The Fourth in our vicinity was ushered
in by procession of small boys and those
of larger growth, who, armed with drum,
horns, firecraekers, etc, became for a
while literal ''disturbers Of the peace.
But as Independence Day comes only once
year everyone can afford to lose little
sleep on that occasion, il he may thereby
encourage the s'small boy" to eyince his
patriotism.
At noon quite a gathering Of CHANGERS
and townspeople assembled in the grove
opposite the town hail and enjoyed pic
mic dinner. After dinner the adults re-
paired to the town hall, where F. l.. Hodg-
kins called the meeting to order, and in
troduced Raymond Mcfarland, principal
OF Leicester Mass academy.
Mr. Mcfarland referred briefly to the
days spent by him in that hall as student
and teacher, and OF the changes wrought
by the ssonward march of time''. He con-
trasted the condition Of our country
to-day with what it was in Washington's

time, and closed his remarks with fit
ting tribute to the memory Of Sec. Hay.
Mr.. Hc5gkins then introduced Prof.
Arthur Reynolds, of the faculty of Pinker-
ton academy, Derry, n. II. Mr.. Reynolds
recalled the last time that he stood on that
platform as a school boy, and spoke of the
pleasure he always experienced in return
ing to this his first and dearest home.
IN speaking of the day which we were
then celebrating, he reminded his hearers
OF the fact that when we commemorate
our country's independence, we com
memorate not only the signing Of the
Declaration OF Independence, but all the
battles and victories which gave us power
to throw OFF our allegiance to the British
crown; We commemorate not only
victories, but the men who made those
victories possible.
After speaking of the debt which we, as
nation, owe to our forefathers, he made
local application of the principle, and
spoke very tenderly and impressively of
the early settlers OF this town and espec-
tally of the noble character of those of
the past generation; and urged upon those
of the present day the fulflment of the
debt of gratitude they owe their ancestors,
by striving to emulate them in every good
word and work.
Both speakers were heard with interest
and probation, not only for the value
OF their remarks, but also because they
are home tboys" of whom any town may
justly be proud
Later in the afternoon the baseball nine
played game at Salisrury Cove with the
nine of that place. Th9 home team was
victorious. Quite party TO our vicinity

DEATH OLE Josie NJ. GRAY


Miss Josie NJ. Gray, who died at the
home of her parents, Joseph and Adelia
Gray, ON June 2S, in the twenty-ninth
year of her age, was the youngest OF four
daughters. The three who remain to
mourn her loss with thsir parents are
Miss Annie Gray, Mrs. Louise Casper, and
Miss Gertrude Gray, all of whom were
with her in her last moments.
1t being the first break in a happy
family circle, the loss falls with a crush
ing weight on those who remain, and, is
felt by the whole town where she was
widely known. She had taught in all
parts Of Surry, as well as in Blnehill,
Ellsworth, and in different towns in
Washington county, always with a marked
success. She was te,cher who loved her
work and devoted her whole energy to it.
She was a brilliant scholar, graduating
from the Eastern State normal school at
Castine, class OF 1902, with high rank.
She was one OF four teachers who took the
highest rank in a State examination of
$500. In church work she was ever ready
do all she could. She was Jealous in Sun
day school and Christian Endeavor work.
Truly her loss is felt by all here. II was
a sad day to her young associates when
she was laid at rest among profusion of
flowers sent by loving friends from differ
emit towns. All realize that we do not
miss her now as We shall in the future
when we ask who viii fill her place. May
the God whom she learned TO love and
trust years ago, and whose presence
helped her through suffering TO say: aft is
well, comfort those. mourning hearts.
