NoRTHFIELD, MASS.
President Roosevelt,s Visit.

Monday was gala day for North
field which will go down in history
as the day that President Roosevelt
visited Mortified and more than 1000
people welcomed him here. The train
crossed the border nearly on schedule
time and halted at South Vernon just
long enough to permit Congressman
Gillett and Senator Lodge to board
the train and welcome the President
back to the commonwealth. The
train stopped at Mount Hermon and
here carriages were in waiting. w. r.
Moody and the selectmen welcomed
him and drove at once to Mount Her.
mon school. They Immediately went
to the chapel and there the assembled
boys greeted him with rousing cheers
and song.
A brief speech and again the car
riage ride was resumed and a start
made for Mortified. Sheriff Doane
of Mortified and three mounted
deputies of the county escorted the
procession and at the lower end of the
street the sons of veterans, mounted,
met the company and led them through
Main street under a beautiful arch of
welcome to the Mortified where din
ner was served and the President re-
freshed by an hours rest. AS he
entered the street it was filled with
carriages and the side walks crowded
with people who joyously greeted the
nations chief.
The auditorium rapidly filled and
long before the hour for the exercises
to begin, every available seat was
taken and large numbers were stand
ing in the alleys. The Mount Her.
mon boys were seated in the rear of
the platform and as the President ap-
peared with Congressman Gillett
joined with the vast audience below
in showing their welcome. Ameri-
ca was sung after which Congressman
Gillett. in a happy manner introduced
the President to the audience. AS
the President rose the Hermon boys
rose with him and sang a song be-
ginning Here's to Teddy Roosevelt,
May God Bless you" The President
laughed and turning thanked them be-
fore beginning his speech.
At the close of the speech John
Fisher, a veteran, presented the Pres
ident in behalf of the H. H. John
son post handsome bouquet made
/ by G. w. Nation, veteran and a
son of a veteran. Another song was
sung and the exercises came to a close.
J. The President went Immediately to
the hotel where he spent the night,
leaving about $50. A pleasant feat
ure at the station, where large crowd
was gathered, was the singing of the
school children as the train moved
out of the station.
Elaborate decorations were placed
on many houses along the route and
places of business and the auditorium
was very effectively draped in the ma.
tional colors. The citizens of the
town fully realizing the honor con-
ferred by this visit did every thing
within their power to show proper ap-
probation and make the stay of their
chief as pleasant as possible. Much
credit is due the selectmen and the
other members of the committee who
so ably managed this affair.
