PASSING OF MEDFORD RUM
“■pirit” af Old Marenchnaetta Taw»
Medford, It Is needless to say. Is a
place near Boston. Paul Revere rode
| “through Medford town" os his way to
arouse the countryside. Yet for over
js century, says the Springfield Repub
lican. the thing that has brought the
greatest fame to the place haa been
'th e Medford ram . I t Is quite within
our province ns chroniclers to call at
tention to two recent events of Im
portance In the history of the town.
The 27ith aantVersary of the first s e t
tleasent an the Mystic, where Medford
stands, was celebrated most fittingly
<m Thursday. D r WlUlam Rverett. of
Quincy, whose facility In the writing
of occasional verse Is not unknown to
a whole nation, recited a historical
poem whose concluding steaa nuda-
; dously reminds one o f the town’s most
celebrated ladsetry:
“W lu t swans “Old Medford“ to her
{
exiled tone?
W het dear, domestic dream t to want
and wandering through their vis
toe runs!
Close to their hearts • warming taste
of home .
They pralso perchance; they share
and feel,
Though from th e » mother Mg they
roam.
' •
'
H er spirit still is there."
- But, ns a matter of fact, her "Spirit"
haa departed. Medford rum is no j
more, save In a vary small and con
stantly diminishing quantify, for tha
firm that has made tt has decided to
close up the business and -withdraw
this redoubtable article of commerce
forever from the markets of tha world.
When the supply now In the bonded
warehouses Is sold. Medford’S chapter
in rum will ba ended, and the old
taunt that so distressed our orthodox
graadmothers about New England Bi
ble» and Medford rum going on the
same «hips to the ehstben will toes
both Its pertinence and Its sting.
