Mrs. Tibbetts Has
Ancient Parchment

AS Mrs. Charles o. Tibbetts of ia
State street was reading the Journal,
a few mornings ago, she noticed an
item in the Gardiner locals regarding
an old parchment which John w.
Grant of the Gardiner carrier force
found in his effects, which was dated
1897. Mrs. Tibbetts looked on the
wall of her library and there found
that the parchment which has been
in the possession of the Tibbetts
family for so long. was almost an ex-
act replica of the Grant parchment
The wording of the paper, which was
to establish the citizenship of John
Tibbetts. grandfather Ct Charles O.
Tibbetts, is exactly like the Gardiner
one, except for the name of the citi-
zen and the name of the collector
VINO on the Tibbetts paper was Ben
Jamln we'd and the residence, Bos-
ton district, Charlestown.
The date on the Tibbetts parch-
ment is 1907, ten years later than the
Grant one. John Tibbetts, at that
time was IS years old and was fur
Their described as i've feet and eight
inches tall, light complexion. brown

was obliged to carry his citizenship
papers or he would be seized by the
british government and put onto a
British ship.
The Tfbbetts parchment is well
preserved and the ink IS much black
er than any which can be purchased
now days. The bottom of the paper
IS adorned with seal which time has
dealt uniindly with, dullinS it and
making it almost unreliable.

riers" were found. and about the
same number at the Harrington
school. These cases were all iso
lated, and the two cases of diph-
liberia III the city were duly reported

cause IT'S FOR Swollen. Sore, Painful,
Creaxy Joints Only

It took a great many years to get to-
gether a combination of pain subduing
and swelling reducing agents declared
to be the one remedy that almost in
stantly penetrates through skin and
flesh and starts right in to make swol-
len. inf1amed, creaky, pain racked joints
as good as new.
They call this new and wonderful
preparation Joint Ease" because the
medical man who turned the trick,
worked for years to perfect some low
priced remedy that would really benefit
the millions of people who have one or
more joints that need helpful attention.
So. Joint Ease" is prepared only for
people who have a swollen, painful,
creaky. distorted or stiff joint, whether
it be in knee, elbow. shoulder, ankle.
neck or finger and whether it is caused
by rheumatism or something else.
OF course. it can't help but quickly
put an end to such superficial ailments
as lumbago, neuralgia, neuritis, ach-
ing muscles, stitch in the side, crick
in the neck or sore feet because of it's
penetrating action, but what it is real
~ recommended for is joint ailments
OF any naure whatever.
Ask for a tube of Joint Ease" You
can use it several times in one evening
for quick results, because it goes right
through the skin with only few sec
onds rubbing. 1t surely is swift
penetrator and when it gets under the
skin, it starts right in to clean up all
joint trouble.
All druggists dispense it daily for
about 60 cents tube, as do first class
druggists everywhere.-Adv.

Another MOtOrist
Fined for Cutting
in on Rines Hill

One violator of the motor Nehi-
Gle laws appeared before Judge
Robert A. Cony of the municipal
court Tuesday morning, and pleaded
guilty to passing a moving motor
vehicle on Rines Hill. He was or
dered to pay a fine of 50, which he
produced. The complainant in the
case was Inspector William II. Still
key of the Motor Vehicle Division
of the State Highway Department.
In spite of the many cases of Nio-
lation of the law against passing
vehicles on Il hill when the view
ahead is obscured. and particularly
the cases which have been heard
in the Augusta municipal court for
such Violations on Rines Hill. which
have all been given due publicity,
automobile operators still persist in
attempting to get away with this
dangerous practice. When ques-
toned by Judge COny Yesterday
morning as to whether or not he
did not know that he was violating
the law. the respondent replied that
he did, but offered no eNtenuating
excuse.
