Anusements.

There will be special afternoon skate at
the roller rink this afternoon. Good music.
grand entertainment skate is on the
taps to come of in Granite Hall next Satur-
day evening. Oct. 9Th. 1t will be conducted
BY the managers of the Novelty Roller Skat-
ing Rink.
Is it any wonder that theatrical companies
abhor Augusta? Here is THE World" for
instance, which is to be presented by the
Boston Theatre Co. in Granite Hall on Mon
day evening, in its own matchless manner.
The sale of tickets has been slow. If
our amusement going people will not pat
ronize first class companies they cannot be
expected to appear here. The managers of
the hall are already thinking of eanceling
their engagements and utilizing it for skat-
ing rink.

The Lewiston Journal SAYS IL is estimated
that the butter product of Maine the past
year has put into the pockets Of the farmers
of Maine a gross sum of 81, 500, 900. We
conversed recently with a representative
Maine dairyman in attendance at the Maine
State fair, who estimated that during the
past five years the quality of butter produced
in Maine had been advanced average
of % per cent. in selling value. Ii this est-
mate is true, Maine to-day because of the
creamery and because of the improved de-
vices Of butter making in this state, is get
ting for her butter product over $500. 900
more than she would if she were a slow
coach, going on in the old dull and unmeth-
odic way. The samples OF butter at the
State show we're illustrations. not only of
the progress of our Maine butter makers
in method. but in taste. Good looks have
a commercial value whether in horse
mower or in cake; but where we come
to that which we eat there is almost no
limit to the effect of the looks of things.
A package of butter neatly stamped, neat.
1y packed. is joy forever, or at least for
that essential part of forever-the several
dinners and suppers and breakfasts without
which there would be no occasion for be-
ing in the world at all or having any JOY.
Take a breakfast table with butter that is
fragrant the after of roses, and one is
glad he ever was born Make room, then,
for the creamery. 1t is a bonanza. Asso
cisted butter making is the next event in
Maine. Already Maine is shipping i'm
mense quantities of gilt edges to Boston,
Rhode Island and New York markets,
where fancy prices for fancy lots reward
our painstaking. The day is at hand when
the sun OF success in butter making will
rise only on the golden age of methodic and
artistic butter making.
