Miss Mary Fuller.

Miss Mary Fuller quietly passed away
at the Home for Aged Women in Bur-
lington Thursday evening, February A,
at the age of 76 years. She was the
daughter of Reuben l.. and Mary E.
(Houghton) Fuller of this village and
lived here during her entire life until
she went to the Home in December,
1910.
OF sweet and quiet disposition, Miss
Fuller was a gentlewoman who endeared
herself to all whom she met. She will
be held in kindly remembrance by a
large circle of friends far beyond her
immediate associates in the home. A
brother, living in New York city, and
some cousins survive her. Services
will be held Saturday afternoon with

lincoln's Birthday.

From the Vinder Wee to Old Heidel-
burg, - is the subject of a travenogue
to be given by DR.. Junius E. Mead in
the Congregational church on the even
ing of Friday, February II, under the
auspices of the Ethan Allen chapter,
d. A. R., of Middebury. For some
time the patriotic organization has been
endeavoring to gather funds for the
erection of markers in commemoration
of Middlebury Revolutionary soldiers.
The proceeds of the lecture are for this
cause, which should appeal to all public
spirited citizens. DR.. Mead, who is one
of Middlebury's sons, gives his service
free for the association. His lectures
are full of interest and beautifully illus
trated by lantern slides. The public is
cordially invited to be present for an
evening of profitable enjoyment and to
aid worthy cause.

FISHER SIGNS CONTRACT,

Ray L. Fisher, physical director of
Middlebury college, has resigned his
position and has signed three-year
contract with the New York American
baseball club 1t is understood Mr..
Fishers contract calls for a salary of
$19, 800 for three years.
Mr.. Fisher has filled the position of
physical director of the college during
the past several years, Since his con-
nection with the New York Americans
Mr.. Fisher has pitched consistent and
sensational ball. He began his profess
sional career with the Hartford club of
the old Connecticut league now known
as the fast Eastern association. When
Hartford won the pennant Fisher was
mainly responsible. The New York
Americans drafted him the same sea-
son and he has remained with that team
ever since. New York baseball critics
rate Fisher as one of the best pitchers
in the game.
He is one of the youngest pitchers in
the major leagues. Last year Frank
L. Chance, at that time manager of the
New York Americans, declared that
Fisher was undoubtedly the best trained
player in the game for the simple fact
that Fisher is always ready for work.
During h is four year course at Middle
bury college Fisher was varsity
pitcher. He also captained the team.
Ray Fisher is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Albert N Fisher of this town.

Century Club Concert.

The concert given last Tuesday even
ing was in many respects, the finest
presented in many years to the Middle
bury public. Not often in small town
do so many real artists appear at a
single performance. The music was of
high order-not single cheap number
on the program. The personnel of the
company was entirely pleasing and their
rendition of the program was highly
artistic. That a Middlebury audience
entirely capable of appreciating high
grade music was attested by the hearty
applause which each number received.
The Century club is to be congratulated
on the presentation of so fine a company
and should seek to keep all of their en-
tainments up to this standard of excel
lance.
Mrs. Jessie Hatch Symonds, a niece
of A. d. Vittum of this village, tai
ented violinist. won much applause for
her rendition of several selections.

DEATH COMES AS
RELIEF To YOUNG
MAN s SUFFERING
BAMA FOGG, WHO WAS BADLY
BURNED SOME SIXTEEN OR
EIGHTEEN MONTHS AGO, DIED
AS RESULT OF A FALL.

Bama Fogg, rs years of age, of
Seminole, Ala, died yesterday as a
result of a fall which he sustained,
which fall produced a hemorrhage,
that was fatal in its results. The
remains accompanied by a grief
stricken father and brother, were
brought to the city last night and
conveyed to the Pou undertaking par
lors, on West Romano street, where
the body was embalmed and prepared
for shipment to his boyhood home.
Accompanied by the brother and
parent, the body will be shipped on
the northbound train at noon today,
to go to Uniontown, Pa, where the
funeral will take place.
A little more than a year ago, the
deceased had the misfortune to have
sustained very serious burns from
having fallen into the fire. These
burns never healed up completely,
and in fact although everything pos
sible was done for him, the scars
never got well. 1t was stated that
the wounds were exceedingly pain
full almost constantly, but despite
the pain, he bore up wonderfully and
spent part of the time, some time at
his fathers home in Baldwin county,
and part of the time on the bayshore.
He was always accompanied by an
attendant, and was given every treat
ment possible, but the stubborn
burned wounds never healed.
Yesterday, it was stated, the young
man sustained a fall, the impact of
which caused a hemorrhage as stat
ed, with the result that his death fol-
lowed. Those in the city, and people
from the bayshore, who last night
heard of his death, were much shock
ed, but all who knew of the sufferings
through which he undergone, regard
ed his demise as a merciful deliver
ance.

