The new proprietor of the CasweIl Gents
Furnishings store, Fred Lemoureaux,

Leslie Wilder, who recently underwent

Sunday. Mr.. Flanders is the junior part
Martin L. Hall & Co.
Col and Mrs. a. Stewart Haskell are at
The ChaIfonte at Atlantic City and write
that the weather is delightful and they are
well and enjoying the respite from the ex-
treme cold of the north.
The choir of Centenary Methodist church
will give their snnual recital Thursday
evening, March,. The choir will be assist
ed by Miss Stafford of Boston, soprano,
Miss Smith of the college and Mr.. Young.
This is one of the events of the year that is
worth while because of its quality and
purpose.
Mr.. and Mrs. William M. Pike and Mr..
and Mrs. Edwin Audinwood started
Thursday evening for tour through our
Caribbean dependencies. They go by water
from New York to Havana. Both of the
gentlemen ere very much in need of a
change of climate as they have both been
i'll for some time.
We are sgain confronting water famine
unless the weather man ''tempers the wind
to the shorn lamb" by giving us thawy
weather. The invocation of the Water
company TO the people is to be saving of
the water. The recent fires make people
uneasy as this inadequate water system is
their only protection. The new reserva
tion will be welcome, but is it sufficient?
]. B. Daily, who WE s recently retired from
the customs service, having been located
at Coaticook for II years, has been rein
stated by the department at Ottawa. THIS
is of interest to his many friends here, his
old home. This was brought about by
petition of the patrons of the Office, but
does not reflect any discredit upon his
temporary successor, Mr.. Bald win, who
will probably be located at some other
point.
Saturday evening, Feb. %, the Foster
block caught fire from defective chimney
and but for the efficient work of our fire
department Derby Line would undou bted-
~ have suffered the most disastrous fire in
its history. Again on Wednesday evening
the fire department were called out to put
out fire in the house where Charles Man
sur lives. 1t was caused by defective
chimney. Evidently the fire inspection of
the three villages is defective.
| Since the decease of Grandmother Car
penter, which occurred on Feb. II last,
| she being almost a century old, the rela-
| tives have ascertained that she has an aunt
/ living in Fayston. One very peculiar
thing about it il the fact that this aunt,
! who was the wife Of Mrs Carpenters
fathers youngest brother, is only 20 years
of age. 1t is a very unusual genealogical
fact. 1t is novel and of interest to those
who knew Grandmother Carpenter, as she
was called by hundreds in the northern
part of Orleans.
