RIVER ROAD.
The school team started again on it's
regular trips last Monday. 1t is the
old line, having run between the river
road and village since the new law
took effect. At present the northern
limit is drawn in making the distance
but two miles, eight day and forty
each week. The same team has the
mail route of two miles, two and half
from the starting place. Sixty miles
week or total of one hundred besides
extra drives. On the whole quite a
busy job for one horse and man long
since grey from years of service.
w. A. Tarbox has what is left of the
river road milk route, for instead of
one team as formerly there are now
four or five. Several former patrons
at the north end have changed to So.
Newbury claiming to realize better re-
suits. There are many ways of pleas
ing new customers and tricks in all
trades but ours. Our creamery is now
receiving about 1000 lbs. of milk per

Cary Risley was home from Hanover
on furlough for Thanksgiving till Mon
day night, Nov. Both, when about
wife that twenty years had rounded
mn s.since first the marriage knot was
tied" The gathering seemed well
enjoyed by all.
Twenty-Five years ago two subjects
of universal interest engaged the at
tention and enlisted the efforts of
town insurance company, and the es-
tablishment of a depot and privileges
at Calcutta" The first resulted in
immediate success, the company being
organized under the General Statutes
and commenced business early in the
season. The other effort commenced
in II of at least equal Importance, has
been accomplished piecemeal, little by
little, one by one. A broad board
across the way, the letters on one side
inverted, advising cripples. invalids
and small boys to get out of the way
while the bell rings was what we had
at the start; today after twenty-five
years of untiring effort we have love
of depot with a roof and chimney.
1t may require new silling before com
pletion but even now it is pleasant to
look upon.
In noticing these events a quarter
century past your correspondent had
most in mind the havoc time has made
with the strong earnest men who took
part in them, particularly the same in
both enterprises. The charter mem
bers of the Insurance Company as
shown by the records were "a. p,
Gould, L. E. Risley, G. w. Stevens,
Uri Chandler, Corydon Dodge, II. H.
Palmer. Moses Mead, George Dodge,
George Blaisdell, Benjamin Hibbard,
Jeremiah Bean, Moses Learned and
their associates" only three of the
twelve men now living, Hibbarde
Palmer and Risley, and in most of the
policies today new names are written.
OF those across the river. petitioners
and cO-workers for depot facilities, we
recall the names of Bliss, Pickett,
Kent, Carter, Barber, Fuller Stearns.
Renfrew, Nourse, Ormsby and others,
all whom ''are not" Another quarter
century and there will scarcely be one
who lived among the actors of II.
