Death of ltob.i l J. Iloltou. Robert J. Holton, only son of the late T. S. Holton, formerly of this place, and only grandson of James Joslyn, once of Putney, whose death was announced In last week's paper, was a resident of this place, although a good share of his time was spent in the care of his mother's farm in Putney, where he had always lived be fore moving here. He was a very thor ough farmer, conscientious in all his work and strictly honest in his dealings with his fellowmen. Of a genial, cheery disposi tion he won many friends ; in fact, we do not think he had an enemy in tho world. He was always kind and obliging, and ever ready to help those in distress. In his death the town loses a good citizen, h'is wife a kind husband, and his mother and sisters a devoted son and brother. His death was due to organic heart disease, and although he had the best medical attend ance nothing could be done to relieve him. Com. E. H. Miller has been busy for a week or 10 days past in soliciting and making engagements with the farmers of this lo cality to raise sweet corn for Baxter's corn canning factory at Brattleboro. Several of the farmers have already engaged to raise from three to five acres of sweet corn each, in case it can be loaded on to the cars at the Dummerston station. Delivering the corn at Dummerston station will de pend on the quantity of corn raised in this section, and Mr. Miller is confident that a sufficient number of acres will be planted this season to secure delivery as stated. Dr. S. E. Lawton, superintendent of the Brattleboro Retreat, came up to Dum merston with five other persons, in cluding Mrs. Lawton and an assistant phy sician at the Retreat, on Tuesday evening of this week, and delivered his lecture on "Dreams," announced to be given last week but postponed on account of the storm on Thursday evening. The doctor Was considerate In Inviting a few of his friends to enjoy the ride with him to Dum merston, for Tuesday was the first day of spring and was a day resplendent with sunshine. It was not only a pleasure ride for them, but they also had the enjoyment with many others of listening to a very interesting lecture. WEST DUMMEHSTON.
