High school, graduating in 1895, and
after graduation worked as sales
man for the firm of Bartlett & Cairns,
so that he has many acquaintances
he re. After leaving Skowhegan he
clerked for time in Boston gro

The Skowhegan Ice Company COM
menced operations on it's field, in
limited way, on Monday of this week.
The ice is of excellent quality and
about fourteen inches thick where
they are now cutting but the center
of the river is open and there is but
small area where it is frozen to the
thickness mentioned. Last season
this company harvested all its ice in
the seven days proceeding Jan. II.
The present prospect Is that the
houses cannot be filed this year until
some time in February. There has
been NO years since 1883 when the
cutting of ice has been deferred to so
late date at this point on the Ken
nebec. In that year, while there was
plenty of snow, the weather remained
warm and no ice was harvested until
after February LIST.

of OBTAINING Mr.. Green at his place
of business, the store of the Steward
Hardware Il Plumbing Company, and
then bringing him home at the proper
hour, was attended to by George
Plummer. Mr.. Green was taken en-
tirely by surprise and very much en-
joyed the greetings and congratula-
tions which he found awaiting him.
At 1890 the company were hidden to

tastefully decorated for the occasion,
and there served with delightful re-
