Clinton. Me-. Aug. 15.-(Special)-
This has been a glorious day for this
town, for the magnificent gift of one of
her sons who has not forgotten his old
home was formally dedicated and
turned over to the town. The gift will
be known to future generations as the
Brown Memorial Library. and the
memory its generous donor. William
w. Brown of Portland. will be cherish
ed with the kindest care.
The day was very unfavorable for
the dedication, but Notwithstanding
there was a large attendance Of the
citizens at the exercises which were
held in the Town hall. "A short distance
from the new library building. The
people came in from the countryside
in every direction and by the time the
hour set for the exercises had arrived
the town was full. There We're teams
everywhere and every public stable
was filed to the doors.
Not only was the town of Clinton it
self represented. but also many sur-
rounding towns.
There was a goodly number from
Waterville Fairfield and other towns
below and above Clinton On the river
while Mr.. Brown came from Portland
by special train with a party of about
80 friends and relatives. In one way
the day was favorable, as the farmers
could leave their crops and farm work
with a clear conscience and give them
selves up u the enjoyment Of the oc-
casion.
The handsome little library building
was inspected by admiring crowds be
fore the exercises and by almost as
many after the completion of the pro-
gram. Many a kind word about the
donor was heard and the good spirit Of
the occasion was contagious. so that
anyone could not fail to have a goo l
time.
The Town hall was crowded long be
fore the hour, and chairs had to be
placed in every available spot, but
even then there We're many standing.
