The homestead of the late Nahum
Godfrey, Brunswick street, Old Town,
now owned by his son. Fred n. God
frey has always been a great field for
Indian relics. 1t is supposed to have
been an Indian burial ground centuries
ago. Last week Mr.. Godfrey dug out
a score Of arrow heads, whistles,
knives, hatchets, etc. 1t seems to be
rich in these kind of relics and is the
envy of Indian relic hunters. Mr.. Cod
frey has been offered many induce
ments to allow hunters to dig the
ground over. The relics are supposed
to be from 5000 to 5000 years old.

description of a meal served by the
students. taken from the Maine
Woods Tuesday afternoon the SEN
Tor girls prepared supper for the
Senior boys. In each plate there was
a quotation and before taking his or
her place at the table one was oblig-
ed to find the quotation that applied
to each one. If one was right he
would find his name on the back
side; if it happened that he guessed
wrong he was obliged to hunt until
he found his place. There were two
kinds of biscuit, raised bread, salad,
and ice cream served. Everything
was excellent and the only charge was
from over eating. After supper the
girls MIXED the COW while the boys
washed the dishes. The rest of the
evening was spent in games. The
time went very quickly and was much
enjoyed by all.
