A Genius Indeed.

The many friends and relatives of
George w. Wilson Of Concord, n. H.,
were pleased to receive a visit from
him a short time ago. Mr.. Wilson was
born in Bradford in 1922. His parents
We're among the earliest settlers Of the
town, and lived on the farm Row own
ed by John Emerson and son, on the
west side of Wright's Mountain.
Mr. Wilson is self-made man and
another genius who went out from
among us. His education was mostly
acquired at the district school, al
though for few terms he attended the
Bradford Academy. When boy, only
twelve years of age, he was found by
his grandfather one day busily engag-
ed i'll grinding piece of optical glass
on the grindstone, which he used for a
spy glass. Since then he has acquired
j name and fame for making tele-
rcopes, microscopes and fine mathe-
matical Instruments. When at work
With the Clark in Cambridge making
spy glasses to be used on naval vessels,
both LOngfellow and Agassiz came to
see the noted telescope maker. Long
fellow picking up the long brass barrel
OF a telescope remarked that he ''rath-
en- see those made than cannOn;" and
AgassiZ became so interested in study
ing new specimen Of fish, by the aid
of the microscope, that he forgot an
important lecture engagement.
Mr.. Wilson was much pleased with
the Improvements in our village and
especially with the library and school
buildings. He thought all the old
friends would be pleased to donate
Spmpt h inc for thp hook pOpn1 tba ra1f
ing room or the curio hall, and thus
make it an attractive and interesting
place for both young and old. While
looking around the school building. he
saw the old spy glass, which was the
first one he ever saw, and it seemed to
Kim like an old friend. He said if the
tiustees would send it to his shop in
Concord he would repair it and make
ii as good as new. James Wilson, the
man who constructed the first globe in
America and who also lived in town,
was brother of Geo. w. Wilson's
