What could furnish stronger evi. dence of the efficiency of any remedy than the tesp of time. Thousands of people testify that Doan's Kidney Pills have brought lasting results.
 Grateful endorsements should prove ubtedly the merits of this rem- edy. Years ago people right in this locality testified to the relief they had derived from the use of Doan s Kidney Pills. They now confirm their testimonials. They say that time has completed the test.
 Marshall Holbrook, farmer, W. Main street, Willimantic, Conn.,. says: 1T suffered great deal from kidney complaint and backache. One of my family had used Doan's Kidney Pills with great benefit and so de- cided to try them. In few days I was cured and although that cure was made some years ago, there has never been sign of the trouble since. I willingly confirm my former state- ments given in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills and authorize their fur ther publication.

 Last evening we chanced to come upon in selection of notable books made by Berthold Auerbach, the Ger man Novelist, mention of Jared Sparks biography of Benjamin Franklin, one of the comments being "Cast away on an island, with nothing Lut his book, a man would not be alone, but in the midst of the world" And Jared Sparks was poor, little boy who worked for his living, went to Sunday school here on the Hill, and by doing his best in every way became one of the foremost scholars in the world. This is suggestive, in con- nection with the material of which the present Sunday school is made up. Come in some Sunday and look at the bright faces. Make it a duty as a citizen, do not leave all the teach. ing to the women who have not the right to vote.
 On Friday death came as release from long suffering to Miss Marion Sparks. whose long illness from cancer has elicited much solicitude and | sympathy. This winter her case has seemed especially pathetic on account of the absence of her brother in Hart ford hospital. Miss Church has been with her and friends have been notably Mrs. Holman and M isses Palmer and Cunning. The funeral was held from her late home on Tuesday, Pastor Darrow officiating, burial in the family plot in old cemetery. Miss Sparks was the young est daughter of the late Origin and Jalisa Converse Sparks, and native and life long resident of this town. The Sparks family being of the old 'tock, her father was a brother of Jared Sparks, historian and president If Harvard university. Miss Marion had bright mind, was fond of music, l good violinist, loved nature, was devoted daughter, and since her nother's death has been lonely and depressed, being of a melancholy | that was no doubt due to | bodily indisposition, 'That brought fife near in sadness, making the cold .eality too real". She leaves two brothers, Henry of Mansfield, and Josiah of this town, and one sister, Julia, living in Mansfield.
