Let us hope that Candlemss Day will
soften the temperature somewhat. Our
January thsw" lasted only one day and
the past week has given us temperatures
about as low as they ever get on this
high land. Saturday morning it was
thirty below zero and Sunday morning
twenty below. The water has frozen in
several houses but most of them have
been thswed out.
IL is expected that the entertainment
to be given at Paris Hill on the evening
of Thursday, February 18th, viii be one
of the best ever given here. Besides the
vocal work of the qusrtette, there will
be instrumental specislties and readings.
The talent is paid by fund contributed
for the purpose but nominal admission
OF ten cents will be charged to meet
local expenses.
His many friends at Paris Hill learned
with deep regret of the passing away OF
Dan Winslow at the home of his brother
in Buffalo, N. Y, on Monday the 26tb
inst. While Mr.. Winslow had not been
in his usual health for year or more,
the news OF his death came as surprise
TO most Of his friends In this community,
where he has made his home and where
he has been q very familiar figure for
about twenty years. A letter written by
him to q friend two days before his
death contains the following: 81 am
pretty we'll, but not feeling myself. /
am looking forward TO spring and the
time when can go east. / hope that
will be soon, for / want to get back to
Paris" In earlier life Mr.. Winslow had
successful career In the insurance
business, reaching the position OF As
sistsnt Manager of one of the leading
New York insurance companies; his
health giving ont, he came about twenty
years ago to The Beecbes, and after q
season or two established home for
himself in this village, where most of
his time has been spent except for
short winter seasons with relatives and
friends in Boston and New York. Paris
Hill was the only place that he called
bis home, and about two years ago he
and his sister purchased the Clementine
Cushmsn stand on Main Street, which
they have improved, furnished and have
occupied during the summer and fall.
Mr.. Winslow was q man Of broad educa-
tion and experience and possessed of a
social nature that made for him q wide
circle of friends, both among the summer
colony and those who live here the year
around, and he will be greatly missed at
Paris Hill. He is survived by one
brother, with whom he was spending the
winter in Buffalo, N. Y, and a sister,
Miss Hsrriette 81. Winslow, who has
spent her summers with her brother
here for several years, and to whom the
sympathy of this community is ex-
rended.
