CREAMERY NEWS.
Dairying Interests of Ellsworth are
Increasing.

Increasing.
The dairying interests of Ellsworth and
vicinity are increasing yearly, due largely
to the Ellsworth creamery, which is
reaching out further and further in all
directions for new businessA The cream
cry is now making about $500 pounds of
butter weekly, and Mr.. Gordon is selling
many hundred quarts of milk and cream
beside.
Those who remember the struggle
which the Ellsworth board of trade had
only three years ago to secure the pledges
for the necessary 400 cows which Mr..
Gordon required before he would agree to
begin business here, may be surprised to
learn that he is now receiving milk from
500 cows, and the number is constantly
increasing. This does not take into ac-
count the increase in private dairying
operations that has been given new i'm
petus in this section by the creamery.
The growth has been gradual but con-
slant.
One of the latest moves in this field is
the establishment of large herd of fine
SdtllS ut II. oItSiy lESHlOI ldI III
Mr.. Greedy and Mr.. Gordon are interested
in this enterprise. A herd of twenty-five
or thirty cows will be established, mostly
grade Jerseys and Ayshres. Ten head
arrived Monday, incluning two full
blooded Ayshires, three Jerseys and five
grade Jerseys.
At North Bluehill, where a hsnd-skim-
ming station has been in operation for
some time, as a branch of the Ellis
worth creamery, Mr.. Gordon is building a
new station, in which will be placed
separator and the necessary steam
machinery to operate it. The machinery
is now at Ellsw orth, and is only awaiting
the erection OF building for it. H. B.
Gray will be in charge OF the North Blue
hill station.
But the Ellsworth creamery has reached
beyond the confines of Hancock county
Another dairying enterprise in which
Ellsworth people are interested has been
established at Pittsteld.
On the Hathorn farm in that place E.
H. Greedy and John A. Peters, ir., of Els
worth, have placed herd of twenty i've
cows, the cream from which will be sent
to the Ellsworth creamery. MIR. Peters
has moved most of his fine herd from
his Lamoine farm to Pittsfield. William
Coughlin, of Ellsworth, who has been in
charge of Mr.. Peters farm at Lamoine,
has gone to Pittsfield. Alterations and
improvements are being made on the
buildings at Hathorn farm.

OBITUARY..
ISAIAH BLAISDELL,


Isaiah Blaisdell, an old citizen OF Ellis
worth, and one who has always been held
in the highest esteem, died Thursday
morning.
Mr.. Blaisdelf was in the eighty-third
year of his age. He came to Ellsworth
from Orland, his native place, nearly
fifty years ago, and was engaged in mill
ing for J. T. & G. II. Grant. He became in
terested in vessel property and gradually
added to his possessions in this line,
building and rebuilding several vessels,
until he was one of the largest owners of
vessel property in Ellsworth.
AS his vessel property increased, he de-
voted all his time to its management, act
ing as his own agent. For several years
past he has practically retired from bust
ness.
Mr.. Blaisdell was good neighbor and
citizen, though never taking an active
interest in city affairs. He was one Of the
Oldest Masons in this jurisdiction, having
been raised to the Master Masons' degree
in Lygonia lodge in 1855.
The deceased leaves two sons-Fred NJ
Blaisdell, of Ellsworth, and Walter L.
Blaisdell, inspector of stesmb boat boilers
for the Bangor district.
The funeral services were held from the
late home OF the deceased on Water street,
Saturday afternoon, Rev. j. P. Simonton,
OF the Methodist church, officiating. The
pail bearers were Mayor Joseph NJ. Hig-
gins, Isaac NJ. Grant, Samuel l.. Lord and

At dinner some years ago Mark Twain

At dinner some years ago Mark Twain
had just finished piquant address, when
Mr.. Evarts arose, showed both his hands
down into his trousers pockets, sa was his
habit, and laughingly remarked: Doesn't
it strike the company as a little unusual
that professional humorist should be
funny?" Mark Twain waited until the
laughter excited by this sally had SUBJ
sided and then drawled out: Doesn't IL
strike this company as a little unusual
that lawyer should have his hands in
his own pockets?"
