BROOKS. Miss Annie Rich of Bangor, who
is visiting her grandfather, Mark Shibles,
ESQ, of Knox, called upon friends here the
other day. The other day we had occasion
to drive by the farm of ex-Sheriff Lttletield
in this town and called to see what he was
doing. We found three or four men at work
painting and otherwise improving the farm
buildings. Mr.. Littletield has a uice farm
and keeps it under good cultivation. He
has one of the most thrifty young orchards
in the county. When he gets back on his
farm Joe pulls off his starch and gets down
to business. -. The funeral of Mrs. Caroline
Pattee, who died suddenly at Onset, Mass.
was held at Union church June 23d, Rev. F.
S. Dolitf officiating, Mrs. Cora Bowker
of Belfast is visiting at L, ID. Jellisous with
her two children, Master Tommy and
babe of eight weeks And by the way We
took a glance at Mr.. Jellisons place the
other day and saw much to interest us. He
has some sixty acres of land and the build
ings are near the Quaker Meeting House
and oy erlook the entire village. In the
garden which was well kept and free from
weeds, was a nice plot of gooseberries. He
estimates the crop at twenty-five bushels,
and they are about ready to pick. His pota-
toes are bossomed and his corn the best that
we have seen this season. He has nice
thrifty looking lot of black berries and his
pear trees give evidence of coming fruit. He
has one small plum tree from which he sold
last year over five dollars worth of fruit.
On the whole we concluded that Mr.. Jeli-
son is neat farmer and that he is we'll locat-
ed to 60 into the truck farm or garden bust
ness, something that will pay the man who
knows how and will attend to it, as witness
the success of A. b. Stantal of this
village, known as the largest producer
of straw berries in the county of Waldo. ...
