Butler and Stevenson-At last the

of Popuiism that he viii never support or

upon his party terminating another candi-

proposition is that when the Populist Ma

other candidate for Vice President and

the line 1t is not considered a foregOne
conclusion that the Senator's wish will be
the law of the committee. A bitter fight
probably will be precipitated by him when

interesting to know what he will do. He
has expressed such pronounced hostility TO
General Stevenson that it cannot be seen

The Libby Cattle Yard.

The Libby Bros. have arranged at Burn
ham one of the largest eceiviDg cattle yards
east of the WATERFOWL market yards and it
is their intention to make this the receiving
point for market cattle in Central Maine
To this yard will be brought the cattle Of
the surrounding country, and here will be
held market days each week. The mar
ket days will be opportunities for the farm.
ers to buy or sell, and when the weeks sale
is closed the cattle remaining will be ship
ped at once to the greater market. 1t is the
purpose of the Libby Bros. to make this sta
ton the feeding point on the Maine Central
for all the cattle going to the Massachusetts
market from the east.
At the present time the Libbys are feeding
most of the cattle that come from far away
Aroostook. In the spring it is proposed to
ask the Maine Central railroad to lay spur
track that will hold at least ten cars, 80 that
the unloading and reoading will be more
convenient. 1t is said that an effort was
made to get the Libby Bros. to locate their
yards in Waterville. but they preferred to
cling to the old place that was the scene of
their fathers great work as cattle buyer.

Our Best Crops.

This was the topic on which Joseph Ellis
of Brooks spoke, Jan. IS, at the meeting of
the State Board Of Agriculture in Augusta.
He handled his subject excellently and with
out notes. He considered that the best crops
for Maine and especially for Waldo county,
are hay, corn and oats and peas. Hay is the
backbone of Names agriculture. Farm
ing can not well exist without the crop. The
growing of stock depends on it.and Indirect
ly all the dairy products. One of the great
est needs of the farm is fertilizer, and the
best way to get this is to raise a good hay
crop aid feed it to the stock. The sudden
loss of the hay crop in the State would cause
u panic. 1t holds the same place with the
stock as flour does with man. Substitutes
have been tried, but nothing can fully take
its place. Farmers depend too much on
their hay crop. When there is an off year,
or prices are low, it causes lots of anxiety
because they have depended on this crop so
much.
Next in Importance to the hay crop he
placed the corn crop. More fodder can be
grown on an acre with this crop than with
any other. 1t is better also for our own use
The silo is proving important, las it is increas-
ing the production of corn.
The third best crop he considered to be
oats and peas. He found that it was better
to SOW grass with some other grain than
alone. Peas and oats when ground together
make well balanced food. This should not
be sown late, however. In closing he advis-
ed the raising of a large hay crop, land to help
this out large corn crop, just as much as
possible, and then SOW the land with peas
and oats

OF that dread presence ever all too near,
That leaveth but alas, an empty chair
flushing voice unto your hearts so dear.
And it is well, for could yon see ahead
And know how soon those lips would ST.
lent be,
How lonely cen the path your feet must
tread
Were it not sadder thus for you and me?
ooh cath, so hard and cruel at the best"
Our aching hearts SO oft doth wildly cry,
Forge tting how these weary feet need rest,
And peace and joy beneath a fairer sky.
And sc, although his loss seems hard to bear,
Aye, sadder far than words can ever tell !;
Still here to stay all ife's pain and care
Were crueller-He doeth all things well
And when for you shall come the messenger
That cometh lonely ones, cen soon or
late,
How sweet the meeting, when through
Coates ajar"
Husband and father doth your coming
wait.

Accident on Crotch Island.

An accident which came very near being
the result of costing two men their lives,
occurred on the quarry of John l.. Goss on
Crotch Island Jan. 11th A large grout pile
gave away, carrying with it Chas. Cleveland
and David Colt, who became entangled in
such a manner that escape was only short of
miraculous. Mr.. Cleveland actually rode
on top of the moving mass and had one leg
bound between two boulders which "che W
ed" and jammed it fearfully as the roc ks
crunched along, while Colt, who had made a
leap, landed in crevice twenty feet be-
low just as large boulder fell down like a
trap door and pinned him under. The affai r
terminated most fortunately, as Mr.. Cleve-
land will have the broken and crushed leg
saved entirely while Mr.. Colt received but
a slightly lacerated scalp and few bruises
that will readily heal. Mr.. Cleveland is a
resident of Crotch Island (Stonington) and
has wife and several children, while Mr..
Colt is only transient in the place, being
an employee on the quarry above mentioned.

SLEIGH RIDE TO SEARsPoRT Sleigh
rides to Searsport, with supper at the Sears
port house, have for years been popular
with our people, but this season the condi.
tions have not been favorable, and the first
ride of the season did not take place until
last week. Wednesday morning, Jan. 18th
Mr.. and Mrs. J. L. Sleeper decided to get up
a sleighing party in honor of Mr.. and Mrs
Edward A. Perry and family of Fargo, N
d., who are visiting here, and at eleven
O'Clock notified W. E. Grinnell by telephone
| that party of thirty would be over to sup.
per. But when the party was made up il
numbered forty -three. Mr.. and Mrs. Grin
nell were equal to the emergency, however.
and served supper bountful in quantity
and excellent in quality. After supper the
| evening was spent with cards and in social
converse, and then came the drive home by
moonlight. The sleighing was never better
and the affair was grand success from start
to finish.
