with great loss We claim the doctor

where he spent his boyhood days and
here his influence remains. 1t was in
the seventies that DR.. Chamberln came
to our village and his father, r. w.
Chamberlin, assumed the proprietorship
Of the Spring hotel and was proprietor
Of the time of its destruction by fire in
1879. For several years their home was
over back Of the common, the house
now owned by John Goodwin. Much
good can be said of George Z. Chamber

and as a soldier, but this we will leave
to more gifted pen. bat as personal
tribute from one who in his youth adj
mred the deceased's grandfather, Ell

were his personal friends. he feels that
he knows whereof he speaks when ne
mentions that the doctor inherited the
sympathetic nature and gentle touch of
his mother, as well as the martial spr-
it of his father; these qualities en-
deared him to all George f. Chamber

man. courteous and true. He was al

The following poem, written in
young school girls round handwriting,
found its way mysteriously ION the
scribes desk There is SO much truth
in it that we are going TO pass it along:
Have smile for everyone you meet
ii you were walking up a street
Smile, and you will find the repeat
Because you smiled.
if some days all things so wrong
Don't give up, try and sing song
A day can't last 50 very long,
Anyway, smile.
When you can't get your lessons done
And you're longing for some fun
Don't give up and 90 and run
Keep on working, and, have smile.
If some people you can't like
Though you haven't any right
Keep on trying, soon you might
BY their smiles.
II small sisters sometimes cry
When they haven't reason why,
Try and amuse them, don't say fie!
Then they'll smile.
If you really do your best
Other folks will do the rest
And in the end you'll sure be blessed
Because you smiled
