A Golden Wedding in Winterport.

The most notable social event of the
season in Winterport was the celebration
Jan. 18th of the 50th anniversary of their
marriage by Capt. and Mrs. Benz. At
wood. A large number of invitations
daintily printed in gold were sent out, and
Notwithstanding the exceedingly disagree
able weather at an early hour the house
was filled with the guests who assembled
to offer their congratulations on the hap
Ply occasion. At 7 p. m. delicious col
lation of ice cream, cake, coffee, fruit.
nuts, etc, was served and very pleasant
social evening followed.
Good music and fine phonograph add :
ed much to the entertainment. We can
not enumerate all of the beautiful pres
ents which were received, but among
them we noticed an elegant chair, silver
service gold lined, silver berry spoons
dessert spoons, butter knife, sugar spoon.
salt and pepper, a beautiful piece china
set, cups aud saucers, cut glass water
bottle, handsome vases, doilies, photo
graphs, and about $50 90 in gold coin.
Capt. Atwood was born April II, 1928,
and married Miss Mary Campbell Jan. II,
1913. He began going to sea at the early
age of II and his first voyage was in a yes
sci called ''Rev. Salvation John Murray"
Capt. Jacob Carleton. He was master of
vessel for 20 years. During the war he
enlisted in Co. D, Goth Maine Regt. In
1892 he was appointed game warden,
which position he still fills. May the
captain and his estimable wife live to err
joy yet many years Of happiness is the
united wish of their many friends.

The small number of railroad bankrupt
aies in 1897, and the great progress made
IN the restoration of companies already in
the hands of receivers to solvent basis
through foreclosure and reorganization,
is clear indication of the improved con-

Try. AS contrasted with the bankruptcies
in 1896 and 1898 (the year of the panic, J

1t can be authoritatively stated that the
United States leads the world in the iron
and steel trade. Our supremacy in this
line is now admitted by England, as is
evidenced by the purchase of raw ore from
US for English manufacture. By virtue of
labor saving methods OF the most improv-
ed character, OF outputs by individual
plants four times greater than the best of
England's, of economic transportation,
and of the enormous stores Of cheaplv
mined bat higb-grade ores with which
this country abounds, we have attained
the first position in iron ore mining and
iron and steel making.
