Il YEARS OF PROGRESS
New Sharon as Seen in 1868 and
at the Present Time.

New Sharon Star: Our veteran
friend, r. E. Meeker, who lives in
what is known as the Sherman neigh
| borhood, northeast of New Sharon
has kindly written for us the fol.
lowing contrast of his first view OF
this city in 1869 and it's present ap.
pearance:
"FortyTone years ago. last Octo.
Der l first saw the little village of
New Sharon. which consisted of
about fourteen houses as residences,
the general store of Vickers Bros,
and the grocery store of Chas.
Kitchener. whic' stood where the Cit
liens Bank now stands. The store
of Vickefs Bros. was where the Con
away building now stands. There
was little post Office building about
where C. p. Roe's Rexall drug store
Gated east of the Baker hotel, owned
by Henry Fortney and Wiley Lloyd.
The post office, | think, was in
charge of DR.. Morris and wife.
There were three mails week re-
ceived from Oskaloosa. There was
little hotel just south of Cores
meat market, kept by Ansalom Cobb
and wife. There was but one
church building in the village; it
belonged to the Quaker Friends and
stood near where their present mod
ern church stands. The Methodists
had an organization and worshiped
in the old school house where the
present high school building now
stands. A few years later the Bap.
fist denomination had an organiZa.
ton, but it soon petered out Per
haps the next religious society or
ganized was the Presbyterian and
the next the Disciples, all of which
have buildings.
There are but few buildings now
which were there in 1869,
persons still living in New Sharon
who were there then, namely, VIM.
and Frank Winder.
AT the time to which | have
been referring, the best wild prairie
land could have been bought for
$40 per acre. The Graham Andre
100 acres was offered at 81 an
acre. also the Jas. Wood quarter
section just east of that at the
same price. ANY man with a few
thousand dollars to invest in land,
could now b immensely wealthy,
but dollars were scarce then. In
1870 and 1871 the railroad was built,
which helped develop the town until
now New Sharon is fourishing

Fulton County Anti-Pine Beetle
Association Is Formed at

To encourage the suppression OF the

Mr.. Mason said in part:
IF you do not wish TO put your timber
in danger. do not cut any living or dead
trees during the summer in a beetle-in-

neigh oorhood cuts their dying timber at
the same time. and only then under spe-
cific advice.

as a rule. does not provide good
meat, as small towns generally
do not get the best beeves.
The club should consist of enough
members so that each can con-
venientIy consume share per
week; large families or boarding
house keepers can take two or
more shares. Frequently dozen
members is the number chosen
and sometimes as many as 20 make
up q club.
A club should appoint necessary
officers and adopt rules Oh govern
ment. There should certainly be
president and secretary and treas
urer. The latter two offices may
be combined in the same person.
A butcher should be appointed and
he can do the actual work OF
butchering or hire someone at a
price fixed by the club. All beeves
had better be killed in some one
convenient place.
A chart should be made of a
dressed animal and 1t should be so
divided that each member will get
some of each part during the sea-
son. And at each time every mem
Der should receive two or three
cuts, providing for a boiling piece

The hide may be given to the own

beef furnished is OF about the

by cuts and charge each for
