the largest Goncourse of people that ever as
sembled in this town. The attendance is esti.
mated by good judges to have been 3,OOO, and
some placed the number much higher. All
tne surrounding country was well represent
ed, from Warren on the south to Albion on
the north, and from Belmont on the east to
emma on the west. For five hours on
every avenue leading to the shore, was seen
continual stream of teams vending their
way thitherward. The Union Band furnish
ed music for the occasion. The little steam
er Hervey did fine business taking out ex-
curslon parties. The object of the picnic we
did not learn, as there We're no public
demonstrations of any kind 1t is presumed
that the object was for the several cores
pondence to become acquainted. Every cor
respondent Wore a red badge and they were
many, mostly girls. There are five in this
town viz, Liberty (unknown), East Liberty
South Liberty, Libertyville and Centre Lib
ertyville and all the surrounding towns

BROOKS. Our farmers are rejoicing to see
this warm pleasant weather, for with the re-
cent rains it means a rapid increase in the
growth of all vegetation. The prospect for
the hay crop has been very poor in this vi
entity, but there is yet time to grow fair
crop All kinds of sowed aud planted crops
have been looking very poorly on account of
the cold, dark weather. The road ma
CHIMES have done good service and there
was plenty for them to do. 1t seems as if
the roads We're Eever in worse condition
than they We're this spring. . The DR. Rich
house is nearly finished. The Jonathan
irving blacksmith shop is now clapboarded

tom of his house laid and is now framing it,

banquet room of the Knights of Pythias has

lodge is growing very fast. We noticed
last week that Geo. A. Bailey had bought of
parties in Brooks one of the fastest colts in
eastern Maine. If he will come to Brooks
now the same parties will show him another
one with which they will not have to take his
dust. 1t would surprise you to look over
the assessors books in Brooks and see how
few are the numbers of colts in town below
4 years of age. Low prices have nearly
stopped the breeding of colts in this town..
