Of course we must say a word about the w e ather—everybody is. Here is a memo from our files: Jan. 1, 1912, 4 below zero, with snow the afternoon before till dark.' AS OTHERS SEE IT. Smith Cox, it is announst, seeks re- election as pres’t of Freeport, but Ernest Randall and perhaps J. Huyler Ellison wil oppose him. —Roosevelt Spectator. ALL MAKE MISTAKES. Our local contemporary at Hemp stead need not feel so bad about, put ting his Weddings under the Obituary heading. The same thing happened in the Brooklyn Times Saturday evening. John Campbell has sold his house on 325 Pine Street, with 220 feet front age by 160 feet deep, to Mr. Dellac, the photographer, of Fifth Avenue, New York. A. Palermo will soon start the erec tion of a large automobile garage at Freeport, opposite Soper’s garage, on Merrick Road. The building will be of cement block construction, 70x96. Rand W. Sutherland has severed his connections with the Brooklyn Daily Times and will devote his time to e d it ing the Nassau Post. Mrs. M T. Jackson, formerly connected with “ The O wl,” succeeds Mr. Sutherland. Freeporters have long known the hardheaded lawyer H a rry Maxson, but never until last week suspected that they hud a sentim ental, poetical Harry Maxson I d their midst. The Observer hereby designates him as the poet laureate of Freeport.—Observer. TALKING OVER THE TELEPHONE. ; It ia rather difficult to talk to an ex- ’ cited woman over the telephone and retain your politeness. Last week one j of the gentler sex told me over the phone that we were a “ bunch of rogues,” and later when ske made a statem e n t and we indiscreetly told her we doubted what she said, she said that we had called her a liar, and hung up her receiver and she had the last word, too. Annual Fire Department Dinner The third annual dinner of the Free port Fire D epartm ent was held at the Crystal Lake House Saturday evening, and although the attendance was not up to former years, fully as enjoyable an evening was spent as at any of the previous affairs. Promptly at 8 :30 the members sat down to a splendid turkey supper which had been prepared by Mrs. Frost, after Hon. George Wallace, acting as Chaplain for the evening, had invoked divine blessing. As the members took their sedts at the tables they found menu cards, with a picture of the Chief printed on the inside, at every place. The dinner served was as follows: Blue Points Celery Olives Salted Almonds Potage Cream of Tomatoes Roast Turkey, Thanksgiving Potatoes Turnips Creamed Onions Fruit Salad In the Fire Department M a t t e r s o f i n t e r e s t to a n d a b o u t t h e fir e m e n in o u r l o c a l d e p a r t m e n t b y H . E . P . Don’t forget the benefit for the Freeport Fire Company Truck No. 7, to he held at the Plaza Theatre, on January 21.—Owl Freeport certainly is growing. Sev en trucks ought to mean about 20 hose wagons. W ERNER NYGREN Elected President of Freeport Club for At the meeting of the Fire Depart ment last Thursday evening, we re ceived a visit from the F ir s t and Sec ond Assistant Chiefs of the Rockville Centre Fire Department, and during the course of a very interesting con versation, we learned that over there Cocktail | they are considering iost as we are Radishes j here, the advisability of forming an organization, possibly confined to the South Shore, including part of Suffolk, where the advancement of firemanic affairs will be of first importance, and not the running of tournaments,^which would be secondary if run at all.

Fletcher, who dressed her wounds.—Eagle. The annual election of officers of the Freeport Club was held Monday even ing. Notwithstanding that it was a b itter cold night, nearly 50 members of the Clnb were present, and the fol lowing officers were unanimously el ected : President, W erner N y g ren; vice president, Edward B. Thom p son; sec retary, Edmund T. C h eshire; treasur er, Robert G. Anderson; trustees, W illiam H. Grace, C. Dwight Baker; Thomas Spence and Henry P. Libby. The regular report of the treasurer and president showed satisfactory con ditions of the Club, financially and membership. The report showed an excess of assets of liabilities of $12,- 416.02, and during the year 21 mem bers have been elected. The following were appointed a nom inating committee for next year: H. L. Crandell, Theodore H. Vought, Raymond J . Miller, John D. Gunning, W ard C. Moon, H. L. Cummings, F.

