Fifty Years Ago.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: | am
standing to-day on the banks Of the Penob
scot, where fifty years ago we gathered to
take the last farewell of those of my father 8
family who would never return. George
Allen and Hubbard Grant married three of
my fathers sisters and in 1S47 left for the
West. l am standing on the very same spot
where we stood to watch the steamer as she
gided down the bay and out of sight How
plainly, although then child, can rem en-
Der and see the waving of hands to those on
shore whom they would never meet again.
What changes have taken place since that
time. The old house is gone, and nothing is
left to mark the spot but the cellar. Father
dead more than twenty-years mother ninety
years old; one sister gone; two married,
with families-and the writer nearing sixty.
What pleasant memories, what fond recol-
lections, still cling as we tread the same
paths and roam over the same fields where
fifty years ago, with brother and sister or
schoolmates, we passed many pleasant
hour. The old Penobscot still rolls on to-
ward the sea- Time has not changed its
course. IT is the same with the river yester-
day, tomorrow and forever. Other things
change-the Penobscot does uot-grand,
noble old river! VISITOR.

llOOO FlllS with Hoods Sarsaparlla
Obituary.

On the eighth day of June, after eight or
nine months of patient suffering, Mr. G. W.
Crockett gently crossed the great divide
Mr.. Crockett was born in Prospect, May p -,
1929 He passed the most of his life i'll his
native town. He had nine brothers and
four sisters. of whom but two brothers and
two sisters survive. He was twice married.
His first wife was Miss Lydia Littleteld of
Prospect; his second Mrs. Sarah Robbins of
Searsport No children blessed either union.
1t could we'll be said of Mr. Crockett that he
was the noblest work of God for he was an
honest man, and kind and obligiug neigh
Dor. 1t seemed to be his aim to do all the
good he could to the sick and lonely. God
sent him the blessing that is for those who
can claim the "inasmuch.i His memory
will long be cherished for his kindly acts to
the sick and sorrowing. He had three
physicians to treat him, and his wife nursed
him with tender care: but no earthly power
could save him. In his religious views he
was a spiritualist, and died firm in that be-
lief. His death was like the burning down
of a candle. Mr.. Crockett was laid to rest in
the village cemetery the eleventh of June.
Rev. 0 H. Fernaid Of Searsport conducted
the funeral services and made very appro-
pirate remarks.

The appointment of Hon. Fred At
wood of Winterport as a trustee of the re-
form school is gratifying alike to the ap-
pointee, who has manifested great interest
in the institution, and to his many friends
in this his native county and throughout
the State. The appointment has been re-
ceived with general commentator. The
Bangor Wing and Coulter says: "Gover-
nor Powers has placed the right man in
the right place No man in the State has
greater interest in this institution than
Mr.. Atwood, to whose efforts in its be-
half is largely due the marked change
that has taken place in public sentiment
concerning the usefulness of the school,
This is particularly true of the eastern
section of the State. Mr.. Atwood has
taken an intelligent and effective interest
both in the school and it inmates. He is
perfectly familiar with the work of the
school, having served on the committee
of the Executive Council, and will make
valuable addition to the Board of Trus-
tees The Kennebec Journal says:
In naming Hon. Fred Atwood for trus-
tee OF the State reform school, Governor
Powers has made an excellent appoint
meut. The duties of that Office will be
congenial to Colonel Atwood, we believe,
for we are acquainted with the admirable
work he did, when as member of Cover
nor Ceaves' council he served on the re-
form school committee. The develop
ment Of the boys in that institution, into
respectable men, and all measures for
promoting that noble work, appealed very
strongly to the generous, helpful nature
of Colonel Atwood and he responded with
his characteristic zeal throughout his
term in that capacity, and since his inter
est, Notwithstanding the many demands
upon his time and energies, has never
tagged. Anything which had promise
of help and encouragement for "the
boys" as he fondly termed them, enlists
his efforts Immediately. This is one of the
most valuable of all our State institutions,
and the youth who there are trained to
become useful citizens will profit much
from the appointment of Colonel Atwood
to the board of trustees.
