PUBLIC RECEPTION.

The knights of Pythias gave their first
public reception at Milton hall last
Tuesday evening. Invitations were ex-
tended to over 200 guests, and the evening
being fine they responded almost to a
man. Winter Harbor, Steu ben, Goulds-
boro Milbridge, Franklin and Hancock
were represented.
After working the third degree with
two candidates, the guests who had as
sembed at the Granite hotel began to
flock into the hall, where bountiful
supper was served by the mem bers of the
order to over 300 people. After supper
there was grand ball in the hall above
To serve supper to over 800 people is no
small task, yet the committee in charge
of the department showed such whole
hearted hospitality, and performed their
duties in such handy manner that the
supper WAS complete success. Edward
Bragdou particularly distinguis he'd him
self by making one of his famous Han
cock county oyster stews.
Harold F. Gordon, who was one of the
candidates and the tallest man in the or
der, WIS the victim OF many a merry Jest
over his exploits in riding the goat.
Music WAS furnished by Messrs. Bun
ker d Noyes' orchestra of four pieces.
The regeg on was thoroughly enjoyed by
all, and reflects credit upon the order, be-
ing free from those grosser elements
which are so harmful to many public
gatheriA = in the county.

were using Paine's celery compound-the
only spring medicine that physicians en-
dorse, and intelligent families in every
community have come to rely upon with
confidence.
Mr.. Guerra was not long in finding out
the great reliance that is thus placed
on Paine's celery compound by the best
Informed people, and he was not slow in
taking advantage of the great remedy
himself. Here is his statement, unquali-
fed, conclusive:
Kansas City. March 16, 1898.
.At times, when 1 nave been seemingly
exhausted from arduous work. Paine's
celery compound has been of such benefit
to me tina it seems now I could hardly
have progressed but for it. When sleep
was slow in coming and my appetite
tagged, a general toning up of the sys-
TEN followed the use of the compound.
While 1 am not versed in things medical,
I do know a fact when I encounter 1t,
and that Paine's celery compound helped
me and gave me a feeling of new strength
is a fact"
ENRIQUE GUERRA.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1899-03-18

No time is so favorable as March and
April for getting strong and well.
A thoroughly well person eats with rel
ish, sleeps soundly, works with zest, and
without worry from morbid anxiety as
to the outcome of his efforts.
If you feel you are out of health,
strength and spirits; if you show signs OF
nervousness and exhaustion; if you have
that feeling of lassitude that comes in
the spring to those who are out OF health;
If your blood shows the usual signs of
impurity-Panie's celery compound will
turn you right-about-face towards health.
Enrique Guerra, the Mexican consul,
has the confidence not only Of his govern
ment, but of the American public.
Through his intervention many important
commercial questions between the
United States and Mexico have been hap
PLY adjusted.
During his long residence in this csoun-
trv. Mr. Guerra has lived in a circle
where the best possible medical treat
ment is always ~obtainable. He early dis
covered that in the spring, when nature
seems most willing to lend its best as
sistance to the sick and feeble, his friends
