​A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

For More Than Three-Score Years Mr. James Edwin Nichols Has Lived an Industrious Life in the Town of Danby, Honored and Respected by Every One.
​The face of another member of the noted “Boys’ Club” graces the MIRROR’S first page this week, and it is with much pleasure that we present it and this brief sketch of the gentleman whom it represents to each subscriber, many of them to be filed away with previous and succeeding copies of the MIRROR and handed down to future generations.

James Edwin Nichols was born October 20, 1829, in the town of Hubbardton, Vt., where his parents—Thomas and Hannah Wait Nichols—then resided. When six years of age, however, his parents removed to Danby, and settled on the farm now owned by Daniel Harrington. After residing there for seven years Mr. Nichols’ father purchased what was then known as the Deliverance Rogers farm, situated in the central part of the town of Danby, and where the subject of this sketch now lives.

Absorbed in his business, oppressed by its care,
He was seized by disease, and sank from it there;
And being possessed by an unyielding will,
He sought his physicians—it baffled their
The best of trained nurses lie sought to obtain,
Yet, do what they would, their efforts were vain;
His unyielding nature, that failure would spurn,
In a far distant land would seek health’s return.

​Hon. S. L. Griffith of Danby, Vt., who is making a tour in the East., is evidently a fish and game leaguer. He has cabled that he has played and won at Monte Carlo and his latest is that he has bathed in the river Jordan and the Dead sea. Next we will hear that he has played a game of bric-a-brac with Edward V two eyes.
