Kingman, Me., Dec. 10 - ... Let me first mention the names of the St. Andrews people who are at present residing here and then we will pass on to other New Brunswickers who are also here. The first St. Andrews family to be recorded is the Meagher family consisting of the father, George MEAGHER and five or more children. William MEAGHER, the oldest, is married and has one child. He is doing fairly well, having erected a snug little house on the banks of the Mattawamkeag River. Next home the Pelton boys, Owen PELTON and Ernest PELTON. Since leaving St. Andrews, Owen has been united in wedlock bands to a blushing damsel of Chamcook, N.B. Owen is 'oiler' in the tannery for L.B. Clark & Co.. He has held the position for nearly two years receiving $ 1.40 a day for the same. Ernest is a bleacher man, so called or his having charge of the bleacher in the tannery. Now comes our genial Thomas DOHERTY. He works in the roll loft of the tannery, Last comes Mrs. Ella TOBAN, a sister to Mrs. Mary THOMPSON, to whom is accredited the best hotal Kingman ever had. Let us pass on some other Charlotte Co. people. First comes Kinney MURRAY, an old timer, but nevertheless hale and hearty. Kinney is a brother of John MURRAY of St. Stephen. He has been in Kingman for nearly 20 years. He and his brother, James MURRAY, who died last spring, used to engage in lumbering considerably, but since James died, Kinney has been to work in the tannery. Kinney has a snug little farm across the river from the town and a barn on it. Next comes S.B. MANN and family, formerly of Baillie, who have been in this town about 14 months. Sam holds a good position in the tannery being night fireman and receiving $1.75 a night. He has worked 14 months at the job and has never as yet missed one single night. Sam has lately had an addition to his family in the person of a little girl which now gives him five of a family. The last on the list of Charlotte Co. people is David E. MANN who is charged with the writing of the Kingman notes for the 'Border News' published at Danforth, Me. Let us consider those from other parts of the province. The first we might name would be Charles WHITE and family, formerly of Queens Co. Charles has been over here three or more years.

Clark & Co., as foreman of their machine chop. Following these wer find Harry TAYLOR of St. John, N.B. who employed as head book-keeper by L.B. Clark & Co.
