stand at the door and knock; if any man bear
my voice, and open the door. will come in to
him and sup with him, and he with mt"
Subject-God's willingness to forgive. He no
ticed the aids that God had thrown out in the
way for the sinner and the unlimited invitation
He has given, ''If any man hear my voice. %
No matter how sinful, though your sins bs as
scarlet" &c., He comes and knocks at the sim
ner's heart, through enlightment Hs operates on
hisconscieDce and the voice of conscience is the

HARRINGTON, Nov. %.
Looking back over past years we fnd that
many times has been recorded the fact that
the above, date (Nov. 23) has found good
seighing in this county; but at the present
writing scarcely any is to be seen excepting in
the northern portion, and wheels are used
wholly.
lounoervier made his appearance in
Phillips village one evening last week, causing
no little excitement and alarm.
Daniel Hoar of Rangely has raised the past
year 625 bushels Of oats and IS bushels of
wheat; Warren WILDER and Frank Philbrck of
the the same town raised 16O bushels of oats
on IL acres of new land. Talk about going
West!
N. B. Beal of Phillips has been making
money raising. cattle for city markets.
Although inclined towards the Greenback
doctrine, he does not believe in shrinkages of
his steers, judging by the following figures
given the Photograph man: Twenty-seven
head of cattle, wintered on straw, and
1919 including purchase price. These same
cattle, when sold, brought Mr.. Beal $3.50,
giving him 1901 for the straw fed them, -Four
head bought for $44, sold for 500; 2 at S25.
$45; 2 at 800, $65; 2 at 1928, $55; at A, sos; Z
at $40, $50; 2 at SIS, $35; at $40, $40: 3 at
$40, $50; 5 heifers at 1858, sold for $780,
Messrs. Hiram Holt & Co., of East Wilton
will manufacture about 200 dozen hay knives

village The work will requiIe some twenty
tons of cast steel.
The Chronicle is to be enlarged the first
number in January, in spite Of the ''chronic
hard times" cry.
The Phonograph recently started in Phillips
is prospecting finely.
The enthusiasm over the proposed railroad
from tLis place to Phillips does not appear to
bs so intense just now as in days asst, and
opinions are given pro and con its final con-
ception. All are agreed as to its usefulness,
but money for the same comes hard

A YOUNG THIEF.-Saturday forenoon Mrs.
Joseph A. Locke had her pocket book contain
ing ten dollars. which she had just laid down
on the sill of one of the windows Of the Old
Curiosity Shop at the Carnival, stolen. 1t
afterwards transpired that it had been stolen
by seven year old boy who had been spurred
on to it By some older boys than himself, who
were very willing to ''divy" the ''chink' after
he had got it. The pocket book was recovered
and the money will proba bly, b. returned. No
arrests were made.

BATH LOCALS.

Arthur Sewall and others have petitioned the
city authorities for permission to extend the
tracK OF the Maine Central through CONNER
cial street. This is to accommodate shippers
ana merchants and do away with trucking.

brlcklayers is engaged in laying new side.

OF Centre and Front streets
Last Monday night the Star of the East lost
Its hrst trip of the season.
Ihe inward bound freight train Friday
morning numbered thirteen cars. AS we
waited at the Centre street crossing with twenty
others it seemed an excellent idea to have
Hagman at this busy locality that the present
snall-llke progress of the trains may be accsler-
ated.
Inc gross receipts at the Mother Goose Re-
ception last Wednesday night amounted to
about one hundred and forty dollars. This
society is one of the most successful and enter
prising in the city.
The numerous physicians in town are agreed
upon one thing that the season has been an I'M
usually healthy one for Bath. Perhaps this
is due quite as much to the hard times and
consequent lessened calls for medicine as to the
salubriousness Of the PERIOD" an anti-medical
man remarks.
The Hatch House is rapidly nearing a re.

Very high tides Saturday morning. Com
mercial street aud adjoining wharves were
flowed and the Knox & Lincoln railroad wharf
in Woolwicb, nearly submerged. Men and
boys were busy on the river picking up logs
and driftwood. One enterprising boatm an
landed at Mr.. B. w. Hathorn's, on Ferry
street, his live stock at the store door.
Mr.. James T. Patten is soon, with his family,
to leave this city for New York.
Tramps haven't been plenty during the
damp spell. Possibly that Canada lion has
frightened them from this locality.
The Patten Association has removed from its
old quarters on Washington street, to the old
band hall over Mr.. Charles B. Lemont's cloth
ing store. The new room is nicely furnished
and it is hoped that success will be with them
in their new home. Recently, however, their
appears to have been some trouble as to the
management, and few members have with
drawn from the association. The club might
exert great benefit among the young business
men of this city, and it is to be hoped the un-
fortunate "splt'' will be but temporary.

UNKNowN.-Ths evening Mr.. John A.
Stevens appears at the Portland Theatre in his
own play, unknown" 1t has been described
as play of great beauty in movement and
plot, the narrative bold and novel, the motives
clearly and sharply apparent, the dialogue
crisp and brilliant, the situations strong and
striking. Mr. Stevens is forcible yet natural
actor, of robust method, portraying out
bursts Of passion with fine virility. In "Har-
old, the Unknown" he finds an admirable op-
portupity for the display Of his talent. The
company supporting him is carefully selected
and thoroughly schooled. Much scenery has
been brought for the proper setting of the
tableaux in which the play abounds. This is
the cast:

past Carnival week, remain until after the

friends of the the fraternity will see to it that
the opening night is successful one.

DRUNKEN STUFF,

How many children and women are slowly
and surely dying, or rather being killed. by ex-
cessive doctoring, or the daily use of some
drunken stuff called medicine, that no one
knowns what it is made Of, who can easily be
cured and saved by Hop Bitters, made of Hope,
Buchu, Mandrake, Dandeliop, &C., which is so
pure, simple and harmless that the most frail
woman, weakest invalid or smallest child can
trust in them. Will you be saved by them?

Next comes District Attorneys. who are not sufficiently fat to elicit much interest, and are allowed tArun the race without hindrancc. The Congressional pot is beginning to simmer. Iha candidates have the Little Red River fever. K. s. Woolsey ia feeding that way. ]. G. Campbell is also vending his way to the promising land, A. E. Davis ana 1T. z. Stevens, with spur and whip, bringing up the rear. Each man has his admirers and packers who contend that Their particu lar candidate will be the victorious one, but it is apparent that had A. [. Davis entered into the race in season would have diStanccd the field. The pedigree of each IS being overhaule,i, and reminds me of the question put by an Ohio asspirant to lecis iative hoaors to his wife: "Di ! y0u ever do anything you are ashamed of?
 "Why do you asl; that questinn Z"
 'Bccause I am about running for the Legislature. and if you have done anything to he ashamed of won't run"
