Not the Same Pines.

For year or two past We have ocea-
sionally referred in these columns to the
pines" Various papers are reporting
that dancing pavilion Is being built in
the pines and will be completed in
few weeks. We did not know when We
began to speak Of the tract Of land op-
posite Good viii Farm as the "Pines''
that there was another shady spot on
the Kennebec known to the public by
the same name. Indeed we are not sure
Of it now But in order to avoid misun-
derstanding we will change our nomen-
clature somewhat Hereafter We will
endeavor to speak Of the Good Will
Pines The pines SO called are on
the Kennebec opposite Good viii Farm.
No pavilion is being built in the Good
VIII Pines and it is not probable that
the Good " i'll Assembly will ever make
provision for dancing. We cannot easily
change the name of the Good Aill Pines
as the Assembly is incorporated. but we
will do all we can to avoid misunder-
standing Good Will Record.

there. Every thing within the power of
her friends was done to anay the pro-
gress Of the disease, and she was taken
to South Carolina last winter with the
nope Uhat change OF climate might De
beneficial. The benefit did not prove
permanent, however.
On the l4th of July last, Miss Bray
was married to John Hedman, instructor
in Greek at Colby University, and a de.
voted husband mourns with the mother
and only sister, Miss Eolia S. Bray, the
going out of life which held so much OF
promise.
Her bright intellect, attractive quail
ties, cheerful temperament and Christian
character won for her many friends

The latest bulletin issued by the S ate
Board of Agriculture reviews the con-
dition of the apple crop of the world,
the report showing that bad as the eon-
dition is in Maine, it is equally bad else
where. England has the worst crop of
winter fruit for years, France is short,
Belgium has very poor crops, Canada 5
crop will not exceed 100000 barrels, less
than one third that of last year. There
is a much better opening for American
fruit than last year, and the Maine far
mer who is lucky enough to have any to
sell will make a good thing of it, but
few have any. The supply is hardly up
to domestic demand.
