quite large party went from here to
Browns Corner schoolhouse last Friday
evening to hear the Belfast kindergarten
silver orators. Mr. W. B. Ferguson, sum-
mer resident here, was with the Northport
party and was called upon after the boys
mad closed. In very quiet way he played
with the orators and their arguments much
as skilful angler plays with trout, and
finally landed them toundering on terra
irma. One of the party has sent us re-
port OF the meeting in verse. We can only
md room for the two closing verses. After
telling how Mr.. Ferguson laid out the boy
orators the writer continues;
Now in regard to color,
think the audience knew
That White was nearer shade of green
And Brown a shade of blue.
Though the meeting called for Silver
L think it turned out for Gold
For think the story by Ferguson
Was much the better told.
