ing order. The booth has been placed in
Mathews & Youngs store. There have
been several arrivals in town since my last
communication: Miss Shackeford of Den
yer, Colorado, and Ned Gumby of Tampa.
Fla, are guests of j. j. Walker; Charles
Pulcifer and Miss Florence Mould of New
York are the late arrivals at the New York
cottage; Miss La Fetra and brother of New
York have rooms at Mrs. E. L. Mitchell's !;
Miss Bernice Moore and little brother of
Bath are at L. l.. Prescotts; Miss Mabel
Burton of Pittsfield is at L. G. Morses.
Salmon are caught in the lake quite plenti-
fully this season, and baked salmon is no
uncommon thing here at the present time.
Bass are at a discount, with US. Though the
close time is off from white perch but few
are taken. People have not begun haying
to any extent as yet. The recent heavy
rain will no doubt increase the crop of hay
slightly, but it comes too late, and the hay
crop in this locality will be light at BEST.
Liberty has become quite mart for traffic
in lime casks.

ton of $50 was taken up for his benefit by
the workmen and people on Mt. Waldo.
1t is reported til at the Italians on Mt. Wal
do struck for more pay last week and that
the matter was settled without stop. L.
F. Gould has sold good colt to parties
across the river. Emery Calderwood and
Joseph Gray have taken the Mcdaniel salt
marsh to cut. A large portion OF the last
years salt hay crop was left on the ground
and this year hand moving will be work in
deed. But there are pieces that have been
cut for years with the moving machine and
some quite soft places are cut with ma
chine, using bog shoes on the horses. The
rain has come and grain, potatoes and all
hoed crops are doing finely now; but look
out for rust and rot in the potato patch. The
10-liner old beetles are very numerous this
year, and on some hills of potatoes there are
three sizes of slugs from different hatchings.
But Paris green does the business. The
hay press has been around and is now at l.
F. Gould's. The press is run by A. NJ Ellis,
who lives on the Denslow farm in Stockton,
and his crew is from that section. Consd-
cradle talk has gone the rounds about men
who came this way recently and left num-
bers ranging from 120 to 800 on the rocks.
fences and pieces of board along the high
way, something less than 10 rods apart, and
sometimes mile or more, and usually at all
the corners. 1t is said here that the number
indie ates the height above sea level, or above
low water mark. But the mysterio man
who preceded the number men was what
puzzled the most. He drove team and
carried tripod and something that looked
like slate, and el cry little while he would
jump out and set up and sight all around
and mark down something and jump into
his wagon and go before body found out
what he was doing, and in this section nc
one got near enough to him before he was
off to find out any thng about his business.
80. The 4th and celebration came off at the
centre schoolhouse with lemonade and ice
cream, picnic feast, potato race, bag race
and foot races TOO numerous to mention end
ing with fire works in the evening This
celebration was COTTON up by the staid ones
who had no disposition TO stray from home
and the chickens and chores on the fourth,
and it was enjoyed finely by both old and
young. And probably that day will be in
the memory of Manson Georges yellow
hound dog, remem bered as the greatest feast
of good It'd bits and junks of erything
good from the Chi Id rem that he ever had, and
next year he probably will be seen on the
fourth trotting down to the schoolhouse
again. Farmers will begin haying when
that bad and foggy weather is at hand this
month.
