UNITY. Rev. II. L. Dodge having returned
from Northport there We're services Is usual
last Sunday. The attendance Wa quite
small, partly owing to heavy clouds and
storm not far away at about churel time.
Rev. Mr.. Dodge would be much encouraged
We're there a larger congregation each Sun
day. There seems to he great indifference
in regard to visiting the Lords house ON
Sundays when services are appointed, and

PROSPECT. Prospect Grange to the mum
Der of 10 visited Granite Grange at North
Searsport Tuesday evening Aug. 9Th. 1t
was pleasant evening and a pleasant drive
Granite Grange program was excellent, with
good music by the choir, reading, declslna-
lions and singing. Master A. S. Stinsou
OVerseer Frank Trundy and Brother Cur
It's and others favored the company with
songs, and everybody enjoyed the singing
Twelve O'Clock came TOO soon, as the pro-
gram seemed to have no end, for Curtis was
| ready and willing, and SO was Trundv,
the OVerseer, the Master and the organist.
But the masters gavel came down at II
o'clock. Surely that Grange is favored with
good singers. Comet Grange, Swanvile,
was represented and Mr.. Durham and wife
and others We're present from Monroe.
Misses Lizzie and Alice Norton, of Bangor
are visiting Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Haley. "A
deer came into the pasture of S. b. Little
| field and feeding along came near the house
and stayed about all the forenoon in the
pasture. 1t is probable the doe was near bv
as this was the buck. -. The farmers begin
to make up their political belief, and most
all will begin ON the side they left off on
But Prospect wants d rally, for some are not
certain yet, Some few don't hardly think
| they will risk that new Australian system
OF voting, but more courage is likely to come
as time rolls on. Tie Republican gain in
this town will be largely due to young and
new voters.
