izations in the war, and that the town OF
Woodstock furnished considerably over a
hundred men in the course of the war-a
remarkable record for town Of it's size.
A striking feature of the exercises
was the way in which they demonstrated
the important part that had been taken
in the history of the town by Hon. Sid
ney Perham, former governor of Maine,
and native of Woodstock. As scholar,
as teacher, in church work, in temper
ance reform, in political life, he was ever
q leader, and tribute was paid on all sides
to him as the most distinguished son of
the town.

Work has again been started on q

The interesting announcement Is made
In Portland that a regular aeroplane ser.
vice to the islands will be established
within three weeks. As the charge for
carrying a passenger is twenty-five dol
lars, it will probably not interfere with
the steamer business seriously at pres
emit.
Evidently the glamour has all gone
out of the teaching service In the Phil
ippines, which was once the goal of the
ambition of ell young people, both men
and women, who aspired to do work as
teachers where 1t would count. A Civil
Service examination for this branch Of
the government was supposed to be held
Wednesday in Portland, and the result
was the same as has been the case so
often heretofore-so small as to be al.
most nothing.
The aquarium authorized by the 77th
Legislature for the State museum in the
capitol at Augusta Is to be built soon. 1t
was feared for several weeks succeeding
the date upon which the law providing
for the aquarium became effective that
the governor and council would not ap-
prove the expenditure of money, and as
the money for the department OF inland
fisheries and game Is expended under the
direction OF the governor and council the
aquarium would not have been built
without their consent. The commission.
ers have been instructed to 60 ahead
with the work, however, and within a
short time beautiful exhibit OF live
sport fish will be seen In the State mu-
scum.

"The locust shrilly pipes Its song OF heat;
The feecy clouds float onward In the skies;
The shining river seems ablaze;
The bees drone In lazy monotone;
Der all, the heated breath Of Summer lies.
And casts around Its shimmering haze.
And every season has Its recompense;
THE garnered grain and scents Of new mown ha!
Proclaim the floodtide of the year.
A blissful sense of rest comes DER the land.

Rejoice, as labors fruits appear"

Fitting Celebration OF Centennial
Continued from page 81

(Continued from page 81
churches built until over half a century
after the first settlement, but there was
plenty of religion, and the old Fathers
and mothers were certainly devout
people. Religious meetings were among
the first gatherings of the old township,
and within the circle were men who early
became preachers and exborters, whose
labors were practically without compen.
sation. Today We doubt not the zeal
and we respect the memory OF those
early preachers, men like Jacob Whit
man, David Kicker, Zjba Andrews, Ran
som Durham, Luther and Charles Per-
kins.
The advent of the railroad was great
benefit to the town people, bringing with
il many radical changes in the customs
of the people. No longer was it neces-
sary to make the long trip to Portland by
horse or OK team in order to dispose OF
their produce and supply their wants.
The market was brought nearer to them
and many articles such as wood and
lumber, not very salable before this they
were now able to get good price Tor,
The building of the spool mill in lSsU
was a material aid in building up the
village, and this today is the leading In
dustry of Woodstock, and permanent
assistance in its present prosperity. Ihus
as the people became more prosperous,
they were better able to turn their atten'
tion from the Immediate necessities OF
life to some of it's luxurieS. The log
cabins and rude dwellings of the earliest
settlers were replaced by good substan-
tial homes which would be an honor to
any town.
The schools first held in the homes oil
some of the earliest settlers were now
held in well CONSTRUCTED schoolhouses,
good school teachers supplied and Wood
stock scholars have been among the hrs'
in the land. So at the outbreak of the
war, in 1861, it would seem that Wood
stock was in a prosperous condition, and
when the call came for men to go TO the
front, she responded bravely.
From 1928 Woodstock has furnished
her share of the Representatives to the
State Legislature, the list follows
Stephen Chase, Samuel Stephens, Rich
ard +. Lurvey, George w. Cushman, Ed

ham (who was speaker of the House),
Albert II. Estes, Adoniram Curtis, Her
rick C. Davis, Orlando G. Houghton,
BENZ. Davis, James L. Bowker, Samuel
l.. Russ, George l.. Cushman and George
w. @ Perham. While Woodstock's sons
may not have filled the most eminent
position in our country, still there are
many of whom she may DO justly proud
Would 1t not be deemed sufficient fol
one century to have produced such meu
as Sidney Perham, Fitzroy Chase and
Charles o. Whitman, and time forbids

On Saturday. the 14,b, the town voted
to accept the location of . new road
easterly of the Red Mill hill that was
quilted July S;h for some 80 rods from
2 to s feet deep and from 3 to 20 feet
wide. On Monday Messrs. Chas. j. Small
and Frank X. Msrr;field, first and third
selectmen, began on the new road with a
force of eighteen men. They estimate
the cost Of the new road, and the cost of
repairing the washouts in the road above

$1,000. All Of which might have been
avoided by proper attention to bitches

them as much as l25 years old, and many

One feature of the celebration worthy
of note is that no "fakirs" were allowed

the business, was in the hands Of local
dealers, and in that respect it was kept
strictly "home" affair.
