merchant who has been in business
the longest, period of twenty-six
years.

What Was Happening 80
Years Ago

All the village schools. with the
exception of the High School, closed
last Friday after a very successful
term.
We acknowledge with thanks, the
receipt from w. P. Stevens of
copies of the FLORIDA Journal" the
only daily Republican paper printed
in Florida.
W. H. Bishop and Don c. Foss,
Past Grands of Essex Lodge, No. l3,
l. 0. o. F., started last Tuesday
morning for Montpelier, to attend
the session of the Grand Lodge.
S. D. Hobson was in Montreal
last week and brought out six more
nice horses that cost. duties and ex-
senses paid, over $1,000. This makes
48 horses that he bought in Mont
real this season.
The snowstorms of the past few
days have demoralized the railway
trains as we'll as the highways. In
the fight between mans ingenuity
and the elements, the elements in
variably get the best of it when they
settle down to work
Notwithstanding the severe cold
last Tueseay evening quite a large
company attended the social held at
the Rev. Mr.. Westover's where all
thoroughly enjoyed themselves In
the various amusements provided
by their genial host and hostess.
1t is reported that during the con-
test at the skating>rink last week a
certain young man escorted two la
dies there. One of them handed him a
dollar bill to pay for herself and
companion, and the gallant youth
paid for three out of the bill and
handed the lady the change.
A country editor "who has been
there himself" thus describes his
class: the country editor is man
who reads the newspapers, writes
on most any subject, sticks type,
folds papers, makes up the mails,
runs errands, saws wood, works in
the garden, is blamed for thousands
| Of things he never thought OF, works
hard all day, helps poor people into
office who forget all about it after
ward, and very frequently gets
cheated out of half his earnings. He
puffs and does more to build up the
town than anyone else, and the misel
and the fogy are benefited, and YET
they will not take his paper, but will
borrow it, read it and cuss the ole
fool of an editor"

Celebrated 88th Birthday

Mrs. S. Elmira Fletcher celebrated
her eighty-eighth birthday Friday
afternoon, January 20, at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. E. M. Bartlett.
Eight elderly ladies were invited
to partake of an old fashioned sup
per with her and each brought an
heirloom to exhibit and tell its
history. The collection proved very
interesting for there was the Pilgrim
pitcher and gold beads that had been
handed down for many generations,
silver buttons and medicine chest of
revolutionary times, bayonet from
the War of 1872, coins, some of them
dating back to 172l, a paper in mourn
ing publishing the death of George
Washington, dated 1900, china $50
years old, that had crossed the ocean,
and there was to be seen the flax
wheel, the samplers, the homespun,
books and letters all dating back a
century or more.
The guests ate from old blue china
Of our grandmothers' day and the
table linen was of homespun.
The evening was spent in reading
letters and postals of congratulation
to Mrs. Fletcher. Robert Burdette's s
"Artless Prattle of Childhood" was
recited and old time songs were
sung. The stories that were read
and the toasts that were responded
to on this occasion will long be re.
membered.
This was a merry birthday party
The little company of eight have
been permitted to live long lives o1
usefulness. They are rich in thei,
earthly possessions of children
friends and home and are looking
| forward with sweet content to the
Great Beyond.

Letter from a Former Is
land Pond Boy
Billerica, Mass, Jan. 27, 1915.

.
Editor Of the HERALD:
There are so many railroad men
in Island Pond that | am sure let
ter in regard to the railroad
Y. M. c. A., connected with the
Boston & Maine R. R. in Boston will
be interesting.
The rooms are in a building just
behind the old stone Fitchburg R.R.
station, convenient to the North
Station, the yards and the engine
houses, also to the general offices
and the local freight office in which
there are some $50 men.
Generally speaking, there is din
ing room, ,dormitories, Office, reading
room, barber shc p, baths, toilet, bowl
ing alleys and the establishment is in
charge of Mr.. A. P. Gillette, Supt.,
and a corps of assistants. In the
front office room are pool tables, and
usually they are in use. There is also
a piano in this room and many i'm
promptu concerts are given, there
being usually a player and many
singers somewhere about the build
ing; they sing sacred music, ,ragtime,
patriotic; any old time goes. Every
Wednesday noon during the cold
season half-hour entertainments are
given; speakers on history, travel,
war, appear frequently with many
pictures illustrating their stories of
strange lands and people. In short,
the atmosphere of the entire place
is wholesome and is greatly ap-
preciated. A branch of the Boston
Public Library is established here
and there is reading room, where
on file can be found all the standard
magazines and Boston papers.
The charge for use of pool tables,
bowling alleys and billiard tables is
nominal, so that alone is enough to
keep the young men off the streets.
The line is drawn on ciga rettes, but
smoking of pipes and cigars is not
forbidden, although of course, not
encouraged.
The restaurant is not under the
management of the Association, but
has their endorsement and aid.
Food is served in very cleanly
manner on the European plan, from
bowl of soup for ten cents to a
regular dinner at thirty cents. At
the noon hour, you will find in the
dining room train men from all over
the System, and after they eat many
of them remain for smoke, a game
of pool, or to read. The office is in
touch with all the Departments and
sees to calling men who are wanted
for service on receipt of telephone
call.
There is great deal of good &C.
complished by the railroad Y.M.C.A.,
and it seems to be appreciated by
the men, regardless of religious OF
o.her connections. Nothing sectariar
is .ever brought to the front, yet
there are many little suggestions
pointing toward a proper conception
of the Fatherhood of God and the
Brotherhood of Man.

COTTON THREAD.
Its Invention Was Case of Necessity
Caused by War.

Caused by War.
Curiously enough. it was a war that
brought about the revolution in the
manufacture of sewing thread When
Napoleon occupied north Germany in
1903 the supply of silk from Hamburg.
which was used In making heddles, or
the loom harness. In Paisley. was cut
off,
Unless some substitute could be
found the weaving industry Of Paisley
would be ruined. Peter Clark expert
mented with cotton warp yarn and
succeeded In making thread like the
six cord sewing thread used today. 1t
took the place of silk in the heddles,
and the weaving business went on I'M
interrupted by the war.
Then it occurred TO another man TO
use the cotton thread in place Of linen
for sewing. and he recommended it TO
the women of the town. 1t was so
much smoother than the linen that the
women liked it. The thread was sold
in hanks and wound by the purchaser
into little balls. but the merchant soon
decided TO wind the hank on a bobbin
or spool for his customers as an added
inducement to purchase it instead OF
the linen.
From this beginning the cotton
thread trade has grown. and now silk
and linen are used only for special
