G. w. Emerson, with his family
horse "Ned," has just completed the
blowing of gardens for the present
season and finds that he has per-
formed this work for Al Skowhegan
families. This would seem to be a
fair share of this kind of labor for one
horse and one man but does not quite
equal the record of 1906, when, with
the same faithful animal, Mr.. Emer-
son plowed So gardens.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Spaulding,
who have resided in this place on
Mt. Pleasant avenue, for the past two

Lake Cobbosseecontee and overlooks
that beautiful sheet of water.

of Augusta, left here today, in Mrs.
Shepherds touring car, for Guilford,
where they are to be present this
evening at the commencement exer-
cises of the Guilford High School,
Their interest in the event comes
about from the fact that Robert G.
Houston, son of A. G. Houston,
formerly of this place, is member of
the graduating class and has one of
the speaking parts in the exercises.
