It contains Black Cherry baric, Golden Seal root, Bloodroot, Stone root, Mandrake root and Queen's root—all of which are highly praised as remedies (or alljhe above mentioned affections by such eminent medical writers and teachers as Prof. Bartholow, of Jefferson Med.

The \Golden Medical Discovery\ is the , only medicine .put up for sale through druggists' for like purposes, that has any such professional endorsement—worth more than any number of ordinary testi- monials. Open publicity of its formula on the bottle wrapper is the best possible guaranty of its_merits.

Rev. Isaac Holmes and his brother-in-law, ! Thomas Whitbeck of Hillsdale, N. Y„ came : first and found themselves suited\in Arcadia in the vicinity of Fairville. They were f ol lowed by James and Peggy Holmes, James and Chios Curtiss and Casper and Lydia Mil- ! ler. In April 1828 came Gilbert and Betsey ' Gorsline and William and Angeline Simmons, I and following them, John and Jane Shufelt ! and Minard and Persis Scutt. Joseph Holmes, \ the baohelor brother, came with some of the ! group; Polly, the unmarried sister, came with Isaac. I These Holmes brothers and sisters were ! the children of Dr. Joseph Holmes of Hills- dale, Columbia county. He was the son of Dr. Joseph Holmes, a surgeon in the British I navy, who about 1740, left the service and • settled in the township of Pnmfrpt, Conn. \The town where Putnam killed the wolf,\ was | always added, as an explanatory clause, when ' the story was told to us children. Joseph Holmes, Jr., became incensed at his family be- cause his share of the property was willed to his children instead of himself, and he re- moved to Hillsdale, N. Y. When the elder I Holmes died no claim was put in for Joseph's children and the property passed into the ! hands-of .strangers. In after years Isaac Holmes and his -brother-in-law, Gilbert Gorj- • line, looked up the claim .in behalf of the i heirs. It was found that the property could | probably bs recoverd by litigation, but there ' would be so. little for-each of \the numerous ' heirs that it was decided not to try t o dispos- ! sess the innoceHt purchaser in whose hands | they found the estate.

Those evenings deserved a chronicler, for nothing makes-English literature more en- tertaining than an, adequate record of its f asoinating .delights. Joseph Holmes was an old bachelor of the standard type. There were no traditions of Jiayjng been crossed in love to account for his singleNmblessedness; his cynicism was proba-\ bly constitutional.' He had served in the war of 1812. It was slyly whispered in the fami- ly that the war would have ended just as soon without the\ aid of his services. After coming to Arcadia he tended bar in the tav- ern at Fairville for, some time. Later, he lived around in the families of his brothers and sisters, making himself- useful enough-to pay'his way, in his own estimation at least. Certainly the well-prepared pile of fire-wood which was the result oi his visits ought to j have atoned to the women folks for some of his whims. He had save.d a snug little sum for his age, which he willed to his surviving brothers and sisters. The pioneers long since passed to their re- ward. - Of the second generation the late Jerry Shufelt was the last representative in Wayne county. Two others live in Battle Creek, Michigan,—Mrs. Harriet Dingman and Mrs. Laura L. Parks, children of Gilbert and Betsey Gorsline. In the third generation three families out of the eight have repre : sentatives in Wayne County. James Holmes's daughter Catherine marrie\d Joel Soverhill. She died in her early prime leaving four chil- dren,—one son, James, and three daughters, now IJrs. Anson Pratt, Mrs. Brastus Huntley, Mrs. Lucius Clark. Of the Shufelt family there are the children of the late Jeremiah of Fairville, some of the daughters'- children near Port Gibson, Mrs. Lake near Newark and her blind sister, Miss Smalledge. Of the Miller family there are Denison M. Aldrich of Mace- don and Mrs. R. H. Palmer of Newark and her brothers, the Hinmans. The descendants of the Gorsline family are mostly in Michigan; one, James G. Aldrich is at Bath, N. Y. Many of the Niagara county contingent removed to Van Buren county, Michigan. Two daughters of William and Angeline Simmons lived in Illinois. Among the descendants of Rev. Isaac Holmes the family name bids fair to be perpetuated. Several families with sons live in\ central Michigan: A great grandson, Prof. Clarence E. Holmes, is superintendent of the State School for the Blind at Lansing. Some years since, as I was visiting in Newark, I was told a preitj^&iryr-story of a fortune which was left by a wealthy, bachelor for the heirs of Mary (Polly) Delamater, the wife of Joseph Holmes, Jr.' It was \sure MEMORIAL SERVICE.

