Norwood

 

On Friday last, at the residence of Ashley W. Clark, Miss Adelaide Cotton, a maiden lady of the age of fifty years, departed this life and on Sunday she was buried in Norwood Riverside cemetery. There seems to be but little known of Miss Cotton's hereabouts. She had been a resident of Norwood and vicinity for quite a number of years and worked out here and there, but recently her health gave out and she had made her home at Mr. Clark's where she was kindly cared for in her last sickness. She is reported to have come from Vermont and to have been the daughter of Joseph Cotton of Jerico, Chittenden Co., in that State. She was a person of religious character and respected by those who knew her…On Wednesday of last week Miss Mary A. Grandy and her western friends, Ida R. Greenleaf and Margaret R. Smith, rolled their wheels up from Raymondville and took the night train for Chicago, on their way home to Sioux City, Iowa, where they reside and have positions as teachers of music. The ladies are expert bicycle riders and report having spent a very delightful two weeks wheeling round the country hereabouts. Miss Grandy spent her childhood days in Norwood and one time was a music pupil and then teacher of instrumental music and organist in the Cong. Church here, but during several years last past she has had a lucrative and highly honorable situation at Sioux City and spends her summer vacations among her relatives here, sometimes accompanied by one or two of her western acquaintances. The plan when they left here was to spend a couple of weeks in Chicago , where Miss Grandy would take pipe organ lessons of the celebrated organist, Clarence Eddy, and Miss Smith attend the summer school there for Normal methods of teaching music, and then return home to resume their labors in their several positions…The annual school meeting here this year was a very quiet affair for a Norwood school meeting, only about 40 to 50 of the voters appeared at all on the occasion. L. R. Ashley and banker F. L. Smith were each elected to be their own successors for the coming three years and G. E. Holbrook was the other trustee elected for the same time. Herbert F. Drew was elected by the district to be the clerk for the next school year at the fixed salary of $35. Mr. Claflin acted as president of the meeting, Mr. Drew clerk, and L. B. Smith and W. J. Fletcher tellers---Geo. Daniels , a new man among us from Montreal, has moved into Mrs. Cram's house on Main street….The Norwood people have been doing quite a business gathering blackberries at the "cobbles," as they call it, somewhere in the town of Parishville. There must be a bountiful crop as reported by those who have been and seen for themselves and the quantity of the delicious fruit brought home…On Wednesday last a car load of fresh air children passed through Norwood on the O.V.R.R. on their way home, the Rev. Eddy here joining them as their escort to the city. Mrs. Eddy is announced to supply the pulpit for her husband in his absence for a time…Com'r F. R. Smith returned from his recuperation tour in season to attend the school meeting. He reports blackberries over abundant where he has been and plenty at 5 cents a quart.

Falling off a Log

 

"As Easy as falling off a log," is an old saying. Nothing is easier , unless it is the taking of a dose of Mr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. No griping or drenching follows, as is the case with the old fashioned pills. The relief that follows resemble the action of Nature in her happiest moods; the impulse given to the dormant liver is of the most salutary kind. Sick headache, pain through the right side and shoulder blade, and yellowness of the skin and eyeballs are speedily remedied by the Pellets.

 

Water-Pure water. Who does not like pure water? All the water we use in our fountain is filtered through a Pasteur Germ Proof Filter, making it perfectly pure and with juices made direct from the fruits and pure cream, we can draw you a glass of soda second to none. Remember the place. Cox block drug store.
