We understand that four or five cot
| tages will be built during the fall and
| spring, on land which was purchased some
| time ago on Squlre's Hill; the founda-
| tions for two are nearly finished; and it is
| whispered that buildings are to be erected
| at Fountain Ia Val mineral springs before
| the next season.
Our young people are beginning to look
about for work during the coming six
| months. Otis Googins has gone to the
| neighborhood of Boston, Mass, where he
spent the last season and his wife and
| little daughter left for the same place last
Monday. Fred Cline has gone to Boston
where he will be employed as clerk in Wal
den Hastings store on Columbus Avenue
Others are going out of town as teachers,
while some are again intending to pursue
their studies n our normal schools and col
ieges
Rev. Mr.. Pratt who has occupied the
pulpit in the East Lamoine church for the
past three months has finished his engage
ment with the Unitarian, or Liberal Chris
tian Church, and has entered the Divinity
School, Harvard, Cambridge, Mass. This
was Mr.. Pratts first parish, and he leaves
with the best wishes of all with whom he
has associated, and the expressed hope
that he may return next season. He is q
young man of great promise. IN our esti

he will make his mark for good wherever

Mrs. Jane Googins, wife of Alanson
Googirs, has for some weeks past been a
great sufferer, requiring the services and
attendance of her physician. DIR. Hagerthy,
every two or three days besides the con
81 ant nfa hAn for hnr
speedy Improvement as she is beloved by
all her neighbors Mr.. Googins is far from
being restored to his general state of
health; he is suffering from complication
of diseases and he does not rally as fast as
he thinks he ought to. He spent an after
noon with us last week and although
feeble we think he is much better than he
was last spring. We all wish that both
may be restored to the enjoyment OF better
health and that soon.
Mr.. Pratt at his last church service paid
high tribute of praise to the women Of
this parish, for their perseverance in
completing the work on the parish church
and cemetery and 1t now devolves upon
the men to see the building of a new road
from the town road into the cemetery and
properly grading outside the fence They

During the season OF so-Called recrca-
ton, greater number OF our BOYS who
left our town 10 seek a place where there
WAS more elbow room. aud who are loCat-
ed In many States from Massachusetts to
Washington, have visited the home of
their childhood and youth. With good NOR
al training. good common school eduCa-
ton, grit and push, they represent our old
town and State worthily. When they re-
lax from business or profession they come
back home to spend vacation among early
scenes aud among old time mates. Many
