A party was given to Miss Helen Davis,
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. II. +. Davis,
Tuesday evening, the thirteenth ami
versary OF her birthday. A small party
OF her young friends were present. The
affair was surprise, the arrangements
having been made by her sister Muriel.
1t was also the anniversary OF the birth
day OF her grandmother, Mrs. G. S. Cook,
who was present.
The retiring superintendent OF schools,
f. w. Lord, on Tuesday turned over the
keys to his successor, Hoyt A. Moore.
The new superintendent needs no further
introduction or recommendation to the
people OF Ellsworth than THE AMERICAN
has already given. He assumes the
duties with the best wishes OF the people,
and will undoubtedly receive the CO.
operation of the teachers and pupils in
maintaining the present high standard Of
the Ellsworth schools.
II Deputy Sheriff James T. Cushman, OF
Ellsworth, is ready to enter the field as
professional tax collector, some town or
city had better fasten on to him at once,
before he gets away. The county COM
missioners of Hancock committed the
plantation tax to him for collection some
time ago. The whole amount OF commit
ment was s219.36. Mr.. Cushmans ac-
counts show that Of this amount he has
collected all but 13 cents, and the tax
payer who owes that small amount can
not be found.-Bangor Commercial.

He is a beautifullyga gated, leyel-headed
trotter, does not pull or shy, and taken all

West Trenton had one citizen of whom
she is not proud-John Z. McCue, wife
beater. Mrs. McCue, with her face
horribly bruised appeared before the
authorities for a warrant for her hus-
bands arrest, for assault. Her face told
the story more forcibly than words could
The assault was committed on Thursday
OF last week. McCue was arraigned be-
fore Judge Dutton. He escaped with
fine and costs, amounting to 5000. In
the opinion of those who heard the
evidence, the punishment hardly fits the
crime
