It was an elaborate piece of silver in its day, although the silver was missing due to the fire it went through over 50 years ago and to the action of the soil in which it was buried. The server was copper and bore the stampings on the handle “Pat. A131. 1894” and also a 1horse’s head and the word “Waldo”. The. handle and around the back of the find was very fancy scrollwork.

BARN DANCE TO BE HELD SATURDAY, AUGUST 15th. After a. period .of over 21 ,yearsvit would hardly be fair to leave this acknowledged pretty village of Millbrook without a word of appreciation, mo matter how feeble, to every- one. We knbw for certain that had it. not'been for the loyal suppdrt we received from the people of Millbrook and dis- trict, the former residents now living at a distance‘in such places as New Zealamd, Germ- any, Califlornia, Florida, and other places in United States, British Columbia, and Western Canada, etc., .to say nothing of the fine support we received from what might be’called the “flour crossroads” of the muni- cipalities of Millbrook, Cavan, South Monagham and M'anvers, all of which we ihave had the pleasure .of doing their work for practically the Whole of the 21 years we have been here, we would not be in a position to spend the rest of our God given remaining days in peace and comfort, to say nothing ()5 what the Government will do for us in a few years, even if we did not cash in on the baby bonus when raising our family, not the fault of the powers that be, but our own for being born too soon. In the period of time we have been here many changes have taken place, some. for the bet. ter some for the worse, but we are glad to say mostly for the better. The village has made pmogress and is going ahead as a walk around the community will reveal, notwithstanding the opinion of a few to the contrary. Our “Seen on King Street” seem? to have made quite a, hit, and in this bit of sillyness we tried hard not to hurt any- ones feelings, nevertheless we did have a few set-backs which It is not easy to say goodâ€"bye to our many friends which in- cludes everyone, as we did our best not to create any enemies. We pnoba‘bly have some, but with the exception of Satan, we do not know of any.
