BROOKS. We We're very glad last week to
meet Cyrus Roberts of Lawrence, Mass,
who came to Brooks, his birthplace, to see
his friends and to visit the old home, or
rather the place where the old home once
was, for no trace of the buildings is now
left and the grass is growing green on the
spot where the house once stood. One OF
our earliest recollections, however, Is of the
place on the Sprout Hill road where Mr..
Roberts passed his boyhood. He is regu.
| lar subscriber to The journal which he takes
principally for the news from Waldo county
and specially from Brooks. Mrs. Lydia
Dean, life long resident of this town, died
