Society leaders acknowledge
that competition for drawing

the great facts that stand out from

The death list has been increased

died after being rescued. The list
of prominent persons lost stands as
previously reported.
Practically every woman and child,
with the exception Of those women
who refused to leave their husbands,

While shut up at home on account of
feebleness most of the time, Mr.. Wes-
ton is by no means a recluse. He
dearly loves To have his neighbors and
friends call upon him. One bright spot
each day is the arrival of his Ken
nebec Journal Nearly always he may
be seen early after the arrival of the
mail to go to his box for his morning
paper.
He has justly earned the quiet rest
of these declining years, for all
through his long career ne has been a
man of honesty, thrift and hard work.
He was born in Durham. Maine, edu-
Gated at Litehfield Academy, followed
school teaching many years and has
lived upon his present farm in West
Gardiner more than 80 years. His only
son, John Weston, cares for him with
a devotion which provides every COM
fort.
Mr. Weston was greatly delighted
ON his recent birthday to receive a
postal card shower over 30 of his
friends sent birthday greetings on post
cards appropriately designed practi-
cally all of his boyhood companions
and the business associates OF his
prime have passed on, but among
these in their day were many of
prominence and distinction. Mr.. Wes-
ton is a cousin of Nelson Dingley.
Always true to the noblest ideals he
has added to these a Christian faith
which mellows, sweetens and adds a
charm to his old age. 1t was good
to see this man full of years, even
leaning on his cane, with feeble step
but clear mind and firm will go to the
polls TO east his vote TO redeem the
State from the corrupt use of money
and rum. He was a shining example
TO many a younger man who was be-
ing debauched by rum and the pernic-
ious use of money.
The passing of such men may not
leave US poor in virtue we trust, but
they viii certainly leave behind them
. memory deeply revered for the worth
and character which they have lived
out before men.
A great State and a great nation
needs a multitude of such men TO ub-
hold its ideals and guide its destiny.
No effort should be spared to guide
the footsteps of the youth into such
paths of life. This is the public safety,
also true progress.
