Wednesday of last week might well
have been called ellsworth Day" in the
State legislature. Representative Hamin
presented three documents relating to
municipal governmental petition to
allow the city to return to a town form of

of the State college at Orono.
The large new camp of Hon. Frank
Jones at Tunk Lake, recently built to re-
place the one burned last year, will be
dedicated with appropriate ceremonies
the latter part of this week. DR.. w. M.
Haines and A. |. Saunders of this city have
received invitations from Mr.. Jones to
become his guests for a week fishing, and
they will probably accept. DIR. Haines will
probably be absent for few days the
latter part of this week and the first of

Supervisor of Schools Lord, in the High
School Recorder, says: cone of the things
which our schools badly need is definite
course of study for the ungraded schools.
Such course the supervisor is now at
work upon, and hopes to present in time
for it to go into operation next spring.
1t will, no doubt take long time to per-
feet the working of any regular course,
but it has been done in other places and
consequently can be done here, and no
one disputes that the efficiency of the
schools is thereby greatly increased. y
B. T. Sowle has returned from trip to
Orrngton, where he has been with view
to ascertaining he opinion of the farmers
of that locality in relation to the cream
cry He reports that the farmers and
business men of that vicinity are unani-
nous in their expressions of praise for
the creamery. They are enthusiastic over
it, and say that the establishment of the
creamery there WAS the best thing that
ever happened for the town, and particu-
larly for the farmers. They have found
it the most profitable thing they have yet
engaged in.
