Is just four years on the sunny side
Of the century mark, James w. Var
ney of Bristol, is just as full of en-
thusiasm and just as keenly inter-
ested in public affairs as the next
one. Among the most active specta-
tors at the departure of Captain Don
aid Baxter Macmillan of the Arctic
explorer and his crew on the Bow
dom, Saturday, June %, was Mr..
Varney, who is now 96 years of age.
Not because he walked any slower
or because he showed his years any
palmer, but someone with a nose for
news discovered him in the big crowd
on the wharf and prevailed upon him
to pose for the two moving picture
men, who recorded as well. the SAIL
ing of the Bowdoin. down the Sheep
scot river. Mr.. Varney smilingly
consented to pose, in company with
Clerk of Courts Clarence NJ. Richards
of Damariscotta. NOW say some
thing, talk to your friends" was the
order from the moving picture man.
as he peered into his machine. Mr..
Varney, quick of comprehension. be-
gan to chat with his companion,
laughing and finding great deal of
sport in the incident. 1t is safe to
say, that Mr.. Varney was the oldest
man on the wharf that day.
For over 20 years. the veteran Lin
coin county man was register of
deeds, and carried his office, faith
fully and well.
