New York city about October 26. He
viii also spend two or three days IN

decision to close the campaign in New

Of Western States, is that he recog-

cElEsRArEs Goth BIRTHDAY.
Mrs. Hannah K. Libby Greets Friends
.t At Swan Street Home.

Mrs. Hannah X. Libby, one of Au-
gusta's older and well-known ladies,
celebrated her Goth birthday Wednes-
day at her home on Swan street. The
day was passed in a quiet manner but
was made one Of pleasure by calls from
her many friends. among them being a
number of members of the w. c.. T. u,
with which organization she has long
been identified. Although not in the
best Of health Mrs. Libby still retains
an active interest in current events.
She is Also great reader and finds
much enjoyment in that way.
She was born in Gardiner, her maid
en- name being Hannah Knox Osgood,
and her girlhood days, were passed in
that city. She was a student of the
old Gardiner Lyceum and well remem-
bers the days that she passed in the
old building with her girlhOod friends.
She was first married to Charles M.
Plummer of Richmond and soon after
that event they moved to Kansas,
where he went partly for his health,
and where he engaged in the meat
business They lived in LeavenwOrth
for number of years. Mr.. Plummct
died in that city. Upon her return
East she kept house for while for
Enoch Libby whom she afterward
married and in that house she has ever
since resided She had but one child,
who died in infancy.
Mrs Libby is one of the oldest MEM
bers of the Methodist church, seldom
missing either a Sunday or a weekday
service. She has also been a generous
contributor to the church. Mrs. Libby
takes special pride in the fact that
she is member of the w. c. T. l.. Of
Augusta and almost constantly she
wears the white ribbon insignia OF the
organization. She joined when it was
organized in 1876. For some time she
occupied the position of vice president
and in that capacity presided at num-
Der of important gatherings. Mrs.
Libby was also one of the central fig
ures in great legis ative hearing in
the House of Representatives when the
superstructure of the prOhibitory law
was threatened, but through her ear
nest efforts allied with others, the law
came out OF the battle unsullied.
Mrs. Libby has seen many changes
in Gardiner and Augusta since she was
a girl and tells of many of the streets,
now crowded, that had scarcely any |
houses on them at that time.
