feature of the occasion being the
presence of their three children with
their families: Charles Fl. Pepper
of Concord, Mass; Mrs. Frederick NJ
Paddelford of Seattle, Washington
and Mrs Everett W Varney of Now
ton Center, Mass.
Mrs. Pepper was a woman of strong
character, fine mind and magnetic
personality. Her gifts were many
and varied-executiye, domestic, ar
tistic and literary. She was the NOV
ing spirit of much, church and mis-
sionary work. She was highly ap-
preciated a leading helper In the Wa
terville Woman's Association; she
was interested in Club work and suf
frage and enthusiastic for every good
cause including that of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. She
was highly appreciated as a speaker
and it was in this capacity that she
was best known in Skowhegan. Dur
ing past years, she addressed the
Town improvement Society and the
Woman's Club on literary subjects
many times. To the Eunice Farms
worth Chapter OF the D. A R. she
once gave a stirring talk on the sub
ject of her adopted State of Maine
Sunrise her name, for she opens the
day,
Dirigo her motto-she leads the way.
Guests were always invited when
Mrs. Pepper was to speak, for some
thing original in its line was to be
expected Her points were carefully
chosen, well thought out and punctu-
ated by her own inimitable humor.
She also spoke on missionary themes,
and the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union heard her gladly.

Pepper took an active part in the
campaign for retaining Names Pro-

M. N. Stevens of Portland, then State
and National President of the W. C.
T. U. At the banquet held here in
celebration of the victory, Mrs. Pep
per was present as the guest of hon.
or and gave an inspiring talk. She
spoke for the Union several times at
ter that, and indeed it was for this
purpose that she made her last visit
to Skowhegan in May, 1916.
One of the articles that have come
from her pen during the last year
was on friendship. Mrs. Pepper was
indeed a wonderful woman and she
was wonderful friend To all who
called her by that name-and they are
legion-the precious memory OF her
long and active life, so full OF faith
and courage to the last, will be an
abiding inspiration.

result hung in the balance 80 minutes
or more, but the fire fighters were,
in the end, completely victorious. The

was surrounded with wooden build

In actual contact The manner in
which the boys kept the flames from
getting into the Bragg & Varney
block, and the other buildings along
Madison avenue. would arouse enthu-

cold night, and It took both endurance
and courage to face such situation,
but the members Of the various com
panies met the emergency in splendid

Hobart

Friends of w. c. Hobart are en-
thusiastic, in their belief that he
should be reelected Manager of the
Farmers Telephone Company They
aver, among other things that his
record for faithful, efficient service is
unquestioned, and that there is little
reason to search for improvement by
changing him for any man less fam
iliar with the company, its plant and
its needs. They have asked the Re-
porter to urge every member to at
tend the meeting, at Norridgwock,
next Monday.
