OF disslpated life, l trust ] may az an

speak. Sometimes IL seems as though
this town Of ours was hopelessly de-
PRAYED. But IL is not. We get into the
habit Of emphasizing its vicious aspects,
but there are purity and modesty TO be
found on every side, aud the fact that
women occasionally stand almost
naked on the stage should not be dis
couraging. The handspring OF life con-
tinues TO be virtue. These incidents
that / have mentioned above are mere
trivial blemishes upon metropolitan eI-
istence. The people Of the town are

Maine Savings Banks.

Savings Bank Examiner Written has
his annual report well along toward
completion. lie says that the showing
will be much better than Was at one
time to be anticipated. There were
three reasons operating to cause people
to withdraw funds during the recent
period of depression. Need of the funds
by families out of employment distrust,
and opportunity to loan at higher inter
est. These causes, of course, reduced
deposits considerably, but a change has
already commenced. Mr.. Written high
ly compliments the savings banks of
Maine for the sagacity and conserva-
tism of their management. He said that
he had yet to learn of deserving and
well-managed enterprise in the State
that has been unable in times of ordi-
nary business activity to secure as
sistance from the savings banks of
Maine. 1t should be borne in mind that
one-half of the fifty-three millions of
deposits are invested Ia this State
These banks are in Il sound condition.

Alexander Crawford.

Ripe in years, and blameless in life,
this honored resident of our town pas
sed to his reward on Thursday last,
March 22d in the nnetieth wear of his
age. He WAS born January =. 1905. and
was the son of Alexander Crawford
He was united in marriage, March p,
1881, to Miss Lovina Whittier of Corn
vile, and lived happily with her for six,
ty one years, until her death in March,
1892. There were six children by this
marriage, but the beloved mother and all
these children died before the summons
came for the husband and father. He
begun his married life on Hilton Hill,
Cornville. but in a few years moved to
the place which remained his residence
for the rest of his life. For some years
he was well known stage proprietor
and driver. He was on the route from
The Forks to Watervlle, and also from
this place to Bangor His upright deal
ing and unfailing courtesy made him
many friends both on the road and
among the travelling public. He became
a christian at an early age, and was a
member of the Baptist church in Corn
vile for many years. He united with
the First Baptist church in this place in
1873, and was the oldest member at
the time OF his dea'h. His devotion to
his church WAS evidenced by his attend
ance al the monthly conference in Jan
uary few days afterh he passed his eighty
ninth birthday. He was Il spiritually
minded man. and came to the end with an
mistaken trust in the verities of the
faith he had so long profcssed-Like
Barnabas of old, ''lIe was good man.
and full of the Holy Spirit" lie gave
one son to the war, xandcr, who was
in Co. X. u, and Co. G, 81, Me. Regis.
and who died in October last. The
funeral, which was largely attended,
took place on Sunday afternoon last,
and was conducted by Rev. c. V. Han

good name. and the community n shin

The Sugar Trust.

As precaution against tariff acct
dents the Sugar Trust is gathering in
large stocks of raw sugar. Special
steamers for this purpose have been
chartered from English, German and
Norwegian owners, and several ships of
the Southern Pacific Company are also
engaged in this service. Receipts last
week reached nearly $1,000 tons, an in
crease of $4,000 tons over the cores
ponding week of last year. 1t is said
that $4,000 tons are now ahoat between
the West Indies and United States ports.
If the Senate tariff bill passes with the
sugar duty of one cent or more it will
transfer millions of dollars from the
pockets of the people to the Golfers of
this Sugar Trust. This shows the re-
gard the Democratic party in Washing
ton has for the good of the people.

While to criticise the acts of a public

whatever for assailng a private indivd-
