of New Hampshire. Mr. Reyes was
the youngest son of the late Henry
Keyes and was born in Newton, Mass.
January 16, 1871. His boyhood days
were spent in Newbury and from
here he went to Harvard University,
where he graduated in 1893, and
later was identified with the Nashua
River Paper Co. of which he was
Secretary at the time of his death.
His residence was Pepperell, Mass.
Mr. and Mrs Charles Elm of Lisbon,
N. H. were in town the first of the
week calling on friends. Mrs Elm
will be pleasantly remembered as
Miss Helen Reed, her father, the pas
tor of the Advent Church about
twelve years ago.
Miss Lucy Barton of Haverhill,
Mass. is the guest of her cousin
Miss Atkinson.
Mr. Peter Chase was called to East
Hereford, P. @. to attend the funeral
of his mother which took place last
week Monday. j..
Mr. and Mrs Dan Southworth of
Philadelphia motored into town last
Saturday afternoon and with them
was Miss Lisle Southworth, who has
been spending the last two weeks
with them as their guest. Mr. South
worth is a Newbury boy who has
made good. He is now the foreign
buyer of several large Carpet con-
Germs and spends much time abroad
in their interests. Mr. Southworth is
an excellent conversationalist and an
evening spent in his society is al
most like trip abroad.
Mrs Peter Chase is having the
pleasure of her mothers company
Mrs Charles Norm of Baford, Z. a.
Rev. Sylvester Robertson occupied
the Congregational pulpit last Sun
day, and gave his hearers most
interesting and practical every day
sermon. While in town the Reverend
gentleman and his wife, Mrs Robert
son and daughter were the guests OF
Rev. Henry S Ives. The Robertson's
home is Haverhill, Mass. Miss Mable
Butman of Somerville, Mass. is also
their guest.
Mrs Ella Eames of Lisbon, N. H.
who for the past few weeks has
been the guest of her daughter Mrs
Guy Osser, has returned to her home.
Just as we go to press, as the edl-
tor of the Opinion says, we are most
happy to learn that the DR.. Henry j
Kilbourn, formerly pastor of the Con-
gregational Church of Bradford, is to
occupy the Congregational Church
pulpit of this place next Sunday and
is to bring a message which we will
all want to hear. 1t is not necessary
for the writer to say anything more
about DR.. Kilbourn, most of us know
him, and know that he is man who
speaks for the welfare of all who are
within the hearing of his voice.
Our Community Chuatauqua has
come and gone and it was an all
round success. The weather man
was most gracious, he fairly smiled
his approval. The big tent was on
the Common, comfortable chairs
furnished, and a fine platform was
erected by master Mechanic Charles
Hartwell, under the watchful SER
veillance of Harry d Fulton and all
was ready for a most interesting
program, which started off Saturday
evening with the Theresa Sheenan
Company. 1t was the privilege given
to these wonderful entertainers to
have the honor of opening the Chau-
tauqua. Theresa Sheenan proved
that she was the popular idol of the
Chautauqua platform and there are
many in that large audience who
will long remember her thrilling and
graphic recitations of "The Titanic"
Little did she know as she was recit-
ing that seated before her were sad
listeners who had friends on that IL
fated ship and who lost their lives
in that awful tragedy of the deep.
On the second day we had the
Colonial Maids. They were not only
good looking (some one told me that
but they were real entertainers. In
the evening the Gales were here. Mr.
Gale did not look exactly like Maui
rice Gale of Bradford but he knows
how to entertain just as well as
Maurice does and his lecture on the
First Citizen of North America,
which assisted by his wife, was edu-
cational and gave us an insight into
the lives and characteristics of the
noble red man. The third day
brought us DR.. Andrew Harnley,. a.
mastor orator indeed with his won
derful message Making Democracy
Safe for the World" The foundation
of this address was the home and up
on that foundation this gifted man
built his superstructure and held his
audience spell bound for one hour
and thirty minutes. He called a
spade a spade, and not a soul under
the canvass found it necessary to run
home and consult Webster to find
out what he meant. This one address
alone was worth the price of a
season ticket. In the evening of this
day the comedy "Her Husbands
Wife" kept the audience in a roar of
laughter, and John Bedding the
uncle was what the ladies call a
dream. We dare not undertake to
describe the females. The last day
was filed up by the Philippine Quar-
tet who played and sang Philippine
melodies, and the grand climax Of
the evening was Bill Bones lecture
which he prefaced with a glowing
tribute to our townsman Charles r
Taggart 1--WE have yet to learn how
much Charles paid him for this
boost) but every word Mr. Bone said
