JACKSON. One of the great events of the
season in the quiet town of Jackson occurred
on the evening of Sept Goth, at the home of
Hon. c. 81. Getchel, when their youngest
daughter, Roxa B., was united in marriage
with Mr.. George A. Hodgdon, one of Far
mingtons most enterprising young men.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. d..
Bracket, pastor of the F. B. church, in the
presence of the Immediate families of both
parties. Tie bride was very prettily attired
in dress of white mohair trimmed with
liberty silk, ornamented with flowers and
diamonds, with slippers of white kid. She
carried cluster of roses. The groom was
dressed in the regulation black. During
the ceremony the bridal couple stood under
large bouquet of flowers, presented by
Mrs. D. d. Gould, and during the ceremony
the marriage ring was placed on the hand
of the bride by the husband. After the
congratu larions of friends the company
repaired to the dining room, where boun-
teous repast stood waiting, to which ample
justice was done. With social chat and pleas
ant anecdotes an hour passed quickly away
On returning TO the parors the humorous
and costly presents received attention. They
included package of bank notes and checks
of large value, presented by the fathers of
the new firm, as evidence of their best
wishes. Mr.. Hodgdon and wife will remain
with her parents few days and then 60 to
their home in Pennington, followed by the
best wishes of their many friends in Jackson
aud vicinity.
PROSPECT. Mr.. and Mrs. James Wise are
visiting c. Fl. Nickerson.. The lost sheep
and lamb that range from Standpoint along
the way to Searsport, most of the time in
the woods, when last seen were looking
pretty tattered and torn. Her old fleece is
on yet as she escaped the shearers. At blue
berry time she was seen on the McCaslin
hill hear by here. The sheep and lamb
must belong to some flock owned in some
town west from here-Searsport Belfast OF
Swanville. Another threshing machine,
run by Gene Nickerson, is in town, and is
now at Gardiner Clark S.. George Howe,
wife and daughter, of Dixmont are visiting
at A. p. Norton's... Howard Grant and
wife of Winterport visited Mr.. and Mrs.
Gardiner Clark last week. .. Miss Flora
Donavan is working for Mrs. Lancaster of
Stockton Springs. AT the fair last week
there was a great deal of talk about the
granite company at Mt. Waldo and the stone
cutters union and the Italians got jab
once in while. But with several years
job by the company I think the talk will
simmer down after a while to pay in pro-
portion to labor for everybody. Sunday,
| Sept. 10th, there were more vessels sailed up
the Penobscot river than any day this sea-
son. A four-masted schooner has never yet
gone by Fort Knox under sail; but in the
days before tow boats Richard Heagan, an
old pilot, has backed and filled and worked
| a ship through BuckspOrt narrows with a
fair tide and head wind. Arthur Boyd of
Prospect, one of the excursionists to Phila-
delphia and other places, has arrived home.
