The Old Order Changeth

With the passing of the old year

states rang out the wet and rang in
the dry. In Arkansas, Colorado,
Idaho, Oregon, Washington and South
Carolina the legalized liquor traffic
ceased to exist on January l. Vir-
ginfa's prohibitory law goes into et-
feet November l. 1t is now possible
to walk on dry" land from the At
lantic to the Pacific. The chain of
prohibition states extends from
Georgia in the southeast to the state
of Washington in the northwest. In
deed, one might start from Florida,
which is getting dryer every day. Wy

dler, next became the leading official
in the Office of the hostelry. He
and his employer have both been long
laid to rest, but the strains OF the old
time music from the violin of the
fiddler still float down with the mem
cries of happy days spent beneath the
roof of the old tavern by merry
makers of fifty years ago. William
Holbrook, the father of Mrs. e. C.
Dunton, was at one time connected
with the establishment, although new
er its landlord as some have suppos-
ed. This was during Tom Spring

known to many of the older people as
a store keeper near the site of the
present freight house, was another of
the former proprietors of the hotel.
but for only short time, while Fred
Dore, still resident of this town,
was also once connected with the es-
tablishment In about 1881 Robert
w. Haines, the capable landlord of
the Coburn of today, was the proprie
tor of the hosiery and after his re-
moval Henry and George Washburn
became the presiding genuises of the
hotel changing its name from the Elm
House to the Skowhegan House. The
latter of these two gentlemen Is still
in the harness, being the proprietor
of the Weston House at Madison. but
Henry has for some time been de-
ceased. Fourteen years ago they
were succeeded by futile Bros, the
present landlords. Since they have
been catering to the public, the old
building has been greatly changed on
both the interior and exterior; for
mer residents of our town who have
been absent twenty years would not
recognize it now. 1t is now three
story, with attractive towers on
the east and west which make ad-
ditional sunny rooms on the fourth
floor. There are in all about fifty
rooms In the establishment, the in
terror arrangements having been
greatly changed and improved. E. c.

said to be one hundred and twenty
five years old to say the least. Many
years ago a man by the name OF
Pease lived there and ii is related
that he sometimes put up travellers,
although the place was conducted
more on the boarding house plan
Previous to that the father of Simeon
Sawyer had lived in a house on that
location the same residence being at
terward occupied by Joseph Snow,
while the late George Snow was born
there Mr.. Pease whom we may call
the first landlord of the hostelry was
the proprietor of the stage route from
Augusta to Skowhegan. He was sue
ceeded by Samuel Lyford and here
was really the beginning of hotel life
on what is now Russell St, for Mr..
Lyford remodeled and enlarged the
establishment for public accomoda-
tions. Lyfords successor is thought
to have been the Gray Bros, although
Frank Gray seems to have been the
more prominent of the two or posi-
bly,, he was longer in the business.
This was in the neighborhood of six
ty years ago and few of the older

in existence. there were tut three or
four sleeping rooms, aside from the
attic rooms.
William G. Heselton, a shrewd bust
ness man of half century and over
ago. came here from Arson and
changing his vocation from that of
tinware salesman to an inn-keeper,
leased the Elm House property. This
was about fifty-two years since. He
remained there not quite four years
before he purchased the Turner
