 Union loses one of its old friends by ths death of Mrs. Mary Foster Needham, of Monson, at the age of 92. Born in Union, and spending her early life here, she had many warm friends.

 At the old Sam Paul tavern, built in 1911, situated in the south easterly part of Union, now owned by L. M. Reed, on the eve on January 7th, about no of the friends and neighbors of MT. and Mrs. Reed met and held social party. Un- ion, Ashford, Eastford and Stafford were represented. The evening was spent in visiting and dancing, with bountiful oyster supper being served. Music was furnished by Messrs. Booth, Schof1eld, and Bickford. The company ranged in ages from a five-weeks.old babe to the gray hairs of seventy eight winters, and all seemed to enjoy themselves very much There is quite large number oi the older people in this and adjoining towns who have spent many pleasant evenings in the old tavern in by4gone years, and there are.als6 many very wide. ly scattered, some being in the far west who will, no doubt, be pleased to learn that the old hotel is still standing and in good condition. It has been thirty-five years since there has been anything oi the kind to disturb the peace and quiet ness of the old hotel. It has outlived five of its owners and occupants, and we all wish that it may stand for many years to come. J. Fl. 3.
