A HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY. If our readers
knew of the real merits of Renne's Magic Oil, We
are sure they would make place for it on their
sideboard or shelf at once. For burns, scalds,
sprains, colds, infamatory complaints, and in fact
nearly all the aches pains and ills that the human
frame is heir to- there is medicine sold that ex-
GELS, if it equals this popular pain reliever. VIM.
Renne is no quack. He is one of the first citizens
of Pittsfeld, Mass, and his reputation for integri
ty and perfect upns hit dealings III everything, is
one that he would never risk on an unworthy ar
tcle. We advise our readers to try Renne's
Magic OIL and il it does not prove equal 10 our as
sertion, hold us responsible.

k'armingdale Locals.

The weekly Sunday evening praise meetings in
augrated by the Farmingdale Centennial singers
has become quite = success drawing in
singers and lovers of music from all
about. On last Sabbath evening the first
religious services held in town in this gener-
alton, took place under their auspices at the town
hall. The Rev. Mr.. LeIacheur, pastor of the Me-
thodist church at Hallowel, conducted the servi-
ces to the great satisfaction of large audience.
He is = vehement and earnest speaker, and posses
sed of great talents Present among the singers,
were DR.. Halves leader ofthe old south choir at
Hallowell, the veteran Mark johnson who for
fortyseven years has led the choir at the Methodist
in the same place. Mr.. johnson leader of the
Methodist singers in Gardiner, and Mr.. Gardiner
leader Of the Universalist choir in the same city
and . large delegation Of singers and friends
from both cities. Such music has not been heard
for many years in Farmingdale. We are under
obligations to Methodist and Universalst friends
at Gardiner, for seats furnished. 1t is proposed
to continue these interesting services, inv ting the
different clergymen from the adjacent cities to
ofiiciate in turn. Miss Lorenzo Haincs, pastor of
the Universalist church in Hallowell, is the next
one invited to address the singers and friends.
Nothing has improved onr town more than the
removal of the old brick school house on Main St.
1t opens up glorious view of the river from the
road, and as long as the present owner
lives where he does, nothing will ever be built
there. There is nothing for his large heartedness
and public spiritedness left to do except it should
be to lay the grounds out into beautiful park for
our people to promenade in.
The Kennebcc Ice Co. bids fair to be big thing.
Mr.. James F. Chceseman of this town, the veter-
ice king, is one Of the principal men in it, and
no one denies his ability in managing the sale of
ice. Mr.. Arthur Berry of Gardiner and Frank
Page of Hallowell, are with him, and backed up
by such men as are on the New York list it can
hardly fail togo.