Isaac Holmes and James Curtiss lived farther north. Casper\ Miller lived soutWof Loek- ville, on the street going east from the cor- ners (tittle Ctrnrers)- where it is -crossed by- Trout Run. It was not, probably, a very sani- tary location, but it was picturesque, with its grassy yards, its immense willows, and its fascinating brooks, a* 1 veritable child's para- dise, and nowhere did the children like to visit better than at Aunt Lydia's. Minard Scutt' lived at one time near the stone school- house, in a house which long since disappeared. I do not know that he purchased a farm. Sim- mons lived farther north, as did John .Shufelt. The latter was, constitutionally,. a trader. Houses, horses, watches, no matter what, he was always ready for a trade. That kind of enterprise seldom leads to fortune, and al- though he came to Arcadia well outfitted, and afterwards received substantial help from his father's estate, the family did'not enjoy a per- manent home until his wife received a legacy • from her bfother, Joseph, which she immedia - tely put into her\ own name and the moving about was ended. It might be supposed that so large an ac- cession to one section of the township would have left a lasting impress upon the com- munity, but even the names have disappeared, and the descendants still in Wayne county may be counted upon the fingers. Rev. Isaac Holmes moved to Michigan in 1831, doubtless better to provide for his growing sons, all of whom went with him. Possibly, too, being a man of peace as well as a man of strong con- victions on the subject of slavery, he preferred to keep out of the increasing strife over the subject which embittered the Methodist con recognized bits of familiar family history, and could see how a ^briefless lawyer might hope to lure a few dollars into his own empty pockets by weaving a plausible story to ap- peal to that hope of a fortune which lies deep in\every credulous breastT It \was £ 'pity\ to\ spoil the rainbow-tinted dream, but .my grandfather had helped dispose of the Connec- ticut estate, and my father, as executor, had paid over to the brothers and sisters of Joseph Holmes, 3rd, who were, of course, the direct \heirs \of Mary Delamater,\ the last dollar of the fortune of the \wealthy bachelor.\ My explanation fitted the case so exactly that it had to be accepted. Reluctantly it was con- ceded that while the romance might contain a possible fortune for some future novelist, as a cash asset it was valueless. LUCY A. OSBAND. Open The Windows. Vital statistics show more farmers die of lung diseases than city people, not-, withstanding the boosted \fresh pure air of the country.\ The reason is that so many farmers do not really appreciate the importance of ventilation and oi uni- form heating of their homes. Cold air is no purer than warm air, yet a great many people shut themselves up in hermetical- ly sealed rooms to sleep and'imagine that because the bedrooms are cold it would be superfluous t o open the windows for the fresh air from out doors. They shiver at the thought of fresh air i n win- ter, as Borne people, shudder at the thought of opening the porei of the Bkin by bathing i n winter.

James Curtiss and his large family were the next to emigrate. He settled ui Newfane, Niagara county. His married sons and daughters removed to-the same .vicinity and younger ones married - and settled around him.

Hi^, children, •except, Mrs. Hiram Aldrich, then removed to Michigan, settling near Battle Creek, r.^he unmarried brother and. sister were both of marked individuality. Polly was, literally^ a spinster,—that is she went out spinning. Many families were glad to avail themselves of her service, and I judge her life was very comfoftilfle. In the intervals when she was not at work she vjsited among her relatives and was always a welcome guest. Among her accomplishments was that of story-telling. She had been brought up among the descen- dants-of the Hotyahdera who had drifted north along the Hudson, and her repertory of folk-lores tories was large and varied. She had .also stories that recalled classic tinies and that, possibly, went back to. the old Homeric days.