slung across his shoulder concealing
a rent in the back of his coat and
which was discovered later in the
lamp light To us he presented the
typical raftsman, needing only the
coil of rope, axe and augur to finish
his equipment. 5
Bro. WEIGH greeted the stranger
with his accustomed hospitality, in
vited him to the rear where he
bathed his hands and face, escorted
him to the dining-room, set before
the remnant of supper, interviewing
him, and at the same time explaining
the nature of the gathering. Some
little time was consumed in this in
terview to convince the host that he
might safely invite the stranger to
take part in the services.
Returning to the assembled con-
gregation, Bro. WEIGH introduced his
guest as the Rev. Mr.. Jones, local
minister, citizen of North Carolina,
and who would read the lesson and
discuss it.
The guest after his additions and
repast, was more presentable in per-
son, and the long rent in his coat
had been pinned together by the
hands of Sister Welch.
Brother Jones, without any apol-
ogy, read the chapter which had been
selected for comments, sung a famil-
lar hymn, prayed a devout prayer,
| and selected as his text the 10Th verse
of chapter sixth of the gospel, &C
cording to st. Mathew. His remarks
will long be remembered for their
eafnestness and sincerity. A place
and subject for the next Thursday
night was selected. Bro. Jones pro-
nounced the benediction and the small
congregation, after having shaken
hands, departed to their respective
homes destined to see him no more,
but to hear much as to how and why
he made his sudden appearance in
our midst. This will be reserved for
my next chronicle.

GERMAN WORK MEN
VERY PROSPEROUS
WAGES HAVE BEEN RAISED TO
A POINT THEY NEVER BEFORE
ATTAINED IN KAISER'S LAND.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Berlin, Sept. 16.-The huge drains
and losses of thirteen months of war
have had the paradoxical effect of
placing the German workingman in
position of prosperity unexampled in
his history, of raising his wages by
and large to a point they never at
tanned before, and of almost COM
pletely solving his unemployment
problem.
The faster men at the front have
fallen and holes in the ranks had to
be filled, the better has become the
situation of the men at home, the
higher have mounted the savings
banks deposits of the few doing the
work of the former many.
Each month has drawn from the
ranks of nearly all trades men whose
places have not been filed, yet whose
work has had to be done. The work
has been done, in part by over time
labor, in part by workers whose value
and in consequence whose pay-in-
creased about in proportion to the
Withdrawals.
Yet the very fact that the worker
who has stayed at home is having
an unprecedented hey-day has created
problem which his leaders, If not
he, is studying and worrying over
the problem of what is to become Of
him and of how to take care of him
when the war is over, when hun
dreds of thousands of his fellows
come streaming back from the front,
| when the lucrative manufacture OF
war materials suddenly stops.
Some think the problem is to be
solved by kindly employers who will

eight or twelve weeks until economic
matters adjust themselves and the
men can get back to work. ..
The organized trades are piling VI
small fortunes in their treasure!
against the time whep they shall
have to begin again paying out thu
unemployment benefits that jus
now have dwindled to the vanishing
point. And the government is prac
tically pledged to supply hundreds O
millions of marks, if necessary, to
ward this same end.
The labor situation in Berlin toda,
is more than fair measure by which
to gauge the situation throughout tn
Empire. More than ever since tn
beginning of the war there has beel
an influx of workers from the coun
try, attracted by the high wages pre-
vailing, especially in those trade
catering to army needs.

THE CHRONICALS OF POWELTON
BY ]. M. TATE.

Powelton, Oct. 16.-This delightful
village has long been noted as an
educational center, and as a COM
munity distinguished for its morals,
pretty and social advantages. On my
arrival to take charge of the public.
school I was much surprised to find
that the pupils had attained a pro-
ficiency in scholarship unsurpassed
by any of the schools Of the country,
many of these taking a course Of
study usually taught in the junior
grades of colleges. I found it on be-
coming better acquainted with the en-
vironments, easily to be accounted
for. My immediate predecessors had
been such, educators as the Hon. w.
A. Blount and the Rev. w. M. Cox.
The former, a distinguished jurist of
your city, and the later now the pre-
siding elder of the Pensacola District
of the Alabama Conference.
AS to Powelton's secular status
there were no castles to separate pie
beian from the patrician; TO moneyed
aristocracy to dictate the eligible
terms for entering society, but on the
contrary, each esteemed himself the
peer of the others, and yielded the
same degree of respect and Difference
which he himself dmanded.
In fact, the inhabitants seemed to
be enjoying a golden mean of pros
perity, a condition or state, more
clearly defined in Agus's prayer wher
he prayed; "Give me neither poverty
nor riches; feed lie with food con.
venient for me; lest be full and de.
ny Thee and say who is the Lord :?
or lest / be poor and steal and take
the name of the Lord in vain. NJ
wonder then that / found this little
town noted for its genuine hospitality
frequently entertaining without
charge the wearied traveller and hi
jaded beast.
But especially was Powelton re
nowned for her morals and piety
There was but one church, the M. E
Church, South, and it was situated
near the southern limit. The par
sonage was near by, and the academ,
midway between, formed a group o
buildings similar to a knot in tn
end of a shoe string, while the scat
tered residences on both sides of tn
