not blind at BIRTH but that her eyesight was
destroyed by the use of some kind of wash
tor sore eyes when she was but a few months
Hitt' 1HlS is Tile bUlTU Time she has been
sei'' 80 see what could be done for her, the
citizens always contributing literally to
help tighten the burdens of her parents. She
was sent to the Eye & Ear Intirmary in
boston several years ago, but they said she
was too young to have the operation per-
formed A few years later she was sent to
Portland, with the same result This time
the physicians concluded to make the at
tempt. The report is that they have operat-
ed ON one eye and the prospects look very
satisfactory for happy results. She is now
about IT. years of age, and if her sight should
be restored what new world it will be to
her. DIR. g. G. Whitcomb of Monroe has To-

nounce that owing to age and inrmites he
IS obliged to give up the novelty business, and
extends his thanks to all his friends who
have so literally patronized him for so many
years. The Georges River Trotting Park
Association, or West Waldo Agricultural
Association, has been turned over to new
set of officers, who will make an earnest eff
