New Portland,

On the evening of the 9th of May, the
friends and neighbors of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Walton assembled at their resi-
dence and bore to them the greetings
which are customary on the 18th ami
yersary of their welded life Some
fifty were present and received the cor :.
dial welcome of Mr.. and Mrs. alton
The evening WAS probably spent in
social conversation, innocent anuse-
ments, and singing. Mr.. A. StArbird i,
Mrs. 7. Webb, Mrs. Z. Perry, Mrs. W.
Lovejoy and Mrs. l. knowlton each rem
dered piece of music to the delight OF
the guests. Refreshments were served.
At the request of Mr.. and Mrs. " alton,
Mr. II. F. Weymouth called the atten-
ton of the guests and then called on
Rev. L Hutchins, who spoke in behalf
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Walton, thanking the

the many tokens in form of silverware
and other articles presented. Also ap-

to the quarter of century of married

The Town Meeting.

A very good representation of our
people were out to the town meeting,
Saturday afternoon. At the hour APP.
pointed r. f. Paine called the meeting
to order and read the warrant. Orlando
Walker was elected moderator and the
bond question was Immediately brought
before the house. The subject was
briefly discussed and the expression of
the town was, almost to a man, for re-
tanning the bonds, unless the sum of
1927, 800, or about that amount, which
the town gave in 1851, could be obtain
ed, not to mention the in crest that has
accumulated ON these bonds since they
were issued.
The somerset Railway made an offer
of $1,000 for them, which seemed SO
small, as compared with the debt, that
the town gave it no consideration what
ever, and when the amount offered was
made known speedy adjournment of
the meeting followed.-Anson Advocate.

BathIng an ELEPHANT.

If there is one thing which an ele-
plant enjoys above all things else, il is
his bath In India elephants are used
to draw the great guns of the heavy
batteries. They take their baths in the
barracks, at the troughs where they
drink. and they behave much better
about it than many children. They
have to lie down and be patient while
they are washed by their attendants
They turn themselves about very
promptly to suit their convenience.
The attendant rubs the hide with a
piece Of stone instead of sponge, and
If the stone slips out of his hand the
elephant politely picks it up with his
trunk and hands it back. After they
have been well scrubbed the elephants
give themselves shower bath, using
their trunks to dash the water upon
themselves and they can hit any part
of their bodies with ease.
