During the past year an unusual number of our oldest and most esteemed residents have finished their course on earth and have been removed by the hand of death. Among those, few will be more deeply mourned and more sadly missed than Mr. Samuel W. Dearborn, who passed away last Friday evening. The esteem and popularity he enjoyed while living was based on no unreal foundation. His sound judgment and executive ability made him useful in a high degree, his kind heart and genial disposition attracted friends, and his loyalty to his friends bound them ever and ever more closely to him. Mr. Dearborn was a lifelong resident of Hampton, having been born here July 1835, the son of John Dearborn and Mary Anne Towle. He was twice married, first to Sarah O. Mason who died Dec. 19, 1884, the issue of this marriage being two sons, one dying in infancy, and the second, Clarence M. Dearborn, passing away very suddenly Oct. 27, 1909, leaving one son, Elmore Dearborn. The death of his son was a sad blow to Mr. Dearborn, and one from which he could not recover. Mr. Dearborn married secondly Miss Arabella S. Taylor, Sept. 21, 1885, who survives him. Mr. Dearborn was a successful businessman, and in addition to his principal business of building and dealing in lumber was identified with numerous other business operations among them being the Hampton Water Works and Hampton Beach Improvement Co. He was a member of the Masonic Order of the Odd Fellows Lodge and the Grand Army of the Republic, to which lodges he was faithful and loyal member, having perhaps the warmest place in his heart for the last named order. While Mr. Dearborn has been in failing health for several years his sudden death came a shock to his family and friends and the sympathy of the community goes out to his bereaved widow. The great throng of relatives and friend who gathered at his funeral last Monday afternoon, and their silent testimony of beautiful floral offerings, making his resting place a bower of flowers, testified to the esteem in which he was held.

The funeral obsequies were held in his late home on Monday afternoon, and were conducted by Mr. Ross and Mr. Partington. The bearers were Mr. Hugh Brown and Mr. Warren Batchelder, representing the Odd Fellows; Mr. Lewis Perkins and Mr. Horace Lane, representing the Masons, and Mr. William Lane and Mr. John Gilman, representing the Grand Army.

The death of Mrs. W. Harrison Hobbs at her home in this village on Sunday evening July 10, 1910, filled the hearts of her family and friends with deep grief, and caused friends and associates in many homes to sympathize with them in their loss. In the death of Mrs. Hobbs this neighborhood loses a useful and progressive member and the loss of her presence and her work in her home and in the Congregational church, of which she was a devoted member, creates a vacancy widely felt and deeply deplored. The deceased was born Nov. 30, 1850, the daughter of Jonathan Godfrey and Theodata Hobbs, being one of fifteen children, twelve of whom survive her, and sadly mourn for a beloved sister and the break in the circle so long unbroken. Mrs. Hobbs has been in delicate health for several years, but the final stroke came in the fall of 1909 when it was learned that tuberculosis had laid its deadly hand upon her. She has been confined to her home since that time, and as her pastor said in his remarks, although deprived of going where she wished to go, or doing what she longed to do, and being racked with pain, she bore all the pain and disappointment unmurmuringly, leaving behind her a testimony to the power of Christianity. Mrs. Hobbs was a woman of sterling Christian character and we can all testify to her unfailing love for the ancient church in which she was baptized, and where she has often received the Sacramental memorials of her Savior's dying love. Mrs. Hobbs was married to Mr. Washington Hobbs, and eight children blessed this union, who have grown to called her blessed and can look back upon her life as a beautiful memory. The children are Mrs. Howard G. Lane, Mr. Webster Hobbs, Mrs. George Philbrook, Mrs. Benjamin Colvin, Mr. Warren Hobbs, Mr. Winfield Hobbs, Miss Lucy F. Hobbs, who died in April 1903 and Miss Helen Hobbs. The sympathy of friends is extended to the husband and children so sorely bereaved, but resting upon the assurance that the mother has entered the eternal rest that remaineth for the people of God. Funeral services were held at her late residence Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 and also at the Congregational church at 3 o'clock, where the large number present testified to the esteem in which her memory is held. The services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Partington and Mr. Ross, who very plainly and consistently set forth the exemplary life and character they had found in their association with the deceased, as her pastors and friends, and realized the loss to her family, her church and the people. The remains reposed in a steel gray casket, entirely covered and surrounded by the flowers she loved. The pallbearers were Mr. Jonathan Garland, M. Lewis Perkins, Mr. Frank Marston and Mr. William T. Ross.

Next week's bill at Hampton Beach Casino will be a Western Idyl set to music and entitled "The Pride of the Ranch." The play is a three act musical comedy with scenes laid in "the Golden West." The story is of a breezy western style that for the time being, transports the audience to rolling prairies of the land of the setting sun and will prove a pleasant change from the stereotyped mythical Island usually selected for the scenes of musical comedy. The lines are full of bright comedy and the music tuneful and catchy. The cast will include Tem Whyte in one of the principal comedy roles assisted by the full strength of the excellent company now playing at the Casino. The bill will be staged under the direction of Mr. Whyte, which fact alone is an assurance of an excellent performance. "The Pride of the Ranch" will be given every afternoon and evening next week starting Monday, July 18.

The town of Hampton has not been represented in the State Senate since 1834, although it is the second largest town in the district.

Hampton has not been well treated in this matter; has your town? Hampton has never failed to support Republican senatorial candidates with large majorities. Moreover, a time has come in New Hampshire, when the people are demanding clean, able and independent men to fill their offices, who will use their influence for the benefit of the whole people.

The Republican Town Committee of Hampton takes pleasure in putting forward their fellow townsman, Mr. Howard G. Lane, as a candidate for the Senate in the Twenty-first District, whose consent has been obtained by a great deal of persuasion.

Mr. Lane is a native of Hampton and life long Republican; he has been the town treasurer for ten years, and was elected to the Legislature in 1908 by the largest vote ever received in the town.

If nominated and elected to the Senate we are confident that Mr. Lane, in a larger field, will duplicate the splendid legislative record that has been so satisfactory to his townspeople.

In the past the people of the state have not had much to say in choosing their candidates; this year, on September 6, they will vote for them direct, by a secret ballot.

Mr. Lane's name will be on that ballot.
