Notes From The Bend.

And still looming up-a noble rain, veyular root soaker-visited us Saturday night. It was acceptable, although we were not suffering.
 If seemed to the writer that Sunday was the closest. sultriest day of the season The dog laid in the shade all day and panted. We could find no air stirring any place. But hot as it is let everybody stlr around and watch his fences. Don't let your fence get down and then go tearing around feeling mad at your neighbor be- cause his hogs get in your field. Watch your fence, fix your fence, and above all, keep your temper.
 Now as to our monster barbecue: we always have success in that line and this time we are going to excel all for mer efforts, and have arranged to provide double the quantity of provisions and meats that we have ever done before, and we don't want to have any of 1t left to throw away. There is no use talking. we are going to lay everything else of the kind in the shade, and if you are not here to enjoy it you can blame no one but you. self. as you are invited. Your chll- dren are invited your friends are invited. The people of Widener and Burnt Cane set dement's can't allow any one to treat them better than they treat others. We feel In good spirits because we have the finest crops in the county, and we feel like hold ing out both hands to those who come to visit us. Cross the Free Ferry at Madi- son. and not quite mile up the river bank. and in sight of Madison, take the right hand road at the lower corner of the Hasley place, due east. In all, only 2I miles from Madison to the barbecue. Come early and stay late. and remember the daie is Thursday Aug 23 The writer voices the sentiment of The people over here in assuring you the heartiest of welcomes. Some people say they always ,rke little private dinner along in the bug gy when they go to barbecue so they are sure not to go hungry. But kind visitor don't do that in coming here. You don't need to concern yourself about dinner when you come to our barbecue; We will look ont for that, will have plenty. and that of the best. J. Ii.

From Wheatley.

Saturday morning as the sun strOlied out on its daily journey, the people of Wheatiey were alarmed by heavy tread of horses, as was heard by our forefathers from the Black Horse Cavalry" but after discovering 1t to be only the roar of car riage wheels. bound for the bayou. some were persuaded to join the crowd, to the delight of everybody; however. some could not be induced to go. which to all was very great disappo ntment.
 At the approaching moments of eleven the crowd found anchorage on the north bank of the historic bayou DeView, where they found axaiting their arrival lots or fish in deep water. However the depths of the water did not hinder the progress after the cold -blooded brain food, and within few minutes heaps of fish were seen scattered here and there. But in very short time all were in one pile. while quite crowd of specialists encircled them It need not be said that ample jus tice was done to the phosphorus contained
 in the dinner. and much praise went up in behalf of the cooks.
 No tune had yet been spent in idleness, but during the rest of the sultry day there was no rustling among the lofty pines, but out on the surface of the smooth brooks many boats glded to and fro,
 laden with precious diamonds which could only be gotten from the crowd as prize for the walker. This was won by the son of the right hand, who seeing that his jewels were in danger cried out s'by this craft we have our wealth. but as you had power to convince the Ephesians of the unrealty of Diana. your remoluments. if you will scoll me home, shall be my diamond"
 Muc, to the love and joy of every bodylas the sun passed its zenith and sank behind the western horizon. the crowd was again seen returning, and after short rehearsal. which is necessary after such occasions, and as the day put on his jacket and around his burning bosom buttoned 1t with stars, the same crowd was again seen emerging toward the residence of MT. l. Goldberg, where they remained until they were startled by the self-same voice of the fowl that startled the penitent Peter. But as the lightning flashed, the thnnders roared. the floods descended, and not un- til the canticlier had uttered his oft and repeated herald of the coming dawn. did the notes of Home Sweet Home," sad but sweet remined them that the happiest occasion of the season was ended.

water was used the boiler was replenished.
This evidently hadn't been left in proper
condition the night before and the whole
head of Sebago forced it's way into the boil

Mr.. Hall said that it would be difficult to
estimate the loss, but it must be between
$4,000 and $1,000.
The building belongs to James and Henry

agreement that, in case of damage by
water, the owners should be responsible
only for the damage to the building while

their property.
The loss on the building is estimated at
about $1,000. There was no insurance against
