 Sunday was an ideal day, but it was noticable how few automobiles passed over the Hill another evidence of the wonderful responsive spirit with which any suggestion of saving to win the wal is received by all classes. Many more than usual were out with horses and the family carry-all and with evident enjoy ment.
 Mrs. Charles L. Cobb, nee Miss Minnie V. Converse, has gone to Derby to com mence her duties as head of the commer- cial department of the high school there. Since her graduation at Bay Path Insti- tute, Springfield, Mass, she has taught her speciality with success in Vermont and in Maine.
 Dr and Mrs. F. B. Converse mot ored Monday to West Warren, Mass to visit Dr. and Mrs. Harry Moore. It is mat ter of congratulation to this locality that Dr. Moore hae purchased a residence in Stafford Springs and is soon to make his home there. His present environment will part with him regretfulIy.

Brackett and wife who, with Arthur Ben son, accompanied them to the service on the Hill and called on friends not well enough to go to the church. Deacon Bracket served with Deacon Marsh at communion.
 The recent news of the death of Mrs. John F. Graham in Deland, Florida, is of interest to many older readers The family moved to Florida in 1881, their departure from town having been much regretted. They moved from the old Graham place near Samuel Bartletts on Village Hill to South WilIingtOn, where Mr. Graham had charge of the large general store then run by John Champ lain, one of the company. MT. Graham had charge of the post office and was prominent in politics and public spirited generally Mrs. Graham was active in church and Sunday school work 8 good neighbor and friend, and highly es- teemed. Mr. Graham passed away some five years ago, since which time Mrs. Graham had been crippled from broken hip.
 There are readers of this column, near and far who will be interested in the following excerpt from The Deland, Florida News, copy of the issue of August 21st having been re- ceived by Col. w. H. Hall: At Dr. ange City on Tuesday evening. the ! 18th, at 835 o'clock, Mrs. Miranda Elizabeth Graham passed into the great beyond, a beautiful life coming to a peaceful close. Since 1882 she and her husband, the late John Dean Graham, and son, F. c. Graham, have lived in Orange City, coming from South Wilmington, Conn.,, in which state most of their lives had been spent. For a time they lived with Mrs. Graham's cousin, R. M. Tucker, and wife, and later settled in home of their own where Mrs. Graham was crippled in June, 1913 and where MT. Graham died early in January, 1914, leaving her lonely and helpless. For six months Miss Ada G. Massey did much toward caring for her and then she was removed to Miss Massey's cottage where she has been during these bedridden five years, ever pa tient, cheerful and industrious up to within the last three months, having nearly two hundred wash cloths for soldiers besides quantities of other Red Cross work. Friends and strangers alike received pleasant greeting at her bedside and meetings were held there, missions, temper ance, Ladies Aid. She was a con- stituent member of the Congrega- tiOnal church and constant attendant while health permitted She leaves her son, Fred c Graham, and wife of Orange City, grandson, Proctor Ora ham, and wife, Jacksonville, and Ra- ford Graham now of Brunswick, Ga. The interment was in Hollywood cemetery beside her husband" It was considered a great loss to the community when the Graham's left South Wilmington where they have re- tained appreciativO and affectiOnate friends and correspondents. A poem too lengthy for insertion here written by this faithful and loving friend, Miss Massey, accompanies the obitu- ary.