I ’ve read this item from a Rockville Centre paper six times, but I c an’t yet discover what they are trying to say: “ A new paper is about to be issued in Freeport to be called The Post. With a Post and a Review bc^th established in newspaperdom, there is no danger of the world being set on fire—that is if there is anything in a name. An other paper is called the Messenger, but even that name is of slight im portance unless it has a message to de liver that is worth while. The pub lishers of the new paper, Messrs. Stiles and Sutherland, are bright, pushing young men, and if there is a vacant newspaper field in the village, we pre dict they will occupy i t ” . port, who were about to be married. The others of the party were Mrs. Duruz of Baldwin, Mr. Cotter of Free port, and B ert Gilbert of Hempstead. The bridal party’s auto was directly in the path of the plunging horses and a collision seemed imminent when the frightened animals swerving to one side missed the bridal auto by a few feet, crashing into a big tree. The driver was thrown out but was unhurt. The pole un the wagon was snapped and the horses stopped in their mad dash. The wedding party entered the residence of Dr Kerr and without any further thrills Miss Cotter became Mrs. Gilbert. Trolley Franchise Granted A t the m eeting of the Village Board of Trustees Thursday afternoon, the application of the Freeport Railroad Company for permission to continue its trolley line, now running up Glove Street, thru Railroad Avenue to Main den M ott and Chaplain Scudder to their | S treet, was granted, subject to proper offices. x ! conditions of franchise.

Word has been received from Peter R. Brown, of E. F. Pruden Council, of Brooklyn, that he had been reappoint ed as Deputy State Councilor over Freeport Council, and that on Friday evening, January 23, he will make his first official visit. Many of our broth ers who have been present on other oc casions when Brother Brown has been with us will remember his pleasant greetings and interesting remarks and will s trive to be present. Those of our brothers who have never been present should avail themselves of this oppor tunity. ________ Fourteen Years Ago (Items of interest from the Review files fourteen years ago this week) TIME FOR TROLLEY. We are asked frequently as to the tim e s the trolleys run. We can only say th a t if you fight hard enough you may be able to get a tim e -table from the Trolley Company, but after you get it do not pay much attention to it. If you want to go anywhere by trolley, find the nearest time that one is sched uled to run, and then be at the place 15 minutes early, and you may catch the one before or the one after as it happens. Our office faces a trolley stop, and we find that is the only way we can catch a car. We would not | avow that they do run 15 minutes early, for it may be the one before, but we have found them several min utes ahead of the time they were in- zv; \ l ..: dence, 52 North Main Street, with five | ------------- per cent for collection sinde Dec. 10. j ALL KINDS OF SCHEMES.

Following Chief Loonam came Trus tee Randall, the only member of the Village Board present, who assured the members that although the Fire De partm ent was only one of the many departments the Village Board had to look after, they would always give the firemen the consideration due them in the adm inistering of their affairs. The ex-Chiefs present then added to the interest of the evening by a few words of greeting, in the following order: Ex Chief W alter B. Cozzens of Hose 2, ex-Chief Clarence M. VanRip er of Truck 1, ex-Chief A. B. Wallace of Hose 1 and ex-Chief A. Jam es Cron- ley of Hose 1. George Wallace, who was the first foreman of Hose 1, and Alexander R. Rhodes, one of the first members of Truck 1 with Mr. Wallace, before the organization of Hose 1, gave interest ing reminiscences of the times when apparatus had not been of the latest factory make and pulled by fast teams. Their remarks, half serious, half jocu lar, were very well received, and that they appreciated the work of the men of the present day, even though most of their work had been done when there were not so many hands to do the work, was well shown. The last speaker of the evening was Captain James Hanse, ex-Village President and an active member of Engine 1. Captain Hanse, never in capable of entertaining, added much to the enjoyment by his characteristic wit. • Ex-Chief Cronley was chairman of the committee which arranged the din ner, and although the attendance was small, the success was greater than the attendance would show.

The following item appeared in the Hempstead Republican of January 10: President Floyd Weekes told a rep resentative of this newspaper Thurs day that the Fire Departm ent is cost ing the village altogether too much, and that it was not as effective as twenty years ago. He said that if an alarm of tire is given the firemen in- 1 stead of dragging the apparatus at once to the scene, that the boys will wait for a horse or auto come along, and thus lose valuable time. As Mr. Weekes has been a fireman for many years he should be versed in depart mental affairs. I have.a couple of times published letters in these columns giving the Hempstead boys a friendly knock, hut we all agree it is too bad that they have to be thus discourteously treated \by a village official. No one doubts that the Hempstead Department is made of as good stuff as any other vol unteer department, and when they are criticized for not pulling the apparat- us by hand to 28 calls they had this year, to possibly 6 they hud at the time the speaker refers to, it shows pretty conclusively that their critic has not kept pace with the growth of their village. A number of the members of the Baldwin Fire Department narrowly es caped serious injury Sunday evening. An alarm sounded at about 8.16, and the hose wagon was s tarted for the fire behind Otto Payne’s automobile. Part way to the fire, which was in the south entf of the village, the wheel of the hose wagon broke, with the wagon traveling at high speed, and all the men who were riding were thrown to the ground but fortunately without serious injury, although many ef them are nursing severe bruises. annual dinners would continue, and in no sense could it be called a failure. The rest of the committee consisted of Edwin Stillwell, Hose 1; Henry S. Starr and S. Dimon Smith, Hose 2; Milton Combs and Robert Patrick, Hoee 3; J . Cecil Powers and John J.
