The home of Mr.. and Mrs. D. M.
Dunn on the Troy road was made
sad last week caused by the death of
their daughter, Bernice, which oc-
cured Thursday night at 11:45. She
was taken sick with jaundice on the
18th Of January, which developed IN
to spinal meningitis causing her
death. Bernice was born March Ii,
1913 and would have been eight years
of age the coming March. She leaves
five brothers and sisters, three older
and two younger. The funeral serv-
ices was held at ST. Mary's church
Sunday at 1 80 burial in the catholic
cemetary.
Since receiving letters from
friends in Florida in which they have
had a great deal to say about the
wonderful climate in that country,
so more attractive than what is
usually handed out to those who have
to stay in Vermont, notes have been
taken on conditions as they exist in
Newport this winter. The woods are
full of crows, f1ocks of wild geese go
ing North. Plenty of nice perch
caught in Lake Memphremagog every
day. And crickets also, ten minutes
walk will take us where there are real
live crickets that sing. And the lat
est comes from Dwight Squires in
which he reports that their lilac near
the house is full Of buds.
Memphremagog Lodge No. 154,
Ladies' Auxiliary to the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Fireman served a sup
per and installed the newly elected Of
ficers at their last regular meeting
Wednesday evening, Jan. 10. Nearly
40 members of the order enjoyed the
supper which was served at $3.50
o'clock, and consisted of the following
good things to eat: Roast pork,
mashed potato, cranberry sauce,
pickles, rolls, butter, cheese, assorted
pies, and coffee. During the regular
meeting of the order which followed
the newly elected officers were I'M
stalled: President, Mrs. Linn Carr;
past president, Mrs. Fred Magoon;
vice president, Mrs. o. w Creaser;
secretary, Mrs. John Stephens; collec-
tor, Mrs. Ernest Cass; treasurer, Mrs.
O. M. Spaulding. Regular meetings
of the order are held on the third
Wednesday of each month.
Early Friday evening Miss Bessie
Lothrop was thrown from the sleigh
from which she received injuries that
rendered her unconscious for q time.
Miss Lothrop, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Lothrop Of South avenue,
and student of the Newport High
School, in company with Alton Wells,
were driving on East Main street and
on nearing the water tank = heavy
freight was pulling out of the B. &
M. yard and the engine frightened
Mr.. Wells horse which became un-.
manageable and in turning around
threw Miss Lothrop out of the sleigh
rendering her unconscious. Miss
Winona Billings and mother, who
were walking over to the East Side
went to her assistance also T. c.
Camp happened along with his de-
livery auto. Miss Lothrop was taken
into the car and rushed to her home
and Doctors Longe and Adams were
called. She soon recovered conscious
ness and is hoped that the accident
will not confine her to the house long.
She received no broken bones but is
suffering from being badly shaken up.

Letter From Southland
Jan. 10. 1921,

Jan. 10, 1921.
Jacksonville is a fine old city of
about one thousand inhabitants, about
one half colored. The parks in the
city are fine. Hemming park situated
in the center of the business part is
thronged with people every day and
the band plays afternoons and even
ings. Confederate park contains a
very large monument erected in
memory Of the fallen soldiers of the
Civil War in the south. It has foun-
tains, miniature lake and large plot
of roses. The Zoo park contains wild
animals.
A party of us went on the street
cars IL miles out to Camp Johnston.
OF course there was nothing doing in
the cmap and it would remind one of
deserted village but one gets an idea
of the gigantic expense of the war.
When they consider the water, sewer
age and electric light system, and
paving the street with brick through
the camp which contains about one
thousand acres. l asked why they
were to the expense of paving the
streets, but as the soil is sand, trans
portation would otherwise be impossi-
BILE. We went into two or three of the
locked. Autos containing sight seers
were constantly coming and going.
In speaking of the sandy soil
there is nothing else, but we do
get the climate, and the days, which
are an hour longer by standard time,
in the afternoon are like our days in
September.
We of course have been out to the
Ostrich farm and there were 3S os-
triches ranging from months to AZ,
years. A trained octrich, Joe Jr., was
hitched into buggy wagon. The
keeper, got in and Joe certainly made
good time around the track. The
keeper rode another bare back. We
went into the Alligator farm where it
seemed there were thousands of them.
We went eighty miles south to Cres-
cent city, where there are large or
ange groves and packing houses We
ordered a box shipped north. We
joined the Tourist Club which has
about 600 members and one meets peo-
pie from the Atlantic and Pacific.
There is something FOR amusement
every afternoon and evening. Games,
dancing and concerts. We went over
into the colored settlement a few days
ago, where there are about $500. They
have their own churches, stores,
schools and theatres. Two of these
colored brethren held up one of the
tourists on Hogan street one evening.
They placed gun in his face and he
valued his head more than his watch
and SAL which they went off with.
When he was telling US about it the
next day his hair stood up straight on
his head, but whether it was from
e. - l1S-
dressing we are not able to say.
There is something for excite,nent
every day.
Today the different organizations in
the city are observing Gen. Rob. E.
Lees birthday and also Stonewall
Jackson's which is day after tomorrow.
We will save our patriotic celebration
till Feb. IL or the %. Well enough
for now.
Sincerely,
Mrs. B. T. Webb.

PLACED IN JAIL TAKES
CORROSIVE SUBLIMATF
Boston Officers Telegraphed to
Hold Lavine and he was
Returned Tuesday

George Lavine wanted in Boston for
the theft of Ford automobile made
an unsuccessful attempt to commit
suicide soon after being placed in Jail
by Officer Sweet, Monday.
1t was only by quick action of
Sheriff E. j. Hill, who summoned DR..
F. D. Badger, who administered an
tidotes that saved his life. Upon
searching his clothing they found a
bottle of corrosive sublimate tablets,
a deadly poison, one grain of which is
enough to cause death, and it was
learned from Lavine after partially
recovering that he had taken two
tablets of grains each. Finding the
bottle marked to contain % tablets
with only % that could be accounted
for corroborated his story. The en-
tire amount was not discovered on the
first search, so determined was he to
finish the job it led Sheriff Hill to
make another search which revealed
two tablets secreted in Lavine's cap.
In conversation he claimed that he
purchased the poison at Lakeport,
N. H., with the intention of taking
his life if he should be arrested.
Word was received from Boston in
spectors that Lavine was wanted there
for the theft of Ford car which he
later disposed of in Portland, Ne. On
Monday Officer SWEET located a man
in the passenger station who answered
the description and tok him into Gus
tody. SWEET Immediately recognized
him as one whom he had met at the
time the Metal Trades show was
here last summer, under the auspices
of the American Legion, he being one
of the wrestlers with that company,
also chauffeur for the manager.
Lavine, who is about 25 years of
age, was taken back to Boston by
Officer SWEET Tuesday noon.

HOLDING CHEMICAL TRADE
Statistics. show That United States
Has Been Able TO Hold High
, Marx Set During War.

O1icial statistics for the fiscal year
1920 demonstrate that this country
has been able to keep its trade In
chemical and allied products very near
the high mark set during the war, de-
spite the loss Of markets for purely
war supplies and despite the pressing
demands that must be met In the do
mestic market.
Such Is the conclusion reached by

tician, writing in the Journal Of Indus,

exceeded in value those of 1913, fact
that can be explained In some cases.

nevertheless warrants the assertion
