resided in Maine, but has not visited her
friends here since her marriage with Judge

vey and we hope that the interest may steadily
increase and that his influence in the gooe
work may be lasting. This has filled long
felt want in the neighborhood as the building
is now suitable for social gatherings as well as
having place for Sunday school or religious
services for the many who have found it diff
cult to attend more distant places. The chin
ney has been changed so that the hall may be
more economically heated during the winter
We hope that the community in general appre
ciates the work done, not only by making il
more attractive and convenient but by the in
terest manifested individually in repairing
building owned only by the townspeopIe. The
town recently had new wall laid and the ROO
shingled, which adds little to the exterior