' Newark Lodge, No. 83. P & A. M , held a meeting Sunday afternoon, in memory of the late W. B. Marsh, who \was Junior Deacon of the Lodge. About one hundred and fifty. men attended. Macedon, Palmyra and Lyons lodges were welj' represented, as 'was Zenobia- Com- .mandery. Mr. Marsh was a .member of Newark Lodge, No. 83, F. & A. M., Newark Chapter, -No. 117, R. A. M., and of Zenobia Commandery. The Lodge\ was opened briefly by W- H. Nicholoy, the Master. Rev. G. R. Brush made the opening prayer, and was followed by Hon. 41. I . U-reenvvood, who gave the following memorial address and offered the following resolu-.ion, in his usual impressive style : , . \ MR. GREENWOOD'S BE5IARKS. \We live but for a day which is soon past, and there is but little time in which to work, 'and whateyer we have to do must be dope quickly, for the night cometh when no man\ can work. In the morning of life -as the sun rises over the eastern hills radiating the face of nature, and giving new life and vigqr, we set out on our journey with our hearts filled with courage for the battle, and promising ourselves that the plans we are making are to bear fruition and reap perfection; but alas for human expectations, though we toil ever so hard night overtakes us and our work is only just begun. It is given to but few men, if any, to realize the hopes of the' morning, and we are bound to see our plans shattered, and as. night .draws on and we look backward we realize that we are. not here in this world for ourselves alone, and that whatever God gives us to do is intended for His glory and the. welfare of, our fellow men. A life that is ex- pended with no higheiM-nd in view than to promote one's own selfish ends is a misspent one, but with the abundance of opportunities given to us as we travel along the , hot and dusty road, to make the world- better by our having lived in it, is a victory or failure as we ourselves make it. Our beloved institution endeavors to. impress upon its initiates that he who labors most for others wins most for him- self. If he exist for a purpose, and if that • purpose be a wise and beneficent one, and our energies are not misspent, it is inevitable that we should leave an impress fnr good upon .the eommifflity. Every human being is on trial, and the verdict mustbe whatever he has ac- complished for- the highest, the best, the noblest aims,sr degenerate! into aimlessness and selfishness.. It is not what we promise, but what we do in this world that justifies our exis- tence. There is\ ho middle ground between victory and defeat, and the life thatisnotgood must be evil. If our aims are of the earth earthy, it would have been better if we had not existed at all. As we c.ome time'after time to speak loving words of farewell to those of our brethren who have finished their course, it is inevitable that we should try them, weigh them, and estimate them by the work that they have done in this'world and whether we wish, it or not-as the roll of the dead H palled we reflect the mental process of testing them by what they have accomplished. Some one has written that our custom of commemorating onr dead is not to be com- mended, and that these memorials are time and energy wasted. This sentiment is an entirely unworthy one r for a society that has nothing to commemorate and-nothing to honor with its plaudits must lead a merely negative existence, and has no useful purpose. Happily for- Freemasonry those- whom- it honors and venerates-for the .services theyjiayfi.rendered- to it, have earned their reward. We do not chant the Miserere, indeed we have no lamen- tations for the dead; if they were worthy we praise their excellencies, commend their deeds, and thank God for the generous gift of then- lives. • When we cast a flower upon their graves we bid it carry with its perfume a message of love into the glory land, and the hope that after life's warfare the peace of God a'bideth with, fchemr- So with our brother, we honor his memory indeed, bnt we have no tears to shed as we thank Good for what he was to us, and to his fellow men, and we give praise to God for what he accomplished, and for the precious memory of the sweetness, and gentleness of his life, and for ourselves express the hope, aye, the abiding faith that when we have done the work that God gives us t'> do in this life, and after we have gone to rest, the sun will come bursting over, the eastern hills, and \ Again we'll wakr. Another morn'-, fair light On our opened eve* shall break, And we'll risr in youth and beauty In that bright lan'l.'lntfo Where lite and loveshall last for aye.\ At the close of Mr. Greenwood's re- marks, he read the following minute which was placed upon the lodge records: To Newark Lodge, No. 83, F. & A.M. We, the members of Newark Lodge, are met here'today in the full glory of manhood's prime. Hand meets hand in fraternal and friendly clasp, eye speaks to eye, and the \ attentive ear\ hears with exquisite joy the sound formu- lated by the \ instructive tongue.