Bath's Big Auction Shifts 109 Dwellings to Buyers
Bath completes a government sale disposing of 109 dwellings and parcels of land for about 10060 dollars after commissions. Houses sold individually to many buyers, mostly for investment, with prices suggesting real estate caution but demand for dwellings remains. The sale drew buyers from across regions and signals Bath's housing potential and tax clarity. The event coincides with the retirement of George F Thompson and Frank N Thompson from Thompson Brothers Inc, a long trusted local firm. The incoming firm will keep the Thompson name and aims to preserve its reputation.

Former Bath Boy Loses by a Fire
Councilman Johnny Free returns Saturday morning from Ark where he passed Friday learning that Dr. William Freeman, a Bath native, lost nearly everything he owned in a fire. The blaze originated mysteriously at the Thompson stable, spreading to his house as villagers lacked reliable water. Firefighters and residents formed a bucket brigade to save the garage and Elmer Figgins’s house, while the Thompson homestead, long linked to Dr. W. S. Thompson, stood as a village landmark.
