He expressed very little hopes of her recovery. Mrs. Rust lingered until Sunday afternoon, when she died without having regained consciousness. Mrs. came to Brandon from East Clarendon in 1S59.

She was a devoted member of the Congregational church and Sunday school, and no matter what the weather each Sabbath would find her in her accustomed place in the church. The deceased is survived by one son, four sisters, of whom Mrs. Dennison Blaekmer of this town is one, and one brother. Her funeral was held Wednesday afternoon, the Rev. W.

S. Smart officiating. The interment was at l'ine Hill. MRS. HIRAM Al.I.HX died at her home on Depot street, Monday of consumption, from which disease she has been a long sufferer.

Her husband, Hiram Allen has also been in feeble health for more than a year, and he is not expeeteil to long survive. Besides the husband three sons, Henry, William and Hiram, remain, two of whom are hardly old enough to plan and provide for themselves. Theirs is a case which appeals very strongly to the sympathies ol our whole people. The funeral was held from St. Marys church Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock, Rev.

Father Colfev officiating. The Muslin Underwear sale, the Housekeeping Goods sales, new styles in Cloaks at half price, special values in Wool Underwear, lllankcts. Dress Goods and the like.

We do not want you to buy blindly simply because we tell of these extraordinary offerings, but use your best dry goods knowledge, compare the slock, the prices with what is shown elsewhere and then decide.

It is the best way, the only way to convince yourself of the truth of these statements. LOCA AD Kims Kits. liramlon Publishing Job Printers Bacon I. Notions Brandon Invs't Sc Guar. Delientures All kinds of Painting Wagons and Harness Dry Goods Millinery Optician Arehitectual Desining 1.

Confidence, which was wavering, has been fully restored, and the price of pork still continues to be one of the topics of the hour. We publish the following item which we clip from the Kennebec Itailv Journal because it pays a high compliment to the skill of a former Brandon hoy, who learned the jeweler's trade with Geo. Olms-tead: A. Wood, one of the jewelers in the employ of Harry P.

Lowell, went to Portland, Monday, with the works of the magnificent clock recently presented Ex-Governor Cleaves. The clock itself was forwarded to Portland by express. Mr. Wood will put the parts together again, having been intrusted with the work on account of his stqerior knowledge and skill in matters of such kind. Portland has many experts hut none evidently that can "touch" the genial Wood of Augusta.

F. C. Chandler has been engaged the past fall in building a carriage road from his hotel at Silver Lake to the top of Lookout mountain. The road is completed to within five or six rods ol the top, which distance will he completed in the early spring, and the entire road put into good condition for travel. An observatory, seventy feet high, and costing ill the vicinity of $1 ,000 will he erected at the summit of the mountain from which a view may he obtained that is second to none in the state, if, indeed, a better view may be had from any point of vantage in New England.

The top of the observatory will be 370 feet higher than Silver lake fully 1,100 feet higher than Lake IHmmore and about 1,300 leet higher than Brandon. From it a large part of Otter Creek valley and Lake Champlain will he visible, with all of the lesser lakes in this vicinity right under the eye, and the majestic Adirondacks forming a beautiful background in the distance, while the Hudson rivers course can be seen tor many miles. Silver Lake will he a very popular resort next summer. From the St. Paul Press we clip the following obituary of a Vermonter who is supposed to have emigrated from this vicinity Among the recent deaths at the Minnesota Soldiers Home was that ot Daniel Atwood who served throughout the war as a soldier in a Wisconsin regiment.

Mr. Atwood was born in the State of Vermont, and was, therefore, a Green Mountain Boy, and settled in Wisconsin before the war. He had the honor of participating in all the battles in which his regiment fought, anil was regarded as one of the best, bravest and most faithful soldiers in tliut command. After the war ended he removed from Wisconsin to Delano, Wright county, Minnesota, and served as deputy sheriff of the county for several years. For eight years he kept the principal hotel at Delano, after which he came to St.

Paul about six years ago. He was eventually obliged to go to the State Soldiers Home, where he died. He left a widow and several children, his widow, Mrs. A Fete Stray Items Good quality brow sheeting 2 1-4 yds. wide 13c.

To the of the Brandon I 'nion: Sir: The statement of Mr. 0. Meach-am, in your last issue, regarding the Sprague vs. Fletcher suits, contains some misinformation, which, in the interests of truth, should not be allowed to pass un-correctcd. Speculations as to what might have been if the town had won its ease, instead of losing it, are somewhat futile, though they mav afford some harmless comfort to the vanquished.

Still, the fact is that if the Supreme Court had sustained the constitutionality of the law under which the listers proceeded, the special verdict of the jury having settled the question of Mr. Sprague's residence on April 1st, the town would have won that suit. But, as to the succeeding suits, nothing would have been determined. The question as to plaintiff's legal rc-idcnce on April 1st, INtH, would he an open one, and would have to he (letei mined hv another jury. And the same question would arise every year, as long as the listers persisted in treating him as a non-resident, ami the town would have had one law-suit per vear to defend.

How succeeding juries would have decided the question is, of course, Mary Atwood, ot Minneapolis, one I problematical. But this much mav he daughter -who is the wife of Lieut.

The evidence produced in court seemed to fully hear out the plaintiff's contention that he had never abandoned his Brandon domicile and still retained it. It may he added that the action of the listers in 1S95 and 1S9G, in appraising Mr. Sprague's National Bank stock at $250 per share, far in advance of their previous appraisals, of its value astound by the jurv, and of its actual value, and out of all proportion to the valuations of other stocks made by these same list e.s, is considered, not onlv hv Mr.
