Lenox - A letter from G.W. Mapes, Lenox, Pa., relates "An Incident in the Life of [Galusha A.] Grow." "It was in the winter of 1862 that the writer of this article was in camp at Suffolk, Virginia. Our Regiment were drafted men, and had left home with slender means to provide any luxuries for themselves, very many of the boys having families at home dependent upon them for support. What little money they had at the time of departure from home, in many instances the last dime was given with a sigh and a tear from the little ones left behind. Thus it was with empty purse, we were without means to purchase a few articles of stationery to communicate our thoughts to absent ones. In this dilemma it was suggested to the writer to communicate with Grow, at Washington, to loan a small sum of money to buy the needed supplies. A week elapsed and no tidings, when lo! On the morning of December 30th, who should ride into camp but the estimable wife of Frederick Grow and Galusha A. himself. There is no recipient living of Grow's bounty that day that will ever forget while life lasts. The boys were generously supplied with fractional currency and as much stationery as the occasion required. How many hearts were gladdened by this act of generosity it is needless to say, but this much we do know, that histories of love and tenderness were written on those blank pages that night. The prevailing sentiment at that time was and is now-Loyalty to our country and gratitude to Grow."

Bridgewater Twp. - A pleasant event, and one long to be remembered in the minds of the pupils, also their parents, was a Flag Raising held at the Sprout School House in Northwest Bridgewater, on Thursday afternoon, April 6, 1903. It was planned to have this in connection with a patriotic entertainment on Washington's birthday, but owing to a delay in getting the flag, it was postponed and took place on the above date, the closing day of school. After the indoor exercises, the school marched out and encircled the beautiful hickory pole, which had been cut, peeled and placed in position by the patrons of the school, and then raised the handsome flag, repeating as they did so, the pledge. After this all joined in singing, "Red, White and Blue," and the company of happy school children dispersed, patrons as well as pupils thanking the energetic and painstaking teacher, Miss Annie Brewster, for her labors in connection with the event which brought so much joy and pleasure to all present.
