with great loss in he departure Of DR..
d. w. Bunker to Bar Harbor. As super

the standard Of education here. He is a

West BrooksyiiIe.
THE FOURTH CELEBRATED.
The Fourth of July celebration by the
church people at West Brooksville WAS a
decided success. The fantastic parade in
the morning was most fantastic. The
grove by the church, where the most Of
the day was spent, was the most comfort
able place in this region for the hot day.
The seats, platform, tents and tables were
abundant, we'll arranged and beautifully
decorated. Upon the platform were an
organ, ia BILE, and sufficient seating room.
The exercises of the morning opened
with the singing of America" by all the
people. This was followed by prayer,
the reading of the Declaration OF INDIE
pendence, and the Grafton by Hon. George
NJ. Warren, of Castine.
Mr.. Warren's address was most appro-
pirate for the day, and was listened to
with rapt attention. He spoke of the
growth and present greatness of our coun-
try, its strength and influence in the
world, political and moral. He justified
the wars in the history of our country, ex-
cepting that with Mexico. and very truly
said that the present conflict with Spain,
in which we are giving blood and treasure
freely for humanity's sake, for the help
ing of a weak sister in her oppression, is a
moral spectacle for angels and men, such
as the world never saw before.
After the exercises all excellent dinner
was plONiOtN.
In the afternoon there was pleasing
programme OF recitstions and music, a
flag drill by twenty young ladies and
stirring addresses by Rev. Andrew Gray
and Rev. d. Smith. A few closing words
of congratulation were added by the
pastor and chairman, Rev. j. 5. Richards,
and an evenings entertainment at the
school hall was announced.
At the school hall programme of an
hours length, consisting of Rotations,
solos, duets and instrumental music,
together with beautiful flag exercise by
the children, admirably executed, was
carried out, after which there was the
sale OF cake and ice-cream. A social hour
was enjoyed
The proceeds of the day amounted to
about $50, which Will be devoted to
church work. Speaking OF the day one
of the clergymen present says "By cele-
brating he day in this way, rather than
by racing drinking and carousing, cannot
be estimated in dollars and cents. The
interest excited in our country's history,
standing and welfare by the admira bic
address OF the morning cannot but be a
lasting good
