A Difficult Serenade

party of young people gathered at

evening anticipating giving Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur J. Fisher, who were mar
RED that day, grand send-off. The
newly welded couple did not put in an

through there was barely enough money
to pay fares to Riverside SO when tn /,

the train and there made use of the con-

choose the branch of service in which
they might enlist voluntarily. These

NAMES OLDEST
PHONE OPERATOR

Fairfield Center. Me, June ct is
believed that Mrs. J. A. Gulifer of
Fairfield Center, may claim the dis
tlnction of being the oldest telephone
operator in Maine. if not in the en-
tire country. She celebrated her saith
birthday on May 18th and for eight
years has been the efficient operator
of the Central Office of the Farmers
Telephon Line and enjoys the work.
She says were it not for the tele-
phone she would feel as though she
were living in the dark ages"
Her maiden name was Amanda
Fairbanks. She was born in Water
ford, the eldest daughter of Jonathan
and Sylvinia Fairbanks. There were
eleven children in the family, eight
daughters and three sons. The two
sons older than the subject of this
sketch died many years ago; the 9TH
ers are still living with the exception
of two sisters who have passed away
within four years, at Wilton. 1t
seems quite remarkable that seven
passed the allotted time of threescore
ears anu zen anu tlldl seven OF t0ern
are still living.
AS a child Amanda was always q
leader among the other children.
w hen she was nine years of age her
father took a charge in the Maine
Conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church and so for q number of
years she shared the life of an timer
ants family. AT that time the
preachers staid but one year in
place and the frequent moving inter-
ferred to some extent with the edu-
cational advantages of the children
of the NANCE She remembers that
her father was stationed at Paris,
Rumford Bethel Norway and Har-
rison, after which time he located for
a few years. He later again took up
conference work, serving several
charges, the last of them being Fair
field, his death occurring here at
Fairfield Center in 1877.
When seventeen years of age Miss
Fairbanks was married to NJ. D.
Chase. and to them were born eight
children. four of whom died when
young of diphtheria. The other four
are still living three of them in Mas
sachusetts and one in Wisconsin.
Mr.. Chase died in the West over forty
years ago. In 1881 Mrs. Chase mar
ried James Alfred Gullifer. of Fair
field. in which town they have since
resided with the exception of eleven
years spent in Massachusetts,.

A TONIC FOR
WOMEN WITH
SHAkY NERVES

Any woman who is irritable. nerv-
Gus, depressed, dissatisfied and over
tired should face the facts in her own
case and see where she is drifting.
A tendency to blame husband or
child for everything that happens,
perhaps to scold a little, is a sign
that the nerves are lacking in the
strength that makes the mind calm.
If you are like this your nerves are
sick. The following interview shows
how the nerves can be strengthened"

The treatment in cases like this is
one OF nutrition of the nerve cells, re

nerves get their nourishment from
the blood the treatment must be Ii
rected toward building up the blood.
Or. Williams Pink Pills act directly
on the blood and with proper regula
ton of the diet have proved of the
greatest benefit in many cases of

neurasthenic patients. is also cor
rected by these tonic pills.
