.. Evans married
Mrs. Hattie Russell, who survives.

The Wav of PROGRESS.

A dog barking at passing automo-

ing a symbol of futile objection to the
march of progress as could well be
imagined. In the almost same category,
however, belongs the strike of the
stevedores in New Orleans against the
introduction of the electric truck to
transport freight between vessels and
warehouses. The wonder is that this
improvement has been SO long delayed
