Gazette 1905 - 1909 Index: Middleboro Gazette 1905 - 1909 Introduction The Middleboro Gazette Index, 1905 - 1909 is a guide to the information contained within the Middleboro Gazette during the period January 1905 through December 1909. The information is as it appears in the newspaper and no attempt has been made to verify that the information given in the newspaper is accurate. The focus of the index is on the communities of Middleboro and Lakeville, Massachusetts. News from outside these geographic areas is included only if there is a direct link to these towns, i.e., Phineas T. Barnum and the Little People. Special notations are used within the index to designate editorials (e), letters (l), tables (t), photographs (p) and illustrations (i). Authors of editorials or letters are cited either within the headline or in parentheses immediately following either (e) or (l). The often informal nature of reporting presents special challenges to researchers. Additional information about specific businesses, town departments or other concerns can be located under general headines, i.e., Railroads, Streets, etc. Names are a particular challenge in a compilation of this kind. Multiple spellings, misspellings and incomplete names are just a few of the hurdles that must be overcome in order to glean every bit of information contained within the pages of the Gazette. For example, Mr. Elnathan W. Wilbur may be cited as any or all of the following: Wilbur, Elnathan W. Wilbur, Elnathan Wilbur, E.W. Wilbur, E. Wilbur (Mr) Wilbur (Captain) Mr. Wilbur’s last name may also be spelled, Wilbor, Wilber, Wilbour or Wilbur. In addition married women were also frequently cited as Mrs. Elnathan Wilbur or simply Mrs. Wilbur. It is advantageous for the researcher to take a broad view when conducting research on individuals. It is my hope that the Middleboro Gazette Index, 1905 - 1909 will provide a lasting resource for people researching the history of Middleboro and Lakeville, Massachusetts.

The U.S. Customs Service conducted its business by designating collection districts. Each district had a headquarters port with a customhouse and a collector of customs, the chief officer of the district. An act of March 2, 1819 (3 Stat. 489) required the captain or master of a vessel arriving at a port in the United States or any of its territories from a foreign country to submit a list of passengers to the collector of customs.

  • The Behavior and Habits
    THE BEHAVIOR AND HABITS of LARGEMOUTH BASS By William K. Johnke Published by Dorbil Publishing Co. Uniondale, NY October 1995, First Edition Copyright (c) 1995 by W.K.Johnke All rights reserved ***I N T R O D U C T I O N *** The Largemouth Bass is America's all­out favorite game fish ! It is probably the most glamorous species in the fresh waters of the world today. The largemouth is fundamentally a lake fish, and that is where it colonizes best. It is not a scavenger, it is strictly predaceous! It is not fussy about food. "If it moves, eat it!" is a kind of motto of the species. Passionate pleasures are derived from the enticing and ensnaring this voracious largemouth bass. Enticing a bass to accept a lure is pleasure in itself, but finding where such bass may be at any given time is the greatest challenge of all! In order to assist finicky fishermen to become more successful at catching bass, an in­depth scrutiny of highly regarded and well known literature on bass and bass angling was undertaken. The ensuing outline of bass behavior traits summarizes the noteworthy factors pertaining to this fish. Giving serious thought to and applying the factors outlined herein should lead to a better understanding and appreciation of its life cycle, its behavioral patterns, and how best to entice it to strike. We bass fishermen today are fortunate that our predecessors in their wisdom saw fit to introduce this species of fish into waters far beyond its natural habitat. Largemouth bass are now to be found extensively in "warm" freshwaters around the world.

  • Barn Fires Involving Farm Animals Accidents Involving Farm Animals Can Be Reduced Through Awareness and Education
    EMERGENCY FACT SHEET Barn fires involving farm animals Accidents involving farm animals can be reduced through awareness and education. Barn fires are one of the more challenging structure fires for first responders. Arriving at a barn fire with farm animals presents unique challenges. One of the most difficult parts of barn fires for owners and first responders is the smells and sounds that occur when animals are involved, especially pig barn fires. Barn fires have the potential for loss of thousands of animals. Prepare yourself and your team. Many first responders are not familiar with barn design or animal handling, making the scene even more dangerous and challenging then a typical structure fire. By educating your department on what to expect at a barn fire and giving them some basic guidelines, you will be able to more effectively respond to a barn fire and keep your crew safer. Barns are highly flammable buildings that go up quickly and burn fast. It only takes three to four minutes of the fire starting for the barn to be completely filled with smoke.A barn will be completely engulfed in less than six minutes. The vast majority of barn fires occur late at night or early morning hours, often going undetected until flames are showing. They rarely have smoke detectors or sprinkler systems installed. Due to the locations of barns in rural areas, by the time the fire department arrives, the barn is quite often fully involved. Upon arrival, water is often limited as there may not be access to fire hydrants. Animals are often housed as groups in pens or individuals in stalling.

While editing the book for her I thought, I need to provide this to TheHorse.com readers immediately!” See the checklist at the bottom of this post and please share it with others in your community. Barn-fire prevention requires a strategy like no other. You must be able to detect a fire with good quality smoke/flame/heat detectors; alert the response system; surpress the flame threat (usually via sprinklers); and of course have a response such as the fire department arrive. Sprinklers are something that the fire department strongly recommends. NFPA 150 is the Standard for Animal Housing Facilities (including horse barns) and is very specific about recommendations for sprinklers. Yet I know of very few barns that have them. Why don’t horse barns have this crucial safety equipment as standard items? My opinion is that it is because veterinarians and fire department personnel are the very last experts to be consulted by horse people when they build a barn! They use the expertise and advice of their next door neighbor, the Internet, a $10 barn building book at the local home improvement store, or engineer the entire thing themselves depending on the code enforcement in their jurisdiction.
