They used to tell story that once
upon q time two men met one stormy
day, and one remarked to the other that
they were having rather wet rain; yes,
was the answer, but really never heard
of any other kind, did you? o, yes; it
tells somewhere in an old book, that it
once rained fire and birthstone, thus de-
stroying a number of cities, together
with numerous people, the animals, and
in fact nearly every living thing That 1
think you will admit was a decidedly
dry rain. Good day.
The first kind mentioned was what we
had last Sunday, and so continuous it
proved to be that some who intended
to 60 visiting on that day deferred it
until later on.
If the backwardness of the season
needed any further proof, it might be
stated that on the first day of October
we had sweet corn, cucumbers, and black
berries all fresh from the field and
garden, nor are they all gone yet.
Potatoes are rotting badly, in some
places so much so that one man says he
shall not dig his since he would not get
sound ones enough to pay for the work.
Wesley and Herbert Ring are filling
their silos this week, using horse pow
err instead of gasoline engine for the
cutting purpose.
Several weeks ago Robert Morgan's
wife presented him with a second boy,
which fact the father seems to have for
gotten, at least for the moment. Two
weeks since Herbert Rings wife pre-
sented her husband with their second
girl, which event induced Mr.. Morgan to
try joke on his brother-in-law over
the telephone. Why in the dickens, said
he, didn't you have boy this-time,
since the other is a girl? For the same
reason, probably, came the quick reply,
that you didn't have girl since your
other one is boy.
The death of Almina Minard adds one
more to our vital record; nearly so years

Mrs. Parker occupied the Methodist pull
pit in Hartford for some time. assisted
by the deceased, both of whom were
interesting and gifted persons. They
lived together and it was seldom indeed,
no matter what the occasion might be,
that one was seen unaccompanied by the
other. The last time we saw and heard
Miss Minard was when she conducted
divine services at Newton c. Herrick's
funeral few years ago, and the sermon
she delivered was worthy of any doctor
of divinity. Who will honor that devoted
and good woman by writing her obituary
which she is so eminently entitled

Edwin n. Gleason.

Oxford County suffers a distinct loss
in the death of Edwin Fl. Gleason OF
Mexico, representative in the legislature
from Mexico, whose death occurred at
his home in that town Thursday evening.
Death was due to typhoid fever, from
which at one time Mr.. Gleason seemed
to be recovering, but relapse was after
ward suffered, resulting fatally.
Mr.. Gleason was SO years Of age, and
was a native of Mexico, but while young
went with his fathers family to the
West, where they lived in several differ.
emit places. He graduated from Yale
College about a dozen years ago, and
after a years work on a newspaper in
Boston, came to Rumford Falls, where
he began the study of law in the office OF
A. K. Stearus. After being admitted to
the bar he became member of the firm
of A. E. Stearns & Co. Later partner
ship was formed with L. w. Blanchard,
and the law firm of Gleason & Blanch
ard has since been engaged in practice
at Rumford Falls.
Not only was Mr.. Gleason a man of
character, ability and promise, but he
was very useful citizen, taking much
interest in all public affairs, and serving
the community in various public posi-
tions. He was q trustee of the Mexico
Congregational church, chairman of the
school committee for number of years,
and chairman of the committee in charge
of building the new high school house at
Mexico. He was elected representative
to the legislature in 1905, and in the SEES
sion Of that body last winter took a po-
sition Of more than the usual prominence
for representative in his first term.
The funeral was held on Sunday at the
Mexico Congregational church, attended
by the pastor, Rev. j. G.. Fisher, with
the assistance Of Rev. G. A. Martin of
the Rumford Falls Methodist church,
