Mr.. Smillie who came to this town
from Barnet i'll 1869, is now in the
SGD year of his life, and is man re-
markably preserved for one of his
years with the exception of defective
eye sight, his years rest lightly upon
him in his mental faculties and erect
and sprightly carriage. His sons and
even grand children may take pattern.
Mr.. Smile was born in Scotland and
is always proud of his native country,
is well read and intelligent, with re-
markable memory and is the best in
formed man in Scotch lore in this val

Mr.. Adams who is making our viii
lage his temporary home, gathering
facts for his Orange County history, is
gentleman and we are pleased to say
is being well received. 1t is the duty
of every citizen to render Mr.. Adams
cheerful aid in his undertaking. New
bury is the banner town of Orange
county and its history will be no UNI
important part of that of Orange
county.

many years since this valley has asked
the state for such aid. and were the
people of our commonwealth as we'll
posted in the history of the early strug-
giles of the pioneer settlers as they
ought to be, they would better under

wisely when modest request is placed
at their disposal.
