WATERFORD.
odd HOnIe'' Day.

One OF the very few Caledonia county
towns to have an "Old Home" cele-
bration this year is Waterford, and ev-
erything points to as successful an occa-
sion as that of last year. The date is set
for Wednesday, August 20, just little
beyond the border of "Old Home Week"
but the haying season is so backward
this year it was thought best to set the
date a little later. The committee in
charge of arrangements consists OF E. b.
Hovey, B. K. Graves and Elisha Brown
The same general plan that made last
years celebration so enjoyable, will be
followed this year. A bountiful dinner
will be served in the church at Lower
Waterford, to be followed by an interest
ing program in which it is hoped Ex
Senator Ross, of St. Johnsbnry, and
Hon. Franklin D. Hale, OF Lunenburg
two sons of whom Waterford is justly
proud, will participate. 1t will be q
glorious opportunity for residents anc
