Jan. II. For three years during the
Civil War he was the fifer of Co. X,
9th VT, and Supt. Harmon, who was
member of that company, says he
was an excellent performer on that
nearly obsolete instrument. Born In
Guilford in April 1S47, he was conse-
quently nearly 70 years old. OF good
natural intelligence, supplemented by
wide reading, he had been employed
much of his life since the war in posi-
tions which required skill and in
volved responsibility. Though he had
been at the Home but about three
months, his gentlemanly manners and
uniform courtesy had won for him the
esteem of his comrades. OF late.
however, have been observed occas-
ional alterations of mind which final
ly resulted in the dementia which
caused his death His body will leave
here tomorrow and be taken to his
old Guilford home for burial

HOW APP. NIGHTS
CAN Be PafvfhTED

Bennington people should know
that few doses of simule buckthorn
bark. glycerine, etc., as mixed in Ad
ler-i-ka, often relieve or prevent ap-
pendicitis. This simple mixture re-
moves such surprising foul matter
that ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost
ANY CASE constipation, sour stom-
ach or gas. A short treatment helps
chronic stomach trouble. Adleri-ka
has easiest and most thorough action
of anything We ever sold. w. l.,
