later taken up from the floor, Alice 
Sargent, Edna Kitfield, Frank Flem- 
ing and John Dillon being among 
those to participate in the discussion.

Mrs. Harriet Simonds, formerly 
of Manchester, celebrated her 88th 
birthday at the home of her daugh-

Mrs. May E. Simonds, her grand- 
son, Herbert Ripley, and her “great- 
granddaughter, Miss Edith “May,

Mrs. Harriet (Hooper) Simonds 
was born in the old Hooper home- 
stead at the Cove; Oct. 30,5 )1617, 
Her father, Capt. Hooper, was an 
old sea captain, engaged in the mer- 
chant marine service, voyaging to 
the East Indies, and afterwards pur- 
chasing a large farm, where he 
spent his retiring days. In 1837 she 
was married to Abram Simonds, 
and three children were born to 
them, two of whom are living. 
She is enjoying excellent health 
and is able to read without the aid 
of glasses except small print, when 
necessity forces to her aid the 
magnifying glass.. She is active, and 
her hearing is as good as her eye- 
sight, and she enters conversations 
with as keen an enjoyment as the 
younger folk who call to see her. 
Jap-a-lac is quite the thing for touch- 
ing up old furniture, floors, doors, etc.
