Ed. J. Poor's son Fred, has Just
bought of Mr. Gidney, ono of the
successors to the Frank H. Martln
meat market, that part of tho Mrs.
Aurora Howo Burnham farm lylng
on the north sldo of the road and
adjacent on tho west sldo to tho old
Oliver S. Walker fnrm, now owned
by Pat Kelty. Tho farm as yct, has
no dwelling houso on lt, but has a
largo barn. An "authorlty" recently
told us that Ed: J. Poor's -farm,
which is not far from tho place the
son has bought, is under n very high
stato of cultlvatlon and wo shall
look to see that the son wlll show
that he is a "chip of the old block,"
when ho has had time to develop
hls place.
It is wlth great sorrow that we
have to note that Hadcn Jeffords, a
son of Jason H. Jeffords and a son-in-law
of tho late Sumner F. Wheat
ley, had to have a llmh amputated
at the Mary Fletcher hospltal, Bur
lington, the last of last week. The
amputatlon was just below the
knee. We havo beforo noted Mr.
Jefford's unfortunate accident In the
fall of 1007, at a saw mill ln Wash
ington, to which he had gone, we
think, on an errand about lumber
for his iew house that ho was bulld
ing on hls farm here. Whilo about
the mill an old floor, as wo recall lt,
broke through, and let him down ln
a way to injuro a limb, that began
soon to givo him trouble that has
gone on in spite of all hls efforts to
the present sad result. It was found
nt Burlington that thero was tuber
culosls of the bone and in spito of
the greatest effort to discovcr some
other way out of the condltlon, than
the taklng off of the llmb, none
could bo found. Mr. Jeffords ls only
some 44 years of age, and the loss
of a foot seems a very great one.
Much sympathy wlll go out to him
now from frlends and townsmen.
