COL. TIMSON GOT A MEDAL.
Former Brattleboro Resident Pleased
Residents of South Cornish, N. H.

Col. j. C. Timson, real estate agent,
has been presented with silver medal,
handsome of design and appropriately en-
graved by the citizens of South Cornish,
says Caremont IN. H. dispatch of
March to the Boston American.
Colonel Timson did not get the. medal
for saving the life of any person of South
Cornish. Col. Timson got his medal for
selling farm. When Cornish heard of
t. so of her substantial citizens got to.
gether and had struck off the medal
which says: Compliments of the Cit.
Gems of South Cornish"
1t happened in this way:
There once lived in South Cornish a
man who was not at peace with himself
nor with his neighbors. As a general rule
people get along very well together in
that little hamlet and this one particular
citizen made them all angry.
They did not like this fault-fndinigg
resident little bit, but how to get rid
of him was a problem: At last they
heard that his farm had been placed in
the hands of Colonel Timson for sale.
This did not raise any particular enthu-
siasm because in hard times it is not easy
TO get rid of New Hampshire farm.
But Colonel Timson sold the farm and
sold it quickly South Cornish gasped
when it heard about the sale and then
proceeded to give three cheers for the
colonel and his business ability. Such an
act must be recognized, said South Cor
nish Hence the medal.
