New Gloucester.

The Fourth of July celebration, which
was to have been held on the fair grounds
at Upper Gloucester. and which was antic;-
pated with much pleasure, was of course a
failure on account of the bad weather. The
only feature which was carried out was the
base ball game between the Upper Glouces-
ter nine, and the Danville Junction nine.
In the afternoon quite good many people
| were on the grounds and amused themselves
by riding around the race-course and ex-
changing friendly greetings. AS this is
the first time for many years that any gen.
eral celebration has been attempted In town,
it was quite disappointment not to be able
to carry out the programme.
The village is very quiet THE schools are
closed, and there are only aNfew summer
boarders here as yet. The/ haying Season
having commenced, the farmers are all busy
at their own homes.
Mrs. Anbie +. Merrill and Miss Nav
Stevens have been spending week at Peaks
Island.
Field strawberries have been very plenty,
but are about gone now.

has improved wonderfully dnring the past
few weeks, but will not be quite up TO the
average of last season.
Ellsworth d Blake talk of building fac
tory for the manufacture of matches, here,
They have succeeded in producing very
fine quality of friction matches.
The fishing in Thompson's Pond is the
best for years. Large catches of black bass,
lake trout, and togue are reported. Fisher.
men from out of town are stopping at the
Chadbourne House, so popular with Port
land people as summer resort.
O.. +. Durrell esq. is erecting a new build
ing for Post Office.

semi-consciOus condition and carried to his
home on Church street and physician sum-

Facts Worth Knowing,

In all diseases of the nasal mucous membrane
the remedy used must be non-irritating. The
medical profession has been slow to learn this
Nothing satisfactory can be accomplished with
douches, snuffs, powders or syringes because
they are all Irritating, do not thoroughly reach
the affected surfaces and should be abandoned as
worse than failures. A multitude of persons who
had for years borne all the worry and pain that
catarrh can infict testify to radical cures wrought
by Ely'sCream Balm.
