QUICK WORK. Friends of the II .,s..s
Smith bought building, cleared the ruins
on to the foundation in less than 4 week
from the time their house was burned Our
teamsters responded to the cali and an old
fashioned hauling bee was the method of the
moving. Duril z the operation several snap
shots We're made of the long strings of horses
attached, Though we have not as vet seen
one OF the pictures We know from having
seen the original that they must be strong
reminders of the old days in Searsport.
A pleasant occasion was that of Thurs
day afternoon Oct. DIST, at Room - of

Jack screw with which he was working
slipped out and the end struck him in the
left eye making bad wound He went to
the office of DIR. Durgin, who advised his
going to hospital, and in forty i've minutes
had the wound dressed, letters OF introduce
ton written to a specialist, and the patient
on board the steamer bound for Boston. Adj
vices by letter from his brother Charles saw
he is doing as well as could be expected
under the circumstances. Although the
sight of the eye is gone they have succeeded
IN keeping down the inflammation.
SOME SUGGESTIONS Very few people are
aware that in addition to being one of the
most beautiful of the many summer resort
towns along the coast of Maine, Searsport is
also the best wooded town in the county of
Waldo-is best supplied with pine, spruce
and FIR for lumber. This being the fact it ia
a great wonder none of our citizens have
thought of starting mandatory to utilize
the supply. There are several locations
where slaves, heading and even barrels, for
which there is at present great demand, and
that, too, at a nearby market, could be man
nfactured. We have in our mind one loca.
