"TRLBY." Manager Cottrell has secured
William A. Brady's "Trilby company for
W ednesday evening, May 10. On this oc-
casion the public of Belfast will have
| chance to witness the best play and com
| pany ever seen here "Trilby" is a char
| acter which appeals with special force to the
ladies'. Sweet and winning, always SYM
pathetic and lovable, her adversities only
the stronger cement the affection she creates
in the hearts of her audiences. One of the
special features of the play is the singing of
| the famous song "Ben Bolt" The quadrille
dance will also be introdu ced. These two
features alone are worth the price of adj
| mission.
THE CROPS. Secretary Mckeen of the
| State Board of Agriculture will say in his
forthcoming bulletin, the tilage number,
that from a careful observation of the re-
plies infer that there will be larger
acreage of hoed crops than usual, which we
believe to be an encouraging sign, as it
would appear to indicate the practice of a
| system of shorter rotation by larger num-
Der of our farmers. Following is the sum-
mary for Waldo county:
| Condition of grass fields, good. Slight
winter killing of clover on low ground. Sea-
son five days late, Acreage of grain. SO per
| cent. condition of fruit trees, 85 per cent.
| plums and other small fruits, 90 per cent.
