Greenwood,

Our boss is still on Patch Mountain
trying to assist in cutting the hay, but
finds it rather uphill business on account
of the lOwery weather. The drOuth
however, was getting severe so that al
the showers we had were needed, and al
many more.
We are glad to see John Hathaway or
his mail route once more. His sickness
was brief, but so severe as to call for q
doctor, and his looks plainly show that
he was in it. Mr.. Bacon made good
substitute, being right on the mark every
time.
We were so fortunate the other day as
to get an interview with Mrs. Emerson
(RusselD Billings, sister of B. F. Russell
whose letter appeared in the Democrat
recently. Her parents had IA children,
IL of whom arrived at maturity, three
sons and nine daughters; only one son
and five daughters are now living, and
they are scattered broadcast over the
country. Of the three brothers that
married only one became the father of a
family, and now there is but one son to
perpetuate the name of that branch of
the family.
Accidents have happened ever since
the first one occurred, if anybody knows
how long ago that was, and are liable to
for some time yet. The other day, Les
ter Morgan was leading two-year-old
heifer towards home from where she
had been pastured, and when going
down the hill little below the Bennett
place she stumbled, and instead of re-
gaining her feet fell headlong and broke
her neck. Her time to come in would
have expired in few days, which proba-
bly, was the the cause of her stumbling
that caused the fatal accident.

Fryeburg.

On Tuesday evening, August 9th, in
New Church Hall, fourteen residents OF
this vicinity, who were born in 1884, are
to have joint celebration in COM
memOration of the 10th anniversary OF
their natal year. The idea of such a
celebration was first preached by AlonzO
f. Lewis of this town (who, by the way,
was born on June ed, 1894, in the near
by hamlet of East Conway, N. H. and
Mr.. Lewis has been the leading spirit in
preparing the program of exercises for
the occasion, though his fellow septuage-
narians have taken a deep interest in the
celebration and have made many helpful
suggestions with view to ensuring its
success. The formal part of the pro-
gram for the celebration will consist of
music, of brief addresses from invited
guests and from some of the Septuage-
narians in cOmmemoration of whose
natal year the celebration is to be held,
and of the reading of letters from persons
unable to be present and of poems
specially written for the occasion. Pre-
ceding the formal part of the evenings
program, there will be an informal hour
or more for the exchange of social greet
ings, for indulgence in "reminiscences of
occurrences many years agone, and, in
general, for a do-as-one- pleases good
time. Among those who have been in
vited to honor the occasion with their
presence are +. B. Sanborn of Concord,
Mass, the well-known author; George
Thomas, Charlotte Thomas, Anterior
FurlOng and Mrs. Clara Marcelle Greene
of Portland; and, with his fiddle, John
W. Hutchinson of Lynn, Mass, the last
survivor of the famous Hutchinson
family of temperance minstrels. If Mr..
Sanboru shall be present at the celebra-
ton, he will give an address upon Rev.
Samuel Langdon, who for six years was
president of Harvard College, and upon
his son, Paul Langdon, who was the
first preceptor of our academy.

experience on Wall Street and trial of
Wall Street methods of taking, the pair
decide that they prefer buncoing farm

is too swift and dishonest for any ordi-

there are in the family, but one thing l
do know, they have little baby born
last week and hired girl. The hired
girl was born some time before the
baby.
The next neighbor is Arthur George
who is thrifty farmer and is building a
barn this summer. He also runs a
small store.
The next one is the widow Rowe and
two sons. The widow is 90 years old,
and one son is 60, but / don't know
which one.
Then you come up Greenwood Hill.
There Mr.. Conant lives, and my old
friend Moses Verrill and one Mr.. Cush-

upright man.
