House Opening at S. w. W1lder's
Newbury Neck Home.
Saturday, July II, large dele
cation from Surry, Bluehill and Ellis
worth, about ninety in all, spent
the late afternoon and evening at
"Overlook Farm" South Surry. Re-
freshments were served, and OPP
portunity was given every one to
view the property and thoroughly
inspect the garden and the new
buildings at the Wilder summer
home.
Last November, Mr.. and Mrs. S.
w. Wilder suffered a severe loss in
the complete destruction of the
house and other buildings at their
summer home on Newbury Neck,
South Surry. Plans for new house
were at once prepared, and during
the past eight months a crew of men
has been actively engaged on the
new buildings to replace those de-
stroyed.
Construction has been carried on
under the direction of A. B. Herrick
of Surry and Bluehill, and in order
to avoid any delay in the work of
erection, lumber was brought in NO
vember and December last by
schooner directly to Newbury Neck.
Fortunately, weather conditions In
November and December were favor
able, and work on the new buildings
was pushed rapidly, so that before
severe weather set in, the house and
barn were framed and closed in, and
it was possible for the carpenters,
masons and others to carry on the
inside work with little interruption.
Work of the masons was directed
by w. B. Wescott, and that of the
painters by WIT. Robertson, both of
Bluehill. Plumbing has been in
stalled by Edward F. Brady of Ellis
worth, and the electric lighting plant
and fixtures were furnished by the
Moor Electric Co. of Bluehill. Work
of the carpenters has been in charge
of L. G. Morgan of Surry, who has
been on the job nearly eight months.
While much grading and clearing
up still remain to be done, the new
buildings are practically completed.
Great credit for the work accom-
plished is due Charles L. Cunning.

without opposition If possible, in
order that ne may head the legion
naires on their pilgrimage to France

to improve conditions abroad If Gen
Pershing heads the peace-time or
ganization with the men who served
under him. a majority of whom have
not visited France since the signing
of the armiStice.
With view to carrying a large
