The school at the Cove closed last Friday,
two weeks sooner than intended on account
of the teacher Miss Bessie Knowton, going
to California with her father, Mr.. George
| Knowlton, who leaves this week for their
adopted State. Miss Knowlton has taught
good school and the progress made by the

Mr.. Wyman Faxon of Boston arrived last
Saturday on week 8 vacation. Every body
was glad to see Wyman, as it was expected
that his annual visit would be omitted this
year on account of his engagement by New
York silk importing house, where he is very
much liked. 1t is hoped that when another
summer rolls around he will return to Sat-
urday Cove where for several seasons he
has spent the most pleasant and happy
moments of his life among his host of
friends who will always be glad to see him
at any time.
The election Monday for Representative
| to Congress was a very tame affair, not much
interest being taken in the matter, The
weather being so fine the farmers took more
interest in farming and staid at home, and
only forty-nine votes were cast, good deal
less than a third of the usual vote thrown.
However, it was not bad showing on the
right side of the slate, as follows: Edwin C.
! Burleigh, Republican, IS; Frederick W.
Plaisted, Democrat, q. Mr.. Burleigh will
go to Washington as the Representative to
Congress from the 81 district, a most worthy
successor to the late Hon. Seth L. Milliken.
Mr.. W. H. Book of Cambridge, Mass, a
divinity student attending the Hebron Acad-
! envy, arrived last Thursday having been
employed by the Baptists to preach to them
i during the summer months. Sunday after
noon, owing to the bad weather, the audi
ence was SMALL but all present enjoyed the
sermon greatly and were we'll pleased with
the speaker. He chose his text from the
18th chapter of St. Luke, rom the sixth to
the ninth verse, inclusive, and from the
parable of the fig tree he brought forth beau
tiful thoughts clothed with a new meaning;
in language so simple and plain that all
present at once caught the significance of
the parable that was entirely new to them.
We believe that under the able, dignified and
! pleasing ministrations of Mr.. Book, the So
ciety will once more become united and
peace and harmony will again rest serenely
in the hearts of the members, if not, it would
be far better for the church to close its doors
and let the house stand as silent and pain
full fact to the passer by, that house di-
vided against itself cannot stand. The So
ciety is to be congratulated on being 80 sue
cessful in securing person so we'll adapted
| for the profession he so much adorns.
Fluent in speech, easy and graceful in his
bearing he is sure to win the hearts of his
congregation. AS an extemporaneous
| speaker he is pleasing and handles his sub
| ects in manner that at once interests and
holds the closest attention of his hearers
| to the end.
