And Wouldn't l like to give that to

the platform of the window, l casually
busted Off Santa Claus beard and va

years ago this Christmas. 1t was just
the week before 1 started for home and

Harrison was Incorporated as a town
on March s. 1906, and a movement is on
foot to duly celebrate the centennial of
the event at some suitable time during
the coming summer. An extensively
signed petition asking that a meeting
OF take action in regard to the matter
be called at an early date. was recently
handed to the selectmen. and in obedi-
ence to the request meeting was
called to be held Dec. 10. The meeting
was not extensively advertised nor was
the subject agitated to any great ex-
tent. and as consequence only a small
number were present. All present.
however, were heartily in favor OF the
proposed celebration. and 1t Is though,
that there will be practically unanf-
nous action in favor of It, A curious
fact in regard to the meeting was that
only two persons were present who
were born in town. and one of those did
not get to the meeting until just after
It was declared adjourned. There were
several present who had moved into
town when quite Young. and others who
were comparatively !. recent comera
