One sunny October day sixty years
ago as q few of 'us boys" we're gather
ing nuts under wide-spreading beech
that threw it's shade across the "Gershom
Road" so called, or the packard Lane u
this aged couple-young and newly mar.
ried passed by on their way to the
home where they have lived so long and
happily content. To them were born a
son and daughter. The son left them
long ago for a better country. The
years went on and the daughter grew to
womanhood, aud in the process Of time
she "roped in" one of the young putters,
who had been set apart for the "roping''
from the foundation of the world-per-
haps. And the years went on. And
behold! another generation appeared
upon the scene-three sons and daugh-
ter.
And the years went on. And the
process is repeated and will continue to
be repeated down to the end OF time.
Generations come and generations 60,
and thus we 90 on forever, here and
hereafter. Not all are left to look upon
the fourth and the fifth generation Of
their own blood as these have done.
Fifty five years ago it was our lot to be
installed as pedagogue in the "Lothrop
school," and instead of boarding
round" we had permanent boarding
place at "Aunt Martba's," and perfect
ly satisfactory boarding. place in every
way. We often recall it, and count 1t as
q sunny spot in life's long journey.
Well, say! Couldn't Aunt Martha handle
the dough In such an artistic way that
the finished product gave the inner indi-
vidual eminent satisfaction? That's
what we said. And that's what we say.
The elaborate spread on this sixtieth
anniversary was sufficient evidence that
some of the descendants of Aunt Martha
inherited her gifts and pr"fited by her
along the line OF good
''vittles."
Eighty-three years and eighty are the
ages in the first generation, and just
few months in the fifth-the beginning
and the ending, the starting and the
and which is the better? That
depends, perhaps.
And the years 60 on. JOHN.

EXAMINATION BY EXPERT ACCOUNTANT
SHOWS ITS ACCOUNTS AND SECURITIES
TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

On the Goth of September. 1910. Mr..
William B. Shelton, the State Bank
Commissioner, requested the Board Of
Trustees of the South Paris Savings
Bank, which was q similar request to
that given to all savings banks In the
state, to cause . trial balance Of all In.
dividual deposits, az shown by the In
dividual depositors' ledger of the bank,
to be made during the month of Septem.
Der, and the said trial balance was to be
compared with the total, as shown by
the treasurer's general ledger for the
same date, and to report the result there.
of to the State Bank Department on or
before the 10th of October. The request
to the trustees was that this examination
should be made without previous notice
to the treasurer, and to be made by some
person either member of the board of
trustees or some one outside not employ
ed in the bank.
In accordance with this request, the
trustees of the Savings Bank employed
Mr.. M. r. Cooling of Portland, an expert
accountant, especially of bank accounts,
to make said examination, which he
did, and reported that trial balance of
all the individual deposits of the bank
at close of business Oct. 10, 1910, had
been taken by him. and everything in
connection Herewith was shown to be
accurate. The depositors' ledger cards
on that date showed the deposits to be
1871, 890.71, which amount corresponds
with the treasurer's general ledger for
the same date.
In addition to this request of the
bank commissioners, Mr.. Cooling went
through complete examination Of the
bank, including the securities OF all
kinds, and reported everything to be in
first class shape.
This bank during the past ten years
has gained in its deposits over one hun
dred and twenty-seven thousand dollars,
an average of over twelve thousand
dollars per year, which shows q steady,
healthy and conservative gain. It has
in the same time distributed over hun
dred thousand dollars In dividends to it's
depositors and has now q surplus and
undivided profits exceeding twenty
eight thousand dollars and its securities
are all good.

requested, or comparison
of the trial balance with the general
ledger IL the same that the trustees OF
this bank have made twice q year during

DIR. Berry's Temperance Address.

Rev. w. F. Berry, d. D., OF Waterville,
one of the field workers OF the Maine
Civic League, addressed temperance
meeting which was a union meeting of
the four churches, at the Congregational
church Sunday evening. The attend
ance was large. There was singing by
the church choir and by the congrega-
ton, and opening services conducted by
the pastors of the several churches, all
of whom participated and sat on the
platform.
DR.. Berry spoke very earnestly and
pleasingly, and with entire fairness and
candor, for little more than an hour.
1t was logical and well-considered argu-
ment, most of his time being devoted to
the question of mans personal attitude
toward the drink habit. Not only from
the general knowledge of men. but from
the careful experiments of scientific in
vestigators, he showed not only that the
excessive use of alcohol Is Ia damage to
the individual and the community, but
that the moderate use of it az we'll re-
duces the efficiency of the individual.
Because of his community relations, no
man has a right to reduce his efficiency
by the use of alcohol, said DR.. Berry.
The only right course is total abstinence.
Passing to the legal phase of the
matter, on which be spent a relatively
small amount of time, DR.. Berry argued
strongly that If, as he had stated, the
drinking Of liquor is an injury to the ill.,
dividual and the state, then the state has
no right to license the sale of liquor.
1t is altogether probable, said be, that
the prohibitory amendment to the con-
s,itution will be resubmitted to the
people next September, and a majority
of one, either for or against, will be
sufficient to decide whether the pro-
hibitory amendment shall remain as q
part of the constitution. The distillers,
the brewers, the great liquor interests,
are ready to pour money into the state
without stint to break down prohibition.
There is one of the greatest fights ahead
of US that the moral forces of the state
have ever seen, and we must be awake
and active, and work without ceasing.
