IfALLOWELL.

Arrangements for the proper observance of
Memorial Day are nearly completed. In the
forenoon John B. Hubbard Post, G. A. R..
accompanied by the mayor and city council
and citizens generally, with the Hallow ell
cornet band will proceed to the cemetery,
where the veterans of the Grand Army will

Dennis +. Hagerty, who for the last few
years has been ticket agent at the M. C. R.
r. station here, and who has gained the re-
spect and friendship of the whole community,
was on Friday afternoon committed to the
Insane Asylum arrangement Of the mind
has been gradually growing on him, the
primary cause of which, was a partial sun
stroke received last summer, but within the
last week, aggravated by the news that his
brother, Daniel F. ,who was sick in Winthrop,
could not live, and who has since died, his
funeral being held on the came afternoon that
Dennis was committed to the asylum. This
double affection is severe blow to their
parents and sisters, who have our heartfelt
sympathy.
Rev. Americas Fuller, formerly pastor OF
the Congregational church here. will preach
in that church tomorrow, probably in the
evening.
The new bell of the Congregational church
was hoisted into the tower Thursday after

A large and appreciative audience was pre-
sent. Mr. Thompson is so well and favorably

most that can be said in his praise is that he
fully maintained the high reputation that he
has gained during the years that he has been

cunning editorial boost for G. b. Morton,
which bristles with false statements. 1t re-

two-thirds of all the legal voters of Augusta.
This is an absolute untruth. 1t is on the face
a fabrication and person who has seen the
petition states that if the Post had set the
number of signers at one-thrd of the voters
or less. it would have come very much nearer
the truth The Post, when it makes such

situated. about ono mile east OF Middle

form OF 7, with gothic and dormor win
dows and inansard roof, presenting quite
picturesque appearance. Fromthe time
he commenced the building misfortune
seemed to confront him, and finally his
health failed him. The property was
sold at administrators sale and pur-
chased by b. +. Leach and by him sold
to Mr.. Gus Melett. Mr.. Meiott moved
his father and mother into it q few days
