This pretty village has changed greatly in thirty years. The oid Plainfield academy was a _private school then, fairly well attended, and there were public schools in both the Brick and White Hall schoolhouses. The old stone church was much the same, but the pretty St. John’s church was not even thought of in those days. Union hall was the only hall, and some of the entertainments held there were good, especially those under the man- agement of Dr. E. H. Davis, and the academy parties and - exhibiticns. Here also Comical Brown was wel- comed by young and old. The village had two stores then, Waldo’s and Kirgsley's, and the postoffice was kept at Tillinghast's or Waldo's. Later the | postoffice was moved to the little coty tage on Depot avenue where Thomas | King now lives, and a.few years later to its present location. The old foun- dry and stable stood in what is now the mill grounds. The boarding house stood pear the crossing. The Journal office Was next to the old postoffice on Depot avenue; the Junction house was the Austin house, and David Douglass had a few boarders in the old hotel. The station agent lived over the sta- tion. The only meat market was at Tillinghast's and the- only icehouse. The 4 o’clock train stayed here. Tenements rented at from $2 to $5 a month. Everybody kept hens and had a garden. Three or four farmers’ wives supplied the stores with cheese and others supplied butter. Bggs and huckleberries were shipped and there T[]t In 'the: Far Corners . of the World —wherever men, dauntless and determined, have ventured, ““Bull”’ roved an ever-ready source of inspiration and enjt “roll their own’’ as habitually as they eat, sleep or breathe. every crisis they seek the cheerful counsel of its fragrant smoke.

How proud all were of the oil street lights and the first sidewalk! Times have changed. Burpee's and Jack Oats’ shops were blacksmith shops then and there was another where Pember’s house stands. The Fey mills were running and Dea- con Ames had a broom shop where William Harvey lives. Telephones and autos were unknown and only a few of the old-time high bicycles had ap- peared. Plainfield had a band and a singing school and a roller skating rink in those days, but no one read her future, although she once had a boom. | MYSTIC William H.
