Patrick Duran, the old Yarmouth umbrella
man, and one of Names notables, was in town
Tuesday. Duran has been an umbrella mend
er for thirty years, and has, in that time, ac-
cumuiated property worth several thou
sand dollars by the work of his hands. He
is II years old, tall and straight an an arrow
and is probably the Oldest umbrella member
now travelling.
He owns and cultivates nice farm of eigh-
teen acres, we'll stocked, at Yarmouth, where
his family reside. He cut seventeen horse
loads of hay last summer, and is wintering

He bought the farm with the money made
by his wire and pinchers and wouldn't sell it
to-day for $1,000. Forty-fve years ago he came
to this country from Ireland. In the old couu-
try he was a fisherman. He travels continu-
ously, except in the severest weather and in
the planting and harvesting seasons, when his
services are needed on the farm.
