bulletined as promoted to the rank of

just received word of his sons promo

Sergeant Stone was born in Spencer.

Commissioner Emerson Stone, and his
mother Clementine G. Boyden. n Mr..
Stone was educated in the Spencer pub
lie schools, graduating from the David
Prouty high school in 1898. Shortly af-
ter his graduation the young officer was
the local Worcester Spy reporter, leav-
| ing The Spy to enter the insurance
business with his father
Mr.. Stone was always very enthusi-
astic over military affairs, and in 1895
Joined the Luther Hill Camp, Sons of
| Veterans, and soon after joining the
camp was elected to the office of first
sergeant. In December 1885, Sergeant
Stone was elected captain, which Office
was left vacant when he enlisted in the
| first part of June to enter the service
! of his country About four weeks af-
ter Mr.. Stone had been in the service
| he filled the office of acting corporal,
which he held for a short time, after
which he was duly appointed corporal.
And finally to the great pleasure of
| his friends, Corporal Stone has gone
another step higher, and is now the
wearer of three stripes instead of two.
| Sergeant Stone is very popular in
| Spencer, and at the time of his depart
ure for the front was given a rousing
send-om by his many friends The
young man has tried many times to get
a furlough for few days, but has not
as yet been successful, although prob
ably he will have a chance to come
home before many moons are gone.
| Corporal Manion, another Spencer
boy and member of Mr.. Stones regi-
ment, has just arrived home from JEFF
ferson barracks, and reports Sergeant
Stone in excellent health. Mr.. Manion
said that almost the last thing NJ
| Stone said to him was: 81 wish that
could go home with you, but tell the
boys it won't be long before I will try
to get up and see them Mr.. Manion
now, however, has received an honor
able discharge from the United States
service, and will probably once more
settle down in Spencer.

THE FIRST NEW CAR.
One of the new Worcester and Subur-
ban vestibule electric cars made its first
appearance in Spencer this afternoon
at o'clock. On board the car was
Superintendent of the Road German
and President Watson. The car was
beauty, and greatly admired by all
who saw it, One great advantage of the
new cars is the arrangement of
the seats. Instead of the seats being
run along the side of the car, they now
face the 'front.'. each seat being wide
enough for two, there being two rows
of seats with an aisle between. But
the greatest advantage of the whole car
is the yestibule, which protects the mo-
torman from the cold winter storms.
1t is certainly true that when a man
stands on the front end of a car during
a winter, he works in one of the coolest
places OIL earth.
A FUNNY AFFAIR.
The Donovans appeared this evening
before a large house, at the town hall
in their laughing success, 'Dewey's Re
ception in McFadden's Alley" under
the management of Robert Mills. The
