Mass, formerly Julia Gouger of this
town, has been stopping at the John
son House during the past week.
The Jones family all went for ID pic
nic to Eden Pond last Friday. There
were enough of them to fill the Ocean
Wave and make very merry party.
John Hayford and wife entertained
their six nephews and nieces from
Fletcher last Saturday. They are the
children of Mr.. Hayford's sister, Mrs.
Alice Havtord Kinsley, who was form
erly well-known in this town.
Julius Mudgett lost one of his
horses last night. This is rather
hard on julie, as he has just gone to
farming on his own responsibility.
Now is a good time to remember the
scripture saying, Bear we one an
others burdens"
V. A. Patch, as he was on his way
to Morrisville last Tuesday morning,
was thrown from his road-cart and
dragged some distance, breaking two
ribs on his left side. He was consid-
cred to be in a critical condition for
two days, but is better now.
The Clement Rally that was held
here last Wednesday eve, drew full
house-maDy being present from
Worthwhile and Hyde Park. Sewell
Newton introduced the speaker and
he told the same old story. He was
given a respectful hearing but we do
not believe he made many converts
DR.. F. Wells and mother of Frelighs
burg, P. @, were at the johnson
House the nrst of the week. 1t is
understood that DR.. Wells is thinking
of locating here permanently. 1t
seems as if this might be a good
opening for dentist as now all re-
curing dental work are obliged to
go out of town.
Ernest Bicknell has gone to Sacre-
mento, Cal. His many friends here
sincerely hope thai he may recover
his strength and return to his home
here with new and stronger lease
upon life. He will go direct to his
aunt, who was formerly Miss Abbie
Bicknell, one of Johnson's most esti.
mable young ladies.
1t is hoped that every one will avail
themselves of the opportunity of
hearing Mrs. Callie Howe of ST..
Joseph, Mo-, at Ithiel Falls camp
ground Monday, Sept 1st, which is
temperance day. She is an eloquent
and forceful speaker and has labored
in the interests OF the W. C. T. Z. for
many years. Do not miss the rare
opportunity of hearing this gifted
woman.
AS Mr.. and Mrs. Willard Warren
and daughter, Ada, were coming
down the hill from Henry Manches-
ter's house in Cambridge last Friday
Mr.. Warren stopped the horse at the
loot of the hill to speak to man and
on starting up the horse became un-
manageable and ran backward, back
ing the wagon over the bank and
upsettiDg. it; throwing out the Occu-
pants and injuring Mrs. Warren
very severity about the head and
neck.
The family reunion picnic was held
in the grove of s. Stebbins, the old
Griswold homestead, on Wednesday,
the goth, and passed off very pleas
antly. A permanent organization
was formed, to meet annually, and
officers elected as follows: President
W. F. Griswold; Secretary, Mabel E.
Ober; Committee Of Arrangements,
W. F. Griswold, P. G. Blake and wife,
Ed Lilley and vile. George Baker
was on the ground and made some
good pictures from several different
sittings. Sixty.two of the Griswold
connections were present besides a
few Others. The time and place of
next meeting will be announced in
due time through this paper.
