The Paris Hill Library Association
has done much this fall to improve its
grounds around Hamlin Memorial Hall
The stone curbing has been continued
around the entire lot. it formerly being
at north and east sides only. Then more
than twenty loads of earth have beer
filled in, the whole we'll graded and en-
riched and grass seed sown. This SEED
has made very vigorous start.
The entrance to the library has beer
vastly helped by having q walk of ce
ment and pebbles laid from the door tC
the curbing at the front of the building
This required blasting and chiseling Of
the solid ledge. All iron work abou,
the building has been reprinted and the
quaint figures, "lS22". cut in the ston,
over the door, are now brought to notice
by being painted black. Since thi'
change they are seen for the first time
by many Of our people.

years Of age, in 1922. Whatever fancie.
may have occupied the young girls mine
as she worked with her silks and chenille,
and counted the threads of her canvas
for the exacting cross stitch, it is safe tt
say that her imagination never pictured
the idea that her work would hang with
in the Jail. then building, when it SHOULD
be converted by her nephew into Ham
lin Memorial Hall, to be used as museum
and library.
