not dock your wool. unless it needs docking.
Fair dealing, and fair prices is his motto
Rev. E. II. Harvey, who delivered the
Memorial address at this village last year,
was the speaker at Bangor last Saturday.
The place that secures comrade Harvey's
services on such an occasion is fortunate and
its people sure of a rare intellectual treat.

village, and occupied the pulpit at the Pres
byterian church. His accomplished wife was
with him.
On Friday evening last, Mr.. Will c. LaRue
and his " Komical Komedy Kompany," which
is composed entirely of amateur talent, gave
cur people the most enjoyable entertain
ment of the season. The play was "Uncie
Josh, and Mr.. LaRue gave a very excellent
imitation of the old New England farmers
visit to the city. Frank Kelley as "old Cy
Prime" and T. S. Millington as the English
dude, could hardly have been bettered. W..
c. Mosier, as Tots drunken father, and Miss
Mae DYER as Tot" were true TO nature,
while Miss Rose Daveys conception of Mel
ly Primrose" and Miss Minnie Hodges por-
trayal of "Tilda" Uncle Joshua 5 maiden sister,
showed much native ability as well as good
training. Miss Maude Chaplin cleverly per-
sonated both Miss Cornell" and little Tot's
dying mother; Lynn Free also assumed the
double duties OF policeman ana sheriff in a
very dignifed manner; w. K. Sellick as the
Elder" appeared quite ministerial; w. l..
Miller escorted his old uncle around the
city with true Bostonian courtesy; and w.
A. Randall. as the basnful Reuben was
successful in displaying his usual fondness
for the fair sex. In fact, the "Komedy
Kompany' were voted great success by the
crowded house which greeted them, and
were declared far superior to the average
travelling troupe. The performance was re-
peated on Saturday evening, to a crowded
house.
