The stone work on the culvert on

Monday night. This part of the work
was in charge of Geo. r. Quint. The
crew of workmen commenced Tues
day to rebuild culvert at the brook
near the town farm. Mr.. Quint also
has charge of the work there.
The dull weather continues and but
little haying is done in this section.
Many acreas of grass was moved and
exposed to the rain of Thursday and
Friday. Haying is late and the most
of the grass is getting very ripe. But
it is not the part of good judgement
to cut it down unless there is a
prospect of getting it into the barn
without getting it wet.
A crew of men have been at work
on the culvert on kennebec avenue
during the past week. Selectman
Moore has put in good substantial
piece of work at this place and one
that was needed. 1t is large enough
to give ample room for the flowage of
the water and in case of another
heavy shower the disastrous conse-
quences will be avoided.

one that is of interest to all. Let the
attendance be large on this occasion.
Charles Dreamer of Embden was
badly hurt, Monday evening, by be-
ing thrown from his carriage, his
horse being frightened by motor
cycle. The village street is a poor
place to ride for pleasure with these
machines. 1t is bad enough to meet
them on the broad highway out of the
village limits where one is better pre-
pared for such an emergency. The
accident happened near the village
square, and Mr.. Dreamer was un-
conscious for quite awhile before a
doctor arrived. Fortunately no
bones were broken.
Miss Elizabeth Bodfish of Palmer,
Mass, granddaughter of Mrs. H. E.
Ware of this village, was rendered
unconscious Friday afternoon as the
result of a bolt of lightning. Miss
Bodfish, with four other young ladies
and her mother went to the Rock
House and while there shower came
up and they took shelter in cove. A
bolt of lightning struck the rock
which stunned Miss Bodfish so that
she did not recover consciousness for
over half an hour. 1t was a narrow
escape but fortunately she does not
feel any i'll effects from the shock.
Miss Flora Danforth, of Gardiner,
and her aunt, Mrs. Morse, were visit
ing in town last week. Miss Danforth
graduated from our grammar school
and then from the Madison High
School. She has almost completed
ner course in the Pennington Normal
School. She has recently been elect
ed principal of a grammer school in
Farmingdale, located about one mile
from her home in Gardiner. She has
been connected with this school as
assistant. Her life shows what
young girl may do for herself, even
under adverse circumstances, if she
has perseverance, and character and
holds herself proud in her woman
hood.
There is great scarcity of help in
this section. Farmers are short
handed and the mills are calling for
more men. Wages are very high, so
much so that the farmers cannot
afford to pay the price for help for
the short days in the hay field.
