RANDOLPH FIREMANS' MUSTER
neal Old Fashioned Times To Be Re-
lived On, Labor Day

iiVed On, Labor Day

muster is to be held in Randolph on
LABOR Day. Not for many a year we
believe the last one held in Gardiner
was on Fourth of July. as a part of
the celebration, has like one been
held. 1T remains to be seen how
much of the old time foreman's abil-
lty IN getting the last ounce of
strength out OF the men at the prmp.
remains in the present day foreman.
In events like this inches count in the
eHort to send the drops of water just
beyond the score of the competitors.
All Randolph is boosting for the Fire
mans Muster and all the boosting is
by no means confined to Randolph.
Tor the event has just the same at
traction for Gardiner, Hallowell and
the surrounding towns.

TO solicit funds have met with a gen.
erous response and have approx
imately $500 on hand. subscribed by
people on both sides of the river. In
