UNCLE LEWIS HIGGINS.
Sketch of One of the old-Time Stage
nr;vers of Windham County.

Tn the duietude of his home on oah
street lives Lewis S. Higgins, one OF the
last of the old-time stage drivers Oh
Windham county, whose name IN years
gone by was household word not only
in this county, but in Cheshire county
in New Hampshire and Franklin coun'
Nv in Massachusetts. To the younger
Generation he is best known as - un'
Gle Lewis Higgins, the liveryman'
but four years have passed since he re-
tired from the livery business, says the
local correspondent of the Springheiid
Renublican. He passed his SD birth
day anniversary about seven weeks ago;
On the last day of next month he VIII
have lived in Brattleboro just 6o years
He came in the old stage days, before
the advent of railroading IN TINS sec.
tion of the state, when a number OF
stages put up at the old taverns and
when the bars were wide open. Brat
tleboro was lively town even at ina,
date, but the business buildings ana
the streets bore little resemblance TO
those of the present day. Prospect NH
was then wooded tract and the sec
tion around Oak and High streets was
a moving. e
Mr.. Higgins was born in Newfane
December 10, 1924, and was one OF hve
children of Edison and Mary (Bruce)
Higgins. He and his brother, Ira Hlg'
gins of Canal street, are the only sur
Vivors of the family. When he was
about six years old the family moved
TO Brookline, and after four or five
years they went to Townshend to liVe
Mr. Higgins attended the first seiec'
school opened in that town and after,
ward attended Leland classical and
English school, now Leland and Gray
seminary, which was established while
he lived there. While in Townshend
Mr. Higgins had his first experience
as stage driver, making trips to strat
ton and to Brattleboro, although mol
regularly. From Townshend the fam
ily moved to Newfane, and for several
wears the father of the family was
proprietor of the Fayetteville hotel
now the Newfane inn. During large
part of his residence in Newfane Mr.
Higgins drove the Bellows Falls ano
Wilmington stage, which was Con
cord "through brace" coach, driving
from Bellows Falls to Wilmington one
day and back the next, covering about
40 miles a day. The family moved tt
Brookline a second time, and from
there Mr. Higgins came to Brattleboro
his parents remaining in Brookline
After that he drove stage occasionally
covering the routes to Keene, N. d.
and to Greenfield, Mass. Many times
the stages, seven of them, would come
in from their routes with loads of pas
sengers for the old water-cure estab
lishment, which in those days was ia
nous resort.
Mr.. Higgins took up carpentering II
Brattleboro few years, and for Il
years was employed in the Stearns rule
factory, from which sprung the Stan
ley rule and level company of New
Britain, CT. Then he went to carpen
tering again and bought horse to car

Auto Offerings for 1907.

Local automobiles have already be-
oun TO count the weeks before the
frost giant loosens his grip sufficiently
to allow them to go spinning over the
country. Next spring will see several
new autos added to those already owned
in town. Mrs. Ada Dowley has order
ed new 60 horsepower Thomas flyer
and Col. J. Gray Estey has ordered a
large Pierce touring car. Several other
machines have been sold to parties out
of town by the local agent, John b:
Manley. A carload of the little Ford
runabouts has been sold in Springfield
and another in Rutland. Ex-Governor
E. C. Smith of st. Adams has placed
his order for 40 horsepower Thomas
touring car.
The automobiles which Mr.. Manley
offers this year are the same in the
main as those in the past although new
and attractive models in the standard
makes are placed upon the market this
wear. The Rambler has made many new
departures in its machine. The 1907
car has a longer wheel base, more pow
err. a better looking body and rides
much easier. The company is also put
ting out this year an attractive run
about. The price for the Rambler tour
ing car will be 1880. The Fords will
be practically the same this year as
last. This company will put out a
six cylinder, As horsepower touring car
and the four cylinder, is horsepower
runabout. The former will sell for $4,000
and the latter for 5000. Mr.. Manley
has the agency also for the Stoddard-

ADJUSTMENTS
CLEVER PLAYERS.
Members of Binnard Stock Company
Please Audience.

Last night witnessed another large
and well pleased house at the Orpheum
theater to greet the Binnard stock
company in Peaceful Valley"
The company is making good III this
play and sustaining the reputation
made during the first of the week.
The theme is good one and is
we'll worked out. This afternoon the
company played to a large matinee
house and tonight will repeat the play
for the last time.
Dave Williams as the grasping land
lord, has made a hit in this play, he
takes the character perfectly and does
not overdo it a bit. Montgomery is
good. of course. So is Miss Martelle, so
is every member of the company. The
audience does not see as much of Ed
ma Murilla in the play as they would
like but this is compensated by the
clever speciality between acts.
Beginning tomorrow night and last
ing four nights. the famous comedy
drama La Belle Marie" will be put on
This is one of the best comedy dramas
ever staged and should not fail to
please. The cast is wen fitted for this
production and the play will be a GER
tain proof of the excellence of the
company, which has made good in
the lighter plays used so far.

sparkling four-act comedy drama,
which is admirably adapted to the
style ard methods of this fascinating
little actress, and in which she is fast

new as it has positively never been
seen On any stage until presented by
this company. The Little Prospector''
was secured by Manager Frank G.
King, for chic" Perkins on heavy
royalty from the American Amusement

run its limit as far as being interest
