Milo A, Meserve has installed the
electric light in his homet For
fine MANY who have left our bor-

1T was here where Col. Jacob Kent
spent his declining years, and it
was here where in 1886 he breath
ed his last. What would he say to-
day, If he should cross its thresh-
hold and reaching forth his hand
press a button? He might say,
tLet there be light, and there was
Light and if he should further
ask, what more can man do?"
Milo would be on the spot to an
swer, for we understand he is con-
templating making many modern
improvements in the old home,
cutting down and placing in large
windows, putting on broad pi-
azza which will command one of
the finest views on the Connect
cult River, Collaborating the barn
and on top of all spreading paint
in the old colonial colors. Yes, he
could tell the Colonel that with
small outlay he could make this
one of the most attractive estates
on the river, and in keeping with
the neighboring estates which
give NeWbury such an air of pros
perity. Yes, Col. Jacob Kent, the
old home will shine by August,
1912, when we welcome back New
bury's absent sons and daughters.
