Mrs. Elsie J. Godfrey passed away on Sunday after two years of suffering. Sunday was her 68th birthday. She had borne her suffering with great patience and fortitude and always greeted her friends cheerfully and kept always a smiling face in their presence. Mrs. Godfrey before her marriage was Elsie J. Marden of Rye. She married Samuel F. Godfrey in 1871. There were 10 children, six died in early life. She leaves her husband, one daughter, Grace, three sons, Ralph, Arnold and Warren, one granddaughter and two grandsons, two sisters, Mrs. Ida Philbrick of Portsmouth and Mrs. Emma Young of Hampton. The services were held at the home on Wednesday conducted by Rev. A. B. Thompson, a neighbor, who had seen much of Mrs. Godfrey during her illness. There were many relatives and friends present. The Women's Relief Corps, of which the deceased was a faithful member, held their service at the close. They sang, "Nearer My God to Thee" and "Abide with Me." Each placed flowers in the beautiful bed in which she was sleeping, and left her, glad to know that she was free from her suffering, though she will be sadly missed by her family and many friends.

The invited guests were as follows: The Women's Club of Hampton Falls, West End Club, Mother's Circle, Camp Fire Girls and Whist Club. Although the afternoon proved dull the interior of the chapel was made pleasant with ferns and potted plants and a warmth of friendship prevailed among a goodly number, the invited guests bringing a varied and interesting program as follows:

A splendid paper, written and read by Mrs. Sewall Marston on Radio, was very much enjoyed, as was the paper prepared by Mrs. Esther Cram on the Four Peace Treaties, and still another very interesting paper by Mrs. Helen Batchelder, "Our Neighbors;" then a very fine piano duet by Mrs. Florence Page and Mrs. Laura Wadleigh.

The West End Club contributed a very fine paper read by Miss Frances Towle in a pleasing manner, also a duet, sung very sweetly by Mrs. Katherine and Addie James. The Mother's Circle presented the Camp Fire Girls, 16 in number, who gave a very delightful drill, the costumes of the girls adding greatly as each one kept in perfect step to the music, Mrs. Gertrude Young at the piano. Then the ladies' quartette, consisting of Mrs. Belle Perkins, Mrs. Bernice Palmer, Mrs. Edith Warren and Miss Alice Elliot sang "Spring, Sweet Spring," with encore, accompanied by Mrs. Young. It was finely rendered.

After the entertainment a social hour was enjoyed and sandwiches and coffee were served by the Monday Club, all declaring the afternoon well spent.

One was fortunate in having received an invitation to the Guest Night of the U. W. Club held on Wednesday evening, of April twelfth, in Odd Fellows Entertainment Hall. This occasion coming so near Easter, the decorations were carried out along these lines: the two yellow shades of jonquil harmonizing prettily with the green of spring. That the members who did the decorating are artists in this line, it is easy to believe. The larger hall, and the banquet hall as well, were both very beautifully and daintily decorated, crepe paper in the two shades of yellow and green being used. The banquet table was particularly dainty with festooning from the chandeliers to all corners. An unusually pretty finishing touch was given by the jonquil cups filled with nuts and Easter eggs and placed at each plate. Attached to these cups in a unique way were the place cards, and much sociability was added to the occasion by each guest being requested to find their own place at the table. Fifty-three members and guests were present. A pleasing program of music was given by Miss Lindsey and Mr. Clifford Lindsey in the early evening, followed by a social hour and a half at whist. Miss Gladys Jordan was successful in taking home the pretty casserole given as ladies' first prize, Mrs. E. G. Cole receiving ladies' second prize of a cut-glass vase; Mrs. Roscoe Palmer was well pleased with the ladies' booby prize of a cut-glass cheese dish. The gentlemen fortunate in carrying away prizes were: John Janvrin, first prize of a necktie; Robert Brown's second prize was a nice flash light, and Mr. Frank Brooks was delighted with a pack of cards received as the booby prize. Refreshments of ice cream, cake and hot coffee were served. The individual moulds of cream in form of fruits, vegetables, etc. added much to the attractiveness of the table. After the Lindsey's furnishing another short musical selection, music for dancing was played by them, and a very enjoyable evening was brought to a close. All guests voted the evening a most enjoyable one and hope to be in the front line when the club's guest night invitations are again extended.

In the superior court last Friday a verdict was awarded by the jury to the plaintiff in a suit brought by Charles Buck against John A. Janvrin to recover a claim for a commission in the sale of the Antler hotel.

