Notes From Former Resident of Els

Dear NJ. Editor =

| Dedr 4uf. Eduof -
1t is eight years since my home ceased
- he in Ellsworth, but not vet has my in
| terest in that eastern city ahated; every
| prosperity that comes to the home of my
| youth is noted with pleasure Nothing. it
seems to me, has changed for the better in
| Ellsworth during the eight years more
than the schools, particularly the High
| school. A. notice from time to time the
names of those who are being there fitted
| for the duties of life, | zee names of many
who are enjoying advantages which would
| hardly be theirs If Ellsworth did not boast
| just such school 1t is also to be 1emem-
| bcred that the efficient principal is one who
/ came to Ellsworth young in life that he
may almost be claimed rs native. Every
| citizen should feel justly proud of this
school and, Judging by past results, the
| pupils will compare favorably with those
sent from any other High school
As Editor ChiIcott notices the assertion
| of Kate Van Twinkle of the Lewiston
| Journal that Hon. Thad Simonton is the
/ 'i'iHN''i'~t hidh VI tiit idlilt ItSS iN~bfl-
| alton, and as the fact that he i "a >ix-foot-
err and vcr-lpoked is not comforting. his
| ruiilcd feelings NAV be soothed BY rcmem-
| bering that Lord Bacon said that Beauty.
| is as summer fruits. which are easy 10 cor
| rupt and cannot last" We trust Miss Van
| Twinkle will not make the Hon. Simpntnn
| too vain, for there are number Of fine
| looking men member, of this same Press
| Association.
