Rev. Mr.. Kellogg prefaced the reg
ular discourse at the Cong'l church
on Sunday morning with an inter-
esting talk to the children, a part OF
parish work, for which he seems to
have peculiar gift. The morning
service was by Rev. J. j. Lewis OF
Boston. .'"
Rev. Mr.. Nanton in a practically

urged his hearers and members to
give less room for electricity and
water in their hearts and minds, and
more room for the grace of God, ana
more attention to'the social meetings
and the general needs of the church.
"Our Paper" a very attractive
little sheet, has just been published
by the Christian Endeavorers of the
Cong'l church, under the supervision
of Rev. Mr.. Kellogg. The paper con-
tains several short articles relative
to different branches of the church
work by different contributors; also
brief letters from some former pas
tors, from the children, etc.
Next Sunday will bring to close
Rev. F. b. Kellogg's three months
engagement as supply at the Cong'l
church and special services are to be
held in that connection. Mr.. Kellogg
has, during his brief sojourn in Nor
risville, very rapidly but soundly
reached high position in the friend
ship and esteem of all who have met
him personally or listened to him in
the pulpit.
Matters concerning the granite cut
ting industry have been slightly over
weighted by the electric and water
questions in the past few days, but
the matter is taking shape and the

tracing and building are negotiat-
ing with parties who are expected to
close up matters, and next week will
probably see a definite conclusion
and the beginning of work upon the
plant.
The annual Fair opened up yester
day morning with good weather and

tests will also be pleasing events of
both days. The Waterville Band is
on hand, clothed in new uniform and
