ance by a surgeon. The injury while
painful is not considered dangerous
and Mr. and Mrs. Sherman hope soon
to be at home here.
While we are complaining about the i
excessive heat at present, perhaps 1t
would be we'll to remember that 1T is
not three months since the reverse
was the case, for we had hardly lost
our winters snow, and we liked that
no better. Well. it has been and is
hot but with our lake breezes we
probably felt the extreme heat as lit
tie as anywhere. Certainly those who
are fortunate enough to own motor
boat or cottage by the lake are not
complaining. We have to own up to
about LOG in the shade in some places,
but taken all in all, Newport prob
ably was cool and comfortable as
anywhere during the extremely warm
periods.
A party of Masons from Golden
Rule Lodge at Stanstead and Victoria
Lodge at Sherbrooke, accompanied by
brethren from other lodges. made the
ascent of Owls Head last week Fri
day, going to the mountain on the
steamer Lady of the Lake. A degree
was conferred on one candidate in the
natural lodgeroom on the summit. as
is the annual custom of Golden Rule
Lodge. Upon their return to the
Mountain House the party again en-
barked on the steamer for the sail to
Magog and return. The day was fair
and surprisingly cool, and all voted
that their novel experiences Fon the
l"high hill" were we'll worth the exer-
ton necessary to arrive there.
Mrs. Maria Lougee died Thursday.
June 70, at her home in Royalton::
Mrs. Lougee. who was the mother of
Mrs. c. S. Emery, was we'll known to
many in this village, having spent
some time here with her daughter IN
recent months. Her last illness was
from heart disease and of about one
week Duration, during which time,
Mrs Emery was with her. The
funeral services were held Satur-
day, July l, at her late home and
the interment was at North Tun-
bridge. She was 70 years OF age.
Mrs. Lougee was a person whom 1t
was pleasure to know and in the
loss of her mother, Mrs. Emery has
the deepest sympathy Of many friends.
The miniature cyclone of last Thurs.
day did considerable damage to shade
trees about town. Though of short
duration the lake was whipped into
foam, but fortunately all water craft,
with one exception, had taken refuge
in time. A canoe in which Walter
Bedding and Efingham Bartlett Were
enjoying a sail was capasiZed and the
boys were in the water for about Il
minutes or until rescued by men In
motor boats. Both boys had theil
nerve right with them and woulc
probably have drifted ashore if I'M
hampered by cramps. The high wine
: together with a dash of rain did much
toward cooling the atmosphere anc
: for time made this locality more
liveable.
