We are sorry to take from Mount Desert
the honor of having the most forgetful
man, but We think Surry is ahead, for we
know of a man here who took his wife to
your city to attend lecture in the even
ing while he attended lodge of an order
where ladies never go, she to wait at ho-
tel for him, which she did patiently until
midnight. thinking work of the order kept
him, when he drove up from an opposite
direction from which she was expecting
him. On inquiry it was found he had
been home and after getting there thought
of the wife of his bosom whom he had
forgotten for the time and hastened to her
begging her not to scold.
One of the pleasantest gatherings of the

and speeches, the most notable ones being
those of our agent, II. n. Treworgy, as he
accepted the flag in behalf of the district,
and of our new supervisor, Frank Jellison,
in behalf of the town. As 1t is a temper
ance flag, we had one temperance speech.
We had drums and bugle notes and the
firing of forty-four guns. one for each
state. II was an afternoon long to be re-
membered by the children; it Is the first
