An Advertising Thought

A voice came over the wire yesterday
saying, Don't put it in the News and
Citizen. Everyone in this town knows
it now, but we don't want the whole
county to know it." This man recog-
nized fact that is a money-maker for
anyone who gets the idea thoroughly
distilled into his system. If you want
everybody in Lamoille County to know
about it, put it in the News and Citizen.

Az Unusual Gathering.

Mrs. G. /. Spear entertained Ut the
Methodist parsonage on Pine Street
Wedne .day afternoon a party 1T ladies
that was rather unusual. The invita-
lions were issued to the lady members
OF Deering Memorial Church who had
reached the age of three score years and
ten, there being fourteen on the church
roll Of that advanced age. OF this num-
Der ten were present and most delight
full afternoon was spent.
Although nearly all were residents OF
this village, because of their advanced
age they are unable to attend many of
the religious or social meetings In con-
nection with the church work and 1t had
been years since some of those present
had seen some of the others, many OF
whom were girlhood companions. That
the reunion and the chance to again be
together gave genuine pleasure to them
all could not be doubted after look at
the happy faces, now softened by the
traces Of years.
The invitations read from three to
five and after social hour the company
went to the dining room, where tea was
served. Decorations OF Autumn leaves
made the room and table things of beau
ty. The place cards were also autumn
leaves and bore the name and age of the
guest. The total ages of the ten present
was seven hundred and sixty eight
years, the oldest being eighty-two. Mrs.
Cyrene Bean, age eighty FIVE, who Is the
oldest lady on the church roll, was un.
able tc be present, much to the regret of
all.
1t was the opinion Of the hostess that
she never entertained party of ladies
tina. we're more deeply appreciative of
the courtesies shown them than were
these girls of three score years and ten.

TRAVERSE JURORS.
Three Riflemen From Co. B.

Rumford people are justly proud of
the fact that three members OF Co. B. of
that place secured places on the state
team that has gone to Jacksonville, Flor
ida, TO compete in the national shoot. In
the Rumford Falls Times we find the
following:
Local National Gusrdsmen are very
proud of the fact that out of the 10 mem
bers of the State of Maine rifle team
which left for Jacksonville, Fla, last
Tuesday to take part in the national
shoot, 8 of the team we're picked from
Co. B, 2nd Infantry of Rumford.
Lieutenant Spaulding Bisbee, Corporal
Wesley II. Woods and Corporal Ernest
o. Nichols are the three men picked
from this company.
When it Is taken into consideration
that this team was picked from twelve
companies of the End Infantry, II COM
panies of the Coast Artillery Corps, and
2 divisions of Naval Reserves, 20 COM
panies in all, it would seem that the
Guardsmen have very good reason for
feeling just little bit proud.
Company b has the honor of being the
only company in the State with men on
the team.
