Welliver, proprietor of the Ideal Theatre, is giving theatre goers some splendid moving picture plays, and the high quality is fully appreciated, judging from remarks heard. “The Eyes of the world” delighted many last week and an equally fine feature is promised for nest week when “Ramona” will be presented—a story in which history and romance is charmingly blended, in fact it is spoken of as “The sweetest love story ever told.”

Brooklyn – The presentation of “Shavings,” in the Universalist Church, Thanksgiving night, was thoroughly enjoyed by an appreciative audience.

ALSO Lodowick Bailey was born on Nov. 25, 1831, on the farm that his father bought in 1818, and died there on Nov. 22, 1920. Thus he enjoyed nearly 89 years of life in this world. Brooklyn township has many records which are object lessons, but none more striking than the history of the three Bailey brothers who came to Brooklyn from Groton, Connecticut. Captain Amos Bailey, the elder, came in 1801. He voted for Thomas Jefferson in 1804 and bought a fine farm east of town, where he lived the remainder of his lie, and when he died, Nov. 9, 1865, aged 88 years, his son then resided on the farm until his death, when the grandson, W. P. Bailey, lived there until his death, and now the farm, after a lapse of 119 years, is owned by his great granddaughter, Mrs. Fred Bennett. The next brother was Col. Frederick Bailey, who came in 1807 and bought a farm of about 400 acres from his brother. For nearly 30 years, from 1823 to 1851, he was treasurer and superintendent of the Milford and Owego turnpike. His son, Henry L. Bailey, kept the old homestead and the farm until he died, July 4, 1898. It is now owned by the granddaughter of Col. Bailey, Mrs. Annie Palmer. The last to come was Lodowick Bailey, Sr. who bought the farm now owned by his grandson in 1818, so that all these farms have been in the families of the brothers for over 100 years.
