Very little haying was done last week
between the showers, but Monday morn
ing the sky was clear and looked like
good settled weather. The air was cool
with quite a breeze, and soon the click
of the moving machine was again heard
in the field. But this fair prospect was
OF short duration; in the afternoon it
clouded up again and so continued with
slight showers until Thursday, and no
hay weather up to date.
Last week Scott Merrill and Walter
Morgan came up from Norway on q visit,
aud in the meantime went to Indian and
Twitchell Ponds to try their luck at fish.
ing; but they met with rather indifferent
success, since the fish for some reason
refused to be caught. These men re-
ported the hay crop light down there and
the apple crop still lighter.
Last spring about the time Lamont
Brooks obtained his majority his father
bought him four-year-0ld colt, includ-
ing a complete outfit, and now he has
him we'll broken or educated as some
prefer TO call il, and the other morning
he drove US down two or three miles to
see the new iron bridge recently built.
1t is a we'll made structure and looks
good for any load that passes over it.
Quite number OF years ago a man
thought to drive over timber
bridge there in the night, during high
water, when a part Of 1t being washed
away, the man and horse were carried
down stream and both persisted.
Driving back home BY the way OF the
City, we called to see sick baby, and
three days later the news came it had
passed away. Ii was about two weeks
old.
On reaching home the colt appeared
as fresh and nimble as when starting for
the ride. And now q few words in re-
gard to the owner: When boys grow up
to manhood, and avoid all the evils with
which they are surrounded, they should
be rewarded accordingly, and some
times are, but not always. The subject
of this sketch Is believed to have always
observed the divine command, keep
myself pure" and no young man about
here stands higher in the estimation oil
the people than he, or to give bis full
name, than Lamont Ambrose Bernard
Brooks.
The remains OF James Cole of Port
land were brought here and buried In
the cemetery on Rowe Hill last Tuesday
He was one of the seven sons OF the late
Southern Cole, and with one exception
the family has probably become extinct
The youngest son left home more thar
forty years ago, and since nothing hai
been heard Of him he Is supposed to be
dead. There was one daughter who
married Chas. b. Brooks and died more
than ten years ago. James Cole wal
about IA years old.
