AMASA B. DAVIS DEAD.
Death Follows Soon After That of His
Wife-Buried at Same Time.

Amasa b. Davis. SO, one of the most
venerable and highly esteemed citizens
of the town, died in his home on North ,,
field street at $50 clock Sunday morn |
ing from the effects of a shock sustained
last Friday The shock was due to the
profound grief he experienced by the
death of his wife last week Monday Mr.
and Mrs. Davis were greatly devoted
to each other and when she was taken
Ill he seemed to lose all hope. The ankle
ty and sorrow during her illness and at
the time of her death We're more than
he could bear and death came less than
a week after her death.
Mr. Davis was born in Winchester,
\. H., July Z, 1924, one of FIVE children
of Jonathan and Betsy (Burt) Davis.
He received his early education in the
schools of Winchester and when young
man, after the death of his father, he
carried on a farm in the southwest part
of his native town. In 1853 he located
in this town on the now well-known Da-
Wis farm on the Mortified road, where
| he remained until about eight years
ago, when he moved to the village. His
reputation as a successful farmer and
| tobacco grower was widely known and
for many years he was IN a profitable
fruit trade, buying apples through the
surrounding states. Mr.. Davis also at
tended to much probate business and
settled several estates. In politics he
was staunch Republican and always
took great interest in the welfare of the
town. He served as seleetman three
terms and was representative in the
state legislature of 1928. Mr.. Da-
Wis was a member of the Congregational
church and Sunday school, and Golden
Rule lodge of Masons, F. & A. NJ, and
Wantastiquet Grange.
In 1851 he married Juliet Lyman, who
died in 1852 and on February 6, 1856
he married Julia Cook, daughter OF
Aaron and Katherine Cook of Hadlev
Mass. Three children We're born to this
union, one daughter dying in infancy
: and two sons, Frank A. of this town
and Frederick C. of Hartford, Conn.
both of whom survive. He also leaves
: two grandchildren.
Mr.. and Mrs Davis observed thei
golden wedding anniversary Feb. 6, 1906
when they entertained a large numbe
of friends and relatives and the larg
number of beautiful gifts was only ;
o small indication Of the esteem in whicl
: the venerable couple was held by tn
. townspeople. Their declining years wer
spent in ease and comfort, surrounde
4 by the loving care and attention 0
= their children.
The funeral was held at the home a
. clock Tuesday afternoon. Rev. WI
:, liam F. White of Saybrook, Conn, off
: iciating. The burial took place in Pin
( Grove cemetery. The body of Mrs. DE-
:, Wis, which was placed in the vault las
: week Wednesday, was buried at tn
: same time.

In 1913 sugar rose to 81 per pound and
tea the same. In 1880 butter sold for
$40 pound and tea for $40.
Such were the prices in revolutionary
times when we We're only trying to carry
on a war and feed ourselves at the same
time
Now, however our task is greater for
we must not only fight, and feed our
selves at the same time, but we must fur
nish most Of the food for the allies, if
We are To win this war
Yet, prices today are considerably
lower than those which Abigail Adams
paid in l776
If the women in America hoard food
however, or If they are wasteful with it
in their kitchens, as surely as the sun
rises in the East the cost of food will
soar until We shall repeat revolutionary
( prices.
Let us be thankful that as yet this
1 has not happened and that 10y economic
/ ing and avoiding waste, and by buying
wisely, no more and no less than what we
need at n time, we have it in our power
to keep the cost of food normally low.

Fire at John Magee'S,

The fremen were called out Sunday
morning shortly after 1 clock in
weather 10 degrees below zero to fight
a lively blaze in the former James Car
rol house in Stearns s court. The house
is occupied by Jonn Magee and Is
owned by Eli Walker. The fire had made
considerable Roadway before the alarm
was sounded, but with a fine pressure
of water in the pipes the tiremen soon
had the flames under control.
Officials of the fire department were
much pleased with the volume of water
available 50 quickly, which was remark
able considering the low water in the
river and the fact that the factories
where the high pressure pumps are To-
Gated were shut down
The fire, the origin Of which is not
known, started in the end of the wood
shed nearest the house and was first
discovered by neighbors who gave the
alarm, but MIR. Magee was awakened by
the frenzied antics of his eat before
help arrived. His house furnishings
were all removed, but were damaged by
water more or less. The woodshed and
one end of the house We're Quilted badly
The building was insured for $3.50.

From the Peoples Home Journal
 Of all American animals, Bighorn, the mountain sheep, is one of the most re- markable. Not only is he remarkable in anpearance. but he is equally remark able in his ability to live, and live well, in an environment where it would seem that no animal of such size could pos sibly sustain life There. on the roof of the world he not only sustains life, but. winter or summer, appears to be fat and in the best of condition.
 Tn America there are six species Of mountain sheep. The largest and best known is the truly magnificent Bighorn, also called Rocky mountain sheep Once abundant in the Rockies, from Mexico to British Columbia, it is now found only in small scattered bands. This is due to mans persistent hunting. It is now protected for term Of years in some states, and is slowly increasing in num- Der.
 Bighorn is of a gray-brown color, with white or cream-yellow patch on the hind quarters. A big ram will weigh 300 pounds. The female is smaller. Both male and female have horns, but those of the later are short and straight, while titOoc Ol lIic Idlll dTc liiillclisC 0Aio N0 " back and around until sometimes they form almost complete circle.
 The Bighorn lives in the most inacces- sible places among the towering crags O. the Rocky mountains, and travels with ease places in which, it would seem. nc creature lacking wings could possibly get about. It bounds down precipices which appear to the onlooker to offer no foothold, and it's safe arrival at the bottom seems little less than miracle. It scales cliffs which the hunter dares not attempt.
