Thirteenth companys Annual Banquet
Tuesday of next week has been Sc
lected as the date for the annual ban
quet of the members OF the Thirteenth
company, Coast Artillery corps. This
has grown out of the giving last year
of a supper for the members of the
company by the non commissioned Of
ficers, this being so successful and
such a pleasant social event that it
has been decided to repeat it this year
on a more elaborate scale.
Retires from Active Work.
Calvin B. Long, typical village black
smith, has sold out his business on
Center street and is going to enjoy a
well earned rest after shoeing the
horses and doing the other "smithing"
work Of many persons in this and sur
rounding towns for a period Of nearly
40 years.
OF remarkable physical development,
though past three score and ten, Mr..
Long lays down his strenuous labors
while his eyes are still bright and
while his heart and rugged arms con-
tinue to carry that strength and power
that has enabled him to do so easily
the endless amount of heavy labor that
he has turned off in the past two score
years. Such robustness as is his is the
envy of many a man of half his years,
and, as one citizen puts it, 1T would
take mighty good man to handle Car
today"
Mr.. Long has been doing business at
his shop on Center street for about 81
years, having opened there after spend =
ing three years in the employ of the
Adams shop that stood for so many
years on the site in the rear of the
Hyde block. He is known far and wide
as a man who has met his obligations,
as a square man and as honest as a
government dollar.
His retirement from the ranks of the
active business men of the town marks
another vacancy among the diminish
ing few who knew Danielson when il
was young and have long been identified
with it's interests. Mr.. Long is to re-
main here, however. and the wish of
all who know him is that he will have
many years of pleasant and comfort
able retirement. His shop has been
sold to Walter Shippee.
