Death of George w. Gray.

Our people were greatly saddened on
Sunday last to learn that George W.
Gray, one of the oldest and best known
me. chants of our town, had suffered a
paralytic shock on his way home from
his place of business, Saturday evening.
They were further saddened on Christ
mas evening to learn that he died about
3 o'clock in the afternoon of that day.
Mr.. Gray came to this town "a years
ago from the town of Freeport, where
he had been 10 business. established him
self in trade, made his home here and
was continuously in the stove aud tin
ware business in the same store on Wa
ter street until his death. For several
years Mr. 4. B. Foss, now of Worcester,
Mass, was associated with him under
the firm name of Gray & Foss, but for
thirteen years past he has been the sole
proprietor.
Mr.. Gray was worthy member of the
Congregational church here, and of
Carrabasset Lodge, |. o. O. f. also of
Parmenas Excampment and Canton
Somerset of that order. He was a
public spirited citizen, an honorable bus
mess man, genial, warm hearted friend
and loving husband and father. No
man 10 Skowhegan had more warm
friends and If he had an enc my it GER
tainly was not his fault. He was be-
loved by associates and people who
knew him as few men can be.
George W. Gray was born in Portland.
April 1925, was happily married to Miss
Isabella True of North Yarmouth in
1852 Two children were boru to them,
daughter, now Mrs. A. w. Wildes, and
son. Edward, who died IS years ago at
the age Of 90 years. The wife and
daughter survive him and one sister,
Mrs. Wells, who resides in Massachu-
sets. Upon them this death is crush
ing blow, and they have the deep sympa-
thy of citizens of Skowhegan.
The funeral services will be held at the
family home, Tomorrow, Friday, at II

Save Labor with the Broom

Arrange your poultry house so that all
cleaning can be done with the broom.
To do this. keep the floor well covered
with dry dirt, and when the house is to
be cleaned simply sweep OFT the floor and
scatter fresh dirt using an extra quantity
under the roosts. In this manner the
work can be done in a few minutes and
the droppings can be placed in barrels, as
the dirt will assist in preserving them.
