"LOne Scout"
Reaches Augusta
From Florida

He says he is Lone Scout and
is travelling around the country, so
he can see how his neshbors live
and he has gotten pretty good start
on the project. as he has hiked or
been lifted from st. Petersburg,
Fla, to Augusta. Me. in the past
four months. Charles Gulledge. a
tall. thin youth of p years, strolled
into the Journal Office, Tuesday fore
noon and told his story. His home is
in South Carolina, but he went even
farther South to st. Petersburg.
Fla, where he passed the winter.
When the call Of the north got into
the hibernator's veins, Charles de-
cided to hit the trail.
The fact that he had no visible
means of conveyance did not trouble
him, so he started out to hoof it. or
course he has has a number of lifts
along the way. He has been to Au-
gusta, Ga, Columbus, $. c., Raleigh.
N. c., Richmond, Va, Washington,
d. c.. Baltimore, Md.
From this city he is planning to
go to Machias, where he has friends
and where he will pass some time.

Sidney, Me-, May 22-Special-Cly-
mena Shorey Drummond. daughter
Of Avery and Olive Shorey, was born
in Waterville Sc years ago. She is
the oldest woman in town. When a
young woman she learned the dress
makers trade, and in those days the
dressmaker sewed in the home for
the family. One family where she
used to sew had number of boys,
and she always laughs now when she
meets certain Reverend who still
resides within the limits of the State.
Of how he as a boy used to "swipe"
her beeswaX she used to wax her
thread, as he liked it for chewing
gum.
At that time there was only one
sewing machine in Waterville, and
the woman who owned it would sew
for anyone for one cent yard. Mrs.
Drummond used to get her to sew
some Of her heaviest work for her.
She remembers how the boys used
to walk to Waterville for the pleas
ure of riding on the train from that
town to Oakland, when the trains
first began running between those
towns. She attended church in Oak
land and remembers one Sunday
when the minister paused in his
sermon and silence was so deep you
could have heard a pin drop as he
told his congrega ton that "it seemed
wicked to him to hear the trains
whistle on Sundays"
She married Javan O. DrrmmOnd
and moved to the Drummond farm
in 1868, where she still! lives with her
oldest son, Arthur Il.
She also has daughter Mrs. Ada
Young of Manchester, and 4 son, AL
bert NJ. Of Augusta. She has 10
grandchildren and great grand
children. She has retained the use
Of all her faculties and keeps busy
all the time. either sewing, crochet
ing or reading.
