The Onasouson club, composed of the
gir!= OF the Ellsworth high school, held &
"rainbowo festival at Hancock hall last
Thursday evening. Fancy articles of all
sorts, confectionery, ice-cream, etc. were
offered for sale. Supper was served at $50.
The hall was plainly but tastefulIy deco
rated The various booths and tables
were presided over by alert misses who
used every persuasive art known to them
to induce purchases. Owing, probably,
to the nearness OF Christmas, the attend
ance was not as large was anticipated.
A social dance was held in the hall the
following evening. The net proceeds for
the two evenings amounted to between
so and S72, which goes toward paying the
balance due on the piano.

Oliver l.. Anderson, an Ellsworth boy
and graduate of THE AMERICAN office,
now of Bar Iiarbor, was i'll Ellsworth last
Friday, receiving congratulations. Oliver
was one of the principals at double we'd
ding in Cherrytield last Thursday. The
Cherryfeld Times in its report of the
wedding says: son Thursday at 6 p. m.
the residence of Thomas G. Newenham
WAS the scene of very pleasant and note
worthy event, it being the marriage OF
Miss Alice z. Newenham to Sidney A.
McTaggart, both OF Cherry field, and Miss
Maude McDevitt to Oliver Henderson, OF
Bar Harbor. The house was very prettily
decorated with flowers and potted plants,
and in one corner was beautiful ever
green arch, beneath which the bridal
couples stood. The ceremony, which was
performed by Rev. Fred n. Snow, OF the
First Baptist church, was witnessed by
nearly hundred invited guests. The
brides were very prettily attired in white
muslin trimmed with valencennes lace
and ribbon. The bridesmaids were Misses
Helen Newenham and Helen McDevitt,
sisters of the brides, and the best men
were Horace Newenham and Harold
Carter. Both couples are highly esteemed
and popular, as the large number OF beau
tiful gifts bestowed upon them testify"
John c. Gordon, manager OF the Els
worth and Pittstield creameres, returned
last week from trip through the State
in the interest OF the proposed creamery
com bination. He said it was early yet to
say anything about the project, more than
that such an effort is being made. He is
securing options on creameries all over
the State. Everything is going smoothly
so far, and he feels encouraged at the
prospect for the. ultimate success OF the
plan. II a sufficient number OF creamer-
les will go into the com bination, it is pro-
posed to form stock company. The
company will buy creameries, paying half
in cash and half in stock. This will leave
the same men in charge of the plants. 1t
is proposed to reduce the cost of produc-
tion by dividing the territory SO that one
plant will not be covering the same
ground as another. This will also do
away with the expensive plan of hauling
cream long distances. Another saving
will be in the manner of shipping goods
to market. Freight rates are high, and
must continue so as long as small amounts
