Rev. Wilbur I Bull, afer a month in Norwich and Bellerica, Mass., has returned to Ashland, Me. A corre- spondent writes as follows concerning his wife, who died suddenly last month: Marion L. Randall was born in Col- chester, Conn,, Oct. 16, 1890. In 1900 her family moved to Norwich, where she entered the grammar school and later graduated from the Norwich Free Academy in June, 1909. In the fall of the same vear she entered Maryland college, graduating in 1911. In her senior year she was elected a member of the Lamba Tau eorority. After one year at home she entered the Hartford School of Religious Pedagogy. At the beginning of the third year she was elected house president. She was the cholce spirit of her class, loved by schoolmates and _t only a few are loved. During the third year she eerved as_director of girls' work in the Young Women's Christian asso- clation of New Eritain, Conn. She graduated in May, 1915. In September she became the wife of Rev. Mr. Bull, a graduate of Dartmouth college and Hartford Theological seminary and pastor of the Congregational church in Ashland, Me. She entered into the parish work In Ashland with the full force of her win- some and wholesome personality. The HOW TO CURE COLDS Avoid_exposure and drafts. FEat right. Take Dr. King's New Discov- ery. It is prepared from Pine Tar, healing balsams and mild laxatives. Dr. King’s New Discovery kills and expels the cold germs, soothes the ir- ritated throat and allays inflamma- tion. Search as you will, you cannot find a better cough and cold remedy. Its use over 45 vears is a guarantee of satistaction. local paper in announcing her death gives this tribute: “Mrs. Bull came here a bride less than four months ago, and by her willing service and lovable disposition won the affection of every one with whom' she came in contact. It Is re- markable that in so short a time she made so deep an impression. The girls to whom she meant so much talk of her constantly, and her influence has made a great difference in_their lives; as one of them writes: ‘Never before has the spiritual life seemed more real and beautiful than it does now.’ People who have lived in Ashland many years have never seen the com- munity o stirred by real sorrow. Yet they rejoice that even a small part of that life so full of beauty and srace and so rich in joy and service was lived among them.” She was an idealist with great vis- ions of work to be accomplished, yet she was eminently practical and capa- ble in the duties of every day. She gave herself with devotion in effective work to the realization of her vision for the uplift of the parish, and at the same time proved herself an ideal home maker. She found it “just great to be alive,” and her enthusiasm and vivacity filled every hour with eager service so that her life, though short, was wonderfully complete. People who knew her only slightly were at- tracted by her queenly bearing and the utter lack of self consciousness. To express verbally a true estimate of her life is quite impossible. Its real ex- pression may be found in_the lives which she touched. Tracing backwards the path which she followed we find on every side the results of a radiant Christianity. Radlant is one of the words most expressive of her life. Her face was radiant. Her words, her Geeds, her life in ail its many relation- ships' radiated joy, love, enthusiasm, life. In her friendships at home, or student relations, or those formed through the medium of her social work, she exhibited always the same beautiful and loyal spirit of radiant Christian love.

Chapman Will Notifies Appraisers to Get to Work— Mrs. Charles A, Stillman Reaches 90th Birthday. Before the construction of the new rallway station and the new postoffice buildings, which were erected at the same time, the postoffice was within the raiiroad delivery zone, and the railroad company was required to pro- vide for the transfer of mails between the station and postoffice. This point was evidently taken into consideration by the railroad architects and those of the government as well, gnd the rail- roaders won. When both buildings were completed, with the basgage room at the east end of the station, farthest from the postoffice, it Was ascertained that the point where the mail was re- ceived at the station was outside the railroad delivery zone, and eince the mail has been transferred by contract with private individual. That contract is soon to expire, and preliminary to renewal the roll of gov- ernment red tape is being unwound, just a little. Wednesday Chief Clerk E. P. French of the railway mail ser- vice ‘came to Westerly to Investigate, in the hope of finding an error in the former measurements, so that the gov- ernment would be relieved of the trans- fer expense. Chief Clerk French, as- sisted by Assistant Postmaster Leni- han, measured the distance Wednesday and, while there was some variation in comparison with the original official measurement, the difference was favor- able to the railroad company. Judge Nathan B. Lewis, executor of the estate of Charles Denison Chap- man, has notified Appraisers Eugene B. Pendleton, Everett A. Kingsley and Joseph T. Murphy that he is ready for them to commence the appraisal of the estate, the value of which cannot be definitely fixed until an inventory is complated, and then only the personal propert; 1l be included in the in- ventory. So far as can be learned, the heirs at law (besides his wife), who are beneficiaries of the estate, include two uncles of deceased, John Wilcox of Quonocontaug and Capt. Nathan Wilcox of Shelter Island, and a baker's dozen of cousins. With the widow’s half of the personal estate set aside, it_is believed the other beneficiaries will receive about $1,000 each. The prospective high price for ice during the coming summer will have no effect upon the bank account of Clifford W.

Mrs. Eliza Stillman,widow of Charles A. Stillman, observed her 90th birthday Wednesday at the home of her daugh- ter, Mrs, James H. Hemphill. Many triénds tendered congratulations. Westerly has its full quota of near- firemen who are -ever ready to criticize the real firemen for using water to extinguish a fire, and for not using water to extinguish fire. So there you are! The proximity of the Memorial and Library to the Westerly High school makes the former a valuable acquisi- tion for the latter. The students have the privileges of the gymnasium as well as the library proper. Mrs. Sarah Breed Rising, widow of Dr. H. M. Rising, who died recently in South Glastonbury, Conn., was a eis- ter of Henry E. Breed of Pawcatuck and Mrs. James H. Cleveland of Ston- ington, also of the late Mrs. Erastus D. sfiner of Anguilla. 2 In a real live city firemen would be commended for confining a fire in a large box In a wobden building to the aforesaid box. Especially if the fire alarm was sent in at 3.30 a. m. In Westerly firemen are condemned for using water to. extinguish such a fire PLAINFIELD Many Mourners at Funeral of Wil- liam F.
