Clifton p. Kent recently sold his
place known as Ecno Poultry farm to
DR. e. l.. Wyman of Manchester it be-
ing understood he was buying for
other parties who already owned con
siderable property here and who
wished to add this place to their es-
tate At the rear of the house is to be
heard one of the clearest echoes this
side of the famous one on Rupert
mountain Mr.. Kent is to remove all
buildings from the land and will

ue in the poultry business perhaps Civ

Dorset should remember its historic
past and at least next year suitably
celebrate its anniversary of the fam
GUS convention held here in July 1776
1t has good reason to be proud of the
fact that it was once the scene OF
such a notable event. One of the
most valuable forces in any commun.
ity is it's public spirit which makes
possible a celebration. Let us not
forget annals of history in the rush of
the present day. Dorset is expanding
rapidly and the future seems to pro
mise that it may become an important
railroad center and its prosperity
seems destined to continue. We hear
of the illustrious attachments of many
who were born mere who return after
years of absence with their world
given laurels They come back to the
hills to live over the old days, to meet
friends of days gone by and to talk
over the old life. But it is we'll to re
member that what counts most is not
the solitary widely separated celeb
rites (although they are fitted by
their training to play leading part)
but the manhood, the honesty, the fl
deity to high ideals that remains in
the rank and file and which is within
the reach of those who do not attain
to pinnacles of fame, but who remain
steadfast at home.
