ANITA'S TRIAL.
Ellsworth Amateurs Well Received
in BuckspOrt.

Ellsworth Amateurs Well Received
in Bucksport.
The musical drama, 'Anita's Trial, ;" was
well received in Bucksport where it was
presented last Friday evening. The
Bucksport correspondent of the Bangor
Commercial says:
One OF the finest amateur pieces given
on Bucksport stage in good many
years was that of "Anita's Trial" by the
Ellsworth young ladies. Every part was
taken in a most excellent manner, and
only words of the highest praise can be
spoken of every one.
The feature of the entertainment was
the singing. Solos, duets and choruses
were introduced throughout the play
Solos were sung by Misses Georgia Hast
ings, Mabel Monaghan and Maud Presby.
Miss Monaghan made her first appear
ance here and 1t is very needless to say
that she made great hit. Miss Mona
CHAN will be more than welcome in
Bucksport any time she may choose to
come again, and packed house would
surely greet her. She sang several solos,
all of which received most unstinted APP
plause. Between the second and third
acts she came before the curtain and sang
Gounod's ''Sing, Smile, Slumber", and as
an encore gave "Sweetheart".
Inc SOLOS OF Misses Maude Presby ana
Georgia Hastings were very fine, each re-
ceiving encores. Every hing passed off
very smoothly indeed, and the ladies
should be proud vi { hcir production. Miss
Et hel Giles, who was to take part, was ii,
and Miss Agnes Lord took the part very
creditably, having only few hours in
which to prepare herself.
There was big house and quite a sum
must have been Melted. These ladies are
more than welcome to Bucksport at any
time and full house will greet them.

A Farmers Cash Union of
Bear River Valley has been
organized for the following
objects: Ist, to unite as farmers
in buying our farm implements,
hardware, mechine extries! and
such other articles as by union we
can probably buy direct from
wholesale firms and sell our farm
products direct to consumers.
and, to inculuate a broad, intelli-
gent ambient ambition among
our farmers, that more beneficial
results in agriculture and horti-
culture may be secured, together
with higher standard in moral,
social and intellectual culture and
a more thorough knowledge of
economical principles.
The Lehi banner. [volume] (Lehi, Utah) 1891-1917, 1897-12-21

When asked what life meant,
an eminent man, now gone. re-
piled without hesitation: ,s'Home
making."' He was right. There
are a few who care nothing for
home; that is, in their recklessness
and selfishness they can only see
the difficulties and not the delights
Of home, and then there is a
much larger number who would
enjoy home vastly, but for some
reason have never been able to
carry out their wishes. The
greatest good however, that comes
to man comes from the sweet and
enduring Influence of a harmonious
home circle, where the trials and
problems of life are met bravely
and courageously, and where the
success of good fortune of one is
the joy af all. 1t is worth every
thing to people out in the severe,
practical world to have the sustain
ing influence of a we'll re.
membered home circle.

The farmers of Lehi are not the
worse off in the world as the
farmers in other beet growing
districts seem to have trouble OF
their own and the beet question is
being seriously talked over in
many localities. There are
extremists on both sides who will
do their cause more harm than
good by going to extremes. The
question is going to be settled
amicably to the majority of those
concerned.
The Lehi banner. [volume] (Lehi, Utah) 1891-1917, 1897-12-21

No wonder some of our farmers
are always down to bed rock and
are continually complaining of
hard times. They work in the
summer but when winter come s
they lay off and talk over their
grievances while they leave their
machinery and farm implements
exposed to the keen attacks Of
wind and weather, sometimes in
the open field. When the notes
given for these are due they must
be paid while the implement
sooner rusts out than wears out.
No business on earth can succeed
in this manner and no class oil
people dare try it except farmers
These 'leakages must be stopped
if you want your work to yield ;
profit.

The Louisiana sugar manu-

sugar. This plan seems to work
very well with cane and might
work in the purchase of sugar
beets. So far as known It has
never been tried in any beet
district but we see no reason why
it should not for it seems to be
far to both manufacturer and beet

ube urue Criterion.

The famous orator, Col. Robert
G. Ingersoll, very truthfully re-
marks:
'"The place to take the true
measure Of a man is not in the
market place or on the corner, not
the forum or the field, but at his
own Preside. There he lays aside
his MASK; and you may learn
whether he is imp or angel, King,
or our hero or humbug. I care not
copper what his reputation or re-
ligion may be. If his babies dread
his coming and his better half
swallows her heart every time she
has to ask him for a S. bill, he's a
fraud of the first water; even
though he prays night and morn
till he is black in the face and
shouts hallelujah till he shakes the
eternal hills. But if his children
rush to the front gate to greet him,
and loves own sunshine illumines
the face of his wife when she hears
his foot fall, you can take it for
granted that he's true gold-his
home is heaven, and the humbue
never gets that near the great
white throne of God. He may be
rank atheist and red flag an.
archist and mugwump; he may
buy votes in blocks of five and bel
on the election; he may deal 'em
from the bottom and drink beer
until he can't tell q silver dollar
from circular saw, and still he
an infinitely better man than tbs
cowardly humbug who's all suaVity
but who makes home hell-wlfc
vents on the helpless head of wife
and children the i'll nature be
would like to inflict on his fellow.
