Hiram Thing remembers DR.. Hor-
ace Stevens who practiced here for
years until he was an old man. He
came from good family, was an ex-
cellent physician and liked by all the
citizens. He lived in the old Ste
vens house on Madison avenue where
the Edgar Duntons now make their
home. He died twenty-eight years
ago. He was born in Piermont, New
Hampshire in 1916, educated at Dart
mouth and the University of YER
mont, and commenced the practice of
medicine in 1912, moving to Skowhe-
gan in 184S. He practiced medicine
and surgery in this town until he
went to the Civil War as surgeon of
the First Maine cavalry, serving in
the army three and one half years

DR.. Stevens Seniors wife, Louisa
j. Mann, was the sister of DR.. Mann
who lived on the Athens road and
had an office on Madison avenue
where L. b. Jewett's market now is.
"He was a funny cid fellow says Mr.,
Thing HE used to make pills and
his favorite cure was medicine which
he made out of rum and molasses. He
had any amount of business and no
wonder" DR.. Mann was one of the
local celebrities of those days. He
published a paper here called "The
Screamer". This paper was pub
lished in the 1905, for probably
about four years. A copy of the
"Screamer' is very much desired by
the IndependentReport
DR.. Mann must have died about
thirty years ago.

J. Fred Pollard who was 80 years
old December %, 1916, remembers
DR.. William Snow. He says that he
was a doctor in Cornville when Mr.
Pollard was just a small boy. This
was probably somewhere about 1896
or 1910. DR.. Snow then lived in a
little one story building directly OPP
posite the town house and with the
Pollard family and others from the
neighborhood attended church there
This town house, Mr.. Pollard thinks
was first built as kind of co-opera-
tive union church and town hall en-
terprise. Either thru himself or his
father, Mr.. Pollard owned and con-
tinues to own a seat in it. This
Cornville town house, tho now used
chiefly for other than religious pur-
poses, is often spoken of as Gods
Barn.
DR.. Snow was twice married, his
first wife being Fannie Jewett, his
second, Esther Wentworth. There
were two children, William b., and
Charles w. He moved to Skowhe-
gan about 1856 into a house which
was then located nearby the house
on Water street where b. f. EatoI
now lives. DR.. Snow died there
about 1867.

who lived in the house next to the
Governor Coburn mansion which was
recently purchased and moved away

the Bowen place, probably taking its

Jones Co. were not questioned. The
company showed itself always ready
to further the interests of its clients
and this, in many instances, at the
very great risk of it's own financial
welfare.
Probe Is Illuminating
The investigation, whatever the
motive that prompted it, will un-
doubtedly be productive of much
good and should completely vitalize
the "blue skv" law, thus pointing out
to Ohio dealers what road they must
travel in order to retain their right
to do business in this state.
At the same time, it should afford
greater protection to Ohio investors.
1t should not only tend to check the
activities of fy-by-night promoters,
but also to lead legitimate dealers in
high-class securities to exercise
greater care both in statements that
they issue concerning securities and
in the supervision of the companies
in whose securities they deal.
