Somerset Glee Club Meets

Once again Merry was successfully
linked with Christmas when the SOM
erset Glee Club met Monday evening
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Reed on Steward avenue. Shortly
after the arrival OF the guests the
club yell was sounded. The meet
ing was then called to order by the
president. After a short business
session the remainder of the evening
was filled with a we'll planned pro-
gram of games and music, features OF
the latter being violin solos by Mrs.
Hector Sirois accompanied by Mrs.
Thomas Dionne. A turkey contest
was held in which Mrs Hazel Brooks
won the prize. Another unusual
feature of the evenings entertainment
was an old fashioned costume race
when Mr. Fortier took first prize and
Mr.. Reed successfully gained the
score of BOBBY. At this instant the
iovial party was hushed by the sud
den appearance of Santa Claus, who
at once begun his duty by distribut-
ing the many gifts which hung from
the Christmas tree that Mrs. Reed
has lastly arranged and decorated.
Christmas candies and sailed peanuts
were served Before the departure
of the guests Mrs. Gordon prepared
delicious oyster stew which was serv-
ed with coffee and cake by the hostess
assisted by Mrs Mildred Dunlap. The
next meeting will be with Mrs. Mamie
Ellis.

To Our News Stand Customers

Fifteen hundred people are buying
the Independent Reporter at various
news stands each week. They are
paying SC per copy, which amounts to
$3.50 year Between now and
January first you can take out
years subscription for $3.50 a year.
In some cases you may get your pa
per at the news stand conveniently
or little earlier than you would
through the mails. In practically
every case, however, you would find
the arrangement, where the paper
comes to you via of the post office, a
local or rural delivery, just as prompt
and very much more satisfactory. In
any event, the annual subscription at
s1.50 Is only slightly more than
half what you are now paying as a
news stand customer. We would be
very pleased to have you on our
books as an annual subscriber.
The above notice is published at
this time because of the fact that at
ter January first the subscription
price will be $500 per year. Even
at that rate, a yearly subscription
will be much less than the cost of
purchasing week by week at the news
stand But, If you are thinking of
subscribing, it will be of course to
your advantage to let US enter your
name previous to January first

Donation for the Chas. A. Collin Fund

AS a result of news items in the
Reporter from time to time regard
ing the Charles A. Coffin Fund. dona-
tions have been received from form
er citizens now living in other states.
Among them has recently arrived
check from H. Stuart Philbrick, a
former resident Of Skowhegan. Mr..
Philbrick is the son of the late JOS
eph H. and Mary Steward Philbrick.
The family lived for time on Pleas
ant street and afterward on Elm
street in the house now occupied by
Mrs. Emma Burrill. The gentleman
from whom the donation comes, best
known to Skowhegan people by the
name of Henry Philbrick, was prob
ably born on Elm street. His par
ents moved to Mississippi for a few
years after the war, his father hav-
ing a government appointment in that
state. He later returned here and
Henry attended the Skowhegan
schools for several years. After that
the family moved to Boston where
his education was completed and
from which city he travelled for sew
eral years. having an important con-
nection with manufacturing con-
Germ. The father Joseph H. Phil
brick, was at one time postmaster of
Skowhegan.
Mr.. Philbrick Is now a resident OF
Tilton, n. H. and is an employee of
Tilton Academy. His thoughtfulness
is much appreciated by those who are
endeavoring to create a local fund to
completely avail themselves OF Mr..
Collins generous offer.
The letter received from Mr. Phil
brick follows.
