He toid of the many changes in Scotland in the past forty- seven years, and that only three names are on the voting list that were registered when he came to that vil- lage nearly a half century ago. He also related his first ride on the old Providence steam road, now the New York, New Haven and Hartford road, and said the train speed and ac- commodations we have now are bet- ten today then they were in those days. Mr. Brown has been a weekly vis- itor in Baltic for the past forty-five years.
