told this story: "A couple who were
nigh on 10 four score years of age
were welded in an upstate town re-
Gently, and the editor of the local
paper headed the event, "A Romantic
Affair." When he looked at the paper
after the edition had all been mailed,
he packed his grip and left for parts
unknown. The compositor had made
It to read A Rheumatic Affair ;"

Many of the older residents of
IF Dorset regret to see the old barn
being torn down that has been land
mark for half century on the
meadow now owned by Ernest West.
This barn, which is 81 feet long and 36
'eet wide, was built by Lyman Sykes,
'ather of Rollin Sykes, an esteemed
.itizen. who also assisted in the rails
ng and building of the barn, he then
/ youth of II years. The timbers,
which are unusually heavy, were hewn
nut of timbero on the westmountaun near
he farm lands of Albert Kinney, and
we're drawn or snaked by OK teams to
he valley. Several men in town help
ID in the erection of this building,
,mong them being W. J. Towsley who
low has the contract for tearing it
Town, and there are many who de-
,lore the present razing. 1t is an in
eresting fact that one of the stills
placed in the structure consisted of an
,ntire tree trunk and is 60 feet long.
