The Century Chest to be Opened
Jan. LIST 1000.
What a treasure to US would
have been a chest of this kind,
which l shall presently describe,
handed down from our Highland
ancestors of one hundred years ago;
In this age of rapid progress
what will old Highland and our lit
tie town of Monterey be like a
hundred years hence when the
grand sons of young Jacob" will
sit in "ye editors" chair and delve
among the musty old papers OF the
Clerks office?
Surely it would not require
much expense only a little trouble
to collect and preserve a complete
pen picture of our county and
town as they are today,
Come all ye Highlanders, who
can WELD pen; for this chest we
will want brief history of every
Highland born citizen Of our coun-
ty, written by himself tgetoher
with pilot o's of himself. his home
or place of business and descrip-
ton of his mode Of life.
Our old fashioned houses are be-
ing rapidly pulled down and replac'
ed by new ones of modern style
This should not be.
These old houses must be pho
tographed for our chest and ac-
companied by little sketch OF the
old families who have lived and
worked, hoped suffered and died in
them.
Some one-W A Bussard per-
haps can make us a miniature spin
ming wheel. Some one else can
furnish us handful of rolls,
a bit of home spun yarn and a hall
knit sock. A small piece of rag
carpet, linsey woolsey and home
woven jeans would not be out Of
place.
Some of our honest faced carpet
weavers must be pictured on the
loom as she plies her shuttle.
A hundred years to come not a
sugar grove may be standing IN
Highland, so we will put a cake OF
maple sugar, with description OF
the process of making and the
name and picture Of the maker OF
it.
Our fair girls may contribute
any bit of handiwork. dainty or
otherwise, with picture, name and
birth place of the donor.
Every house and place of bust
ness in Monterey must be photo
graphed for this purpose, not omit
ting our faithful mail carrier hack
and, horses.
We know our kind friend Sud-
darth will do his best and furnish
pictures that the coming years will
not fade.
Bits of interesting mineral, care
fully labelled, also a relic or so
from the Indian mound on the
farm Of Mr.. Il. H. Terry on Jack

The sylvan ioveliness of our
country is bound to GO, our forests

and whistle of locomotives will un-
doubtedly change our mode of life.
our occupations and population; so
let us appoint a thorough going
pushing committee and go to work
in earnest that we may have our
"Centnry Chest" ready to seal on
the evening of Dec. 81. 1902, to be
opened by the citizens of Monterey,
on Jan, 1. 1000.
