The united efforts of Messrs. Andrews
and Rhoades, who are holding protracted
meetings, have been rewarded by the con-
version and baptism of Mrs. William Wes-
ton and Mrs. Oscar Drinkwater, which took
place on the shore at the Cove Sunday after

of Mr.. Andrews, who performed the cere-

The ladies of the Good Templar society
gave largely attended dance at Union
Ii.
Gilman and Foss furnished the music which
was highly appreciated by the dancers and
acknowledged by all to have been the best
music given for dance here for long time
1t was splendid time, and the forty couples
who occupied the floor were pleased with
everything and enjoyed every moment.
Supper was served in the hall below and w as
well patronized, so that the society reaped a
substantial amount from that source as we'll
as from dancing. Altogether it proved a
very successful affair for the society. 1t is
proposed they give few more during the
summer season, and probably they will do
Riding through the Camp Grounds one dav
last week We found everyone embellishing
their cottages and grounds, setting flowers
here and there, and seeming to take great
PRIDE IN their surroundings. AT Temple
Heights MI. Collins McCarty has his new
cottage we'll along, and when finished it
VIII be fine addition to the part of the
grounds it IS located in. \ nice new road
has been made from the main road up by
the southern end of the rostrum circliug the

Passing through the Methodist grounds we
noticed considerable clearing up had been
done and everything looked fresh and at
tractive. MIR. Frank a. Dlckey was moving
the park and other vacant paces prepara-
tory to the rush that is expected to come
soon. The cottages looked nicely in their
new and varegated coats of paint. Prob
ably the one that attracts the attention of
tile visitors more than any other is the Flood
cottage, as one leaves the ground near the
Perkins store. The splendid contrast of color
combined with the beautiful effects of its sur
roundings causes the observer to look sec
ond time upon its glistening surface, which
impresses the beholder with the idea that
none but a skllful painter could have done
the work 80 neatly and is very gratifying to
know that the gentleman who owns the cot
tage had no occasion to go outside of North
port TO find the man qualified to do it, and
no doubt Mr.. Bartlett Wadlin of East North
port takes con siderable pride in the beauty
and finish of his work and justly So too; for
it shows that great care and pains were
taken by him.
