In the death of Lewis Friend. Ellis
worth is called upon to part with an
other of its most worthy and highly
esteemed citizens, and nothing but
expressions of sincere regret are
heard on every hand.
For more than forty years Mr..
Friend had been identified with this
city. Coming here in the early sos, a
foreigner, an utter stranger, with
meagre knowledge of our language
and customs, he had much to contend
with; but the community into which
he had come quickly perceived his
high qualities of mind and heart, and
his long business career has amply
demonstrated that the confidence he
inspired had not been misplaced.
Mr.. Friend was man of rare judg-
ment in business affairs; undemon-
strative and unobtrusive, he rarely
spoke without weighing well his
words, and although he seldom held
public office, his counsel on public
affairs was often sought, and was
freely given.
In business he was the soul of honor.
His word was as good as his bond.
Conservative by instinct and by train
ing, he nevertheless kept abreast of
the times and lived to see his business
grow from very small beginnings to
one of the largest and best-appointed
establishments of it's kind in Hancock
county.
AS citizen, Mr.. Friend, though for
eign- born, was loyal to town, State
and nation to the highest degree.
AS friend and neighbor he was con-
genial and true. And to his family,
bowed down by poignant grief, the
heart of Ellsworth goes out in SYM
pathy, and shares the sorrow caused
by the passing away of good man.

\ Familiar Complaint.

\ complaint, by no means new
one. comes to us from the clerk of
one of Hancock county's towns, re-
garding the failure of justices, minis
tiers and doctors to make returns to
the town clerk of marriages, births
and deaths within six days, as re-
quired by law. He cites several in
stances of gross neglect, which have
come under his personal observation.
One doctor made returns to him one
day recently of ten birth certificates,
which had been collecting for nearly
a year. Another doctor has returned
but one or two, when several more
must be due. The town clerk reports,
to the credit of one physician in the
town, that he is very prompt in max
ing returns. But this is only one of
three physicians in this particular
town.
In regard to returns of marriages,
the justices and ministers are equally
delinquent. In many cases, too,
either through ignorance or careless
ness, the law is not always strictly OBJ
served in other respects. The law re-
