FIELD DAY IN SHOREHAM.

Field Day, uuder the auspices of the
Shoreham Improvement society, was
held on August 10. On account of
threatening clouds IN the morning the
parade was not as long as expected but
still was very creditable. Many auto
mobiles were deliberately trimmed and
there were other entertaining and
amusing features. Much interest was
shown in Mr.. Carrigan's Stock Judging
demonstration. Rev. DR.. DeGrouchy's
address on my Philosophy of Life"
was full of wit and humor and at the
same time was strong appeal to all to
live up to big, high ideals. A good ball
game was played, Cornwall being the
winning team. A large number at
tended the dance in the evening.
The result of the day is considerable
increase in the treasury and growing
enthusiasm for Field day.

KENT w. MERRITT.

Kent Wright Merritt was born in
Shoreham, Vermont, April "a, 1851.
He secured his education at Shoreham
academy and from 1875 to 1878 was
station agent at Ticonderoga. n. Y.
Soon after this period he returned to
the old homestead on Barnum Hill. In
1881 married Eva A. Waite of Shorham
and after that time was engaged in
farming, except for period of two years
when he was in the mercantile bust
ness.
Mr. Merritt was always staunch
Republican and represented his native
town in the Legislature of 1888; from
1892 to 1898 he was sheriff of Addison
county. He was justice of the peace
since 1886 and has filled the office of
lister constable, selectman, road com
missioner and other Offices. He was
master of Simonds Lodge, No. 50,
and secretary of Shoreham Grange for
two years. In this position he rendered
much efficient service and greatly en-
couraged his fellow farmers in higher
ideals and better methods of farming
and in raising a better class of pure
bred stock in his home town. AS bus
ness man he held the confidence and
respect of the people. AS a neighbor,
he was always faithful, social, and help
full. AS citizen. worthy and honor
able in MS home life, always cheerful,
kindly and companionable.
His death occurred at his home, July
%, and the funeral, which was con-
Quoted by A. j. Blackmer of Middle
bury, was largely attended, Rev. R. B.
! Simmons officiating as minister. The
active bearers were Pin Waite, f. p.
Waite, Harry Church, Frank Hubbard,
Bert Hall and David Wells. The hon
orary bearers were Sheriff DIN Smith
of Addison, VIM. Cobb of Middle
bury, Howard Birchard, Edison Farm
ham, Charles belong and Richard Pie
BILE of Shoreham. The services at Lake
View cemetery were conducted by the
Masons. Many beautiful floral tributes
expressed the love and respect of his
many friends and after the funeral
many letters brought messages of love
and comfort to the bereaved family.
Kent Merritt was lover of the beau
tiful in Gods beautiful creation. He
had discovered the blue in his native
sky and the green and blue of the hills
and mountains was little brighter in
true and noble in life shone out through
his heart and his face in kindly words
and deeds to all humanity.
He is resting not far from the spot
where he was born amid the hills of the
homeland. He is sleeping where the
peace and the quiet glory of the ever
lasting hills and mountains cover the
spot with the great silent Peace of God.
But the mission of life so kind anC
brave lives now and ever on and or
beyond the grave.

IN MEMORIAM.

1t is with sadness that we chronicle
the death of one of our most esteemed
citizens. Charles Francis Kingsley was
born in Brandon January 26th, 1849.
Died at the Rutland City hospital
August 2, 1915
He came from Brandon to Salisbury
with his father when six years of age,
and his home was here until his death.
His earlier education was obtained at
Burr and Burton seminary in Manches-
ter, Vt, and Fort Edward institute,
Fort Edward, N. Y. He entered Mid
dlebury College in the class of 1869,
graduating in 1872. Following this he
spent two years at Columbia Law
school in New York city, also taking a
course in elocution in the city of Boston,
and soon after was admitted to the
bar. At this time his father was in
failing health the call of duty was
louder than that of his chosen profess
sion, so he remained at home, but was
considered one of the best read lawyers
in our county. He was constantly con-
suited by his own townspeople, also
those in adjoining towns, on legal points
of law, even to the last few weeks of
his life.
He also represented his town in the
legislature, being elected UNANIMOUSLY,
and was called to fill many of the i'm
portant Offices of the town. it was
always done with the faithfulness and
consciousness that characterized his
whole life. In 1879 he formed the firm
of Kingsley Brothers, with his brother,
Dea. D. B. Kingsley, for manufactur-
ing wood pulp, and continued in the
business until the winter of 1911, when
he sold the entire business to the Aetna
Powder Co. of Chicago. While never
making any public profession of
religion, yet his every day life, observ-
ance of the Sabbath, kindness to the
poor and forbearance to those in his
employ might well be emulated by those
who profess to have the Christ-love in
their hearts
The chair by the desk is vacant, the
books all closed, his work done. The
record of his life is with Him who said
Him that cometh unto Me, will in no
wise cast out, " and so to those who re-
main

WE EAT TOO MUCH MEAT.

We eat too much meat is the die
tum of DR.. Charles f. Boldun of
New York, who asserts that owing
to this cause in particular persons
over forty years of age are dying out
faster than they did thirty years ago.
The doctor, however, sees no par
ticular harm in drinking water at
meals nor in quenching the thirst
with ice water during the dog days.
Therein he differs with other physi-
clans. One says do; the other says
don't-so what are you going to do
about it? The fact is probably that
no general rule can be laid down.
What's one mans meat is another
mans poison is an old saying and
very likely true one. Eating what

a rule as any to follow, in the case
of a healthy individual. The system
will not crave that which disagrees
with it, or at least will not repeat the
demand.

TO life AND LOVE
Modern Prodigal Turned From
Folly to Wisdom Almost at
the Last Moment.
BY GEORGE eRANTHAM Balm.

The FREELY lights Of the little vol
lures twinkled up and down the
Champs Elysees. Now and then the
chug-chug of an automobile con-
sumed the distance from the Place
de la Concorde to the Rond Point
In a minute and disappeared as rap
idly toward the Place de PEtoile.
Henderson kicked the gravel i'm
patiently with his heel. His last ten
centimes had been spent for the rent
Of the iron chair on which he sat.
He had been wondering if the ticket
of the old woman who rented it to
him entitled him to occupy it all
night-or if he would be turned out
at midnight.
He had just committed the eyre
gious folly of eating an elaborate
meal-a very dainty meal, crowned,
with great, tender, delicious straw
berries buried in silver bowl full
of whipped cream, set on block of
crystal clear ice.
He was simply whimsical, and it
amused him to have jest-perhaps
a last jest-with fate. So when he
had faced that evening the alterna-
tive of pawning something from his
depleted wardrobe or going without
meal, he had arrayed himself in
evening dress and taken his last day.
light garment to the Mont de Pete.
On handsome winter overcoat
and London-made silk-lined suit,
scarcely worn, he had raised enough
money for his final fling at fortune.
''Nice night, isn't it." said Gaze
move as he sat down on the adjoining
chair.
'Quite NICE" said Henderson with
an afectation of interest. ''What
you doing out here, Cazenove?"
Taking the air like yourself"
said Cazenove, as he rendered his
cigar case. "Healthful open-air life,
this in Paris. The riot of night life
on Broadway isn't much like this
busy subdued existence, is it? I was
there last week"
Henderson's heart came up in his
throat. This link seemed to bring
him closer and closer to the old life
the life in Gods country, as every
expatriated American calls it, if only
under his breath
Didn't know you'd been away"
said Henderson, trying to control his
voice that threatened to break for
moment.

said Cazenove. ''Had to see my part

Ordinarily he would never have
