Concerning Local Industries.

Walter L. Gordon of the firm of F. J.
Gerry & Co, is at home from Belfast to re-
main for a short time. Mr.. Gordon appears
we'll pleased over the fact that the branch
creamery of the firm in that city is showing
up nicely this fall When the firm first
planned to go to Belfast there no cream
cry in the place and it at the urgent
solicitation OF some of the citizens that the
firm reached decision favorable to the
establishment of branch there. Mr.. Cor
don has paid fair price for the cream de-
livered at the firms creamery and gradually
the amount being brought in has increased.
The people down that way have come to
realize that the plant was backed by a re-
liable firm and that they could safely en-
bark in the business of keeping cows with
assurance that a market was ready for
whatever cream was produced. Probably
by another spring the amount now being
called will be more than doubled and quite
an increase in the receipts has been noticed
since the firm advanced the price slightly.

evening as Mademoselle Canary, and as such
he was certainly bird. Though it was

real devilish. Mademoiselle Canary did an
original skirt dance, and what it lacked in
gracefulness was amply made up Tor IN

Accidental Death OF Isaac D. Mixer

Isaac D. Mixer was instantly killed last
Saturday afternoon by falling from his
wagon, from which he was unloading press
ed hay. He was hauling hay from his farm
to the storehouse of the Belfast Fuel &
Hay Co., and was making his third trip for
the day. He was rolling the bales of hay
from the wagon and another man was roll
ing them into the storehouse. When his
companion returned from rolling away one
of the bales he found Mr.. Mixer lying appar
emily lifeless on the stone paving beside his
wagon. A telephone message was sent up
town for physician and Dr. r. A Wilson
responded at once. After ascertaining that
the skull was not fractured nor the neck or
back broken the doctor tried the usual meth
DDS of resuscitation, but without avail. Mr..
Mixer was removed to r. FL Coombs & Sons
undertaking rooms where another effort was
made to restore life, but in vain. He never
breathed nor was any pulse detected after
he fell. The only illnesses of the accident
were two BOYS, who said that Mr. Mixer
lifted on bale and that his hay-hook ap-
parently slipped out and he fell over back
ward. DR.. Wilson thinks that death was
caused by heart failure, the result of the
shock of the fall,
Mr.. Mixer was born IN Knox, son of
George and Ruth (Doten) Mixer. He was
a farmer and teamster, and lived in Knox in
early life. When about % years old he went
to California where be worked 18 years as
teamster and i prse trainer. After his return
he lived in Kaox about 2 years, and then
bought the Ford Gay place on the Head of
the Tide road, about two miles from this
city, where he has since lived. His wife,
formerly Eva Newell, survives him. They
who lives with her daughter in Waldo; one
brother John Mixer of Camden; and two
sisters Lydia Cammett of Belfast and Della
Sanborn of waldo. He was an Industrious,
honest man, and good citizen. His kind
ness of heart was unhounded, and no
needy one ever appealed to him to be turned
away unaided. The funeral was held at
his late home Tuesday forenoon, Mrs.
wentworth officiating. Among the floral
offerings, which We're many and beautiful
were cut flowers from Mrs. Charles San
born and Mr.. Isaac Sanborn, bouquet from
Mrs. Henry Richards, bouquet from Miss
Grace Mixer, cut flowers from Mrs. w B.
Cammett, flowers from Mrs. G. q. Smith,
