the deceased it should have read, the oldest
daughter of William and Annis Elwell, in
stead of Drnkwater.

wsp brooms, are playing very important
part about this time in the dwellings of the

head of the house realize that sudden
Spring is upon him.

MIR. Edward Rhodes and Mr. Charles Fro
hook of Rockland occupied the pulpit Of the
Baptist church last Sunday afternoon and
evening. Mr.. Rhodes was formerly of this
town, but went to Rockland several years
ago. While drilling ont an old blast a few
years ago in the lime quarry it exploded and
he was terribly injured, losing one hand,
both eyes and d little finger on the right
hand. He is very good speaker and those
of his faith We're well pleased with his re-
marks. Mr.. Frohock leads in the singing.
Last week a year-old heifer owned by Mr.,
0. w Chapman went on a round of discov-
cry while loose in the barn, running her
nose into pals, tin pans, barrels and other
barn furniture. A little green box finally
attracted her attention. 1t was on a beam
and She managed to knock it off and as it
struck the floor she Immediately began to
eat the contents. 1t was more than she
of too liberal dose of Paris green. She
had the promise of making splendid COW
and Mr. G. naturally feels little greved
over his loss.
Mr.. Hudson Brown has secured the agency
of the Parr Washing Machine and is now
canvassing the town for its sale. He is
meeting with good success. Mr.. B. will call
at every house prepared to do the washing
can see exactly how well it does the work
So quickly and neatly is the washing done
that the ladies are eated over it, and he is
sure to leave with an order in his pocket. 1t
is truly splendid machine, and saves a
| tremendous amount of labor besides a null
as parboied hands and blistered fingers
from scrubbing on an old rickety scratchy,
washbo ard.
