and yields its life to light and frivolous
things. then the field Of its usefulness
will be restricted. Never was there a
stronger demand or better oppor-

Of n greater zeal or desire than those

State Overseer +. S. Adams of Bow

speech, and the meeting was then clos

great satisfaction at the good work
already accomplished, and also the
promises of a bright future. At the
evening session of the Grange the time
was devoted to an instruction in ritual

The building is }5X6l on the ground and

At the front is a neat portico which
makes a very pretty ornamental entrance.

AUGUSTUS WESTERN INVESTORS.
Their Successes Have Not Been Exceedingly
Large Of Late.

Many Augusta spectators, who, during
the boom times invested in Western real
estate, are still holding it. paying taxes
and carrying it from year to year in the
hope that some day they may be able U
get their money back and something be-
sides. A Well-known Augusta capitalist,
who has dealt extensively in Western
and Southern property. states that there
has been no such Improvement, finan-
cially, in the South as in the West. He
notes that considerable Augusta capital
was invested in real estate in DenisOn,
Tex, and vicinity, and the investors have
been unable to realize anything from it in
numerous instances. paying the taxes as
they become due. Several purchases of
improved property We're made where
enough returns Were received to pay for
taxes and repairs and yield small dvi-
dend. He says that the original investors
in the Denison cotton mill will not obtain
much, if anything. There has been re
organization of the company, however,
new machinery has been set up and man.
ufacturing will be undertaken.
This same Augusta capitalist declares
that losses of a large percentage of Ken
nebec people who put their money into
Western lands Were occasiOned by re-
fusal 10 sell when they received good
offers for their property. After pGrchas-
ing many could have sold at fair ad-
vance over the sum paid but expecting to
obtain more. held on. to their sorrow. He
related an instance IN his own experience.

mother missed the girl, who was seven

search. She heard the little one had
gone to Gardiner, and down there she
went. only to soon return to Augusta.
The marshal found the conductor who
was on the car on which the little girl
had travelled, and sent the mother on
her way again with instructions to re-
turn in case the child was not found at
the relatives home. Presumably the
little one was found, for the woman
did not return.

that it will surely fall if something is
