EDITOR JOURNAL We said in our last that
farmers were happy on account OF good weather
and abundance of hay, but much hay was hurt in
the damp and fog, and much is to be cut, though
most now is on the marshes and along rivers called
"salt hay" Yet the abundant crop this year
compensates for loss and time. Barns are full.
None need want for berries this year in Warren.
Strawberries were plentiful, raspberries more
plentiful and blueberries are brought in by the
bushel, and still the supply is abundant. One
does not need to go far from home; in any place
where bush can be found there arc berries, and
often times they are gathered by the handful
Nature seems thus to compensate for the lack in
quantity of apples. Trees are lightly loaded.
Our manufacturing interests are looking up
The corporations accept the fact that the best
goods sell most readily and that to produce the
best they must have experienced and skilled
workmen, hence beth the Warren Woolen Mill
and Shoe Factory have recently employed new
Superintendents at good salaries. Mr.. Fred Watts

Saco, August II. Rev. N. D. Witham of Bid.

day, on a warrant charging him with interrupting
the campmeeting at Old Orchard, and with tress
pass. 1t seems that the trustees Of the camp
meeting association wanted to monopolize the
carriage of goods at the campground, and forbade
Witham to enter the grounds with his cart, as he
had done, but securing load of baggage, he car
ried it within the enclosure for delivery. Hence
his arrest His trial was adjourned over until
Thursday. The case exc,tes good deal of curl
osity and interest.

Newburg, August II. This afternoon Robert
Gibson, Assistant Superintendent of the Newburg
water works, attempted to murder Alfred Post, a
prominent resident of this city and President of
the Highland National Bank, by firing pistol at
him in the street. The bullet grazed Posts neck
and Gibson aimed for second shot, but in the
excitement failed to cock the weapon and it was
not discharged. Post got out of the way and
Gibson was secured and committed without bail.
Gibson and his wife have not lived on good terms
lately and she left him several times for short Pc
riods, alleging harsh treatment. Gibson charges
that Post had something to do with his wife's eav.
ing him. She was before her marriage employed
in Posts family as seamstress, and they style her
a very worthy woman.
