We are glad to learn that some of our
people who SO thoroughly enjoyed the
sweet music of the Albion Male Quar-

to arrange a visit here again, after the
holidays. Mr.. Bartlett is great favor
lite in Skowhegan and Somerset county,
and is with company every member of
which, including the reader, is a first
class artist.
Walter F. Robbins, jeweler, receives
many compliments upon the fine stock of
goods he is exhibiting at this holiday
season. The running off of much of his
old stock at auction in October, enabled
! him to put in the latest in novelties for
the holiday season of 1895, and che wis
dom of such a sale is now apparent to
all. Novelties in the jewelry line are
surprisingly low priced this season.
There will be something new next

last year will not wish to miss this. A
/ climax to that entertainment. Christ
Tuesday afternoon.
Encouraged by many ladies' that there
was demand in Skowhegan for many
| Christmas novelties not heretofore carried
outside the larger cities, w. Ii. Wildes
this season resolved to try the experiment
of putting in choice stock. The formal
opening of the same was held on Satur-
day last. Kendall's full orchestra Civ
ing delightful concert during the after
noon hours. The commodious store
wore most becoming holiday aspect
throughout, and the success of Mr..
Wildes' new departure was easily ap-
parent At one time there were nearly
$50 ladies present.
The many good cooks of skowhegan
have received much advertising from
the cook books previously issued by
different societies in town, yet we feel
that the fine book of useful, reliable and
common-sense cooking recipes recently
compiled by the Ladies Aid Society of
the First Baptist Society will, after be-
ing tried and tested, stand well up to
the head of the column. This new book,
beside being handsomely printed, on
good paper and enclosed in substantial
covers, has in its arrangement much
else to commend it, and containing as it
does nearly one hundred pages, many
will wonder how such book can be sold
