After an absence of fifty-two years,
Orrin Sprowle of China, was calling
on relatives and friends here last
week. He will be remembered by

school teacher in this vicinity.

relatives here, have returned to their
home at Corinth.
David P. Guptill of Eddington
spent the weekend with his mother,
Mrs. LORNA Gupt1ll, who accom-
panied him home for an indefinite
time.
The community is saddened by
the death of Tracy Young, one of It's
respected young men, who passed
away at his home here on June l, at
the age Of eighteen years. Though
he had not been well for several
weeks, his death came as shock
TO those outside his immediate
fsmily. He was of genial DISPOSE
ton. well liked by old and young.
He leaves his parents, two brothers
and che sister. His death at this
tins was especially sad, on account
of the serious illness of his wife,
g, formerly Mrs. Nora hammond, VINO
survived him only four days, and
leaves her parents, young daugh-
ter by a former marriage and sew
eYal brothers and sisters. Though
she had been among us only few
years, she had made many friends.
The sympathy of the entire COM
munity gdes out to the relatives
who so faithfully cared for both
these young people during their i'll
ness. The profusion of flowers showed
the esteem III which they were held.
