There was one incident which occurred at town meeting Tuesday that was greatly regretted by most of those preset. At the close of the remarks of one of our most substantial citizens -- as honest, upright and well informed in matters of which he speaks as he is courageous and outspoken -- he was greeted by hisses, some of which came from the women present to their disgrace.

We have been in twenty-one town meetings in Hampton and this is the first time we can remember such as occurrence; and, mind you, it-comes to us with the advent of our women in politics, from whom we have hoped much in elevating the tone of public meetings.

We believe a down-right injustice was done that gentleman and that the public may be better able to judge the matter we purpose to illustrate at some length next week some phases of the railway problem which are not generally known. There were two courses which could have been followed in securing the continued service of the system and by contrasting what might have been done with what has been done the public can judge as to whether any one knows "what we are buying."

Capt. A. H. Myers

The following is taken from the Lubec Herald for March 3. Captain Albert Hunt Myers a life-long resident of South Lubec, departed this life Feb. 20, 1921. Captain Myers was born in South Lubec, Dec. 9, 1843, the son of Seward and Lydia Hunt Myers, and was united in marriage to Miss Ruth Allen Nov. 1866. To this union were born five children, Addie L., (Mrs. George Connors) Jasper B., Percy L., Payson F., and Orra E. (Mrs. W. H, Godfrey) all of whom were present to pay last sad tribute of respect to their loved one, excepting Mrs. Connors whose death occurred March 1904. Captain Myers is also survived by eleven grand-children and one great-grand child and two sisters, Mrs. Serena Blackwood of Pembroke, and Mrs. Sophia Small of Lubec. Captain Myers was among the first members of the Life Saving crew at Quoddy Head Station in 1874. In Dec. 1875, he was made Captain, and served faithfully until April 1902 when failing health compelled him to resign, much to the regret of his crew and the official board. Captain Myers being of a pleasing personality won a host of friends during his twenty-eight years of service. He also did a great and noble work, saving many lives and much valuable property, many times at the risk of his own life. His many kind acts to those in peril will not be forgotten, and no doubt today his memory will be honored and stand as a monument among the Life Savers, or Coast Guards (now so called). Captain Myers was a member of the Washington Lodge F. and A.M. The Masons, attending in a body, took charge of the service. The choir rendered two selections (by request) "Throw Out The Life Line" and "After." The floral offerings were many and beautiful, showing the esteem in which the deceased was held. Burial was in the family lot in the Lamson cemetery. The remains were placeed beside his wife who preceded him three years ago.

Subject Sunday morning at 10:30 will be, "Ready." Sunday School at 11:00, evening service at 7:00.

The reports of the several treasurers show that there have been raised for home work and benevolences over $3720.

During the past two years it has been much in evidence that our house of worship needed repairs but the world seemed greater so our people have liberally "helped bear" these burdens. In the coming year we hope to make some of these repairs.

We are preparing for a special Easter service and shall take an offering for the children of the world.
