TO THE FARMERS
of Waldo County :

The time is fast approaching when the hay crop
of 1898 will be put upon the market for sale. Re
ports from all sections of the country show the
largest crop of hay raised in many years, especial
" through the middle and western States; in view
of these facts it is essentially necessary, in order
to secure the highest prices for our product in the
various markets of the country that the prepare
tor of the crop shall equal that eff any other por
ton of the country. This result only be OBJ
tanned by using Dedrcli's upright press. 1t seems
at present though the larger part of our surplus
hay must find market on the cattle steamers,
up in the old style lever presses will not be used
for this purpose when better pressed article can
be obtained, and even then must be sold at dis
count. 1t is of vital importance, especially in this
year of low prices, that the farmers cooperate
with the dealers and pressers in this matter and
raise the standard of our hay. Don't use the old
lever presses, but have the best and obtain the
highest prices, which can only be done by pro
ducing perfectly pressed bale of hay.
The DERRICK presses in this section are operat-
ed by Freeman Ellis 4 Sons, South Brooks
Charles Barnes, Waldo; Edward Greer. Belmont
and E. B. Greeley, Swanvie. Communications tC
any of the above parties. or F. G. White, Belfast
will receive prompt attention. low36
| TERMS: Pressers furnishing board and
wires, 81 80 per tom 81 10 per ton for press
owners of hay. F. Il. WHITE.

Brooks Aug. 24th aged % years, L months and
l6 days:
Dearest Edith, thou hast left MS,
Thou hast sought another cline,
With the angels thou art dwelling
Far beyond the shores of time.
Angel forms did bear thee thither
To those mansions bright and fair,
Sorrow thee no more will trouble,
Thou art resting over there
Precious, loving, faithful Edith.
Thou hast left an untitled place,
Death thy tender voice hath stilled,
We see no more thy beaming face.
Wisely thou mad'st thy early choice
To walk with Christ the narrow way,
Following in that radiant path
Which leads us to eternal day.
Father, mother, sister, brother,
Weep not for she's gone before,
But look beyond this changeful sphere,
To that bright and shining shore.
The flowers so pure we're fair to her
Which she gathered by the way,
So Christ, our Lord, has taken her home,
Where flowers of good works meier decay

This appropriation has been termed by some
intudicious sensatonalists a war appropriation.
1t Is not. It is no more a war measure than the
steady growth Of the Nation In numbers and
wealth Is an act Of war. 1t IS, on the contrary,
a peaceful measure. an appropriation for pre-
venting war and for maintaining the peace War
was not probable before the vote was passed.

both sides Of the Atlantic are cooled and So
