Bangor in the steamer Rockland Wednes-
day afternoon, Dec. I'd, and fell from the
gang plank as she was leaving the steamer
at the wharf She was quickly taken from
the water and conveyed to the Bangor
House, and it is thought that no serious re-
suits will follow her icy bath The steam
boat officials say that she turned to speak to
her daughter and stumbled on the plank
cunning accident occurred near this city
Sunday. Two young men We're cunning in
company, and We're a short distance apart,
when one fired at what he thought was
rabbit. 1t was rabbit, but it was dead
one in the hands of his companion The
charge of small shot lodged in the tleshv
part of the leg of the young man, making
painful, but not dangerous wound Ernest
Sprague fell from the peak of the First Bap-
fist church at North Islesboro recently, and
broke two ribs, knocked out several teeth
aud was badly bruised and shaken up.
Henry Mason broke through the ice near
his house IN East Belfast last Friday, and
rescued by his daughter, Mrs. D. T.

PATRoNIzE HOME MERCHANTS. This is
the caption of a recent editorial in The Ken
nebec Journal that applies to Belfast as well
as to Augusta. The journal cites instances
where people have gone to Boston and paid
more for articles than if they had been
bought at home. Rents, taxes and running
expenses are cheaper here than in the large
cities, and local merchants can, and do, sell
on closer margins. But other things being
equal 1t is Guty that every citizen owes to
his community to patronize home institu-
tions, and thereby contribute to their pros
perity Every time money is carried out of
town for the purchase of goods it is a direct
loss to the community. Every dollar ex
pended for goods at home is kept in local
circulation and becomes an active factor in
the city's prosperity. The holiday season is
at hand and our dealers are well supplied
with the latest and most desirable goods, in
Guiding the ornamental and substantial and
prices are lower than ever before. Many of
them have their announcements in our ad-
vertsing columns but we speak for all
when we say, spend your money at home.
At least, examine goods and prices before
sending elsewhere, and we think you will
find it is to your advantage to follow this ad-
vice.
