The City Election.

Much interest attached to the city cleo
ton last Monday The vote thrown was
unusually large The result was not what
we hoped for and expected. Mr.. Higgins,
Democrat, is elected mayor by very
small margin over Mayor Norris.
Mayor Norris has reason to be proud OF
the very handsome Endorsement he re-
ceved in the city proper. His vote in
wards /, and was large and very fiat
tering to him as a man and an official. 1t
was wards 3 and which defeated him,
and for reasons which had nowhere to
live except in an excited and morbid
Imagination. Some OF the residents of
those wards tried and condemned him for
matters over which he had no control and
for which he was in nowise responsible.
Mayor Norris large and handsome vote
was entirely voluntary on the part of those
who threw it.
Mayor Higgins is a smart active bust
ness man and though he is in a minority,
politically, we have no doubt that he will
be on the best of terms with the Republi-
can board of aldermen and that all will
use their best endeavors to have the city
government carefully, successfully and
economically administered.

feel that | must say 3 word to the
noble women of Ellsworth who are ever
foremost in all good work. A. there is an
effort being made IN your city to organize
society TO assist men TO take the kee!ey
treatment, thus freeing them from the ter
riDle chains Of rum, beg Of you not to ne
glect an opportunity Of being one of the
charter members Of that society. Remem-
Der that liquor Is no specter Of persons,
that i would make a wreck Of your hus-
band Or mine a, quickly as of some poor
unlOyed outca-t. Remember that if your
son or mine tamper, with the wine cup il
will make them drunksrds As quickly and
a. surely a. any Remember that every
unfortunate is some mothers son and let
u all DO our part in the good work.
wish | could see every drinking man 90 TO
North CONWAY and receive the Kelley
treatment. for | believe that they are there
assisted in every way to regain their lost
manhood. But that the next generation
may not be cursed by rum a. the past and
present generations have been, do let Us
emphasize The fact that the years spent
slave To rum are wasted years. Remember,
young men and young women, that though
your mothers tears may be dried by your
taking he keeley treatment though your
W fe', agouies may be lessened by your
taking the heeley treatment, the years
spent in debauchery are wasted years and
can never be recalled. Impress upon the
Young that it is far better to never need
the Kelley treatment than to need and take
the same.
This moment q Kelley graduate has left
my house telling me that there is no price
he would not pay if he could recall the
wasted years Of his life, wasted by drink
ing. With this man was poor specimen
Of humanity who came to me for our
keeley Aid Society to send him TO North
Conway. Ny boys looked on and it does
seem a. though the sight of such wrecks
Of humanity must be warnings to the ris-
ing generation to steer clear of the sa-
looms. but they have not been in the past
and fear Will not be III the future, Moth
ing shows the self couceit of the human
family like the liquor habit for every man
thinks he can beat the liquor, no matter
how many have been beaten by ii before,
but each one finds that it .biteth like a
serpent and stiDgeth like an adder" know
that the ladies of Ellsworth will do all
they can to lessen rum drinking and l wish
you much success.

Who Shall Supply Our Home Markets

II can raise on my land in Massachu-

ago, $40 or $50 worth Of strawberries,
a. cheaply and easily As | can raise ton
of hay on The same land" This gentle
man was a native Of Hancock county and
knows all about it, soil and of what II is
capable, He was decidedly of the opinion
that what is true OF Mas sschusetts land is
also true Of much Of the arabic land in
Hancock county.
Since the gentleman made this CONVEX
sstion We have thought much Of what he
said. II Strawberries to the value OF ESQ

easily a. = ton Of hay can be raised, II

~ TO their advantage to engage in straw
berry culture and the growing OF horticul-
tural products generally There is great
demand for product, Ike these during the
entire summer, especially during the
pleasure season.
The consumption Of strawberries in this
county amounts to thousands of dollars
every year; and nearly all Of these straw
berrie. come from out OF the state, when
they might be raised st home Just as well!
The wants Of the Bar Harbor market are
growing every year, and it is for the PEG
pie of Hancock county to decide whether
the benefits of supplying that market shall
come to them or whether those benefits
shall 60 out of the state
It Is a good time now for Hancock
farmers and horticulturists TO debate that
question in their own minds. The season
of >eedtime will soon be upon Us, and un-
less there Shall be a-owing, no welcome
