CET-TOCETHER At
BAPTIST CHURCH
ENJOYABLE Event

The lecture and entertainment by
the Hardy family at the Penny
Memorial United Baptist church,
Friday evening was of a most hap
PLY inspirational nature. The oc-
casion was the first fall get-to-
gether of the parish and a goodly
number were present to enjoy the
fine evenings program presented by
the talented group from the York
county town.
The entertainment had been an
nounced under the alluring title of
THE Happy Life" and each and ev-
cry number by the different men,
bers of Rev. Trad B. Hardy's family
was successful in fulfilling the pro-
mise of drawing 60 laughs in 60
minutes from the genuinely ap-
preciative audience.
Rev. Howard Brown, the pastor
of the church, in a few we'll chosen
remarks introduced the various
members of the family, and Mrs.
Mabel Hall Hardy was the first to
entertain, with brilliant exhibition
of Indian club swinging. Rev. Mr..
Hardy then delivered his famous
half hour talk on the Happy Life.
His remarks were delightfully."- hum
orous. with fine message of joy of
life running through it all. and his
hearers were put in a most amicable
frame of mind, which as Mr.. Hardy
stated he hoped they could go out
from the evenings get-to- gether and
spread its influence all about the
Capital city. ,.
Mrs. Hardy and Miss True Hardy
next presented the nurse scene from
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
and it was really remarkable char
acterization that these two talented
ladies presented with the simple aid
of the usual setting of the little
church stage. Miss Margaret Hardy.
who has a sweet soprano voice rem
dered a solo. and so pleasing was
her rendition that her hearers de-
manded an encore.
Mrs. Hardy then gave a series of
selected readings which were calcu-
lated to please all from the children
to the most critical Of the audience.

Palermo Loses Suit
VS.. Windsor to Help
Support Old Lady
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


Belfast. Sept. 2S-One Of the sad
dest cases to be heard in years in
the Waldo county supreme judicial
court was opened this morning, In
habitants Of Palermo VS.. Inhabitants
of Windsor. to recover for the sup
port of poor old lady who has
passed her IS years working for 9TH
ers and now in her old age finds
herself bone of contention between
three towns. for 1t seems that Paler-
mo has also brought suit against the
town Of China.
Taking the stand Miss Elizabeth
Parmenter. who said she was born
on Parmenter Hill, Palermo. in the
house that her grandfather built,
testified that she will be IS years old
in November. that this Is the first
time she has ever been In court and
that her creed Is truth and righte-
BUSINESS" She said that from the
time she was big enough she worked
out as a domestic earning her own
living. She joined the Methodist
church in Waterville and later took
a letter 10 the church of Windsor
where she was working and con-
tributed So per year to its support as
long as she was able.
A pathetic feature Of The eXamina-
ton of this old lady was an attempt
by her counsel tc have her identify
and refresh her memory by three
small note, books, In which she used
to keep an account of the places she
worked, the dates and time OF SER
vice. She was unable to read the
books, owing to her eyes being so
poor. although she stated with a
sorry smile that she ordinarily could
see TO read but that she was so tired
and nervous she could not do so at
this time.
Overseers of the poor of Palermo
testified to finding her in that town
in a destitute condition. unable to
work, and that the town had for
some years provided for her by
. boarding her out, paying at first 81
and later So per week for her board.
! They also testified as to sending
notice of this to the town of Wind
sor, stating that Miss Parmenter
was a resident of that town, and re-
Ceived a denial within the specified
time.
| On cross examination, one of the
present overseers stated that he had
caused suit to be brought against
the town of China for $500. That
| against Windsor is for $500.
! Miss Parmenter is a small, slight
woman, with white hair. She was
neatly dressed and walked with a
| black cane. On the stand. but for
I her deafness, she made an admirable
witness, and there was many a tear
| held back by men and women in the
court room as they saw this aged and
infirm woman, who has passed her
| life working for others. brought to
such a sad state. the bone of conten-
| ton in a suit as to what town should
care for her.
7 Mark j. Bartlett represented the
town of Palermo and Andrews. Nell
son & Gardiner, the town OF Wind
| sor. Mr.. Nelson cross examined the
| witnesses. After hearing the testi-
mony for the defense. Judge Morrill,
ordered the jury to return a verdict
| for the defendant, the plaintiff hav-
, ing failed to show that Miss Par
/ menter was resident of Windsor
! Another suit for the same cause, for
| $500. is now pending against the
