Glove Shop Observes
Tenth Anniversary

Miss Bessie Poorman, who conducts
the Glove Shop at 222 Locust street,
ordered pair of gloves for a friend
ten years ago, just to be obliging.
Years of experience i'm the metropoli-
tan stores had qualified her with a
knowledge of glove values. Other
friends came with similar requests un-
til she found herself in the glove busi-
ness, although having had no intention
of embarking in business. This de-
mand necessitated a stock of gloves
from which to select. and the business
finally outgrew the available space i'm
the residence until eventually the store
at 222 Locust street was established.
This store was opened in September,
1910, and recently a department for
infants and Children has been added.

liberation and Jas. Lucas and Isaac

sideration and Jas. Lucas and Isaac
Stevens were chosen delegates to
meet with delegates from other
towns, to consult the most prudent
measures for the organization of the
county. The town also voted to
raise money to defray the expense
of erecting a courthouse and jail in
the town of Maidstone, for the use
of the county; provided, the legisla-
ture of the state would establish the
shire Of the county in Maidstone.
In 1903 DR.. Tabor located himself
in town. His residence was near
the river, less than one-half mile
above Guildhall Falls. One day, be-
ing absent from home, he returned
and found his wife missing. Not
finding her at the neighbors, a gen.
eral search was made, and she was
at length found lifeless on the bot
tom of the river A jury of inquest
was summoned and a verdict re-
turned of suicide from the effects
of inconsistencies and discourage
ment." DR.. Tabor and wife had
been but a short time married. This
was the last physician who ever To-
Gated in this town intending to make
a permanent residence and practice
his profession exclusively.
The present number of school dis
tricts in town are Z, and average
time of schooling in a year 5 months,
except private schools in families;
number of scholars, IS. We have
no high school established here, but
the fact that every farm through the
town on the river has supported
children of its owner at some of the
high schools of the country shows
that the people are not entirely in
different to education and its OBJ
jects.
Maidstone has had of United
States officers: Rich Stevens, Dep.
uty Marshall Dist. of VT; Moody
Rich, Deputy Collector of Customs;
William Rich, Deputy Collector of
Customs.
