from sojourn of ten days in Brook
line, Mass, whittier he was sum-

his brother-in-law, DR.. Nathan Tracy.
Rev. L. A. Edwards is expected to
assume his pastorate of the Congre-
gational church here on next Sunday,
June 4. Mr.. Edwards and family will
probably arrive here from Cleveland,
Ohio. on Friday.
New granolithic walks are being
laid from Lake street north past the
Bigelow pharmacy and the True and
Blanchard store, and the walk is being
made wider and in line with the side
walk farther up Main street.
Mrs. H. Sawyer, of Green Place,
who has for some time been mentally
unbalanced, was taken Thursday to
the asylum for the insane at Water
bury. D. N. Dwinell took Mrs. Saw
yer and her attendants there in his
automobile.
The thunder showers of the first of
the week afforded much relief from
the dryness and heat. The long
drouth has reduced the water supply
to such an extent that it is necessary
to shut the water off each night to al
low the reservoir to fill.
Frank Patterson, who has Just
passed through serious illness with
grip and complications, is out again.
"Pat" is fifty pounds lighter in
weight and his. voice is somewhat on
the "squeek" bat ne wea~s the smile
"that won't come off," an | will soon
be on duty again at the True and
Blanchard store.
Several prominent business men of
town including 2. M. Nansur, H. S.
Root and A. G. Sleeper went to Low
ell last week to look over some asbes-
tos properties there in wb ;ch they are
interested. They are displ aging some
fine samples of the product and there
seems to be no doubt as to the quanti-
ty as we'll as quality.
Two Victoria Day excursions ar
rived in town Wednesday. One party
came from STAINS tead bv special train
and took the Steamer Authemis for a
Lake trip. The Authemis brought a
large party from Magog in the morn
ing left them here and took on the
Stanstead people. The steamer re-
turned in the afternoon for the Magog
contingent. making rather busy day
for the boat.
Attorney Frank f. Miles suffered an
attack of Indigestion superinduced by
the extreme heat on Tuesday of last
week. Mr.. Miles was sitting under
the Courthouse porch when stricken,
and fell from his chair insensible. He
recovered in a short time, and after
being cared for by DR.. Blanchard was
able to go to his home. He has COM
pletely recovered from the indisposi-
tion, of which we hope there may be
no return.
Frank r. Sherman left Thursday
afternoon for San Diego, Cal, where,
it is rumored. he will be married to
Miss Hattie Morse, daughter of Nix
on Morse. formerly of Derby. He
expects to be gone about six weeks.
The rumor being a true one. Frank
certainly is the "Foxy Grandpa'' as
none of his friends had the slightest
inkling of his impending marriage.
Best wishes follow, however, and the
community will welcome the newly
weds" upon their return.
Mrs. Mamie M. Sawyer, wife of w.
H. Sawyer, who is reported in these
columns as having been taken Thurs
day to the asylum for the insane at
Waterbury, died there on Friday.
The remains were brought back to
her late home on Lookout street and
her funeral was held at the Methodist
church Sunday afternoon, Rev. C. D.
Lance officiating. This is case of pc
culiar sadness as the deceased leaves
husband in not too prosperous cir
cumstances and five children. the eld-
est being only thirteen years of age.
Mrs. Sawyer had been i'll for about
two years and insanity had followed a
nervous breakdown.
County game warden. II. D. Stan
nard of Orleans was in this vicinity
Tuesday, May 20, and arrested Frank
Powers Of West Derby. whom he sur
prised in the act of illegally taking
fish from Clyde River near the grist-
mill. discriminating evidence in shape
of spear and grapples was also Sc
cured and Powers was taken before
Municipal Judge Thompson at Barton.
He was admitted to bail for trial
later. It begins to look as if the fish
warden business in this section was
no longer farce, as Warden Stannard
has made several arrests and has Sc
cured conviction in each case. His
activities will be transferred to hunt
ing in the fall, and it is to be hoped
with as good success.
