And the Grandfather's Clock.

One of the choicest pieces Of the
furnishings. of the dining room of the
new Penney Memorial Church parson-
age is a Grandfather's clock, which has
a corner all by itself, standing as erect
as when it came into this world and as
accurate even in it's judgment of time as
then. 1t bears the name of "a. Hoadley
Plymouth" as maker and has been in
the family for n great many years. A
signed statement on the inside of the
door bears witness that it was pur-
chased about 1919 by Capt. George
Bedford. and in 1868 given to Rufus B.
Bedford, remaining in his possession
until his death, when the heirs decided
it should go to the first grandson
which resulted in its becoming the
property of Francis b. Mosher of this
city, being placed in the custody of the
lads father, Rev. c. c. Mosher, until
the former reaches his majority. The
paper is signed by the heirs as follows:
Nancie F. Bedford, Manning Z. Per-
kins. Helen W. Perkins.
The spelling Of Beckford and Bick-
ford arose from the fact that when
Capt. r. B. Beckford. a captain in the
Union army during the Rebellion, re-
ceived his commission. his name was
spelled "Bickford." hence for technical
and legal reasons he was obliged to
use that spelling and hence others have
done the same
The clock is of the old wooden works
variety, tall and straight, with the ia :
miliar red color and the old style dial
and looks and acts we'll able to con-
tinuc its work for another century.

The War Pictures.

This afternoon the first motion pic
lures of real fighting in the trenches
of Europe will be shown at the Opera
House. The management have the
endorsement of the Augusta Branch Of
the Maine League for National De-
Tense. for the pictures show, as moth
ing else can, the penalty of halfway
measures in preparing to repel an in
vader as highly organized and perfect
ly equipped as the German army. The
pictures were taken from point
within the German lines, by photog
rapher of the Chicago Tribune. AS is
to be expected, they show the German
hosts destroying their opponents. To
this extent the pictures favor the Ger
man cause, and please German sym
pathizers. But they have a wonderful
value to straight American citizens
without hyphens Of partisanship ex-
cept for the Stars and Stripes.
Edwin f. Weigle. the photographer.
spent eight days with the Germans
and Austrians in the French battle
lines. Then, from His EXcellency Field
Marshal Won Schleyer, he secured per-
mission to go to the Galacian battle
lines. En- route he stopped at Vienna,
where he saw train loads of wounded
coming in from the battlefelds. He
was at TarnoW when the TeutOns
broke through the Russian lines and
during the battle stood in the trenches
| which the Teuton troops had occupied
/, for three to five months. He &C
companied the Austrian army on their
wonderful advance of a hundred and
| twenty live miles from Tarnow to
| Prezemysl, which was covered n
| twelve days. and he accompanied the
victorious army when they marched
into the famous fortress of PreZemysl.
! All these incidents are wildly depicted
on the screen during the presentation
of these pictures. They show what
took place. what is now taking place,
and what will continue to take place
until this war is over.
If you have pro-German sympathies.
you want to see what Germany is do
ing.
| If your sympathies are. with the Al
| lies, these pictures show you the ter
rife war machines the Allies have to
| fight.
| There are no other pictures like
these in existence. The Chicago
Tribune stands back of every title and
every scene throughout the whole six
reels and guarantees their genuineness
and authenticity exactly as seen and
described.
| 1t is the wonder of the age that we
are able to see the European war as it
actually transpired only few weeks
ago on the backgrounds of France,
! Galacia. Poland and in the Tyrolean
Alps. The pictures carry with them a
well equipped lecturer.

on his line of work, it is said, in the
eastern part of the country No person
interested in horse breeding can afford
to miss this opportunity to hear what he
will have to say. George &. Smith. who
will talk on poultry raising, is a very
able speaker. Those who have heard him
think he can give the most practical talk
on any phase of the poultry business of
anyone in the country.
The three speakers from this State are
well and favorably known, and all who
can should be present to hear their in
structive talk on their special subjects.
All those who have attended the insti-
tutes already held are continually re-
marking about the interest that is taken
in winning the IS prize for the best
method of tillage for destroying witch
grass. The Only complaint is that the
period is entirely too short for those in
terested in the discussion.

The new parsonage of the Penney
Memorial church of Augusta is COM
pleted and the pastor, Rev. Charles G.
Mosher and his family have this week
moved in and are now enjoying this
handsome and modern domicile. There
is plenty to enjoy, for it is commodious
and well-arranged, finely lighted ana
heated and with splendid location,
room aplenty and the best arranged
kitchen we have yet seen.
The new parsonage will be known
as No. 35 Grove street. the main en-
trance being along the east side of the
church structure, although the parson-
age also has an entrance on the East
Crescent street side. It is two and
| one-half stories, Colonial style, stu
ated just south of the church on the
lot purchased when the church was
built, faces the north, has a free view
in all directions and the sun at some
time of the day in every room. The
large windows give an unusually
CHEEKY appearance.
Entering the hall, which is in the
center of the house, you turn to the
left into the reception room. a large
and pleasant room. One door opens
on to a deep piazza, which extends
across the entire east side of the
house. This will be screened in, max
ing a splendid summer outdoor living
or sleeping apartment. Another
door opens into the southeast corner,
in which the parson takes particular
pride and comfort-his library and
study. This space is divided into the
main library room, finely appointed.

State HOUSE
Useless to Drag Highways at
This Season of the Year
John c. Mccarthy of Hallowell
Gets Connolly's Berth
NEXT COUNCIL MEETING ON
DECEMBER

Harry A. Plummer, superintendent of
public buildings. has chosen John C.
Mccarthy OF Hallowell as foreman of
the State House employees. The posi-
tion yields comfortable salary of
$1,000 per annum and Mr.. Mccarthy is
to be next in charge under Superin-
tendent Plummer. The foreman's sta
ton was left vacant upon the dismissal
Of George Connolly Of Portland several
weeks ago. A large force of men is
employed in the State House and it is
quite essential that the foreman of
the employees be a man of pleasing
personality and capable of commanding
and retaining the respect and friend
ship of his fellows. Superintendent
Plummer, himself most affable gen.
tleman, has considered this appoint
ment for some time and the friends and
associates of the superintendent and of
the new foreman believe that the choice
is wise one

Withstand the hard traffic of the long
dry summer season have become more
or less rutted. The officials OF the de-
partment realize that these sections of
road can be readily brought back to
their normal condition by few drag
ging. in the spring.
Practically all of the patrolmen en-
ployed on the State highways were laid
off about two weeks ago when the first
solid freeze occurred Anticipating the
demand of the travelling public for a
better condition of these sections, the
highway department recently ordered
all patrolmen to drag their sections of
State highway and Immediately report
the results.
Reports received Thursday morning
from several patrolmen indicate that
the dragging is Of no benefit. Drag
ging at this season of the year when
the sun has no drying power only serves
further to accentuate the muddy COR
dition of the road surface. What is