\ -The past freighted with its lessons of experience, the present with its actualities,. and the future with its sublime possibilities, are living entities for our enjoyment and improvement, but an echo from the past with its silvery Gadence bids us bow our heads in retrospective con- templation. We sigh for the touch of a vanished hand, the perfume of a presence that has gone to higher rewards, and for a foot- fall that has climbed the golden stair. In the very prime of young, manhood, and in the midst of his activities our Brother, William R. Marsh, was on the Cth day of April, 1907, taken from us with a suddenness which is a startling reminder of the brevity and uncer- tainty of human life. Our brother was one who did not wear his Masonry on the outside like a garment, but it imbued his whole life and guided and directed him in all the efforts of his life. We shall sadly miss hin% but we here spread upon our records this testimony of our great love and admiration for him and his unselfish and helpful life, and his memory will long be to us as sweet perfumed wafted to us from the heavenly land. Following Mr. Greenwood's addressand minute, the officers of the Lodge, W. H. Nicholoy, master, W. M. Gould, senior warden, and Dr. J. A. Reed, junior war- den, gave briefly the regular lodge service, Which closed with a prayer -by Rev. O. W. Scovel. ' Mr. Marsh's official chair was unoccu- pied, and was draped i n mourning. The service lasted about three quarters of an hour and was very impressive. qLD S0tmER5HN~-WOLCQtL .Celebrated on Tuesday Lee's Surrender and the Founding of the G. A. R. Woloott Ne.vs. The old soldiers of Wayne county met in Wolcott on Tuesday, t o the number of about 150, many of them being accom- panied by their wives, t o observe the 42d. anniversary of Lee's surrender and' the «8t of the founding of the Giand \Army\ of the-Republic. . Manyofthe business places and pri-' vate residences were handsomely deco- rated with flags and bunting. The busi- ness sessions .were hel d in the Whitford opera house. The first session* was opened at 11:15 a. m. by prayer by the Rev. Jennie I. Pitts, followed by addresses of welcome from-Mrs. Sebina Hoffman, president of Logan circle,. Ladies of the G. A. R., and by N. J. Field, commander- of Keeslar post.' The response was by C. H. Sanford, chairman of the county G. A. R. committee, who presided at the meeting. Before the dinner' hour the matter of an excursion to Gettysburg, Washing- ton, Richmond and Jamestown during the season of 1907, under the auspices of the G. A. R. posts of Wayne county, was taken up. It was voted unanimously by the veterans t o arrange for such an .excur- sion and the commanders of the various posts were made a committee to look after the matter, each in his own locality. Commanders were empowered to substi- tute another comrade of their post in case they could not look after the work. Din- ner was held i n Grange hall at 12:30 p. m. At the afternoon session\ E. W. New- berry was made secretary. It was the sense of the meeting thp,t the' proposed excursion should be given sometime in September, and the time will be decided on by the committee appointed, of which S. N. Keener, of Newark, is chairman. JChere were addresses by F. E. Brown, Newark; Charles Mills, Sodus, Rev. J. L. GfflaTd, Wolcott^and George W. BrinUer- hoff, Red Creek. \ F. E. Pierson, of South Butler, spoke on \ \What the G. A. R. Stands For,\ and gave an interesting account of its organization Postmaster A. O. Brink, of Wolcott, stirred the veterans to great enthusiasm by his reference\to- the great need of some element in this commercial age that would instruct the present and ' rising generation on patriotism and he claimed that the Grand Army of the Republic had not only done their duty in the time of war^ but had performed an equal service as instructors in patriotism in time \of peace. , The last address of the \day was made by Rev. Jennie Pitts. The entire program was interspersed with vocal and instrumental music by the Pitts brothers, W. H. Paddock and the Strait brothers, and was a most accept- able feature of the meeting.\ Dr. A. F.. Sheldon, of Lyons, invited tffe\pT)stsT)f'the\EOTlf5tv\toTneet \in then- town on ,April 9, 1908, and James S. Roys, of Post 153, was made'the chair- man of arrangements, with power to detail what assistance he thought he might need from other posts. Many other comrades made remarks at the business meeting, as did also, Mrs. Hoose, president Vosburg R. F. C.; Mrs. W.J. Goldring, of D wight R^, F. C. and Mrs. F. E. Lawrence, past dept. president Ladies of the G. A. R. _One hundred arid seventeen veterans registered, but qnite a number failed td register. There were 140 or 150 present. On the whole the meeting was a success and was most gratifying to the members of Keeslar post and Lngan circle. BAD'HRE. As Palmyra Sees It, Palmyra Courier.

The* residence of William Pickeron, two miles south and east of Palmyra, was completely destroyed by fire Tuesday night between the hours of. eight-thirty and eleven. • The origin of the fire is thought t o have been in a defective chimney near the\ center of tbe house., A hot fire had been started as a result of the cold snap and gave too much heat for the thin chimney to carry off. Mr. Pickeron, his daughter and her husband were in the house at the time when the the fire started and their attention was called to the fact that something was burning, by the smell of smoke. Fpon investigation it was found that the fire had spread to two rooms up stairs, and that all hope of saving their contents was gone. b?o rapid was the pro- gress of the fire, that only a small amount of the household goods could be saved. Within half an hour from the time the fire must have started the whole house was a mass of flames and cist a reflection on the sky, which.could he seen for many miles, The house was a large farm\house two stories high, and in very good condi- tion. The loss of the house, 'furniture, and valuables is estimated at $5,000. SCHUIJZ SENTENGED.
