the services, and was assisted by Rev. f,
Purvis of North Haven who preached
here in 1890 and 1891. The Island must
have its share of the summer visit
OTIS, for the hotels and cottages have
had all they could accommodate, and
still they come. The young people of the

entertainment at the Town Hall last Friday
evening. The program was very finely rem

enjoyed.
