Ocean Park, the summer home of the
Freewill Baptists, is delightfully."- pleasant
resort, just below the main beach at Old Or
chard Possessed of all the features of this
great resort it still has an advantage of loca-
ton, which commends it to all; it is just far
enough away from the noise and confusion
to render it very comfortable. The people
who make the Park their home do not spend
the summer in idle pleasure, but devote
much time to many interesting and educat-
ing diversions. Chiefest among these is the
session of the Chautauqua Normal Union.
The session Of this summers school begins
July 24th and continues till August I'd, with
Rev. A. K. Dunning, ID. d., superintendent

A Business Change.

Another business change has occurred ON
Water street. Mr. Benjamin A. Piper has
sold his stock and fixtures to f. Z. Gage and
w. s. Soule, two well known young busi
ness men Of this city, who are and have been
for some time past in the employ of Phil
brook & Leighton. 1t is the intention of the
new proprietors to continue the business on
the present lines for few moths and then
change to line of dry goods. Both are
young men of high standing in the commu-
nifty and will doubles prove successful in
their new undertaking.
BY the retirement of Mr.. Piper Augusta
loses one of its best known and, in length of
service, oldest business men on Water street.
Mr.. Piper has been engaged in his present
line of business thirty-fve years the 18th day
of last August, entering into the work at that
time with his father, and while only boy.
He has continued in it ever since. During
the first sixteen or seventeen years of his
service. he was obliged to be at the store
while his father was at meals, and during
that time was only at the table with members
Of his family on Sundays and Thanksgiving
Days.
There 10 probably no business man in the
city who has made so long hours and seen
20 many years of continuous service as Mr..
Piper. For sixteen years he has not had
vacation and the closeness with which he
has applied himself to business is shown by
the fact that although horse has been kept
In his family he has not yet ever visited the
Soldiers Home at Togus.
Mr.. Piper has been man of the most
'crupulous integrity in all his business deal
ings. His word has always been found to
be as good As his bond. His health which
has been impaired somewhat by his long ser
vice compels him to seek a change and rest
Augusta will be sorry to lose Mr.. Piper from
It's business life, but all Of his fellow citizens
will unite in the hope that he may find the
change beneficial one.

oRANTIN @ DIVORCES.
Some Facts Regarding Separations in
our County.

OF late, throughout the country, there has
been considerable discussion in regard to the
granting of divorces, the number of cases
granted and the causes therefore. Judges
of prominence have contributed to magazines
articles relating thereto and have proposed
certain changes of law whose object has been
to make divorce more difficult. Others
have claimed that the too hasty and in,lis-
Greet marriages have been the principal
source of matrimonial discord and asserted
that revision of the marriage laws was de-
manded. In this state body Of gentlemen
have considering the subject and have en-
deavored to formulate some plan that carried
out would be a correction of this evil of So
cie,y, an evil the influence of which on the
young is incalculable. There is even
nov proposition under consideration for .
revision of both the marriage and the
divorce laws and the matter will
undoubtedly be discussed in some form
or other before the next legislature.
The importance of the matter is not per-
haps realized. In our own county the d.
vorces are too numerous. The number of
divorces granted in this county during 1887,
