of Paris men who left last week to go to
Florida, where he has spent several win
tiers for the benefit of his health. Others
who went at the same time were .. A,

The air and water at Paris Hill are SO
pure and invigorating that even Father
Time has difficulty in making progress
against them; hence it happens that the
guests at a very interesting party given
by Mrs. John Pierce last Tuesday were
able to relate experiences that occurred
back in the administrations of John
Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson
The guests of the occasion were Mrs
Virgil d. Paris, Mrs. Jarvis c. Marble,
Mrs. TboS. Fl. Brown, Mrs. Horace Cum
miugs and Mrs. Eunice Barton. The
ages of the guests ranged from seventy
seven to something considerably above
ninety. The total age of the five pres
emit was 420 years, and the average age
was eighty-four. This average would
have been raised somewhat had Mrs
John Garland, who was invited, been
able to be present. Among ot' er recol
lections, one member of the party re
called a visit to Lewiston and Auburn
when the former city contained only
three houses and the latter but one. We
think we have some smart old ladies al
Paris Hill and are prepared to prove it.