Miss Elizabeth F. Perkins passed away on Sunday after many years of suffering, confined to her home by an accident causing a broken hip. Miss Perkins was faithfully cared for by her niece, Mrs. Donnell, but personal care had been given for the last eight months by Mrs. Blanch Damsell who has been wonderfully faithful and efficient. Miss Perkins was a woman of very strong character, the daughter of David and Aseneth Batchelder Perkins, she was the youngest but one of the family, born March 31, 1835. One brother, Thomas L. Perkins, survives. Miss Perkins was a pioneer teacher in the West. About 1859 she crossed the Rocky mountains on horseback, being one of the first women to accomplish this journey. She taught school in Texas and other places for 20 years then returned to Hampton to care for her aged mother. Miss Perkins was a woman whose influence was felt wherever she lived. Outspoken in her opinions, which were like herself, strong and for the right, she in her passing, has left one less whom we call of a bygone generation, but which we often feel the need of in these present times. There is much need of women like her who are not afraid to express their convictions as to what is right. Miss Perkins was buried from her late home, the last of one of the old and respected family homes. Her brother, who lived near her has the sympathy of many friends in his failing health. Rev. G. W. Clark of the Congregational church of which Miss Perkins was a member conducted the funeral services. Beautiful flowers and the presence of many neighbors and friends showed the respect of all. R. E. Tolman had charge of all the arrangements for the funeral

Hampton vs. Exeter:

A Tribute to Mrs. John C. Sanborn

Mrs. Ann H. Coffin Sanborn, wife of the late John C. Sanborn, passed away at her home in Hampton Falls on April 7th. Mrs. Sanborn will be affectionately remembered for her gracious, cheerful personality, open hearted hospitality and enduring, helpful interest in many good causes. At her attractive home the door was wide open and a hearty welcome was always assured to her large circle of friends and relatives. Surrounded by the flowers in whose culture she was successful and which she loved to share with others was a characteristic of her high ideals in life. The largely attended funeral was at the home on Sunday p.m. The casket reposed on pedestals of roses and the profusion of exquisite emblems and Easter lilies testified to the love and affection of the givers. She leaves to mourn her loss six devoted children: Mrs. George L. Garland of Gloucester, Mass., Mrs. Charles C. Seavey of North Hampton, Miss Fidele Sanborn and Miss Annie C. Sanborn of Hampton Falls and two sons, J. Elmer Sanborn and Everett P. Sanborn. A noble life has ended, but there remains a precious legacy of memories, of looks, of words, of deeds. To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.

G. A. R. Encampment:

Following is the report of the delegates from Perkin's Post, G. A. R. and the W. R. Corps of this town to the Annual Encampment of the order last week in Concord.

Camp-Fire was held at the auditorium, on the night of April 13, under the direction of Adjutant General, Frank A. Battles.

Gov. Brown was unable to be present, having been called to Lancaster to attend the funeral of one of New Hampshire's most prominent men, the Secretary of State. Edwin C. Bean brought from the governor his deep regrets and extended a welcome to the G. A. R. and all present. Addresses of welcome were also given by Mayor Chamberlin and Comrade Allen of Haverhill, Mass., a veteran of the Vermont Regiment, who spent his 14th birthday in the city of Algiers, Louisiana, in 1861.

The usual tokens of respect and esteem were presented by the Women's Relief Corps and the Sons of Veterans to the Adjutant General of the G. A. R.

The W. R. C. this year presented a beautiful silk flag to the Unitarian church of Concord, in loving memory of Addie Dionne.

Rev. Patterson, pastor of that church accepted the flag with a few selected and appropriate remarks.

The Commander-in-Chief of the G. A. R. gave a very able and forcible address, his theme being, "Preparedness for Our Country Against Possible Invasion of Foreign Powers."

Comrade Hosely of Chester, N. H., addressed the assembly and he also preaches preparedness. He mentioned also that there was a movement to make the birthday of Robert E. Lee a national holiday, and reported that the G. A. R. at their last meeting voted not to accept the motion to make Lee's birthday a national holiday. Women's Auxiliary and other orders reported taking the same action.

President of National W. R. C. and Women's Auxiliary also gave interesting and able addresses of welcome. Other organizations represented were the Ladies of the G. A. R. and the Daughters of Veterans.

Excellent musical program was provided and Charles Nevers of Concord Band rendered a cornet solo, "Silver Threads Among the Gold," in a most pleasing manner.

Camp-Fire closed with the singing of America by the audience at 10:30.
