The January thaw was almost record
breaker. Sunday of last week was an
April day. Monday and Tuesday were
foggy and muggy and almost hot, and
the snow ran in streams. By Tuesday
night the sleighing was practically gone,
and Wednesday the teams coming into
the village from outside were on wheels.
From the time the snow came it had
been about as pretty run of sleighing
as was ever seen.
Perley Crockett, the motorman who
was so severely injured in the trolley &C
cident on the Portland and WestbrOok
line last Monday morning, is well known
here, having formerly lived in Norway
and been employed in the two towns.
His first experience in driving cars was
on the Norway and Paris Street Railway.
His leg was broken, and internal injuries
were feared in addition to the general
shaking up, but he is doing well and will
recover.
Tuesday was about the hardest day for
railrOading that has been seen in long
time. All day the fog was so dense that
no man could see six car lengths in any
direction, and locomotive, no matter
how closely watched for, would loom up
out of the fog almost over ones head
before he was fully aware OF its APP
prOach. Ii was possible to move trains
about in the yard only by means of
whistle signals from one engine to an
other, and trains were run on the block
system all day, train following another
not being allowed to leave station until
the train ahead was reported at the next
station.
Joseph Knight died at his home in
this village Wednesday morning, Jan.
"a, at the age of S. years. Mr.. Knight
was the son of Isaac knight, who settled
in South Paris before 1920, and Joseph
was born and always lived here. He
was shoemaker by trade, and except
for one brief interval, followed that trade
in this village until advancing years pre-
vented. He married Phebe, daughter of
Jonas Hamilton, who died three or four
years ago. They had seven children, OF
whom five are now living: Ella p,
wife of A. C. Farwell, of York Beach ;
Miss Alice b. Knight of South Paris;
Jonas NJ. Knight of Jamaica Plain,
Mass; Henry A. Knight of Chapman,
Kansas; and Edwin W. Knight of South
Paris. The funeral was held at the
home on Oxford Street Friday afternoon,
attended by Rev. A. X. Baldwin.
Some may remember that in April,
1908, a traveller calling himself ''Sailor
JEAN" and pushing a wheelbarrow OF
somewhat eccentric build which he
called ''trolleyette," passed through
South Paris on walking tour of the
country. He stuck to his job, and has
recently been heard from in Georgia.
Since leaving Augusta he has travelled
10000 miles, and has eleven more states
to visit and 1000 miles to travel. His
trip is scheduled to end at Boston, Oct.
LIST next. He asserts that at the compile
ton of it he is to receive prize of 5000,
