MARTINS RIDGE. !

Sketch of an Interesting Section of
the Town of Franklin.
A generation ago Martins Ridge was
the parent village of Franklin, but has
long since been outgrown by Its village
Offspring; the latter is now the town.
Lumber operations prior to and during
the era of the Franklin Land, Mill &
Water Co., was done on q big scale In this
whole section, and the virgin growth
afforded many q chance for the old set
tiers to break q record In chopping, haul
ing, yarding or saving feats.
To-day only one family lives on the
ridge where once nearly q hundred souls
were born and reared. The families OF
this place we're the Buffers, Crabtrees and
Springers. They all took flight in one
way and another, leaving Daniel Crsbtree
the king OF the ridge and monarch OF a
vast survey. Excepting his well-kept
home, all others are derelict, and nothing
remains but here and there an old cellar,
an old apple-tree or fragmented grave
markers.
The oldtime history OF this once i'm
portant settlement could be learned In
no better way than perhaps from some
aged viilager In town, and a reference to
early issues OF THE ELLSWORTH AMERI-
CAN.
The surviving family now consists of
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Crabtree and one
or two of their youngest children, and
their time is easily passed and Q living
made by catering to the visiting sports
men from the cities, most of whom are
brought here by Rufus Young. of South
Hancock, Mr.. Young has for twenty
years conducted parties in bunting and
fishing at what is called Guagus.
Government fish have been put in these
waters In years past, and now good fish
ing can be guaranteed to all who come.

After leaving the railroad at the foot Of

mite onto Beechland ridge. This ridge has
been the home Of some very smart men,
some of whom have gone into the outside
world, while others have done well at

and Murches. The old home shades and
some new cottage homes are now occu-
pied by families who are In business or
engaged In farming.

more than vegetables. DR.. Edward c.
Hooper, of Fairfield, a successful practi-
toner, came from this homestead.
Several families of Hoopers and Jelh-
sons helped TO make useful school
building during the past generation, but
now there are so few children that the
building is entirely out OF repair; the few
remaining attend school at Beecniand.
Nearer town is the Daniel Piper place,
with unique history. Death has taken
nearly all of them, and the home place Is
now owned by Arthur Varnum, who is
building up good business buying and
selling eggs, poultry and garden truck
Near Ryefield district lie the home place
of the Eldridge family. This is a family
of workers who have got around them
selves quite enough to enjoy life, and
although some deaths In the family and
sickness have made life uphill for them,
they have hope always In view.
The pond itself serves as a bridge for
business purposes in winter. 1t is well
stocked with black bass and other game
fish, and is a uch-frequented and pretty
sheet OF water when open.

A CLEVER ILLUSTRATION
WITH CONCLUSIVE PROOF.

There is an old formula in philosophy
which says that no two things can oc-
cupy the same place at the same time.
As simple illustration, drive nail in
TO board and you will find with every
stroke of the hammer, the nail will force
aside the particles of wood into which it
is being driven, finally making place
for itself, and proving that the nail and
the wood do not occupy the same place
at the same time.
DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS
AND BLADDER and DR.. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy cannot occupy
the same place at the same time. Ifyou
are troubled with frequent pains in the
back; if your urine stains linen; if you
urinate frequently during the night, and
burning pain accompanies its passage,
your kidneys and bladder are III bad
shape and should be treated at once.
Every dose of DR. DAVID KEN
NEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY slowly
but surely pushes aside some of the par
ticles of the dread diseases of the kid
neys and bladder. liver, blood, rheuma-
tism, dyspepsia and constipation, until
they completely disappear. Do not lose
faith or find fault. if you are not entirely
cured by one bottle, because if these dis
eases have fastened their grip on you
the longer and harder it is to drive them
away.
